 BOOSTERS BANQUET-The first annual banquet of the Consolidated Order of Boosters of Phoenix was held yesterday in the basement of the ca sino The menu consisted of water melons. There were twenty four Be side the consumption of these viands there was a general discussion of things affecting the order and it was the con- sensus of opinion that for some req son. probably on account of the drduth and the midsummer absence of so many people from Phoenix, the busi ness of the booster was falling behind. otherwise there would have been some thing more sumDtuOus on the table than water melon, than which though l there is nothing more luscious, it Is lacking in variety. A watermelon ban quet must necessarily consist of only one course.

 | THE DRUNK RECoRD-Two sleep 1 ing drunks were picked up yesterday | by the police. not that they were both ering anybody but just for their own 1 good. Theywill probably be releas sed. Andy Garcia was also brought in and counted again but he gave up five dol | lars for cash bail and was released. Il During the few minutes he was in durance he noticed an old friend who was serving an eight day sentence and had one more day yet to put in. Andy's heart was touched to think his friend would have to spend the glorious fourth in the bastile so he dug up the shy dol lar and secured his release. Andy is a true blue American, whatever his weakness for liquor may be and though he is Mexican by race color and in- stinct he is certain his ancestors would
 have come over in the Mayfower if
 they had been given the opportunity.
