CHRISTMAS WITHOUT FLOW

ERS.-There was ,an unusual absence of flowers in Phoenix yesterday. Wha'
 few were seen came from Phoenix gar
 dens. Sanichas who receives regular shipments of flowers from the coast.
 had a telegram on Monday night from
 Los Angeles. saying that there were no flowers there
 THE DE RATTAN cASE.-Thouga
 public interest in the De Raylan case
 has not died out. there Is a shortage of
 information for the feeding of it. so
 that in the course of time il will perish
 of hamilton. There is more or less correspondence going on between Phoenix authorities and interested per
 sons elsewhere but that has nothing to
 do with the mystery. Judge JamisoE
 yesterday received letter from a Chi oago attorney desiring him to look in
 to the matter. He said the request was made at the instance of interested par
 ties but who they were he did not say. Justice Burnett as coroner. also had letter from a Chicago lawyer. directing him to hold the estate Of De Raglan here for the wife. George Kirkland. clerk of the probate court. had a letter from the Russian consul at San Fran cisco. who wanted a complete report of all the proceedings following the death of De Raylan.
 THE OIL SITUATION. -Anothe~ carload of oil was secured by the Pa cific Gas and Electric company yester- day. the former supply being nearly exhausted. There was a shutdown of about an hour yesterday morning be- tween and f o'clock which was oc- CasiOned indirectly by the oil short age though the supply was not yet exhausted. For some time past the conditions have been very trying on the pumps that remove the oil from the tanks Ordinarily. when the tanks are full there is no trouble. but they have been low for long time and an enormous suction is necessary to get the oil clear from the bottom and ex- tract it from the natural residue that has accumulated there. A few days ago two pumps used for this purpose were broken down at the same time. and yesterday morning the only pump then in commission was out of busi- ness for the same reaSin. There was a little oil left but it was very hard to get it. and in some instances it has been necessary to bail il out with buckets. The supply now secured will last a day or two. MT. Ensign has had one car of oil en route on the Southern Pacific since the goth. but don't know where it is or when it will get here if the engineers strike lasts. He has two other cars en route Ovec the santa Fe. and is hoping for their early arrival. He says this pump diff culty is only one of many similar try ing details with which the company has to contend. and of which it is no use to rush into print. but altogether it is the most strenuous job of furnish ing power he has ever been up against and he will be happier than anybody else when conditions improve. There has been no regular shutdown, and nn hopes there will not be. but there have been numerous short shut downs. owing to conditions above mentioned and there may be others before a good supply of oil is secured.

 OSBORN DISTRICTS CHRISTMAS GIFT.-Thc osborn school is the re- cipient Of a beautiful and useful Christmas gift in the way of eighteen
 volumes Of Horatio Alger Jr's. works. The donor was Francis F.. Earp of Philadelphia. Pa. Wm. G. Hartrauft also added several volumes of chil- drens books. These books will add greatly to the already good supply of
 books in the Osborn school library.
 CHRISTMAS FLUCTUATIONS. - Dwight B. Heard in recognition of the holiday season, has presented numer- ous of his patrons and friends with most pleasing tokens of appreciation in the form of purses for the carrying of money and valuable papers. They bear the card of his real estate. loan and insurance business, and an accom- panying wish that the recipients may have their full share of the increasing prosperity of the valley. of which noth- ing can be more suggestive than the commodious pocket book.
 NIGHT SHOOTING - There has been more promiscuous shooting during the last few dark nights that the po- lice consider really necessary to the health of the city and they are doing all they can to stop it. The story of a wild eyed Mexican shooter was printed a day or two ago. Early Sunday morn ing there was a similar shooting incl dent but the shooters could not be found by the officers. Last evening early there was a third shooting epi- sode that resulted in the arrest of Ce- cil Creech on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. A shot was fired through the floor in the Owl saloon. Officer Tipton entered and found Creech with a gun in his hand, which appeared to be an old rusty weapon and not one that was being regularly carried. Creech said it was accident ally discharged and his story was cor robated by others in the saloon. The officer had him place the gun behind the bar ard agree to let it stay there. A short time afterward two more shots were fired near the rear of the Rich elieu which is across the street from the Owl. The officers went there inn mediately and Officer BlOomhorst found Creech in the vicinity, though it is not believed he fired the shots. He had the gun on him though that had recently been taken away from him. so it was deemed he was at least guilty of that offense.
