 OFFENSIVE lNEBRIETY. The po- lice arrested four MeXicans Saturday night. whose indulgence in spurious liquors WIS so pronounced that their conduct was construed to be violation Of the laws both of God and man. For the latter infraction they will be tried today by Recorder Thomas.
 HUNTING TlES-Yesterday seemed to be a day peculiarly adapted to the enjoyment of the nimrods, or at least they thought it was, for half dozen or more shooting parties took 10 the deserts and the river jungles. Some went in buggies, some in auto mobiles and some on foot and so far as heard from all were fairly success ful in doing things to the birds.
 CHARLES CROWLEY,S EXCELL- ENCE-Charles Crowley, foS many years the Western Unions active mes | senger boy in Phoenix, has for three weeks been operator and assistant | agent at Tempe.

 WON NEW LAURELS-The Pres l colt papers are loud in their cOmpli- ment of the singing of Mackenzie Cor | don of New York, temporarily a resi- dent of Phoenix, at the entertainment given in that city Friday evening under the auspices of the Monday club.

 last of it settles in the low pllces and stagnates. Whether 1t IS the fault of
 the contractor who built it or the then city engineer who established the grade.

 MOTE AND .BEAM-The Bisbee
 Miner discovers a mote about the size
 of a railroad tie, in the eyes of the
 Douglasc correspondent who all but
 wiped Bisbee off the map on the occa-

 fishes an account of the trip of a Bis
 bee citizen to Wilcox, whfch is out on
 a desert plain so flat it almost tips the
 other way. He makes this good citizen say that Wilcox was in the center of
 a small ocean the surrounding country
 being covered for miles and miles with water from two to six feet deep. The | same citizen is also made to say that
 In driving across the country his team doundered in the mire that was "sev-
 eral' feet deep. He must have had a
 very long legged team.

 fes Christ afresh by his daily trans
 gressions and an humble disciple of | Confucious was the means of bringing
 to the actor this light. Said the hea- then Chinese to the actor, We may be very alike in our worship after all.

 stead of going to that man and squar-
 ing yourself with him as you should do you kneel at night and say to the God who was crucihsd forgive me
