 A slight message written merely catches the eye-some ones eye-the proclamation is observed but not deeply felt. The communicative power comes from having people talk, and when they merely whispered "in the right quarter back in Leaven- worth, Kan, that Hugh Mulvenon was going to surprise his sons Wm., Al. and Austin and his daughter Mrs. NJ. Fagan,.of this city, by 'just drop ping in" it reached the quarter spoken of in time to turn the old gentlemen's $ triumph to defeat, for on Saturday the day the west bound limited was to carry the worthy Hugh irso Ash Fork Allie was there ostenibly to start a ! bank, and returned to Prescott with his father where many relatives and friends were waiting to extend greet ing. Mir. Mulvenon, Sr., admits that it is hard to surprise these Arizonans, and if he does not have something to talk about of Arizonas wonders, on his return home it will not be his sons fault.
