Lawn Tennis Champions.

The tennis court was visited by quite a number of people this after noon to witness the championship games between the PheniX and Pres colt teams. E. Bennett and H. W. Hall arrived from PheniX this morn ing to represent the PheniX tennis club. For several days the Prescott players have been holding a tourna- ment to determine who would meet the visitors, and day or two ago the contest had narrowed down to Guy Bailey, of the Bank of Arizona, and Dr. F. M. MetZgar, and the contest between them resulted in a victory for Mir. Bailey. In the double team game Bennett and Hall played for Phenix and Richard Lamson and Earl San ford for Prescott. In the single team Bennett played for Phenix and Lam son for Prescott. The game was called at go.
 The first match was beween Lamson, of Prescott, and Bennett, of Iron Springs, and was won by the former by a score of 6 to in the first set and 6 to 3 in the second set.

Singular Accident.

T. 5. Carter arrived in town on Sundays train from Kirkland, bring ing his wife here for medical treat ment, for injuries received last Satur- day in a storm, which visited the Walnut Grove section.
 MT. Carter said it was the worst storm and heaviest rain that had ever visited that section. Mrs. Carter and one of the children had been visiting across the creek from their home, and fearing a rise in the stream which would prevent their crossing they started home in the storm. There was just one lone tree alongisde the road on the entire trip home, and just as they drove under that, a limb broke, falling on Mrs. Carter's head, cutting a great gash in the scalp, the loosened portion of which dropped down over her forehead. Her son dressed the wound as best he could and then hastened to Kirkland, where MT. Carter was and he brought her to town as stated above. She is getting along very nicely now, although sev- eral stitches had to be taken in the scalp.

Courageous Carrigan.

Tom Carrigan was the hero of the National Capital last Saturday. Mir. Carrigan is the pooh bah of the Con- gress railroad. He is superintendent of the road, conductor and brakeman of the train, train master of the road, train master and dispatcher, road master, section boss, and section hand. To fill all of these positions acceptably is naturally somewhat strenuous so he hied him off the other day on vacation, and brought up in Washington on Saturday afternoon. Something happened almost simultsn- eously with his arrival there, which was told in a special telegram to the Phenix Republican on Sunday, and here it is:
 "Tom Carrigan of Congress, Ariz., arrived in Washington today and went to the Hotel Regent. Within five minutes of the time he registered the hotel was in blaze, and the guests barely escaped with their lives.
 ''Mr. Carrigan prevented two ladies from jumping from sixth story win dow and also saved their diamonds which they were ready to abandon. He is the guest of the city tonight and the papers devote columns to his exploit.

LABOR DAY
 AT NCCABE

The celebration of Labor Day at McCabe was a grand success. There is said to have been nearly 20O0 people at that camp, and not thing happen ed during the day to mar the pleasure Of the occasion. There were a great many went from Prescott, some driv- ing over and some going on the train. The Eagles band was there in all its glory and it is said they made fine impression with the people of that part of the county.
 The oration of the day was delivered by Hon. Henry Ashurst, of Williams, and the address was one of exceptional brilliancy and was we'll received.
 There was a parade of laboring peo- pie in which about 300 people partici pated. The miners unions from Walk CT, Poland and McCabe and the typo graphical union of Prescott were in line.
 The barbecue was pronounced to have been one of the best ever given in this county. An abundance of fine meat was provided for everyone, and it had been cooked all the night pre- vious and was in splendid shape.
 The ball game between Prescott and Iron King resulted in terrible disaster to the Prescott boys. It is reported that something over S6OO was lost by Prescott people. The score was 3i to II in favor of Iron King.
 The miners drilling contests attract ed great deal of attention, and were really the greatest attraction of the day.
 In the double handed contests the following teams took part:
 Taylor and Mccarthy, of McCabe, drilling 23 1-2 inches.
 O'Brien and Lesure, also of Me Cabe, 21 inches.
 Cole and Ryan, of Iron King, win ming first money with 29 IS inches.
 Dalt and Mcdonald, of Walker. win ming second money with 26 l2 inches.
 In the single handed drills Cloe of Iron King, won first money with hole l5 l2 inches deep.
 There were several foot races and minor events which helped to make up day of great sport.
 The people of McCabe are deserving of great credit for the manner in which they handled the occasion and the complete success which crowned their efforts.

their son, Lieut.. Douglas MacArtbur, accompanied by Colonel West, one of Gen. MacArthur's staff, arrived in Prescott yesterday afternoon on a spe- cial train which had been sent to Ash Fork to meet them. They had accom- panied F.M. Murphy from California, coming in his special car. When they arrived at Ash Fork last week he ten dered them the use of his car to visit the Grand Canyon, Mir. Murphy com ing on to Prescott. They were the guests of MT. Murphy in Prescott and were driven about the city and vicin- ity until this morning, when MT. Murphy again rendered them the use of his private car to return to San Diego and San Francisco. They were delighted with Prescott and the kind ly manner in which they were re- ceived and entertained.
 Lieut.. Macarthur only recently graduated at West Point, carrying away the honors of his class.
 Owing to the limited time in which these distinguished guests could re- main in the city, many of our people were denied the pleasure of meeting them. The general paid visit to Whipple while here.

derrick, formerly in position in the
 railroad yards in Prescott has been
 moved to Mayer and is used in load
 ing the cars. The company is com
 posed of capitalists from London, New
 York and Denver and is said to be a very strong corporation and will work the property vigorously. The pres ent shipments which are being made are largely experimental, as it is the intention of the company to erect a plant at Mayer for cutting and polish ing the marble, the ground for this purpose having been already pur- chased from Joe Mayer. Under the new control and management, the onyx industry promises to become a very prominent one. The purchase, on which the payment of 5000 was made yesterday, was of the property formerly purchased by Congressman Fowler, of New Jersey, and his asso- ciates, being that of the original onyx locations. The same company has also purchased the claims owned by Dan Bowen, which virtually gives hem entire control of the entire onyx field at Mayer.

Mir.
