of the crack baseball players who ar
 rived here recently to spend the rest
 of the winter in Phoenix, and who has been playing with the Phoenix team | has decided to remain in Phoenix if
 he can get employment that will be satisfactory. He is crack second
 baseman and is also a good amateur pitcher. He is practically signed with 1 the Colorado Springs league team for the coming season but if he can ar range to do so satisfactorily he pre- fers to "cut out" professional ball and live in the sunkissed land. In that event the Phoenix team will be the gainer for good ball players are scarce in the summer time and MT. Farrow is always glad to play for fun
 TURNER PROPERTY SOLD-Dave Turner yesterday sold to w. N. Tiffany for $3000 his home place on Central avenue. It is one of the best known properties in the suburbs of the city being the well known rose garden of MT. Turner, and the consideration was snap for the buyer. MT. Turner's idea in selling 1t was not that he did not consider it worth more money but his physicians advse him to avoid the hot summers Eere for a couple of years and in going elsewhere he had to have a little capital to work with and that was the only way to raise it. He went to Los Angeles last week and selected a five acre tract of ground which he can buy at 4 bargain not far from the city and he proposes to go into the business of raising roses in California and will try also to supply the Phoe-- nix market at least in part. He says that if all goes well with him he hopes to return here in a few VaarS
 A MORE AGGRAVATED CRIME Juan Dillagas was before U. s. Court Commissioner Johnstone yesterday on the charge of selling liquor to an In- dian, or rather as acting as agent for several Indians in the purchase of li- quor, which amounts to the same thing. Dillagas was before Justice Johnstone week before for misdemeanor. He was given until last Saturday night to raise it and pay his fine. He did not appear but there was no hurry about it; the justice would have given him little more time. It turned out that Dillagas did not go to he coun- try and go to work as he said he would but loafed around town getting drink now and then wherever he could. Constable Troops ran across him on Friday in company with three
 
 Crawford Joaquin and Juan Chiago. He caught Dillagas passing a bottle to one of them and took him into custo- dy. The Indians admitted that they had made Dillagas their purchasing agent. He has been held to the federal grand jury.
 M. G p. R. R. TROUBLES-The NJ & F. Railroed company's misfortunes seem to be continuing with compound interest Yesterday morning the Gila river raised again considerably and brought down a new supply of drift wood. One big leg or timber from some structure up the stream, struck the recently driven piles in the bridge a terrific blow, taking out one bent of the bridge. When the train from Mar icopa reached the bridge it found for the fourth time this year, a hole in it too big to jump across. The pile drivers were immediately put into ac- tion and in the course of a few hours the bridge was repaired sufficiently for the train to cross and a load of passengers and mail arrived in Phoenix about D. m. It will be remembered that it was only the day before that trains began running across the bridge, the first time since the big flood Of ten days previous. The train left for Maricopa last night about o'clock and presumably reached there in safe ty as nothing to the contrary has been learned. but the angry and unreliable condition of the river yesterday and the continuous rain all day has a ten dency to make timid people nervous and whether the train will get here this morning or not is a good specula- tive proposition.
