signers and builders of the display.
Next year will be leap year, and by
the way, it will be the first one for
eight years. To those who think that
leap years jump around every four
years this may seem funny, but is a
fact. According to the Gregorian cal
endar, every year the number of
which is divisible by -four without a
remainder is leap year, except the
central years which are leap years
only when divisible by four emitting
the two ciphers. Thus 1000 was leap
year, but 100 and 1900 we're not. Elk.

W. J. Yarbourgh, a young man who
came here about seven or eight months
ago, suffering with consumption, and
who has been making his headquarters
at Biles & Shelby's store the most
of his time was found dead in his
room, last night. There was pool of
blood on the floor. While the cause
of death seemed apparent, it was
deemed bestRto hold an inquest and a
! jury was summoned by Justice Tai
/ bot, and the manner and cause of his
! death was investigated. The jury re-
turned a verdict that death was caused
by hemoTrhage from the lungs. De-
ceased was about % years old. His
remains will be shipped to his former

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Bond was raided last night short
ly after eight O'Clock. The parties
wore no masks and took Mr.. and Mrs
Bond by surprise so much that they
could make no resistance, and com
plete possession of the house was
taken and held for three or four
hours. As the unexpected visitors
were composed of ladies and gentle
men, friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Bond, a
pleasant evening was spent by all.
1t was a genuine surprise party as the
couple mad no previous intimation of
the intended visit.
There was a large attendance last
plight at the entertainment given by
the Prescott Athletic club at their
ball. There was no set programme,
but the management improvised one
which was very entertaining to those
present. There we're couple of good
natured boxing contests by the boys
in which they showed skill and activ-
I ity. There was also an exhibition be-
tween a couple of full grown boys
which was quite lively. There were a
number of other athletic exercises by
the boys and a man whose name was
not understood by the Journal-Min
man gave an exhibition of the wonder
full power he possessed in his jaws by
breaking sixty penny spike off with
his teeth. Coffee, sandwiches and
cake we're also served to the guests,
and the evening was one of genuine
enjoyment to all present.
Arthur Hendy, superintendent of
the Copper Chief mine, in the Jerome
district, is one of the best machinists
that ever came to Arizona. Mr.. Hendy
is the possessor of a fine steam auto
mobile, In its construction, the
builders did not take into considera-
ton the steep hills which its pur-
chaser would be called upon to run it
over, and Mr.. Hendy devised a more
powerful brake for it to control its
movements on a steep down grade.
In order to carry out his designs in
constructing the brake he came to
/ Prescott and is doing the work him
Hself in &. Tilton's shop. A peculiar
feature of the transaction, though, was
the fact that when he went to work on
it he found one of the machines which
be would use was made by him back
in Torrington, Connecticut, several
years ago. He will have his brake
completed in a few days.
