Arizona republican., 1904-12-26

Lund. Covers were laid for twenty three and there were no unused plates. There was everything the appetite could reasonably crave for and a great many things were eaten long after ap- petite had taken it's departure. After dinner there was music, little danc- ing and whole house full of sociabil- ity and fun.
 A SUCCESSFUL YOUNG MAN James M. B. Irvine, after an absence of two ahd a half years has returned to Phoenix to spend the holidays with his parents. Mr. IT, vine is one of the younger men of Phoenix who have gone to Los Angeles
 and successfully entered business for himself. He and another young man own and conduct an electrical supply business at No. 436 south Hill street. EXPENSIVE FRIENDSHIP-A man from the rural precincts, was arrested Saturday night by the police for carry ing a concealed weapon. He had a
 wicked looking gun on him but he made 1 no attempt to use it or conduct himself in other than an orderly manner. When arrested he said he had taken the wea- pon from a friend who was under the influence of liquor and he disarmed him fearing that he might later get into trouble The man arrested was releas- ed on depositing cash bail bond of ten dollars.
 MRS. DOBBs' WATCH-The watch
 of Mrs. M. J. Dobbs proprietress of the Valley lodging house was taken on Saturday night and about the time it
 was missed a cook by the name of
 Fulton, who had been employed there
 for a short time. left very suddenly. There, were other circumstances con
 meeting him with the watch and he was intercepted at Maricopa yesterday. A
 warrant for his arrest was issued by
 Justice Burnett last night and an of l ficer went after him. Fulton had been
 in the city only a short time but in that
 time he had at least four names and it | is said that he left still others in other parts of the country. This is the sec 1 ond time that that watch has been stolen within a month. >The first time
 it was found in a pawn brokers shop
 and the young man who stole it was
 arrested. Ne is now serving out a term
 in the county jail. So it is probable that
 two men will be in jail tonight for the theft of the same watch at different
 times
 "A LYNcHING AVERTEO-There was serious talk among the sports last
 night of lynching L. M. Hoghe, but happily better judgement prevailed. It
 all came about through the horse race
 at Eastlake park yesterday nd/Once
 more demonstrates how fast a man can
 go to pieces when he gets to following
 the track. It was a horse race between
 skate ridden by Hoghe and Harry
 Friedman's roan prize winner, WhirI-
 wind. It was not much of race either
 and it was Hoghe's first one, hence the
 comment about his sudden fall. Hoghe won of course but it was so apparent | that the Arab roan was the better
 horse of the two that the men who put ! their money on Friedman at once ac- cused Hoghe of having paid him nine
 teen dollars of the twenty dollar purse and a big Hamburger sandwich
 to throw the race. The glory was all
 Hoghe wanted while Harry needs the money. The trouble was settled by
 HOghe being barred from participation | in any future race in any country or | in any language.
 CHRISTMAS SERVICES CAN lCELEED-It has been a custom in this
 city for certain good people to call at the city and county jails all holi- | days, hold religious services and often | bring the prisoners good things to eat
 as-well as furnishing them with a little wholesome soul food. The extreme | good behavior of Phoenix people this l year or their facility in paying fines
 and getting out of jail, prevented the
 usual ceremonies at the city jail yester- i day. In the morning a worthy man l ltelephoned the marshal that himself
 and wife were desirous of visiting the | jail, bringing along some Christmas
 turkey and holding a short service. The
 marshal told him he was perfectly
 willing but the only inmate of the jail
