Cyclone Bill"

In the course of his career, Stew art Edward White has done lot of travelling, but just now he is inclined to avoid Arizona. This is the reason:
 Once he wrote a story about an Arizona terror named "Cyclone Bill, " d name somewhat familiar to readers of the best shooting border fiction. In this story White spoke of Bills accomplishments, and among them his shooting up'' piano at dance. He also described Bill as lame from a shot in the foot while being trailed for stealing horse.
 One day not long ago White re ceived a letter from Arizona from q man who signed himself ''The Real Cyclone Bill" He said: "You are wrong about the cause of my lame ness. I got hurt by falling off d horse while I was drunk But you are right about my shooting up the piano "
 This was curious coincidence, for both incidents had originated in Whites imagination.
 Not long after this White received another letter from Bill, who said: ''Siuce you wrote me up 1 think you had better divvy up with me. Send me $50"
 White immediately wrote back that he had never heard of Cyclone Bill; that he had created all the incidents out of his fancy, and that he declined to give up $50 or any other sum, whereupon he received the following communica ton:
 'I have oyerestimated your gener- osity. I don't want any charity. The next time you come to Arizona I will show you that l can shoot up other things besides pianos.

A Biz Flowing We'll.

Many visitors from all parts of the valley are reported daily at the new well of the Hot Springs oil Co. The well keeps up a steady flow of hot water, which appears to be strongly impregnated by minerals. A sample has been sent to Tucson for analysis, the result of which will determine the value of the water tor medicinal purposes.
 Every one visiting the well have drank of the water, which has d slight sally taste, though not dis agreeable. One man at the well drank two quarts of the water with out any ill effects
 The location of the well, being only five miles south of Stafford, would m ike a proposition for q sanitarium feasible. It is thought that the well could be secured and hotel erected, with swimming pool and baths in connection, besides piping the water for drinking purposes.
 Permission has been given by the Hot Springs Oil Co.,, owners of th- well, to J. NJ. Foster to erect brth houses at the well. Mir. Foster will start building at once, and no doubt the enterprise will meet with success from the start.-Guardian.

Trying Young Ladies as Street Car COu-
 ductOrS,

A special dispatch to the San An tonic Express from Guadalajara says: The Compania de Tranvias Guadala- jara is making d trial of young ladies as street car conductors. Several are employed, and they are doing their work to the satisfa ction of the public. Concerning the experiment, Manager Torres says: ''We find that the young ladies are much more hon est and courteous than the men. Their drawbacks consist of their in ability to take the place of the mo- tormen in emergencies, to handle the trolleys and eject objectionable people from the cars For that work mentioned it is necessary to hire an extra man for every car in charge of a young lady, but the additional ex- pense is probably more than offs t by the increased retuurs to the com pany."

WEBSTER STREET STRICKEN.
Former Chief Justice of Arizona Supreme
 Court Suffers Stroke Of Paralysis.

With little hope that he will eyer regain his former health should he recover from his present illness, Webster Street. former chief justice of Arizona, was brought to Phoenix from Bowie, suffering from d stroke of apoplexy which came upon him while on his way to Globe to attend a session of the district court there.
 Streets condition was such after he was stricken down that he re- quired constant attention while be- ing taken from Bowie to Phoenix, and when he reached that city he was taken to his home and physicians immediately sumuoned. ~
 Street came to Arizona from h. diana twenty-five years ago. He practiced law in Tombstone during it's palmiest days, gaining reputa- tion as a lawyer that reached into all parts of the west. Before going to Phoenix he practiced in Globe.
 Street was chief justice of Arizona under President Mckinley, retiring when President Roosevelt named Edward Kent, of Colorado, to be chief justice of the territorial court.
 The latest report from the stricken jurist's home is that there had been some improvement in his condition, and the hope is expressed that be will recover from the effects of the stroke
