 A CLOSE SHAVE-Doc. Howard, the well known sign and scenic painter of this city. who has delighted the populace for the past year with his ori- ginal and artistic signs. has again adopted the role of young man. Doc has passed the stage of foolish youth. and was adorned with a beautiful mustache which he was rightly proud of until several days ago, when he sat down to dinner with his family and proeeeded to make the best of the meal The first course of it was soup. Doc had neglected .o have his upper lip adornment trimmed for several weeks. owing to his rush of business. and he found that he could not eat his soup unless he tied his mustache to his ears. He therefore became disgustcd and the next day proceeded to the barbers and ordered a clean shave. This was d surprise all the way around. not only to the barber. but to his family, when ne returned home, and 1t is said on good authority that his wtfe refused him entrance to the house, thinking he was some young fellow who wished to gain entrance in order to sell q book or a potato peeler. Doc is greeting his friends today and feels as chipper as a young colt, he says he feels as If he had lost about ten years of his life on account of the mustache, but owing to the dignity of his position he will be obliged to let 1t grow out again.
 THE RETURN OF SAM BARRETT Sam Barrett had a good many friends in Phoenix who were glad to see him back yesterday morning after a resi- dence of Yuma for something more than a year and he was glad to get back and note the improvements which have taken place in this little old vil- lage notwithstanding the lack of his CO., operation. Sam, when he was "at himself' was a very good citizen and was always liked His misfortune was not attended by that disgrace which usually goes with such episodes. There was general understanding that what ever was done to him was done for his own protection as much as for society's and he has been benefited by it more than society has. He is in bet ter health and has a clearer vision than he had before and he also has a de- termination always to be "at himself.

WHEEL REcOVERED-The bicycle No. 6-5792 which was turned over to the police last week having been found in front of one of the Washington street stores and of which mention was made in this paper at the time, has been returned to it's owner Stephen Cota called at headquarters yesterday afternoon and said he had left the wheel on the curb for a few moments and when he returned it had been talk en. He noticed the advertisement in The Republican and unidentified the wheel at headquarters as his. It is supposed that some one rode his wheel off by mistake and upon finding that he had the wrong wheel returned it and left it on the curb, taking his own wheel in exchange. In the meantime COta had missed his wheel and gone his way.

The National association of hardware deal CTS was in annual convention in New York town. and had arranged a big banquet which he was specially invited to address, being in those days iaboring strenuously in the irrigation cause As he arose to speak the entire 400 hard ware men and their assembled wives, at a signal from the leader began sing ing the same song, "Oh how dry l am" MT. Maxwell said it was a little em- barrassing for a minute but he calmly waited his turn and before he got through he got everything he expected out of the assemblage, and more to. in addition to the good will of everybody.
 PROBABLY FATALLY HURT--A Mexican named Andrada Arosa was dangerously and probably fatally hurt yesterday afternoon in collision be- tween his bicycle and a wagon. And drada was coming out of the alley be- tween Adams and Monroe street in the rear of the O'Neill building, riding a wheel, and either ran into or was run into bv team the name Of whose driver has not been learned. The pre- sumption is that Andrada was careless for the reason that he was under the influence of liquor and unless he had been would hardly have had such a collision. But what ever the facts, he was thrown from the wheel, and fright fully injured in the back of the head. the-blood gushing from his wounds and apparently from his ears.

 MRS. A. J. MOORE RETURNS Mrs A. J. Moore who has been on a visit to Yuma for a few days has re- turned to the city. It was the inten- ton of Mrs. Moore to spend several weeks in Yuma, but owing to the fact that her mother Mrs. s. D. Mccullough decided to go to RhyOlite to visit her daughter Mrs. Jno.
