SAD NEWS.

Rev. MT. Crouch, the new M. F. church minister, left for Yuma Sunday evening after only a few days stay in Mesa, owing to an accident which happened to his wife's sister in Yuma, which finally resulted in her death on Sunday morning. While here a very favorable impression was made by MT. Crouch upon the people who had the pleasure of meeting him. Rev. MT. Crouch was called to fill the pulpit at Mesa at the late M. E. conference, and decided to make the trip by team, his wife coming by rail, to arrive here Thursday. He arrived, but instead of meeting Mrs. Crouch he received word that she could not come owing to her sister meeting with an accident re- quiring her presence there, but they expected her to be better soon, when she would join him here. But Sunday morning he received the sad word that the sister had died, and asked that he return for the funeral. He preached the morning service and took the eve ming train for Yuma.

THE PROSPECT PLEASING.
Special Tax Money Coming in-But
 Still Some UncolIected.

The committee appointed at a special meeting of the city council last week to meet with the two railroads and the board of supervisors made a visit to Phoenix yesterday for that purpose. The committee consists of Attorney w J. Kingsbury and Dr. J. A. Dimes. They had a conference with the off, ciaIs of the railroads and the members of the board of supervisors and in each case received satisfactory encourage ment. Both agreed to be forthcoming with their share of the money when the four thousand dollars has been raised by the citizens of Tempe, the whole of which is to be spent in work on the Miller ranch for the protection of the town against nigh water. A great deal has already been said regarding this special tax but probably under the cir cumstances too much can not be said for the matter is one of vital import ance.
 Now that the supervisors and the railroad companies have promised to raise about nine thousand dollars between them provided Tempe raises a little less than half that amount, the matter is beginning to take form and the prospect is very pleasing to those WHO nave pIOpGIly 4lltel cSlS llcLe III town or near by. StiH it remains for Tempe to start the work by raising the balance of the tax levied and Of course the sooner this money is on hand the sooner active operations will be commenced. While the time limit on the tax is some time next month, lit behooves all those interested to pay up at once if possible for just as soon as the money is raised here, the two other funds will be available. A good share of the special tax has already been collected by MT. Brown but there still remains some to be turned in and even a few hundred dollars may delay the work.

TEN NIGHTS IN A BAR ROOM.


 The Walter Walsh Stock company played to a full house Saturday night in the Mesa Opera house-in fact, big rustic was made to get extra seats to accommodate the crowd that came out to be entertained by the troupe from Phoenix. Mesa once more proved herself to be neighborly, for it is possi ble that a great many came out be- cause the troupe came from a neighbor city, and they wanted to treat them right on their first visit.
 The play, which had been modern ized considerably, was well presented throughout, and was well received by the Mesa audience, who cheered Ius- tily at times. Walter Walsh as Joe Morgan presented about the best ren- dftion of that character that has ever been seen here, and Duncan Howard was not far behind him in the come dy character of Sample SwicheI, who had his audience in q roar of laughter while on the stage. The other charac- ters were well presented and reflected credit upon the members of the troupe.
 Wilbur Reynolds sang between acts in very fine baritone voice, but did not respond to the encore called for by the applause. Oras Butterfield made the audience hold it's breath for sev- eraI minutes with his rather ''fly" inn personation of "Petticoat ballet sing er." There was growing very decided shocked" sentiment when he raised his ladies' wig and the discovery was made that it was not a lady, but nothing but a man. He was brought back and strongly applauded.
 At the conclusion of the play the chairs were cleared and a pianola at tached to the piano and to the strains of the waltz and two-step a couple of hours were whiled away. The troupe is composed of capital entertainers and
