 TWO RUNAWAYs- were two lively runaways yesterday on Center street. The first, in the forenoon. was q fine looking horse and buggy driv en by middle-aged man whose name was not learned. but that he was a good driver was well demonstrated The horse was going south when he became frightened and was unmana- geable for a time but the driver got him under control by the time ne reached Washington street. No dam age was done. The other runaway Was that of a horse belonging to a Japa- nese who had taken the bride off on Broadway that the horse might enjoy his dinner. In some way he got loose and running east turned north on Cen ter. He barely missed running over w. H. Nall. who was sitting in his buggy in front of Latham's. Billy happened to be on the street and mounted. He ran after the frightened horse and did good piece of cowboy work in catching him by a rope around his neck and bringing him to a stand still.
 A FINE DOcuMENT-GoveTnor Kibbey yesterday completed and pre- pared for delivery the certificate or election of Marcus A. Smith, to repre- sent Arizona in the Sixtieth congress, the certificate being dated December II. There are no blank forms for this certificate as only one is required every two years. so the governor had one made to order that ought to pass the most critical inspection anywhere and meet the approval of the most particular house of representatives that ever got together. The document is no more legal than d rypewritten credential signed by the governor but the governor believes that AriZona's delegate should have as much dignity as anybody who breaks into congress so he had this certificate engrossed by Jack Adams. an employe of the surveyor generals office. It is an imi tation of printing. partly in German letters and partly in English type of an official style and unless the ob- servers attention was especially called to it. he would never suspect that it was other than a Autograph produc- tion. It is probably the most clever piece of pen work ever turned out in Arizona. d credit to he genius of MT. Adams and a compliment to the dele gate-elect.
