A COLLISION.-The circulation of
The Republican has grown so great and
so many carriers are required for the
delivery of the papers that they can
hardly keep out of each others way,
even in the early morning hours when
they have the streets practically to

A HUNTING PARTY.-A party OF
Phoenix gentlemen went hunting on
Saturday and found all sorts OF game,
but they didn't bring any of it home.
They had to go some distance down
the valley before they reached the
point where ducks. quail. rabbits. deer
and bear were known to be thick, and
as matter OF precaution they laid
their only gun. in the bottom of the
wagon behind the seat during the long
drive. When they reached the right
place and game began to rise up and
make faces all round them they looked
for the gun, but it WAS gone. There
was no object in tarrying long without
a weapon as they had no salt and no
snipe sack. so they took the back track.
Just before they got TO town they found
the gun in an irrigating ditch. where
IL had fallen from the rear of the
wagon. At least that is the story they
tell, and ii is as good as any other in
view of the fact that they brought back
no game.
