A. DANGEROUS DoG.-The man
that keeps the waffle wagon at Five
Points is the only citizen who felt
really safe from Halloween spooks on
Saturday night. He owns dog, noted
for it's Viciousness or at least for its
vicious appearance. Saturday night
he thought was the one grand oppor-
tunity for demonstrating the value OF
the dog. He was fearful that while
he was serving good things to eat in
some of the nearby places the spcoks
might turn things upside down on the
waffle wagon so ne tied his bad dog
up to 1t with big chain that no Ghost
would venture to take issue with him.
Confidence was further inspired by the
fact that Policeman Mcdonald was
within easy hailing distance. In due
time the waffle man was called upon
to fill an order and deliver it, He did
so and when he returned the dog was
not only gone but his liberator had
stolen the chain. Inquiry was made
of the vigilant officer who crossed has
heart and swore he had seen nobody
thereabout. The waffle man is now
willing to accept the loss of the valu-
able watch dog without d murmur IL
the thief will only bring back the
chain.
SYLVESTER M'CLlNTOCK DEAD.
Sylvester MClintock, aged 80 years,
is dead. Mr.. M'Clntock was the father
of Frank M'Clintock, of this city and
was committed to the asylum short
time ago. He formerly lived in the
mountains on Pinto Creek, ella county,
and was engaged in raising horses. He
had been rather peculiar for a long
time and insisted on living alone at his
camp, which had few conveniences and
little protection from the weather. He
was stricken with paralysis last spring
and in April was brought to Phoenix
where he lived with his son till he
became menace to the safety of him
self and others and it bcame necessary
to place him in the asylum. The fun
erai was held yesterday afternoon, at
3 o'clock and interment was at the
Crosscut cemetery.
BOARD OF TRADE-Further adj
ditions were made Saturday to the
board of trade fruit exhibit. w. II.
Wilkey of Glendale brought in some
l<eifers pears that were about the big
gest thing of the kind that ever came
to town. They were so large it re-
quired the biggest Jar IN the house to
take them through the opening at the
top when the secretary put them in
pickle and there was no other jar that
would hold more than two of them.
even if they would have gone in. ].
w. Stewart of Tempe, also brought IN
an apple exhibit that is worthy of mem
ton especially as this has not been
considered an apple country. There
were three varieties and all were nice
specimens though unfortunately MI
Stewart did not know the names of
them.
A DAY WITH NhTURE.-Bob Hud
scl and two or three companions
spent yesterday down the river COM
muning with nature. incidentally the
party took along some fish lines and
shctguns and brought home with them
enough nature TO last all week. Bob
showed up at the city hall with a fine
sackfull of catfish. and today he vii
take the sacks job away from it. He
had two little catfish, too small TO
eat, that he placed in the city fouu-
tain just to show the winter visitors
that Arizona has the real thing. He
alsc brought home dead kinSfsher
that he proposes to stuff and hang on
his vail as a patron saint. He claims
the party slew forty three ducks, but
he was too wise to bring them to the
city hall. He is also honest enough
to admit that there were hundreds of
ducks they did not shoot. He says
they were so thick they couldn't all
get out of range, and all man had
to do was TO pull the trigger.
