by officers in California and Northern
 Arizona. When he saw the officers ap-
 preaching he snatched from the earth
 a shovel handle and struck Stanford a
 stinging blow on the right wrist.
 Brooks shot the man through the
 shoulder and Douglas then attacked
 Brooks who fired again, the bullet
 grazing the mans scalp and stunning
 him.
 BALL GAME AT MESA TODAY
 The Phoenix fire department ball team
 will go to Mesa today to play a game
 with the Mesa team. A special round

 the game will begin at 2:3O.
 NO EXCESS BAGGAGE-John Rosseau left yesterday morning for St. Louis intending to be gone about three weeks, most of which time will be de- voted to looking over President Fran cis' big show and carefully criticizing the Pike. He did not want to be ham pered by excess baggage while sight seeing and left with nothing but bis railroad ticket his pocket book and a cane with q curved handle. If 1t he- comes necessary for him to make any compromises with fashion he may buy a plug hat when he gets to the city.
 PERHAPS-It was announced some days ago that Dr. F. O. Richmond had gone to Ash Fork to meet his bride, hai Af 1na Af widower. Bulletins announce thai he arrived there safely and is still there waiting for Mrs. Richmond to appear He anxiously looks over every train that pulls into the station but thus far has met with nothing but disap- pointment. He is very determined till she comes, even if he loses his vote this fall. It is expected though t!,at he and Mrs. Richmond will reach home this morning-perhaps
 AN EXAMINER OF SURVEYS Surveyor General Ingalls, leaves to- morrow morning for Dudleyville, Pinal Arizona, and from there will proceed to the strip of country recent ly withdrawn from the White moun- tain Indian reservation, on account of its valuable deposits of coal, where he will examine the survey of Tp. S, F. r F., recently executed by Deputy Surveyor Philip ContZen, of Tucson, About ten days will be con- stunned in making this inspection. This is the first time in the history of the office, for the past ten or twelve years, that the surveyor general has been di- rected to act as an examiner of sur veys.
 A POST GRADUATE MACHINIST -G. E. Garner. manager of Derris- Heyman Town CO. s sewing machine has returned after a visit to his old home in Ashtobula, Ohio. He is accompanied by his family, who spent last winter in the valley, com ing now to make Phoenix their per manent home. MT. Garner is a wei come acquisition to the Ohio colony. Possessed of natural mechanicalingenu- ity, he has originated several improve ments in stationary engines, and dur ing the past summer has spent most of his vacation in the mechanical depart ments of the eastern sewing machine and cash register factories, taking post graduate course, so to speak.
 BIG SYSTEM TIED UP-It will be a matter of conncern to every one in Arizona to learn that the entire street car system of Prescott is tied up. This large system is composed of total or one car which is suffering from stroke of flat wheel. One of the Pres colt papers enters a grave diagnosis of the cars plight and assures an inn patient public that 1t is a disease liable to attack any car. New wheels have been ordered for the car and it is an- ticipated that Prescott's street car system will be relieved of its embar- rassment in the near future. Nothing better illustrates the seriousness with which Prescott takes it's street car than the fact that one of the hotel pro- prietors of the city built a baby corral to protect the youthful offspring of guests from the pulveriZing power and confusion of the cruel wheels of the city's street car system.
 ANOTHER GAME WITH CON- GRESS-The Phoenix baseball team will go to Congress on Sunday for an- other game with the Congress cracks This time Phoenix will be represented by her full team excepting Parish, the second baseman, and he has fine un- gerStuQy III GeOTBe LulSSluiuS, W ho played in the Congress game before. McNulty, the crack first baseman of the Phoenix team has returned from the dam site and will probably go with the boys to Congress. Loman will be behind the bat with Wimp and Delga- do for pitchers. Avery, as short stop, will be on deck and the rest of them so far as known will be on hand. If all plans carry the Phoenix team will be fully equipped and if it doesn't make the Congress aggregation look like thirty cents, it will itself look like less than half that amount when Sunday night comes. And there will be nothing to say in self defense either.

He has given up his job there for the purpose of returning to his former home in Washington, D. C. He will remain here though till after the guard encampment. MT.
