He pleaded guilty and was committed to jail for seven days. Harry Galbraith who was arrested for disturbing the peace of Michael Fellow was tried yesterday and committed to| jail for five days.
 A NICE CABINET-The most at tractive thing around the board o trade room yesterday, and it's there yet, was a fine cabinet of mineral specimens. placed on exhibition by Orlando Merrill of Mesa City. The col lection is a very valuable one and con
 tains specimens from many of the larger mines. It is a specimen display rather than a mineSal display for often the most valuable ores are not tr prettiest to look at. This cabinet, though, is a very ornamental feature and shows many specimens hard to du plicate.
 A PLEASING PROMOTlON.-John c. Sartelle. who has been in the em- ploy of the Santa Fe Railway com 1 pany for some years has been appoint ed southern freight and passenger i agent for that road with headquarters
 at Atlanta. Ga. MT. Sartelle is q brother-in-Iaw of w. H. and H. F.. Robinson of this city and will be re-
 membered as d former resident of
 Phoenix himself, though he left here
 many years ago. His promotion will % be good news to large number Of old
 friends.
 : PAY YOUR BOX RENT.-As nearly
 everyone knows the rent of postoffice
 boxes falls due the first of every quar-
 ter but not everyone knows that it has
 to be paid by the 10th of the month or ! the postmaster is required to close the | box and throw the mail in the general i delivery. This makes inconvenience | for the clerks and sometimes offends the box holder whose credit is good
 but who is neglectful. The officials i however. cannot play favOrites so all who have boxes will do a favor both
 to themselves and the postofice clerks by being prompt in settlement of their rentals.
 COLDEsT OF THE YEAR.-Night before last was the coldest of the year and for that matter the coldest for many years. The thermometer ran down to eighteen above zera. Henry Morgan said that he had never experi- enced colder weather in the valley but once and that was sixteen years ago when 1t got as cold as fourteen above. Ice formed to thickness of two inches and the Gila was frozen over at his crossing. The cold spell caught great many wild ducks which had not got quite fer enough south. They were unable to fly from the river for the slipping of their feet on the ice. Neither could they be caught for the ice was not thick enough to bear the weight of a man.
 BACK TO sCHOoL-Edgar and Clarence Spaulding left last evening for Occidental college. Los Angeles. after spending a delightful vacation in Phoenix. Monday evening they enter tained Ralph and Ivy Marshall at a ! o'clock dinner after which it was the intention to take an automobile | ride by moonlight but while waiting for the moon to appear a bevy of young people arrived and proceeded to l make themselves at home. The sur prise was complete, not even thesM Mar | shall boys having had an inkling of i what was coming. All passed pleas | ant evening and after light refresh ments were served departed in the best of spirits.
 SETTLED AT CROWN KING.-The
