 POLICE RECORDING Mexicans were arrested Saturday night for fight ing and disorderly conduct and one Mexican woman was arrested for hay ing a reputation that would not stand the test of the latest moral require ments of the city.
 A GREAT BIG BOY.-Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ward. guests of the Alamo, were made exceedingly happy late Saturday night by the arrival of a fine big son. No scale was al hand but good judges give the young man a twelve-pound rating and the fathers weight is in- creasing every hour. It is the first male heir in the family and is therefore a great novelty.
 THE A. D. T. UNION.-The annual meeting of the Phoenix branch of the A. D. T. union will be held in this city next Sunday. It would have been held earlier, but all the principal officers have been out of the city during the summer. President McFall returned yesterday and Secretary Eddie Webster. who has been on the coast for several weeks, is expected to return day after tomorrow.
 A SUMMER OUTING.-George Me Fall and his son Dallas returned yes terday morning from an outing of sev- eral weeks in the Mongollons and Tonto Basin. During the earlier part of their stay the country was quite dry, but q couple of weeks ago the rains set in, and the mountains and valleys are al ready covered with what is known as "six weeks grass and the cattle have already got fat. The two excursionists found game abundant, and altogether they had good time. which they will repeat next summer.
 A CHICAGO VISITOR.-Alex. J. Jones of Chicago was a Phoenix visi- tor yesterday, being en route home from a business trip to California MT. Jones is an attorney and is also a mem- Der of the board Of directors of the Chicago drainage canal and quite prom inent in Chicago politics, representing one district in the state legislature He is a brother of Wiley E. Jones of Graham county, well known all over Arizona, and his stop in Arizona is par ticularly to pay him a visit. He spent a day in Phoenix to meet and get ac- quainted with E. s. Russell, the two men having a very intimate mutual friend in Chicago.
 IT RAINED.-The Republican has been prophecying rain all summer, so it was no surprise when a glorious one began early yesterday morning. The only trouble with it was that it did not begin early enough in the morn ing or last late enc Igh in the day, but there was an hoC or two of pretty sloppy weather ju5t before daylight Tn fact, enough water fell so it stood in little puddles by the roadside all day long, and the streets were quite muddy in the forenoon. But it must not be understood that the rain was general country. Indeed, it was eXasperatingly local It did not Seach half way to Tempe, and just far enough west to take in Joe Monihon's ranch, showing conclusively that his pull is recognized. It was Phoenix turn for rain, as it had rained everywhere else in the world since it rained here, and while q general rain is desirable, it was a recognition of Phoenix special claim.
