Will McCauley, machinist working for the government, left this morning by stage to Mesa. MT. McCauley will visit his brother and mother who are running the Alhambra at that place and also get acquainted with a bran new sisterin-law which his brother Dan is responsible for and who Will did not know anything about until he saw it in the paper.
