 A CRAZY cHINAMAN-Deput | Sheriff Joe BaIsz thought for a time yesterday that he had broken all rec 1 ords. He arrested a Chinaman who
 was cursing in the street, betrayin g all the symptoms of one who had ov erindulged. A drunken Chinaman had never been seen in these parts and the officer believed that he would be a curiosity to show to the office of the sheriff. But there was a suspi- cious absence of one circumstance. There was no smell of liquor. The longer the Chinaman was in custody the more violent he became and at last the officers began to differentiate his condition from plain drunkenness. The Chinaman was evidently crazy. He will probably be given an exaTnina- tion today.

 TELEPHONE EXTENSION-C. w. Hnchcliffe, general manager of the Sunset Telephone, Telegraph and Electric company spent yesterday in the city attending to matters in con nection with his company. At pres ent arrangements are being made to increase the service in Mesa, Tempe, and Phoenix, and it is likely that with in another month several extensions to reach new rural districts will be put in. During the past two months near ly two hundred new phones have been installed in this city, the list at present reaching over the 1000 mark. This would at once suggest decided in crease in the local population but MT Hinchcliffe explained that that would not necessarily follow. Many of the recent arrivals in the city who want phones are as a rule either invalids to whom they are nearly necessity or persons of some means who can well afford such a convenience. Mir HinchcIiffe returned to Tucson last night.

He says that although he is not here on business he will take occasion to say something in behalf of this section, through the columns of the papers with which he is connected.
 GALPIN WAS SLOW-The mail that arrived yesterday morning brought heartbreaking news for A. w. Galpin. though it did not come to him direct It brought a little circular let ter to Postmaster McClintOck wnO passed it over to Assistant Galpin with tears in his eyes. This circular letter was from the Stafford Stamp company of New York and Chicago and told about the wondrous worth of the Foyer postal scale, a self computing device for weighing mail matter. About two years ago MT. Galpin applied his genius to the devising of a scale for that pur- pose and practically worked out the idea but laid it aside for further inn provement from time to time, until about three weeks ago he announced to a Republican reporter that he had it all worked out to a success. A writeup of his wonderful invention was given at once and MT. Galpin's fortune was pictured as practically made. The circular of the Stafford Stamp company describes an invention that is almost an exact duplicate of his, the only diff ference being that on his scale bar is
