 MIR. STEPHEN -ACK-Bernhard Huelmantel Steffen returned last eve ming from San Francisco, where he went two or three weeks ago to visit relatives. He came from Ash Fork on the freight, not wishing to remain away from this valley one minute longer than he could help. He came here several years ago on account of asthma, and when he left here a few weeks ago there was no indication that he had ever been/sicb a day in his life. But he had not been in San Francisco two hours till it was necessary to send for a doctor. He did not have a nights rest during his stay t9ere and is con- sequently very glad to be in Phoenix 9gain
 GUY BENEFITS WILL-The VIII of the late Guy Bennett was filed in probate court yesterday, and in it his sons-in-law, F. J. Bennitt and D. M Barringer, are named as executors. The will disposes of property valued at about $50,0O0, consisting for the most part of a ranch in Yavapai county and city property in Phoenix The will provides, in the first place, for the payment of the debts of the testator. and then leaves the bulk of the re- maining property to the widow The children, however, are remembered. Each one is curiousIy bequeathed some article of personal property, for in stance, a horse, a watch, or some oil silver, and after that there is more valuable gift of real estate.
 GREAT JUDGMENT-Ed Lightaer is one of the shortest men in town, but he has the longest head of any mall in Arizona, or, perhaps. in the world. He bet that Missouri would go republican,. and he got the money, ten dollars for three placed iu jeopardy. And yet there are people who say there is nothing in a "hunch." Of cours- the wager was something like a bee tnct there would be sleighing in Ph.cl:;x in July, but that made no difference to Mr. Lightner, who always placed con- 1idence in the goddess of fortune. and when She whispers in his ear it' sounds Just like law to him. There is no ex- cuse for a man like MT Lightner being poor. He might just as wel nave made fortune as ten dollars and no doubt he would have done so only for fear of being summed as a 2lutocrat.
 
 night some party or parties perpeA trated a very sepulchraI joke. or else the most solemn sort of a misdemeanor possible. They stole two gravestones from Legier's marble yard at the cor ner of Third avenue and Washington street. One gentleman reports that or election night he saw one of the monu-' ments lying on the sidewalk near the second ward polling place. bearing a hastily imprOvised legend that "the demC-ratic party is dead" When MT Legier heard this he thought the inci- dent was intended for a joke, and that in due time the stones would be re- turned. But it was no joke. for the sacred tablets are still missing, and, besides the democratic party is not dead, locally at least. It has only been killed three times, and, like its emblem in this part of the country. a cat, 1t still mas six lives to the good. And the sravestones stand MT. Legier out at least S30 to say nothing of mental depression. If the incident was intend ed as a joke he would like to have the property returned and the joke ex- plained.
 NU"OST EVlCTED-Yesterday ar- ternoon Harry Friedman was in the rear of his pawnbroking establishment when he heard the ringing of an alarm bell which he keeps to notify him of the approach of customers and sneak thieves. He hurried to the front and found a husky looking individual in front of his big safe, in which he keeps his more valuable diamonds, spectacles and saddles. The stranger lcarelessly observed the coming of MT Friedman upon the scene, but, taking hold of the safe, tried to shake it. He remarked, partly to himself and partly to MT. Friedman, who seemed to have some proprietary interest about the place: "Thisll be one hell of a job" Mr. Friedman asked him what he had in mind. The stranger replied that he was about to move the safe, but he was not quite sure how he would go about it. This looked to MT. Friedman like the bOldest attempt at burglary that had ever come within the range of his vision and he demanded an ex- planation. Finally the visitor told him that he had been sent there by a trans fer company to see about moving the safe. It turned out that he had mis- taken the place of MT. Friedman for the store of a ieUaIpr of toa same r,ar,a
