DIED AT NEW RIVER.-Mention
was made n day or two ago of man
whose name was then unknown, and
who died suddenly at New River sta

A MEETING AFTER SEVERAL
y EARS.-A few days ago Mr.. G. L.
Smith. an artist of considerable repu-
tation. arrived in the city. Mr.. Smith is
an old friend OF Mr.. e. J. Dyer and came
to the territory with him more years
aso than Mr.. Dyer now likes to admit.
They had previously travelled together
through the eastern states and Canada
sketching. Mr.. Smith has since been
employed on the leading papers of the
country. He will spend some time in
he valley making a study OF Indian
life.
A STARTLING INCIDENTAL in
cident occurred at the plant of the
Phoenix Light & Power company yes
terday forenoon. that made at least
one man realize that the old fellow
with the scythe is liable to come at
any time and from almost any direc-
ton. This time it was straight from
above. section OF the big smoke
stack got tired of its job and struck.
1t gave but short notice and came
tumbling down through the roof of the
building. striking the floor within two
or three feet of one of the employees
of the company. one of his fellow
workers saw the stack topping just
before it fell. and called to the man in
side but he could not hear the warn
ing above the noise of the machinery.
1t is perhaps well that he did not. for
he might have jumped the wrong way.
THE WEATHER PROPHET.-He
has not yet been indicated. or at
least he had not been at the hour OF
going to press. but it seemed as if he
would be, for he predicted cold
wave OF unusual intensity for today.
At 6 o'clock in the evening there was
no sign of it. and at 10 the wind was
in the south and it was even warmer
than it had been. \ little later the
wind began to blow from the west. and
at midnight it was straight from the
north. 1t moaned through Crevices il
fences: it wasn't cold. but those Who
had read the prophecy imagine1
they could feel the cold stealing down
from the north. At O'Clock they We're
sure of it. and a they were surer. If
anything can be more sure than sure.
in spite of the grammarians who say
that such thing is impossible At tn
latest moment though the cold wave
had not come and there was no sign
of it. except the north wind, which Is !
given to blowing hot air.
CHRISTY- GREER.-Captain George /
ID. Christy and Miss Helen Greer Were I
married last night at O'Clock at the /
residence of the brides parents in the
western part of the city. Rev. DR.. Nc |
Afee OBLIGATED. and only the immediate |
relative of the contracting parties |

" arranged without ostentation or dis I
play. The bride is most estimable |

THE COYOTE HUNT.-The much
advertised coyote hunt in the neighbor-
hood north of Glendale, came off yes
terday afternoon. The first returns
were brought in last night. 1t cannot
be said that they We're vague or indeh-
mite but that they We're contradictory. L
The number of coyotes killed range
from twenty to 200. and it was said
that there was a great mortality among
the dogs. \ good many jack rabbits
we're caught in the wash. The coyotes
we're driven together by an ever-lessen-
ing circle of horsemen. and when
enough of them were gotten into Il
COMPACT body the slaughter is said to
nave commenced. After everything in
sight had been killed, the dogs were
sent in to see what had been over
ooked. 1t was then that the real fun
IF the day began. and it was at this
period that the mortality began to set
no dogs One said
