 The bride came very near spelling a
 wedding in Tucson last week. The
 ceremony was jogging along in regular
 form until the judge with all his dig
 nifty came to the clause where the bride
 was asked whether she would obey her
 husband all through life. The wife
 made an emphatic protest against the
 use of the word obey. She said unless I her husband would swear to obey her 1 she would decline to give an affirm l ative answer. The matter was finally
 compromised and the ceremony pro- 1 ceded. Henry Cooper had a narrow escape from losing his life yesterday at the Junction, says the CocOnin0 Snn. He
 was en route home from Prescott and stepped off the train at the Junction to converse with some friends and was standing with one hand on the guard
 rail when the engineer put on a full head of steam, taking him unawares and only for his presence of mind in
 throwing himself away from the train he would have lost his life. He was lucky in escaping with a lacerated hand and several minor bruises.
 The case of the city of Phoenix vs. Little Egypt came up for trial before the city recorder today. The trial was postponed until So'clock Mon- day morning. Dr. Fl. A. Hughes, the complaining witness, who swears to the immodest display. passed few hot
 words with Gus Hirschfield, one of the carnival committee. The latter made
 strong lead with his right for the dector's nasal organ, but he fell short, and by.standers prevented further physical discussion. In the meantime the show goes merrily along. Enter prise.
 Judge Sloan, at Prescott, heard the mandamus proceedings in the case brought to test the validity of the act permitting women under certain quail. ficatioTs to vote at city elections. He tiOnal in that it conflicted with the organic act of the territory, and dismissed the application. The or ganic act defines the qualifications of voters, who must be citizens of the United States over the age of twenty one years. The law referred to makes all property owners, whether twenty one years of age or not, regardless of sex, as qualified to vote.
 When the skirt dancers appear in Phoenix this winter it is to be hoped that none of the young members of the legislature from Graham county will become giddy.--SolomOn Bulletin.
 Graham county is the home of the man who slept in the bath tub at Flor ence. We dread to think of what would become of this man in Phoenix. But the Bulletin should not worry about the "young' members of the leg islature. It is the old boys who have to be watched. 1t would take more than skirt dance to interest the young men from that county. ty.-Citizen.
 Nogales is preparing to give one of the swellest social functions ever held in Arizona. The people of the border town will spend $3,000, it is said, upon the affair, and will open the eyes of every city in the southwest and show them how to entertain properly. There will be three Mexican bands employed stationed at different places in the GUS tom house where the room will be gor geously arrayed in brilliant lights ar ranged so as to represent a union of the American and Mexican flags. and the floor will be as bright and as smooth as glass. It is to be full dress affair and is to take place on the night of December Both.
 The Phoenix Gazette tells of several 1 attorneys who visited the Midway Plaisance one night during the carni val at Phoenix, and before leaving the | street thA legal luminaries wandered into the cooche.cooche tent. The per | formance in that quarter was said to be the real thing. In any event, it seemed to strike responsive chord in the breasts of the lawyers, and they staid with it to the end. As an evi- dence of their staying qualities, it is said that when the fire bell rang out clear and distinct in the night air, and men and women were rushing to the scene of the conilagration, prominent attorney looked at his brother in sin at his side and said: "Say Judge, l wouldn't leave here if the d--d town burned down, would your" to which his friend replied--"let her burn, and like Nero, who fiddled while Rome was burning, tho four attorneys continued their fddling while the barber shop sank into ashes hard by where the gen tie cooche-oooche girl was dancing to amuse her admirers.
