thunderbolt. But hailstones as large
 as birds, eggs fell for about ten sec | onds. They appear to have fallen on- | ly within a radius of a block of First
 avenue and Adams street in the vicin- | ity where the lightning struck.
 l A PLEA FOR CLEMENCY-A move | is already on foot for the release Of A. Montoya, who was sentenced less than | a week ago to 100 days in the county jail for an assault upon Francisco Quihuis, a neighbor. Montoya was ar
 rested on a warrant charging him with assault with intent to commit murder, | for in drunken fit Montoya had fired 1 several shots at Quihuis. At his pre- | liminary examination it was decided
 to reduce his crime if he would plead
 guilty to a simple assault. He readily agreed to that, and was given 100 days | in the county jail. It is now repre- l sented that his wife and children are | left without means of support and tFat they are really suffering greater pun | ishment than MontOya elected to take upon himself The matter has been taken to the office of the governor
 with the object of obtaining a pardon. | The governor is not in the city, and | in the meantime Montoya's friends will endeavor to secure recommenda-
 tiOns from the committing magistrate
 and the district attorneys office.
 | HAVING A FINE TIME-A letter
 received yesterday from J. Kolberg, of l the Arizona laundry, places him at Sheboygan, Wis, where he once owned
 and conducted a laundry. He says he
 is constantly talking Phoenix and the
 Salt River valley and he finds the sub
 ject very interesting to most people. | He has spent some time in visiting the Alden Speares' Sons laundry supply
 house, which institution he at one time
 represented as a travelling salesman. He is making arrangements to buy ev- cry new piece of laundry machinery he
 sees that looks good to him or that will | improve tht Arizona laundry plant. He says the best part of the trip is the
 receiving daily of The Republican and the perusal of the home news. He is having a fine time, and don't propose
 to come back until he gets ready, and in the meantime is doing all the mis-
 sionary work he can. He thinks, from the expressions of the people he has
 met that there will be a large move ment to the west this fall and that Arizona will have her full share of the tourists and settlers.
 HIGH CRIME AND MiSDEMEANoF U This community is usually patient and long suffering, but now and theT , the limit of impatience is reached Night before last a citizen of this place filled. his stomach, lately unusued as receptacle for strong drink with a vio, lent kind of liquor and broke the peac, l in d half dozen places. He hit men fol l the fun of seeing them fall. If he haC not been a pretty good sort of a fellow
 he would not have run half his course
 But finally he committed a crim
 against society which a large section
 of it refused to stand for. He upse
 a boiler full of 'mulligan' in the An heuser, when a dozen men who ha, been anXiOusly awaiting the feast al
 evening were crawling over each oth CT to get at it, and here it was sprea, f out over the floor. The citizen ha k constituted himself a public enemy and he was dragged off to jail. Yes
 terday morning Justice Burnett fine
 him $5. The punishment seemed in
 adequate to those who remembere how they were longing for that 'mul y ligan" as it was precipitated to tn
 floor.
