 THE TICKETS CAME BAcK-The last chapter In the experiences of H. A. Martyr of London. England. rela- tive to the loss of s45O. some valuable papers and his railroad tickets. was written yesterday. when by mail he received a package bearing a Phoenix postmark. which contained the papers and the railroad tickets. but no mon- ey. The former was of no value to the party who took the property but the latter he evidently thought he could use in his business. There was no clew to the sender. and no remarks in writing of any kind After the loss of the property mentioned Mir. Martyr advertised in the Republican under a Lost heading. offering a liberal re- ward for it's return.

Martyr does not consider the capital city of Ari- zona any worse than elsewhere simply because of his experiences here. for the same thing might have occurred in any other spot on the face of the globe. Otherwise his enforced stay in the city has been very pleasant and he thinks the valley is a fine place wherein to dwell He will leave in a few days for San Francisco.
