BASKET SOClAl-The basket So
ciai that was to have been given in
the Isaac school house on the even
ing of the 31st. has been postponed to
the evening of Nov. LIST. The social is
to be for the benefit of the school.
A KANSAS VlSITOR.-Miss Ethel
Baldwin arrived here recently from her
home in Beloit, Kansas. to visit her
sister, Miss Eda Baldwin. Miss Ethel
is very much pleased with Phoenix
and believes it is a great country. She
says that people in the vicinity of her
Kansas home hear but very little about
Arizona, and when they do learn the
facts they are never satisfied until they
come here.
THE DEPARTURE OF MR.. Gov
ETTE.-One of the most impressive
and touching incidents that ever oc-
CURED at the Vi. & p. depot took place
on Friday evening. when many MEM
bers of Central church went down to
bid farewell to Rev. Govette. Without
any Encouragement whatever they
almost unconsciously surrounded the
platform of the car and sang each
from his heart that old hymn, God Be
With You Till We Meet Again" At
its conclusion Mr.. Govette came out
upon the platform and pronounced a
benediction upon them.
THE CiENEGUITA SUIT-The case
of Thomas f. Parish against the Glen
eguita Copper company which has
been before the court in one form or
another for several months, will come
up. The object OF the suit is in part
TO invalidate the proceedings by which
the property of the Arizona corpora
ton was transferred TO the Nevada
corporation. Eugene s. Ives for the
defendant arrived yesterday. Col. T.
F. Wilson and Mr.. Parish are also in
the city.
SPECIAL FAIR DAYS-There has
been a slight changing Of the fair
program as published in the cata-
logue. which visitors should take note
of. That is in respect of Indian day.
which the catalogue states will be
Friday. owing to the great number of
other events on that day 1t has been
decided to give the Indians the right
of way on Thursday instead. Thurs
day will therefore be known as Indian
day instead of Friday The high
school athletic contests or field day
exercises will occur on Wednesday,
otherwise known as Prescott day.
TO DECORATE STREETS-There
will be a meeting of the business men
this afternoon at o'clock al the board
of trade room TO consider the matter
OF street decorations during the fair.
1t is believed the town should take
enough pride in this event to spend a
few dollars for putting on a festival
appearance during the fair season. 1t
is not designed TO make an expensive
decoration but the hanging of stream
ers from the wires and across the
streets in an inexpensive yet effective
way Will add a great deal to the ap-
pearance of things and indicate a hos
pitable feeling toward the thousands of
visitors that are expected at the fair.
This of course is aside from and in add
dition to whatever decorating individ-
ual firms and householders may feel
like indulging in and it is expected
there will be many who will decorate
their places on their own account.
THINKS HE is PuRSuED-There
is a pitiable case at the city hall in
the person of 4 Hebrew who was TAX
en- into custody last evening by Capt.
Hi Mcdonald in the belief that he is
a dangerous man to be at large. He
is undoubtedly insane but whether
temporarily or permanently is yet to
be determined. He was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Marshal Moore
but released later as he appeared to be
all right at the time. He returned to
his lodgings in the Vermont house and
last evening the landlady again re-
ported to the officers saying the man
was quite violent, when he was locked
up. He said there Was going to be a
big fight at the lodging house and
everybody was going 10 be killed. He
had no weapons but it was feared that
in his rawlings he might grab anything
at hand and begin fighting, as he sup
posed, in self defense. He told Capt.
Mcdonald that he was struck over
the head in a riot in San Francisco
sometime ago and it is believed this
incident if true is the cause of his
condition. His hallucinatio n is that
somebody is after him all the time
trying to kill him. He says he was in
Prescott a short time but his enemies
caught up with him and he fled to
Phoenix for safety. He has been here
for three days and says he was all
right until yesterday when his enemies
began TO arrive again. The officer
thought he might be drug victim but
made a careful examination of his eff
fects and a search for the effects of a
needle but nothing indicating this fact
was found. He is very well behaved
except for the constant fear that he is
likely at any time to have to make a
fight for his life.
