who are now residing at Cotton wood, Ariz., and have been in the city on visit, leave tomorrow for home.
 Last Tuesday evening at the M. E. parsonage the Epworth League gave Halloween social, which was largely attended, and later at the church served refreshments. Miss Dunn rendered a piano selec tion, while Mesdames Evans and Hodson gave interesting readings. MT. James Ragan was present with his phonograph and materially as- sisted with the entertainment.
 Dr. P. A. Melick yesterday re- ceived his appointment as the rer. resentative of the territorial fair in this county, and has since been dis tributing advertising matter and buttons of the first great event. His duties, besides the effort to create interest, will consist of efforts to secure entries in various events and exhibits for the various depart ments. Doc. is a real sport and no better choice could have been made for the position.
 Pat Hollihan. who is now in business at Ash Fork, came up on Wednesday evening, accompanied by his partner, Jas. w. Prior. Pat, who is an old friend of Battling" Nelson, could not resist the tempta- tion of coming up here to see him put "out" Jimmy Britt. At the time of the fight he received an in- vitation from Nelson to be present, seat having been reserved for him, but was unable to go. Need- less to say he enjoyed the "scrap."
 Sometimes a newspaper man is placed in an embarrassing position, but as a rule he is able to come out all right. One day last week we were sitting in our office conversing with party when the door opened and a voice demanded: "Say, will you tell me where my wife is?" Now, under ordinary circumstances we would have denied all knowl- edge of that sort, but as the ques- tioner was Ed. Lamb, who had just returned from the east, the ques- tion was natural. He knew she was at Fresno, but had forgotten the street address, and as we were sending the NEWS there. knew he could find out at this office.
 The geological survey party which is now on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. so MT Bass informs us, is at present located at point called Kanabunitts, 25 miles east of the saddle between Powell plauteau and the mainland. MT. Bass re- turned last week from their camp, having taken over some supplies for the party, about 1900 pounds in all. He states they are finishing the running of a line across to Bright Angel, which will be com pleted about the 18th, at which time they will return into the Can yon for thirty days, which time will allow the completion of maps of that section of the great gorge.
 Wednesday evening at the opera house the Britt Nelson 18-round fight was pulled off with the aid of a moving picture machine. Owing to the lateness of No. 2, on which the company arrived, probably there were not so many in attendance as there otherwise would have been, yet quite a number were out and greatly enjoyed the bout. Some of the boys in the audience let their feelings get the better of them and as the principals in the pictures got to mixing things lively, began to shout as though they were at the real ring side. It may be said that the pictures were probably the best and most distinct that have been produced here.
 w. w. Bass was in the city the first of the week from the Grand Canyon, having just returned from a trip to the north side with pro- visions for the U. s. geological sur vey party. He informed us that upon his return to the Canyon he would immediately leave again for the north side on a ten days hunt ing trip, in charge of party com posed of MT. Charles Voorhees,, wife, son and daughter. who are already at the Canyon. MT. Voorhees,, who is wealthy man residing at Brook lyn, is on his way with his family to the coast for the winter and are enjoying themselves en route. MT. pooc ofofol <hok # ,,o, ooe,;b1o
