 DEATH OF A CHILr.-News was received here yesterday of the death of Norma. the sevenyear- daughter of MT. and Mrs. Reed. at their home in California. Mrs. Reed will be re- membered Miss Carrie Frakes. daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. w. Frakes of this city, and when the little girl was but a couple oi years old she spent several months here with her mother. There are many in Phoenix who during that time learned to love the child, for she vas an unusually bright little girl, pretty. and of a pleas ing and affectionate disposition. Her grandparents here feel deeply bereaved as the little girl was the idol of their hearts. Mrs. Reed and children went to Los Angeles for visit and while there Norma contracted diphtheria. Returning home. she was given the best medical attention, but to no avail. She had suffered a previous attack of the same disease. which had left her throat peculiarly susceptible to the in- roads of a second attack. Another sad circumstance in connection with the incident is the fact that Mr Reed. who is mining engineer. was away from home when the little one passed away
 A JOURNEY TO NOWHERE.-A gentleman who came in yesterday from the Arizona Falls station of the Phoe- nix Light and Fuel company brings the story of an incident that has doubtless cured the principal actor of the Good Samaritan habit The only sad part of the story is that no one seems to know the identity of the two men interested. Sunday night a man who is believed to live either in Tempe or the upper end of the valley came to Phoenix and got gloriouSly drunk. When it came time to go home he was too far gone to trust himself with pair of lines. A stranger who seemed to have considerable time on his hands volunteered to drive him home if the intoxicated man would give the general directions necessary to reach his ranch. This was snap and bargain was quickly made. They travelled in an easterly direction until they reached point somewhere In the- vicinity of the red bCttes, in one of which the famous Hole-in- the Rock is situated. Arriving there the owner of the team stopped the driver and told him his ranch was not far away He ordered him to unhitch and take tbe harness off the horses. which would then follow him to the well or spring CT wherever they were wont to drink He did so and laid down in the wagon. The horses and their master started down sand wash and were soon lost to view in the darkness. When day light came the driver found himself alone on the desert with a wagon and harness and no horses. What became of him has not been learned, but some time during the early morning hours the owner of the team showed up at the power house. where he laid down in the shade and refreshed himself with d good long sleep.
