but today they should expect to be killed if they cross the track of the small boy. It is one of the chances the patriotic American has to take.
 UNAWAYS-There were two or three rather exciting runaways started yesterday, but all of them were stopped before any damage was done. One on Center street involved an Indian school team and a runabout, and a couple on Washington street were caused by the premature celebration of the Fourth of July by those excitable patriots, young and old, who could not wait until to- day to begin burning powder.
 BACK TO RESERVATION HOMES A number of the Apache Indian boys who are students at the Phoenix In dian school left on the Santa Fe yes terday afternoon to spend their vaca- tions at their former homes on the res ervation. They will go by rail to Hol- brook, thence south to Fort Apache. Among them are some of the older and more advanced students who have not been home for several years.
 A TWO MONTHS VACATION-Joe Rappaport, who for some time past has been with the McDougal & Cassou company, left this morning over the Santa Fe for his home in Brooklyn, N. Y. He will remain in the east about two months. This is the first trip east MT. Rappaport has made since coming west several years ago, and he has looked forward to it with a great deal of pleasure for some time
 A PATRIOTIC BANQUET-For the purpose of attending the ninth annual banquet of the Arizona Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, a number of Phoenicians left for Pres colt this morning. The banquet will be given tonight by Judge Sloan at the Yavapai club. Among those who left to attend are George D. Christy, Cap tain P. P. Parker, Carl Hayden, Clay Leonard and L. w Coggins. Hon. R. F. Sloan of Prescott is the president of i the Arizona society
 A CATTLE DEAL OFF-For several months Deputy Sheriff Frank King has been engaged in working up a cattle i deal for a foreign combination who de- l sired to purchase a large ranch in this | territory. He was well acquainted
 with the owner of the ranch, and he held off until the intending purchasers had authorized him to make an offer, | which he believed would be a liberal | one. There are 5000 head of cattle on | the ranch, beside horses and other | property. A few days ago the author | | cattle brought the price of the ranch
 far above the $10O,O0O mark. Yesterday | MT. King received a reply from the
 ranch owner. It was a bulky commu-
 nication and when MT. King first opened it he thought it must be an
 acceptance at great length of his lib-
 eral offer. He had not read long until
 he discerned that the writer had been
 in an impatient mood, which manifest
 ed itself in biting sarcasm. He said
 that he had saved up only few thou
 sand dollars which he would be able to give MT. King for taking the rancf
 and the rest of the property off his hands but he thought that later he
 might be able to earn more. so as tC make the bonus bigger. He inferred that if there were any of the "cut out cattle which the intending purchasers
 might not want he would be allowed tC ! drive them away. He concluded by telling MT. King that if he did moi
 think the writer had gone crazy he
 might come bacl, at him some time ] with a better offer.
