 A MESA BUILDING CONTRACT The Phoenix Concrete company yes tterday entered into a contract with II. L. Chandler and the Mesa Realty company for the construction of re- inforced concrete building. It will lcover exactly as much ground as the

 was further gladdened yesterday morn ing by tlTe arrival of a pair of twins, both boys. This makes, or granatical- lily speaking, these make eight or the
 Peterson children and Ben is still com- lparatively a young man. No increase of the price of a shine has yet been lannounced but on the contrary GUS toners yesterday said that they got d lmore than usually brilliant polish for

 BANK CALL ISSUED-Auditor | Sims Ely was informed by wire yes
 terday by the comptroller of the cur ] rency. that he had issued a call for | report of the condition of all the na-
 tional banks in the territory, at the
 close of business July 15. Mir Ely ! thereupon issued a similar call to the | territorial banks and building and loan 1 associations. It has only been a short
 time since the banks made a report
 and there is no purpose on the part of
 the auditor to put them to unusual or | unnecessary trouble. However it has ] been a recent practice for the auditor
 and the comptroller to cooperate in l the matter of call as it is more sat
 isfactory for all interests to have the | reports of all the banks. territorial and | national, made at the same time It | gives a better line on financial condi- | tions and enables financiers to judge
 of them more accurately. As the comptroller made the call the auditor has elected to cooperate as hitherto.
 AN AlRDOME JOSH-A well known Phoenix man, who has d wife and numerous children, laid himself liable i to a charge of attempted bigamy Thursday night at the Airdome theat- CT, through accepting an offer of mar riage. He still insists that the crime was avoided only by the fact that the lady in the case grew faint hearted and pulled back the string she had at tached to her leapyear proposition. It was a romance Of short duration but it was right to the point and no words were minced or wasted. A handsome young artist of the Airdome company was pulling off a monologue when she hesitated and looking straight at the meekeyed patriarch said: "Will you marry mc2' r. vas so long since he had heard anything of that sort so tersely put that Mir Blank was in doubt as to his own identity and he said: Who, me-" Receiving an affir- native and instantaneous response he answered: You bet your life I will just climb off that platform" He was so much in earnest he forgot all about his present family obligations until the show was half over and now he is threatening to bring an action for breach of trust. He started out for d breach of promise suit but the lawyer refused to take the case for fear he would be an accessory before the fact in a case of bigamy in the event the lddE CnanSeQ ner nllnu dSdln ana made him marry her. The identity of the Phoenix man is not revealed but ev- erybody, including the reporter, knows who it is and the latter has been bribed to keep his mouth shut
