 A great many people do not seem to be aware that it takes a two-cent stamp for a drop letter in places where the carrier system is in vogue. DoZ- ems of letters are put into the post office and letter boxes in Prescott with only one cent stamps on them. This causes the mail carriers and post master considerable trouble as they are compelled to collect one cent from the recipient of the letter before it can be delivered. Don't forget that it takes two cents for all letters mailed in Prescott.
 In addition to the heretofore an bounced features of the grand ball to be given by the local aerie of Eagles. they have decided to present the union labor banners which were woB by the McCabe and Poland miners unions for the largest representations in the grand parade during the carni- val in December The banners were purchased in the east by MT. Archer and sent to Prescott and are said to be very handsome. Representatives present from the above unions have been invited to be present at the grand ball to receive the we'll earned banners This will undoubtedly be a big feature in bringing in a large delegation from these places to attend the ball.
 Deputy Sheriff F. l.. Noble, of Ash Fork, came down last night with a misdemeanor prisoner who will board with Sheriff Roberts for the next sixty days. MT.

No ble had been watching for Dougherty ever since the escape and had a good description of his man, so when he showed up in Ash Fork few days ago he was taken in out of the storm. He strongly protested his innocense at l first but when he saw the game was up and he would have to go back to l Albuquerque anyway, he acknowl- | edged that he was the man. An off | cer arrived from Albuquerque as soon l as possible after the capture and took | his man back to serve out his sen tence The capture was an important | one as the fellow was a pretty tough | character and good reward had been | offered for his recapture.
