 SAW SNAKE DANCE.-Mr. and Mrs J. w. Cloverdale of Phoenix have ar rived in town on their overland trip through the territory, says the Winslow Mail. They left Phoenix June 17th, and since then have visited all the sights of interest in northern Arizona. They were present at the snake dance, which experience they declare to be worth more than all the trouble of the whole trip. and from there went south to the petrified forest, continuing in that di- rection as far as Fort Apache.

Both of them took a change of venue from Justice Gray's court. Scott was not to blame, and he was discharged. Serrano pre- pared to make an Elaborate defense.

 POLICE COURT.-John Avalon was in the police court yesterday charged with being drunk and disorderly.

Eugene was duly penitent, though, and expressed a hope that some day he would get some sense into his head and learn better than to do these things. John Doe was sentenced to pay a fine of $15 or serve fifteen days, his offense being a relapse into drunkenness from for
