found waiting room, and we rested
q while. Soon after the steamer from
Ocean View came, and in a few minutes
a larger steamer from New York arrived,
When we started to eat dinner a soldier
see the fight So we jumped up and
ran out.
"A large war vessel, with a smaller
dispatch boat, was coming up towards
the fort. When 1t was about d mile and
a half from mp the Rip-Raps opened
fire, and the war vessels began answering
back. and soon after the rapid ire guns lIs
from the;tfort began to shoot. ii must

Hooligan was allowed to stop over here and spend the day with Tempe friends as he had done at times before, always. however, upon hearing the evening train whistle, he was at the depot to meet his master and re- turn home.

 Mir Smith says that the first of the week a man arrived a little this side of Maricopa with two saddle horses. riding one and leading the oth- CT. Both were well equipped and in good shape.

 the city should care to begin paying on them, which it may do. However. there is a considerable amount in this fund at the present time and it vas thought advisable by the council to | loan 1t as there was no use in it's re- maining idle.

There are many men who wear their hats practically all the time when awake, and are blessed with a heavy shock of hair; yet if the scalps of these same men once became infested with dnndruff germs, the parasites would multiply all the quicker for lack of air. Badness would ensue as the final result. Newbro's Herpicide kills these germs and stimulates unhealthy hair to abundant growth.
