runaway horse on Washington street.
II was attached to buggy in which
two ladies and child were riding.
The horse was getting himself worked
into fine frenzy and had he not
been brought under subsection prompt
ly it is likely there would have been
"a narrowing story to tell of painful
ard perhaps fatal injury to somebody.
1T WAS TAME.-Jack Adams has
returned from his summer vacation in
California. The most eventful thing
to record in connection with it is the
fact that the outing was quite I'M
eventful. He caught one fish at Cat
alma and then stopped. He only
wanted to demonstrate that he could
catch fish if he wanted to, but any
body can catch fish these days and the
the pastaime is no longer "A pleasure
to the exclusive set. Nothing unusual
occurred to him, not even matrimo-
nially, and he returned home just as
he has always done year after year,
unmarried and with money in his
pocket. He has failed to find his af-
finity thus far or il successful he is
avoiding any advertisement of the
fact.
A SUDDEN DEATH.-Acting Cor
oner tombstone was called yesterday
to hold an inquest on the body of Jose
Mendibles, a six year old boy who
died on South Fifteenth avenue with
out medical attention. The child had
been sick last week and was treated
with home remedies. He was suffer-
ing of a violent fever, but in a day or
two he got better. on Monday he
went swimming in the town ditch and
yesterday was violently i'll. doctor
who had lately come from Mexico was
sent for, but when he arrived said he
could do nothing as he was not per-
mitted to practice. He was then wait
ing for the coming session of the med
zeal examination board. 1t was found
that death was the result OF natural
causes. The child died at noon. A
peculiar thing about him was his ex-
IRENE fairness of skin and hair. and
his eyes Were of light blue, notwith-
standing his nativity.
LITERATURE WANTED-The Sec
rotary of the board OF trade is receiv-
ing many requests for literature de-
scriptive of this valley and not a few
VI lHtIl guile ollt re-
ceived yesterday was from John S.
Mitchell manager of the Hollenbeck
hotel. He said that if the board would
furnish him with printed matter he
would see that a suitable case was
provided for it and that it would be
conveniently placed in the hotels in
formation bureau. He said the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce had
asked him for supply OF Arizona lit
erature but he was able to furnish only
Prescott and Tucson folders. a guam
tity was furnished Mr.. Mitchell by
Secretary Cowgirl, for present purposes
and more will be sent later. Tucson
and Prescott however are on the
ground and Phoenix should be. Mr..
Mitchell is a good friend of Arizona
and as hotel manager and secretary Of
the Hassayampa club of Los Angeles
he is a sort of a resident minister for
this territory
RETURNED FROM MOUNTAIN
TRiP.-A. NJ. Frederick and family re-
turned home Sunday evening from a
ten weeks trip in the mountains. They
visited points of interest while there,
going by the way of Prescatt. through
Flagstaff and coming back by the way
of Roosevelt. Mr.. Frederick express
ed his views OF the Tonic Basin dam.
He things ii will be a certain success,
and as to any danger of the dam ever
breaking when finished, he thinks it
would be as hard to do any damage to
the dam as to try to wash a hole
through any of the solid rock. With
mountain trout and game of all de-
scriptions, the time passed too quick
ly. The trophies of the trip are a
sample of dried venison. two pairs of
fine deer horns and two deer skins,
which will be a reminder of the air
ing which was thoroughly enjoyed.
Nothing of any importance occurred
TO mar the party's pleasure while away.
A BIG ONE, BUT IT'S THERE
The real facts concerning the climate
of the Salt River Valley are so mar
velous that ones reputation for verac-
ity is sometimes jeopardized, even
when he confines himself to the truth.
This statement is made preliminary to
the announcement that peach trees
find the climate so inspiring that some
of them go ahead and raise fruit with
out waiting the usual time and trouble
OF blooming. as is considered neces-
sary in other countries. Reuben Hill
has brought to the board of trade a
couple of twigs from an Early Craw-
ford peach tree. the twigs being heav-
lily laden with second-crop peaches
which formed on the tree after the
first crop was ripened. For this sec
ond crop the tree neglected to flower
as it did in the spring for the first
crop. The peaches are small as COM
pared with those of the first crop;
nevertheless, they are fairly good for
eating. Before Mr.. Hills contribution
another man whose address was mis-
laid by the secretary of the board,
brought in similar exhibit with the
same kind of a story. Ii sounded
rather doubtful, but when Mr. Hill
came in with a notification there was
no longer any room for doubt. 1t is
likely some people who know more
about botany than they do about Ari-
IONA climate will say this is impossi-
BILE, but when a thing is demonstrated
there is little ground left for the
doubter to stand on. Mr.. Hills sec
ond crop peaches are on exhibition
where all may see who call at the
board room.
