AN INDIAN EXCURSION.-C. E.

via the northern route. having in
charge twenty Indian children. pupils
of the Phoenix school transferred to
the Albuquerque school.
SKIPPED.-A Tucson man by the
name of w. Weston collected all the
money due the firm of Whittle & Wes-
ton that he could get hold of and left
town between two days. His partner
returned from the coast and took
charge of what was left of the bust
ness.
A SLOW RECOVERABLE. Stroud
has returned from Iron Springs. where
he took NJ. J. Galpin, who is not recov-
ering very rapidly from the effect of
the shock he received by an electric
wire a week ago last night. 1t will be
some time before his normal nervous
condition is restored.
A REBROKEN LEG.-About a
month ago little boy by the name of
Cotton had leg broken by one of the
swings at the park. The bone knit well
and the boy was soon able to be about
on crutches. Last Friday he fell and
broke the leg again. SO that the frac-
ture is worse now than it was origin

HELPING a GOOD CAUSE.-W. D.
Fulwiler yesterday received a check
Tor fifty dollars from r. Allyn Lewis

built soon. and now an enterprsing
editor announces that he will start a
daily paper there. Thus does the old
become new.
CHEAP HATS.-As a general thing
it does not pay to buy cheap goods. no
matter how nice they look Eight
brokers, lawyers and spectators who
office in Wall street went to Prescott
last week and bought all the hats there
were in that town of a certain kind.
They are made of pasteboard and COW
cred with plaid outing flannel. conse-
quently being very attractive. The
hats only cost twenty cents each CIR
ig;nally. but it cost their owners sl.50
each to wet them.
RAIN.-The elements are working
themselves into rain frenzy just as
fast as they can. and it is now appar-
ent that every day brings this valley
twenty-four hours nearer to a good
soaking. a very strenuous sand storm
prevailed all last evening and it was
the opinion of most folks that it would
be followed by big rain. Only a very

an improvement on former efforts and
new hopes were born of the few re-

A NOCTURNAL VISITOR.-For the
