torneys J. NJ. Jamison and Paul Ingles
left this morning for Prescott to
attend the suit of Axel w. Hallenborg
against w. c. Greene and others in his
application for a receiver for the Cobre
Grande company. which will shortly
come up before Judge S.oan. This is
the suit of which mention was made
in New York dispatch printed in The
Republican yesterday. 1t was errone-
ously stated in that dispatch that
New York attorney was on his way to
Phoenix to make application for the
appointment of a receiver. AS a matter
of fact the application had already been
made at Prescott. Messrs. Jamison and
Ingles represent the applicant. Mr.. L.
H. Chalmers and Messrs. Baker and
Bennett. who are already at Prescott.
are on the other side.
BOYS LOCATED.-Marshal Kinney
received letter yesterday from con-
stable in San Bernardino, saying he
had two boys, Alfred Coy and Jesse
Garner. in Jail on the charge of vag-
rancy. They told him they were from
Phoenix, where they had friends, and
he desired to prove their story. The
two boys named left here contempora-
tent show three months ago. and fc.- 6.
time it was believed they had followed
it away. Before leaving they secured
wheels OF H. S. Griswold. and they
went by the northern route. as one of
the wheels was sold in Wickenburg.
Alfred's father resides in the country
near here. and after the departure of
the boys. who are only about fourteen
years old, he settled with Mr. Griswold
for the wheel taken by his son. The
marshal will advise Mr.. Coy of his
sons whereabouts. and the boys. no
doubt having had their fun roughinS
it. will be glad to return home.
TO BE DONE ALL OVER AGAIN
few days ago the weather observer
of The Republican, and any one may
observe the weather. announced to the
anxious people of this vicinity that the
summer rains were at hand. That pre-
dictiCn was based on the steady
growth of the thunder heads
They continued tc increase just as
the weather observer said they would
up to certain point. and then they
stopped, went back and finally disap-
peared altogether All the time the
humidity of this neighborhood kepe in
creasing. until day before yesterday il
had risen to AZ per cent. Yesterday it
dropped back to "a per cent. and it
looked as if the annual rainy season
had been postponed until the Summe.
of 1909. But in the afternoon the thun-
der heads began to come to the surface
again, and now they arc about at the
same stage of development they were
week ago. 1t is now hoped, but not
predicted, that something will come OF
them.
