Miss Mabel Steen, whose father and
mother were killed by the collaps-

Park nineteen years ago. will visit
with her aunt, Mrs. Ida Crozier. and
friends In Kingman next month. Miss

Several gentlemen are planning the
installation OF an electric light plant in
Kingman. The cost OF light in the
business houses of the town at present
is excessive and II better light can be
had at less cost the business men
will no doubt take II up at once. An
electric light for this warm country Is
necessity and II appears to us that
our business men ought to have in
stalled one in the town years ago.
Last Tuesday one Of the best gener-
all soaking rains In the history of the
| country fell over northern Arizona.
on the mountains snow fell TO a depth
OF about a foot, but In the valleys II
rained INCREASINGLY all day and far into
the night. The benefit of this rain In
evidenced everywhere by the meadow
like appearance OF the valleys and the
rank growth of vegetation on tHe
mountain sides. Fat cattle in northern
Arizona are now assured.
Jerry CONN was assaulted in his
room In the Beale hotel Tuesday night
by a hobo he had befriended. He met
the hobo on the street and gave him a
quarter to eat on and then went to his
room. The thug evidently followed
him to the room and struck him with
heavy iron instrument. Coffin was
knocked senseless and when he came
to the man was still In the room. When
the fellow saw that Coffin was recov-
ering he decamped but was later ar
rested by Officer Templeman. Conn
was terribly bruised about the head
and It Is feared that the sight Of one
eye Is injured. The hobo has been
held to await the action OF the grand
jury.
