A CALIFORNIA vIsIroR-D.

He expects to be married on Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the residence of Mir. and Mrs. A. H. Davidson. to their eldest daughter. Miss Christine Davidson. The young couple will leaVe on the Tuesday evening train for Pasadena, which is to be their home. MT. Stooksberry is in charge of the Edison electric power station at Pas adena. He likes his home town and speaks we'll of it but also has favor able impression of Arizona and be- lieves that as a field for finding the right sort of a wife the Golden state isn't in the running with Arizona.
 ANDY JORDAN CAPTURED Word was received in Phoenix last evening that Andy Jordan had been captured in Mesa City and was then in the custody of the marshal of Tempe. No particulars were learned concerning the circumstances under which he was apprehended or his con- dition at the time. but presumably he was all right and not suffering of thirst, for even though Mesa is a com paratively dry town, a man can get water there if he is really bent on us- ing it. Jordan is the man who es- capped from the territorial asylum early Friday morning by tearing out the metal screening to his window. So far as known, he was naked when he left, his clothes being in the corridor. where he could not get them without detection. The asylum officials looked diligently for him all Friday and Sat urday without success. and it was

 WATER YOUR HORSES-Dr. Howard Ramsey, city humane officer. reports that various complaints have been lodged with him against different drive.s of express and transfer wag- Ons and others doing business on the streets. daily requiring their teams constantly in harness. The charges are that while the owners are not in tentionany willful, they are neglectful of their stock in not watering the horses with sufficient frequency dur ing the hot weather. It is said they will hitch the teams to a post some times in the forenoon, not having i'm mediate use for them, then go away to dinner, and, returning, sometimes work them all afternoon without water. The treatment accorded might not be cruel in the winter time but at this season a horse should be ire quently watered, especially if he has work to do. The health officer has no desire to arrest anybody, and hopes such action will not be necessary, tion of horse owners shall be directed to this matter, and sincerely hopes that the Phoenix men, who are sup posed to be merciful, will be merciful to the.~ beasts.
 DON'T WANDER-Arizona is land O. mo onificent distances as well as other things and people who are with the country should not wander into strange places in any part of the territory at this season of the year. There are deserts and wide ex- panses that are dangerous to cross in the summertime, even in the cool nor thern counties, at this season of the year. for the sun gets hot at midday these days wherever you find it. The Williams News brings an account of two men that were all but lost in the Grand Canyon region recently, both being strangers. One was al young man who left Williams for the can
