Among the incoming passengers
 from the west last evening were many of the members of the local council of the Knights of Columbus who went to Phoenix several days ago to help in stall council of the order in that city.
 The local knights left Bisbee on Fri day afternoon. but on arriving at Ben- son received word that the bridge across the Gila river south of Phoenix . had been washed away, and it would probably be a week before communi- cation with the capital city by that route would be re-established. It was then decided to go to Casas Grande,
 and from there by stage to Florence, from which point it would be possible to reach Phoenix, on the Phoenix & Eastern railroad. The trip from Casas GTande to Florence was made in a stage, and through rough country, so that it was not very enjoyable. After , an eventful trip the party reached f Phoenix at 6 o'clock Sunday evening. Earlier in the day members of the Prescott council had taken the forty five Phoenician candidates through the preliminary stages of the initiation, and when the Bisbee contingent ar rived, with District Deputy Frank E. Coles, the succeeding stages of the ini- i tiation was gone through. After the initiation the new knights and the old CT members of the order adjourned to the Adams hotel, where a banquet had been prepared. At this banquet was a brilliant assembiage, including some of the foremost citizens of the terri tory.
