 A PROTEST.-The boys composing the Hail Columbia band, or at least a couple of them called at this office yes terday to explain that the write-up of their Fourth of July excursion to the Hole-in-the- Rock, handed in to The Republican and printed. did not ema- rate from them. They feel about the matter just as The Republican staff does, that girl on picnic should put in all her time being looked at and not waste any of it in cooking. They are inclined to believe that some of the girls that accompanied them wrote the article, but for fear the girls may be around today to offer further protest, it is announced that in all robability the boys, girls and Republican have all been imposed on and that the article was most likely written by some sorry PCISOli NllO NdSh DA'ilO0 lO NbE PiNihN at all.

 l HUNTING A HORSE-Among the passengers on the Cave Creek stage which arrived yesterday was Tommy Mercer. He had a saddle ard bridle with him but the horse was conspicu- | ously absent. MT. Mercer left here three or four days ago on trip to the northern part of this county ard the southern part of Yavapai on cattle bus ] mess and expected to be gone for some weeks. He stopped at Cave Creek on | Sunday night to see one of the fair daughters of that locality. whom he expects he will some time not have tc go so far to see. In the course of the | the picket. which Mr Mercer in the excitement of the moment. may not have made as secure as he would have | made it in other circumstances. But any how that is all idle conjecture; the main thing is that the horse was gone and MT. Mercer is here to see if he can find any trace O. it.
 A CLOSED INCIDENT.-A contem- porary has taken occasion to handle | Chauncey D. Clarke of Peoria Arizona rather roughly, in view oi the fact that | the text of the effusion was an incl l dent that has occurred since MT. Clarke went abroad, an incident of which tc | this good hour he knows nothing. The | article is the aftermath of an episode pertaining to the use of water raised l by a pump and windmill on the Clarke ranch and which water has been kind | ly furnished to various r,eighbors 1 Friction arose between certain of these | water users as to whether or not il was being wasted. question that wa: | finally settled in court and which The Republican does rot care to again re. fer to.
