He grew wilder as the afternoon waned and be- gan stopping people on the street and asking them in a threatening man. ner if they wanted anything of him. At the same time he thrust his hand into the breast of his shirt as if to draw a gun. His conduct was report ed to the office of the sheriff and Deputy Adams and Bob Davis went out to investigate him. They had lit- tie trouble in finding him. They were accosted by him but they watched him until he made another break and then arrested him. There was a hot fight in which a half dozen citizens joined before the man could be overpowered. It was warm day for violent exer else and by the time the prisoners had been landed in jail the posse was worn out

 A BUSINESS vAckTION-Judge J. NJ. Burnett left yesterday evening for San Francisco where he will enjoy a brief vacation mingling business and pleasure in about equal parts. He will shortly return to Phoenix but for not long as he will then go to Los Angeles and other points in Southern Califor- mia where he will spend the rest of the hottest season.
 GONE AFTER A MILliON-Dick Wick Hall has gone to Los Angeles on business connected with mining prop critics in which he is interested in west ern Arizona. He would like to get million but will probably do business on a smaller basis if necessary. Even a half million would, help some in the development of that section.
 NOT SUNDAY DRIvE-In yester- days issue mention was made of rabbit drive near Peoria that is de- signed to be the biggest one ever pull ed off. There was a mixing of the dates. It was announced that the drive would be on Sunday, July l2. The date was right but the day was wrong. The drive will be on Friday, July 12, and the whole world is in- vited to turn out if it wants to.
 A MOMENToUS QUESTION: Phoenix Camp of the Modern Wood- man of America will meet this evening in the K. P. hall. A large attendance is desired as the question Will we spend the Fourth in Tempe or Pres colt" will be debated. The discussion promises to be heated and the mem bers are requested to leave their fire arms at home.
 FOUND WHAT WAS NOT LOST Somebody or other person under the impression that he had discovered something which had been thrown away by the owners as worthless to him. yesterday caused the Berryhill company great deal of trouble. It was a picture frame for the printing of negatives of photographs. It had negative in it and was being ex- posed to the sun on the east side of the building. When the operator thought it had been exposed long enough he went after it, but has not since seen it. The negative belonged to a customer. perhaps 'an amateur photographer who will refuse to be consoled.
 PROSTRATED BY A WATER MEION-An old Mexican by the name of Orosco who is sometimes employed by the city. was a pretty sick hoInbre last night, but it is thought he will be all right today. He gorged himself with watermelon about noon then un- dertook to work in the hot sun in the afternoon and was overcome and taken to his home at 18th avenue and Polk street. His mistake was not in eating the-watermelon but in attempt ing to work.

Return of the Pigeon.

Stories Of the return" of the pas
senger pigeon have been printed of
late in many parts Of the country,
and now enjoy, we believe, the
credence of competent ornithologists.
A letter from Minnesota records that
"Woodsmen report hundreds of them
along the Cloquet River, in st. Louis
County, and colonies have also ap-
peared, 1t is said, in the Wisconsin
woods, north of Superior. Last spring
flock was seen in Presque Isle Park,
at Marquette, Mich, by the caretaker.
who, when a young man, had killed
many OF the birds, and he recognized
the species at once"
Why these interesting native birds
disappeared is easy enough to under
stand when one reads the accounts of
the wholesale methods that were
used for their slaughter forty or fifty
years ago. No species ever came
nearer to complete extinction. But
we have not seen a gradual increase
in numbers during the years when
bird-lovers have been wishing these
pigeons back. Roughly speaking, we
have seen nothing at all of them for
thirty years, and now that they have
come, 1t is in the large fiocks which
were characteristic in the old days.
Where have they been during the
years OF recuperation? In South
America. 1t is suggested; but did any
one see them there?

produced some remarkable results In

a change has come over country

colleges are aiding normal schools

experts are preparing textbooks, bull

discuss these matters and school
journals and agricultural papers are

movement for better rural schools
and more instruction related to their
