He Ate His Full Dinner and Cnugm
the stage as Well.
Charles Stuart, one time senator from
Michigan, was travelling by stag,
through his own state. The weather
was bitterly cold. the snow deep. tn,
roads practically unbroken. The stage
was nearly one hour late at the dinner
station, everybody was more or less
cross and In hurry and the situation
uncomfortable to the last degree.
Senator Stuart sat down to his din
ner with his usual deliberatlon, not
withstandlng the word that was pass
ed around, Fifteen minutes for re
freshments."
When he had finished his first cup OF
coffee the passengers were leaving tn.
table. BY the time the second cup ar
rived the stage was at the door. al
aboard" shouted the driver. The sen
ator fingered and called for third CUP
of coffee. The crowd laughed and
flung back chaff at the deliberate mar
at the table.
While the household. as was the Gus
tom, assembled at the door to see the
stage drive away, the senator contin
ued calmly drinking his coffee. Sud
denly, just as the stage started, there
was violent pounding on the dining
room table, and the landlord hurried
in, to find that the senator wanted o
ulsh of rice pudding. When 1t came
he called for a spoon, but there wasn't
a spoon to be found.
THAT shock headed fellow took 'em
l thought he was crookr' exclaimed
the landlady.
The landlord jumped at the same
conclusion.
"Hustle after that stage; bring EN-
oil back" he shouted 10 the sheriff
who was untying his horse from the
rail in front of the tavern.
A few monutes later the stage, In
charge of the sheriff, swung around in
front of the house. The driver was in
a fury.
"Search them passengersr' yelled the
landlord.
But before the officer could move the
senator opened the stage door. stepped
inside, then leaned out. touched the
sheriffs arm and whispered
"Tell the landlord he'll find his
spoons in the coffeepot. Boston Post

color of my country" The optician
proceeded at once to the admiralty,
there ascertained the colors of the
Haytian flag. and then manufactured a
scarlet and green eye, which he for
warded.-EXchange.

THE NEWS OF TUCSON
 AND OF PIMA COUNTY

Colonel Epes Randolph, who is in California, was quite ill for several days this week, but he has improved rapidly and is again able to attend to business.
 J. Knox Corbett, postmaster at Tucson, has received a second appli- cation for additional information re- garding the advisability of the erec- tion of government building at Tue son, which leads him to believe that there is strong probability of the next congress making au appropria- tion for that purpose. Tucson Post.
 What promises to be one of the most Interesting legal proceedings in the history of the territory, was lnsti. tuted when Judge $. W. Purcell filed with the board of supervisors docu. ment which, in substance asks the board to declare the recently defeated candidates for justice of the peace and constable on the democratic ticket duly elected, giving the city four jus tices and four constables, two of each in each of the two precincts of 5he city. Judge Purcell's argument, in a nutshell, is that each of the two pre- cincts of this city has population of over 5000, and under the revised stat. utes should accordingly be entitled to four justices and four constables; and as the election to these offices should fall to those candidates having the largest number of votes the defeated democratic candidates for these of. fees should be duly declared elected by the board Citizen.

 Fire in the basement of the Bank of Arizona building, used by A. Blum- berg Of the New Ycrkstore as store room for m .ttr-ssss, on the nj .,ht of Nov. g, did considerable dimage. The suppoSition generally is that the mattresses were ignited from the fur mace and being made of com mbus tlble material, together with the furnace being well fired up, the coal and other articles also became necessarily ignit- ed. The fire department responded promptly and for nearly an hour the willing boys of two hose companies fought industriously to conquer. Johnny Robinson and J. R. Datson, two nervy young men, were lowered into the burning furnace, in the face of suifocating smoke, and both had narrow escape from death.
 The grand jury examined thirty-two criminal charges and returned twenty two indictments and ignored ten charges. The report was signed by George r. Harrington, foreman, and Il. c. Burmister, clerk. Contrary to expectations the report of the con- mittee which spent several days in the examination of the treasurer's of. flee submitted rather brief report. In reference to the reported robbery they reported that sufficient evidence had been obtained to warrant bring ing it before the grand jury and rec commended that the following wit nesses be cited for examination: A. J. Head, Ed Wright, J. L. Muuds, D. D. Mcdonald, s. A. Prince and c. P. Hicks. They found that pernicious system has prevailed of accepting and holding checks in the office for mon ths and recommended that the system be abolished. The committee consisted of George w. Sines, C.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED
 IN GRAHAM COUNTY
From the Clifton Era:

From the Clifton Era:
 The right of way man for the South. ern Pacific railway has been spending the week in this section, which leads to the suppOsitiOn that the proposed extension of that road into this field will soon be announced.
 Jake Abraham is arranging for a Christmas tree for the fOundlings re- gently left here by Agent Swayne of the New York Founding association. Jake never does things by halves, and in this instance he will excell all prev. ious records.
 The possibilities of new blood in the Shannon company, together with re- cent developments in the railroad sit. ution, has had the effect of booming realty values in Clifton very mater. iaily. Clifton realty is all right whether these good things material. ize or not. Property values have doubled in the past two years.
 Arrangements are now being made to have big Christmas tree at the South Clifton school house, for all the children in town. Henry Hill started the ball rolling last week by subscrib- ing $50, and was also instrumental in securing about $250, which will be add ed to by others until it will reach a sum of about $500, which it is thought will be ample to buy presents for about all the children in town.
