MCCONNELL FOUND CHECKS.

Dan Mcconnell, who came to this place Thursday afternoon from Thompspn's camp on the Roosevelt
 road, and reported the next morning that he had been robbed of two gov ernment checks while asleep in his room. has at last been put in close communion with his 'T owe you's" Shortly after Mcconnell left the camp the checks were found where he had laid them out preparatory to putting them in his purse and the Phoenix of- flee was notified. Mcconnell how ever was not aware that his checks would be in on the next mail; in fact, he did not know that he had lost them until he had revived from the glare of the electric lights and he immediately imagined that he had been bodily. personally and fatally robbed. He left here yesterday morning swearing ven- geance on the town in general and the man who robbed him in particular He could not be convinced of anything else than that he nj been robbed and he was so sure of it that he made noise like a wicked man every time he thought of it.

 The all-important question of mails again comes to the front as is always the case where there is rain of any du- ration. The last eastern mail or any kind aside from local, to arrive here, came in late Thursday afternoon. There being no trains yesterday, of course there was no mail and there is no means of telling when there will be. Temporarily the mail is being sent out north and is made up here at o'clock. II is probable that if the damage to the Gila bridge is as ser ious as reported. mail will come in from the north in few days.

A ROUNDABOUT WAY.

It. was a sore" party of cattle buy CTS that took the noon train yesterday for. Florence. intending to ferry the Gila there and return to their homes. Messrs. Hodges. BalsZ and AngUlo had between them five cars Of cattle in the yards here yesterday morning that had been weighed and paid for. It was the intention of the shippers to send them out on the first train yes terday and as they were all consigned across the Mexican line to be used at the break in the Colorado. where there is a big demand for beef they had all been inspected. The damage to the Gila bridge made it necessary for the buyers to turn them out to pas ture again, and rather than spend an indefinite amount of time in the val ley, they left by a roundabout way.

There is no cut that ever supplants this simple one. It is absolutely be- coming to childish figures. it. is simple and takes admirable lines and cOnse- quently fulfiIIs all the requirements of a garment of the sort. This one is made of a plaid cheviot with velvet col lar but dark red and dark green and brown cloths are greatly in vogue. both the plain finished and the rough ones. while mixtures show infinite variety and numberless combinations so that there is nearly no limit to the choice allowed each individual. Velvet collars are always pretty but a novelty of the season is the use of smooth finished cloth on rough while velvet coats with collar also are much in vogue for more dressy occasions.
 The coat is made with fronts and back, the fitting being accomplished by means of shoulder and under-arm seams. There are pockets that are finished with big laps and the fronts are faced to form the lapels while the collar is joined to the neck. The sleeves are in regulation coat style and are gathered at their upper edges.

forenoon, apparently harder in town than in the country south, Tor Mir. Simmons reports a rainfall at the date orchard of but .26 inches. while there are parties here who insist that more water than that fell in town during one of the hardest showers. Most of the time during the rain. there was a hard wind and it was extremely cold. When about noon the clouds lifted and it cleared a little, snow was in evidence on nearly all the mountains in sight, some of them but a few miles distant. Later in the afternoon, the sun came out for short time.
