OF LOCAL
INTEREST

A GOOD TIME-That's what the
EUls promise all members who attend
tonigii's meeting. Just what it means
is of interest only to Elks and it is
their ddt- TO go and find out.
TOO MUCH WATER-It is said
that t. dead catfish found along the
west side of the capitol grounds came
from sam Stout's range beyond Glen
dale. They had been so accustomed to
dry weather and the carrying of can
teens that when the real water struck
them the Cther day the most of them
were drowned.
DOWN BUCKEYE WAY-The first
people to get back from the Buckeye
country since the flood were Thomas
Hall and a couple Of Glendale men who
managed by taking a long chance, to
ford the Aqua Fria on Tuesday. They
report quite an aggregation of Phoenix
people at Moore's station just beyond
the Aqua Fria, unwilling to risk the
danger of crossing the river. Among
them is Ed L. Branch. the painter,
who is worried for fear his friends are
worried about him, but he sends word
that he is all right. The river was
higher during this flood than any time
since 1891 and there is some fear con-
who were seen just before the flood
and have not been seen since.
BASEBALL-It is understood that
the Prescott baseball team is arrang-
ing to play a series of games here Sat
urday, Sunday and perhaps Monday
if nothing happens between now and
then to interfere. In order to give the
northern champions the best kind of q
run for their money or their glory, the
Phoenix team will practice this after
noon and tomorrow afternoon at 100
at Eastlal1e park, and all players are
requested to be on hand. The Pres
colt team, strengthened as it is by the
best men from the Whipple team, is
credited with being a fast aggregation
and 1t is up TO the Phoenix team to
still maintain its prestige against all
corners. 1t has never been defeated
and don't propose to be. But that does
not alter the fact that it may be if
it overlooks anything. Get busy.
A QUICK TEMPERED WAITER
A Mexican waiter employed at the Ca
sinO restaurant was before Justice
Burnett yesterday on the charge of
having assaulted a patron of the pie
counter with bottle of catsup. There
was no ground for the assault. The
victim had ordered beef steak and eggs.
The waiter misunderstood him or for
got and served him liver and eggs. The
customer said that he could not eat
liver. The waiter replied that mas
much as the negotiation had proceeded
so far he would have TO eat liver or
nothing. The patron showed the plate
away from him and the waiter hurled
a bottle at him. The customer was
badly cut on the side of the face. No
defense was attempted by the waiter
and he was sent to jail for twenty
days.
BODET- BROWN-Mr John P. Bo-
Diet and Rosa A. Brown, were married
last evening about dark at No. 500
north Second street, by Justice j. NJ.
Burnett. Both parties have lived in
Phoenix for a long time. are well
known and have many friends. The
marriage was to be a quiet one so just
to show a proper neighborly recogni-
ton of the event, many of the neighbors
had gathered around the house during
the preliminaries of the short service
and as soon as the magistrate had fin
ished they stirred up that end of town
with a charivari concert of large cali
Dre. 1t was a nice genteel sort of
charivari, not designed to be rude or
masquerading wherefore it was
launched the instant it was permits
sible without attempt to conceal the
identity of the cOnspirators. Later
there was a sumptuous wedding sup
per and the sociabiHty that usually
follows such functions.
A MINING DEAL-Stephen Burger
of Salem, Mass, has been in the city
for the last ten days, the guest of his
former townsman, Major S. c. Sy-
monds. Mr.. Burger has for many years
been associated in large commercial
enterprises in Salem and in Boston,
which is nearby. During his stay here
Mr.. Burger has entered into a contract
with a. c. Sheldon and Allen C. Will
son for the Copper Peak group of
mines, situated on the ella river about
twenty miles east of Florence. Messrs.
Sheldon and Wilson are well known
here and have theoretically pushed a
number of mining enterprises. Mr..
Burger represents a number of Bos-
ton capitalists and it is a matter for
congratulation that they have become
interested in these parts. 1t is under
stood that they propose to thoroughly
develop and equip the property in
which they have become interested and
which, it is said, has all the indica-
lions of becoming a great mine when
developed.
