 Anstrand, of Chicago. is recent ar 1, rival in Phoenix and expects to re-
 main here during the winter
 i A COUNCIL MEETlNG-A meeting
 of the city council was held last even
 ing at which there was nothing accom-
 plished and the meeting was soon ad-
 journed. The law provided that a
 meeting be held, but because of yester-
 day being a holiday an adjournment Ito Wednesday evening was taken. At that time the bills for December will
 be passed upon and the salary list ap- proved.
 BUILDING MORE HOMES-There
 are several small cottages in different
 parts of the city now in course of erec-
 tion the most of them being construct
 ed for renting purposes. Rev. MT.
 Seargeant is the owner of a cottage now being erectd on North Second avenue which is to be six room brick
 dwelling. When complete it will have cost $2400. MT. German an employ of the Phoenix Railway company is building at the corner of Carr avenue and Washington street. Contractor Kersting is in charge of the work and the last two houses named will each
 be occupied by their owners.
 VERY PLEASING SHOW-A large number of Phoenix people put the finishing touches on their New Years celebration by witnessing the mirthmaking performance at the Dor ris opera house, known as "Hooligan in New York" The bill has tragedy or so scattered through it after the manner of the melodrama but it is livened up by comedy to a degree that keeps the audience from becoming de- pressed over the mere matter of an oc- casional murder. James l.. McCabe. as "Hooligan,' is the leading charac- ter, and he is well supported by cast Of clever men and women and by re- markedly interesting bull dog that nightly saves his life by pulling him off the track just before a train passes. The comedy features of the play are of constantly recurring ire quency, and the audience last night enjoyed the entertainment immensely.
 MIR. GILES RETURNS-Mr w. A. Giles, who for a great many years has been a citizen of Chicago, from force of habit, but who for the last few years has spent much of his time in Arizona from choice, returned here on Saturday to remain the rest of the winter. MT Giles has a fine farm q ! short distance from the territorial fair | ground and is otherwise interested in | Arizona and her welfare. He had plan ! ned to get here in time for at least | the last day of the fair. His train was ! few hours late, but he went directly 1 from the depot to the fair grounds and ! got there in time to see the finish He : saw the great race and took quick I, look at things in general, being greatly pleased with the exhibition. When the i fair was over he began looking for quarters and secured them at the Ho- | tel Adams. Mrs. Giles and Miss Giles ! will join him here a little later.
 A HORSEBACK SUIT-A law suit is very apt to grow out of one of the recent running races held near this city. The horses were to run 2OO yards for a purse of s100, and the race was pulled off near Eastlake park. One horse, the property of an uncle Of , Frank Gonzales. was backed by ona 1 of the Mayana brothers and the other racer the property of a man named !, Killen, of Florence. was backed by : Frank Lopez. It was alleged by May ana whose horse lost the race, that the race was pulled. George York turned the stakes over to Lopez, how ever, and now Mayana is arranging to , sue him for his half of the money. The i case will be filed the last of the week. | A similar case in point was decided | by the court some months ago. At that | time the outcome of the race was de- clared to have no bearing on the mat ter. and the money was ordered re- turned as originally placed. to the bet -
