 once)-Lunch wagons are now prohib-
 ited from doing business on the streets
 of Douglas. Tom Griffin. who has for some /time been running Q
 lunch wagon near the corner
 of Tenth street and H. avenue was
 on Friday fined $20 by Judge Jolnson
 for obstructing the streets. The case
 had attracted considerable attention.
 being regarded as a test case brougt
 up, it is said by the instigat ton of res
 taurant proprietors who pay rent and
 taxes and do not like the competition
 of those pay neither. The first trial resulted in no verdict, the jury being unable to agree, and the case was call
 ed for a second time, resulting in the
 above verdict. Some merchants have
 been placing their wares on tables on
 the streets. It is said that they will
 be ordered to remove such tables and
 that the law on that point will be rig idly enforced.
 The young ladies comprising the
 Fortnightly club of Douglas have. ac cording to reports, put themselves on record as being very philanthropic. At their last meeting it is said that they decided to show their friendly feeling for Douglas young men belonging to the Thirteenth club and to the EDicur can club. With true feminine instinct they hit upon an admirable plan. They decided to initiate a mending bee for the benefit of the boys. A beginning is
 to be made on the Epicurean club. first on the list coming the young man
 whose name is first in alphabetical or der and so on. Should this be done
 Dr. Armstrong of the Epicurean cluD would be the first one entitled to have
 his clothes mended. and it is caid that he is getting his raiment ready to send to the mending bee. Both clubs are willing to be put on record as being ] friendly to the Fortnightly club, which is composed of the young and beauti ful ladies of this city. furthermore they appreciate this spirit For they have no mothers or wives here to mend their clothes, and the laundries return the clothes washed but not mended. These young ladies are to be com | mendei for their spirit and unselfish-
 ness. They rightly thought that they might just as we'll have a club as the 1 boys and after their club Was started 1 1t should have a plan
 Captain Tom Rynning of tho Arizona rangers was recently presented with a beautiful gold watch by the Morenci and Clifton mining companies in re- l cognition of his brave and effective
 work in connection with the recent
 strike at those points. The Captain Is | very modest about the part he per | formed during the trouble saving that | he did not consider that he did any . more than the members of his force i who were present. He said that they i did their duty. also. and that he and hIs
 men were simply representing the ter ritorv of Arizona when they performed their brave act. From other sources it ! is learned that very few persons know what presence of mind the Captain ex- i hibited in that trying moment. Three | fingered Jack a RoImanian who was tn" leader of the strikers. was sar- rounded by his followers. all armed. when the rangers headed by Captain Rynning pulled his gun saying: :" lar tain stepped up to Tnree-fngereG Jack in order to arrest him, when the i latter warned him away. You can't arrest me" said he. All 1 have to do ! is to lift my hat. which is the signal
 for blowing up the mines and concen- | trators. and for the slaughter of the rangers deputies, and other officers. and all of the rest of the whites in town" Without a moments hesitation RynninE pulled his gun sayging: T ar rest you" The disturbance was thus 1 quelled, while had the Captain hesitat- i ed the loss of life and the destruction l of property would undoubtedly have been something appalling. The watch ! is a Waltham movement. mounted in solid gold case with a monogram on
 the back studded with diamonds. The ! letters T. H. R. are interwoven in 1 | design that is a perfect beauty. Tom says he thinks he will permit his men each to wear the watch one week. as'
 he considers his men just as deserving as he. This Three fingered Jack had
 his men in fine training. They were we'll drilled, nine companies. two hun- cred in each company.
