 MT. King punished his antagonist very severely. knocking him down and beating him up considerably while he had him on the ground. A crowd of about hun dred persons quickly gathered but efforts of bystanders to interfere were prevented for few seconds by MT. Lockhart, who called out to let them fight, Finally MT.

Robbed Office of Police.

That the burglar is no respector of per sons was demonstrated on Saturday night When Captain and Acting Chief of Police Miller was made the victim of the thievery of some bold marauder. Captain Saturday and had carried them to his room over Ike's saloon that evening about dark He expected to blossom out in the new clothes. which were of blue serge on Easter morning
 About Il o'clock Saturday night, having purchased a pair of shoes, he carried them up to his room. As he went up the stairs he noticed that the lamp was burn Ing, the light showing through the tran som. This occurred to him to be strange as he had not left the lamp burning Entering the room he found at once that he had been robbed. The suit of clothes was gone from the bed and his trunk had been broken open. In the trunk he had number of pieces of jew elry. family relics and a. small savings bank in which he had about $l6O. The bank had been taken and most of the pieces of jewelry. There was nothing to indicate the identify of the thief.
 It is supposed an entrance was gained through the thief getting out on the one story roof in the rear and going through the window which overlooks the roof
 It is supposed that the same person rear door was found open this morning but the door that separates the front of the saloon from the rear was not forced

Mr- ReakselSer began to sit up. He
 thought his hearing wns defective. He increased the sound gathering capacity of his left ear by lengthening it by the breadth of his hand. By this time MT. Bell was denOuncing President Roose- welt as q tyrant whose chief enjoyment lay in trampling upon the rights of the people and making tatters out of the constitution, dear to every Texas democrat. MT. Reakseker. who is a large man, began to assume larger proportions. He spread his hand in which he was holding his ear to it's greatest dimensions to satisfy himself that he was getting it right The trade against the president became more and more fierce. MT. Reakseker sprang to his feet and looked around him, crying, Where are my people !? Where are my people," and made for the door A little later he took his proper seat in the republican conven- ton at the Hardwick
 Dick Newton. the holder of a repub- lican proxy from the Third ward. made the same kind of a mistake. He ar rived at the Doris late having been detained in closing up the sale of carload of hams. The nominating stage had been entered upon when MT. Newton arrived at the hall He could not see where the Third ward dele gates were sitting. hut he found a place in the body of the house and looked around. thinking ft strange that he could not see the face of at least one familiar republican.
 Just then the nomination for district attorney was reached, and before a nominating speech had been made the cry of "Bullard' came from different parts of the house. Some one yelled. Make it by exclamation" MT. Newton arose and exclaimed, Good God. what about my friend Richardson?" He was disillusioned. and made his way to the Hardwick.

TWO REPUBLICANS
 IN THE WRONG PEW
How They Participated in the Dem
 Ocratic County Convention.


 The new primary law requiring con ventions of political parties to be held simultaneously is not without its dis advantages. It was learned yesterday that the first trial of it in Phoenix on Thursday was attended by some con fusion. B. F. Reakseker, a staunch re- publican and one of the Alhambra delegates to the republican convention, came to town and. seeing some stir about the Doris theater. entered and took his seat well up in front. He was somewhat surprised to observe no re- publicans whom he knew to be dele gates to the convention.
 When the proceedings were begun. somebody moved the election of w. D. Bell for temporary chairman. Mir I;eakseker had heard something about the intended organization of the repub- lican convention, but he had not heard the name of Mir. Bell mentioned in con- nection with it. He accordingly voted no the only dissenting vote heard.
 Mir. Bell proceeded with his biennial speech, which has become a part of the democratic ritual in this county, in which he describes a white lily bosomed among the eternal snows of the Alps. where lilies never grow. But the democrats who hear his speech ev- cry two years know that MT. Bell has in mind the purity of the democratic party. for what do lilies and snow sig nifty except purity?
 MT. Reakseker sat through the ex- ,rdium. Though he had never heard anything like this in a republican con yention. still his suspicious were not aroused. MT. Bell at last began to .ast slurs upon the republican party.

 That Prescott is soon to become the P0ssessor of-~one of the most preten- tiOus passenger depots ever erected in a city of twice it's size in the western country, and that the nagement of inc santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix railway realizes the strides this city has made in population and prosperity the past few years, is made manifest by the improvements planned by thd- company, which is even now engaged in more than. trebling the capacity of

The stairway on the north side will lead to a hallway opening into the train dispatcher's office and the trainmen's lobby. The trainmas- ter's office will open into the dispatch er's office at the east end of the sec ond floor
 The central portion of the second story will be occupied by the general offices, while in the west end the draughtsman's office and the offices of the general superintendent and chief engineer will be situated. An apart ment facing on Cortez street will be occupied by the law department. The remaining portion of the floor will be occupied by vaults for records toilet rooms and other small apartments.
 A sixteen-foot porch will connect with the roof for the entire distance around the building. while a cement sidewalk will surround the premises.
 As work progresses on the nev structure several important changes will be made in the trackage of the railroad yards and many other eXten- slVe improvements are under cOntem- plation. which will involve large cx- penditures and more than double the present capacity of the yards.
 It is the intention of the manage ment of the road to push these i'm provements to completion as rapidly as building facilities will permit.
 The Republican some time ago de- | scribed the proposed new depot at Prescott as well as the magnificent | new depot and Harvey hotel at Ash | Fork. The suggestion was made at | that time that things are now in order ! for a new depot in Phoenix-a union |, would be not only Q | good thing for both railroad companies | but would also be a good thing for | property and residents in that part Of | the town.
