A STRANGER IN MESA
 AND THEY TOOK HIM IN
An Ancient HoId-up Trick Played on
 Ferguson.

Late on last Saturday night a man who's name it is understood is Fergu-
 son was the victim of a neatly planned hold up.
 Arriving on Saturday afternoons stage from Roosevelt, he had been in
 Mesa but a few hours when he met 1 two young men, who evidently, accord
 ing to later developments, made it their business to ascertain where he was from and how much money he had on his person. After some cOnYersa tion, one of the men disappearet Band Ferguson and his other acquaintance continued walking west on Main street. When near the Mullen residence, both men were confronted by a man with a gun. ard ordered to throw up their hands. stating that they were under arrest. Ferguson was the first one to
 be attacked and was told to turn over whatever he had in his possession in
 the way of money and valuables, which iamounted to about three hundred dol lars, as Ferguson had just received his salary for work done at Roosevelt. Ferguson's companion in the meantime stood with his hands in the air, watch
 ing the operations.
 As soon as the pretended officer had relieved Ferguson of his possessions he
 turned to his companion who said. 'I suppose you. want what l have tOO?" and upon being answered in the af-
 firmative. said, Well you'll have to catch me to get it. and immediately
 started on a run, with his partner
 close at his heels. Fergusonl after
 waiting for several minutes to learn the
 outcome, finally came to the conclusion
 that he had been made the victim of
 plot, hastened back to town and in
 formed Marshal Peterson of what had
 happened. The marshal immediately
 started in pursuit of the highwaymen.

GREAT CONFIDENCE
 IN GLOBE DISTRICT
N. s. Berray, One of Arizona's Best
 Mining Men, Believes in Its Future.

N. s. Berray of Long Beach, Cal, was a Phoenix visitor Saturday, com ing here from Globe and leaving for the south in the evening. Though | his home is now in Long Beach, Mir. Berray is in reality an Arizonian and has been for the last quarter of a century. For many years he was foreman and superintendent re- spectively of the old Dominion copper mine in Globe and most of the inn portant development of that great property until year ago was done under his direction. He is now prac- tically out of the mining business in those parts, though he has some in7 terest in claims and partly developed properties He is, however, engaged with others in the development of the Anderson & Apache property near the line between Arizona and New Mexico
 MT Berray's chief business inter ests at this time are commercial be- ing largely concerned in the Old DO- minion Commercial company and other merchandising enterprises in Globe. It is hardly likely that he will ever divorce himself from Ari- ZOna and her interests, wherever he may chance to make his home. Speak ing of Globe yesterday, Mir. Berray said it was the best town on the Pacific coast and in his opinion has a great future. It is no longer a one-mine camp, for several large or ganizations of capital are doing things on a great scale and the real devel- opment of that section has only ge- gun.
 The Black Warrior property is be- ing exploited by a reorganization of the old stockholders and seems des- tined to become a big mine. There is a vast quantity of rich ore in sight and the future looks bright. The Miami mine, in the little red hills south of the Black Warrior, is just now a promising enterprise The ore is of a concentrating character similar to that at Morenci, though it is said to be richer and the supply is enormous. The Keystone and other nearby properties are equally as rich in the indications of future pros perity.

A two or three-year old must have about three months rest at best, but this vacation can also be regulated to a certain extent by proper feeding. By feeding the heavy breeds very light during June and July. that IS keeping them so poor that they lay no eggs during that period and then commence feeding heavy in August. your hens will commence laying very well by September and keep it up practically all winter, by paying close attention to matching and feeding one can materially increase the winter egg production and lessen the mortality among the young.

A SURPRISE PARTY.

On Saturday evening last, an en- joyable surprise party was given for Leo Hilbert at his parents ranch home south of town. There was a large crowd of the young friends of MT.

CANAL COMPANY MEETING.

The annual meeting of the Tempe canal company was held Saturday in the Odd Fellows hall and was a very quiet proceeding. The business of the occasion was transferred quickly and consisted in the reelection of the same board of'directors that had served last year. namely, I. V. Stewart, C. c. Jones and Niels Peterson. the appointment of the same auditing committee and the accordance of the reports of the various officers. These reports showed a little heavier asscss~cnt than the last one due to the many improve ments that have been made the nast summer to the canal system: they likewise showed the company to be in It's usual first rate condition finan cially.

4 GALA NIGHT At
THE OPERA HOUSE

With the boxes at t'The Man of the
Hour" flied with the white uniforms
of the officers of the Atlantic feet and
the orchestra stalls filled with the local
society people dressed in the manner
which has made Honolulu famous to all
who visit here there should be a bril-
liant spectacle on Thursday night.
That the play viii be well patronized
goes without saying, as has been shown
bv the advance SALE The attendance
of the officers alone is enough of a
drawing card to bring the local people
in large numbers.
The play, which is being produced
by the company which is headed by w.
D. Adams and Miss Mclean, is a
strong one all through, with just
enough humor sprinkled through it to
keep a laugh ready and the interest in
the action still intense. 1t is play
which is so interesting from start TO
finish that the audience has scarcely
time to applaud. Major George Pot
ter, who has the part of Phelan, the
Irish alderman, sizes up Horrigan, the
central figure of the play, neatly, when
he makes the statement, "Yis, he's a
game bu-r-rd, but he flies quare. -
Horrigan is a strong character, but y
CRATER from first to last. He knows
that it is against the law, but also
knows how he may escape, through
owning the judges and juries. His
downfall, after the long fight with the
Mayor CIV. D. Adams), is bit of
work which is well staged and most
realistic.
The seats are now on sale at Wall,
Nichols store, at the popular prices of
IS. 80 and 25 cents.
