 A WILD RIDE.-Two boys had a wild ride on South Center street Wednesday. A milk wagon stopped in front of a residence, and while the driver was busy in the house two boys climbed into it and then on top of it. About that time the team took fright and started off on a run. One of the boys made an early jump for safety. but the other tarried till it seemed too late to jump without breaking his neck. The wagon was brought to a standstill by colliding with a tree and the lad on the top turned triple somersault, alighting on his feet and without in jury.
 ROBBERY AT PROVIDENCE Agent Hazeldine of the P. and E. rail- road at Providence was the victim Tuesday night of an $500 robbery. says the JOurnal-Miner. MT. Hazeldine oc . cupies a room in the depot building, where he sleeps. He has been in the habit of using a trunk in this room for banking purposes. and last night when he went to his supper between and s o'clock this bank contained deposits of $500. Of this amount $7OO was his per sonal funds and $100 belonged to the railroad company. On his return from supper he founL his trunk broken open and the money, which was nearly all gold, had vanished. He immediately notified the sheriff's office of his loss, but was unable to give any clew to follow whereby the robbers might be identified.
 OLD SETTLERS REUNION.-The first reunion of the old settlers of the valley was held yesterday on the lawn of the residence of MT. and Mrs. Neils Peterson of Tempe. By "the old set tlers' are meant those who have re- sided in the vicinity of Tempe sixteen years or those who have settled in that country not later than 1886. That seems a very long time in this country not because time passes more slowly here than it does anywhere else but because so many things have hap pened here in sixteen years that the beginning of the period seems far away. The reunion was well attended and there was an interesting pro- gramme. Among those who attended from this side of the river were Gov ernor and Mrs. Brodie and Major Me Clintock. who was a pioneer in the Tempe country. helped lay out the roads and establish the school districts before there were any children to att tend the schools or many persons to travel between the termini of the roads.
 THE THIRD FIRE.-The third fire oi the series beginning at l o'clock Wednesday morning occurred about 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning, when an alarm was sounded by Constable Gonzales firing three shots in the air. The fire was the Magnani saloon. on the north side of Cleveland street, east of Seventh, and nearly opposite the Redlight. It had been closed for an hour, and there seems to be no reason able theory regarding the origin of the fire. So far as known nobody was in the building at the time. The build ing and its contents were a total loss, as no one saw the fire till it had ad- vanced so far that the building could net be entered. There was small in surance on the building. The fire de- partment responded promptly, but had to lay hose for nearly three blocks, so all that could be done was to pro- tect adjoining property. Strange as it may seem, it appears that usually when there is one fire alarm in Phoe- nix two others follow in quick sue cession, till the public has come to expect fires in series of three. There are some exceptions to the rule, as there are to all rules, but they are very few, and the only exception of which there is substantial proof occurred not a great while ago, when a certain Phoe- nix man bet $10 after a fire that there would be two more in a shcrt time. To have a cinch on his wager he gave himselef a week in which to win out. thinking surely there would be two more alarms within week. But there were none.
