WHAT IS THEIR MEssAeEA

WHAT IS THEIR MESSAGE?-A gentleman living on West Jefferson street between Fourth and Fifth ave nue, yesterday caught two carrier pige- ons that alighted near his house. One of them had a band around one of it's legs on which was stamped the number 39420 and the initials N. II. The other pigeon had lost a leg, probably the one that bore another number when its flight began. There is no knowl- edge, nCr even a. plausible speculation ss to where the birds came from.

Walbridge expects to go from Phoenix next week, to locate in Clover dale, California.

 HAS NO BIAS.--M A. Stanford who has served on the board of governors of the Water Users association fer the last year, is candidate in the Sixth district for election to the same office for the ensuing year. The re- port has gained currency that he was an Arizona canal man, or rather that that corporation has q special interest in securing his return. In discussing the matter yesterday he said the ru- nor was entirely without foundation, in fact, that his service during the last year had been entirely impartial. He showed no fayoritism in any matter by reason of canal interest CT owner ship, political craftsmanship CT neigh borhood interests, his purpose being always to further the best interests of all water users. If chosen to membsr- ship on the board of governors for am other year he will of course appreciate the honor and promises to continue his service, fairly and impartially as in the past.
