L. Fl. Beamish, secretary Of the
Southwestern Securities company, of
Los Angeles, arrived in this city last
Saturday on a business trip for the
company. He was greatly delighted
with Prescott and much surprised to
see what a beautiful and substantial
city it was. He said his idea of Pres
colt had always been that it was a
hot, desert country all around it, and
he had rather dreaded the trip here
but his surprise was a most agreeable
one, and he would never again tire
of telling of the nice climate and the
mountain scenery of this place.
The concert given on Sunday at
Granite Dells, by ElIery's Royal Ital-
ian band, was attended by between
700 and 800 people. The playing of
the band was faultless and highly ap-
precisted by all present, and Mr.. Shu-
nate,is being complimented for his
enterprise in securing the services
the band for this concert. In addi-
tion to the classic music rendered, the
band plays number of familiar Am
erican airs, music which can be un-
derstood and appreciated by the
masses, and which is none the less ap-
preciated by the most cultured in
music.
The injunction recently granted at
Florence by Judge Doan against the
Arizona & Eastern, Southern Pacific
branch, on petition of the Phenix L
Eastern has been dissolved. In dis
solving the injunction there was a
sort of implied you must be good,
though to the defendants. There has
been no trouble of late. The S. P.
people wanted the injunction dis
solved to secure good standing before
the interior department at Washing
ton where their maps and plat of their
land has been filed. They claim
priority for filing their maps, and in
this way hope to secure the right of
way over the disputed piece of the
route wanted by both companies.
J. H. Foley, of Ash Fork, was
brought in to Mercy hopsitsl on Sat
urday night suffering from a severe
I Irr,f 20 in, Of 10
was driving in a cart to his ranch and
to while the time away was trimming
the tail of his horse, reaching out
over the dash board, and cutting to-
wards him. The cart wheel dropped
into rut when the knife slipped and
struck Mr.. Foley in the left breast
! Just below the heart. The keen blade
went clear through the flesh, enter
ing the cavity of the lungs and it was
thought cutting one of them slightly.
He has been getting along very nicely
and it is thought will recover al
though at first serious consequences
we're feared.
The Santa Fe company has dis
charged a good many of their deputies
during the past week. Eighteen of
them, sent out from Prescott, have
returned. The strikers in Arizona
have been very orderly. In San Ber-
uardIno, it is alleged, that they as
saulted some of the men who took
3 haar I'll A h.
turned a few days since from Cali
fornia, stated that when the train he
was on reached a point few miles
this side of Needles, it was brought to
a stop very suddenly, on account of
something being wrong with the en-
CINE. On investigation the engineer
discovered that a lot of fine emery
dust had been poured into one of the
oil holes of the engine. 1t took
about an hour to remove it and get
the engine in condition to continue
the run.
Mrs. 7. J. Butler has sent T.
W. OTIS two large and very hand
somely framed pictures of her late
husband, Hon. 7. j. Butler, one of
which is to be donated to the public
schools and the other to he free Ii
brary. The gift is a very appropriate
one as MIR. Butler was prominently
identified with the cause of education
in the territory for a number of years,
as we'll as being prominent in other
ways in the territory. Mr.. Butler was
editor and proprietor of the Arizona
Miner in early days, and was terri
torial treasurer for several terms and
receiver of the Prescott, Arizona,
land office for over four years. 1t was
a very happy thought OF the part of
Mrs. Butler to make this donation,
and if pictures of more of the old
timers of Prescott, who have passed
away, could be secured to ornament
the walls of the public school build
ings and the library rooms it would
be very appropriate, as they we're the
real history makers of Arizona.
