RETURNED TO FLAGSTAFF

RE ORNED TO FLAGS Arr Miss Amy L. Hansen of Flagstaff, who has been visiting MT. and Mrs. L. w. Collins for the past week, returned home yesterday morning.
 A SUDDEN DEATH-A telephone was received yesterday morning from the Relief mine saying that Ed Hollis ter had died there suddenly the even ing before. The cause of death was believed to be pneumonia. Hollister had just arrived in camp from Phoe- nix a short time before his death. He had been drinking heavily. It was thought at the camp that the services of a coroner might be required. Act ing Coroner Burnett ordered that the body be brought to the city. Hollister was quite we'll known about town and was a member of the Spanish War Veterans
 FOR FREE DlSTRIBUTION-Th secretary of the board of trade still has on hand a large number of copies of the special edition of the Los Angeles Examiner, devoted largely to the southwest which he is anxious to give away to all who apply. People don't really have to apply for there are so many of them they are in the way and if MT. Van der Veer should eaten somebody stealing one he would con siderately close his eyes. It is a big paper and full of interesting reading matter, even though the date is two or three weeks back. Much Of the mat ter is as good one date as another.
 OLD OFFENDERS-Dieg April was before Justice Burnett yesterday for drunkenness and disturbance of the peace. He was sent to jail for seven days The same kind of a sentence was imposed upon Dan Moore who was before the court a few days ago for drunkenness. At that time he said it was his first offense; that he was hard working man and had a job awaiting him. The sentence was ac- cordingly suspended. Yesterday Moore offered the same kind of a plea but the court informed him that it was not the practice of that court to be lenient to the same man twice in succession.
 INCREASING POSTOFFlCE BUSI- NESS-The general receipts of the Phoenix postoffice for the month of December, amounted to S4,250. which is S533 in excess of December, 1904, The largest months business of any preceding year. $533 will pay for a good many postage stamps and indicates something of the increase in the volume of business transacted, for no doubt the incoming mails were proportionately just as much heavier than before, as were the outgoing mails. At the present time there is still some congestion in the mails as delayed holiday stuff is still arriving, though the local trains are running regularly.
 AN UNGRATEFUL WRETCH- Here is story of the basest ingrati- tude. John Carter who is here for the winter for his health has cheap room in the southern part of the city which he meagerly furnished himself. Near the close of the fair he met a man who had been acting as a policeman about the side show called the Russian Prince The side shows at the fair did not do very we'll so there was nothing to pay the policeman. Though Carter never learned the name of the man he in vited to his room to sleep seeing that he had no money to pay for lodging anywhere else. The next morning when they left the room Carter locked the door and went away. When he re- turned he found it empty. There had been little to take away except the bed and the stove and they were gone. Carter afterward found them at a sec ond hand store and from the descrip- ton of the man who sold them Carter knew that his guest was the man. He made complaint to the officers yester- day morning but it is probable that the Russian Prince policeman left town the night before.
