 MORB GRATITUDE EXPRESSED Will Mckee. whose store is adjacent to the room occupied by the late Phoe- nix restaurant, expressed his regard for the Phoenix fire department yesterday by filling the engine house partly full of choice cigars to be smoked by the members at their leisure.

 SKIPPED OUT.-Some time before the carnival man named George Long rented a team, harness and spring wagon from Mrs. William Martin of Jerome for the purpose of driving to Phoenix.
