Arizona republican., 1903-02-20


 West Washington street near Third avenue yesterday evening. He was overtaken by a runaway horse which | its owner, a MT. Mcclellan, was trying to hold. The boy was riding on bi- cycle. The wheel was torn to pieces and the boy was left helpless in the street. He was carried into a second- hand store and a doctor was called. It was found that no bones were broken but the boy was unable to walk. He was carried out to buggy and taken | to his home in the western part ot the city. The horse ran away with his owner three times in less than half an hour. The last time he made his es- cape.
 MINING NEWSPAPER NAME. J. Moore, manager of the Colorado inter- ests of the Mining and Scientific Press of San Francisco is touring the terri tory looking up new business for that journal. He arrived here yesterday morning and will probably leave for the south on tonight's train. MT. Moore is a good rustler and alive to his
 opportunities and is fortunate in rep
 resenting one of the best mining papers
 in the world and undoubtedly the best
 one on the coast. It is devoted mainly
 to the scientific departments of the
 mining and milling industry rather
 than to "write-ups'' of various proper
 ties though it treats quite extensively
 Of the development Of mining sections
 in it's space devoted to correspondence. | A MINIATURE PLUCKING-At the
 exhibition pens of the ostrich farm
 this afternoon at o'clock will occur what the managers have been pleased
 to call miniature plucking. It will
 be the first plucking of the birds han
 dled which will be the six months old
 chicks. There are likely to be some
 ludicrous incidents as it will be the
 first handling of the chicks which are
 wild, impulsive and will make a dem
 onstrative resistance. The crop of feathers from the chicks will be small
 and the feathers are long and more slender than feathers from older birds.
 The plucking is necessary though not
 only to save this first crop of feathers
 but to put the birds in proper form for
 the subsequent growth of more valu
 able feathers.
 MATINEE RACES.-So successful
 from every point of view have been the
 free race matinees of the two preceding
 weeks that Manager Wheat of the
 driving park has decided to give an
 other entertainment of the same kind
 this afternoon or rather to permit and l participate in such an event. Every hcrseman and every horse owner in the valley is invited to be present with any sort of a steed that he desires to place on exhibition or to work out for i lis own satisfaction. Everybody else
 who enjoys horse racing is invited to | fan1 nd oil it possible Everything is free. No I charges for admission, To entry money. r no expense Of any kind. Just an lf- ternoon parade of hOrsefcsh ct a 90 as-you- please or a go-as-yOu-can gait. $ It will be one more meeting in the
 interest of horse education and the
 education of the public in the line of
 track sports.
 | DIVORCE DATA session Of the
 district court for the hearing of mat : ters growing cut of divorce suits was
 held yesterday. The first case was that
 of Nellie Wilson against w. H. Will
 son. The plaintiff decided that sine did
 not want d divorce, nor did she want , to live with her husband. What she 7 did want was to be provided for by , him. The defendant told the court that he had been providing Tor her all the , time, that is he had been paying her . blliS- The court thought it would be ; better for him to allow her a stated sum per month and suggested that he
 ought to pay her $25 a month, an at
 torney's fee of $35 and S15 in bills which had not yet been paid. Wilson was given short time to study the matter
 over. In the event that he does not
 accept the suggestion a suit for separ- ate maintenance will probably be
 brought against him. The other case
 was the Cline divorce suit in which a
 motion for the setting aside of con- munity property was heard.
