HOLIDAY HEADQUARTERS
 FOR PHOENIX SHOPPERS
The Great Range of Selection and Prices At BaIke's Big Curio Store.

The holiday season is just around the corner and the hardest task of the year is at hand-Christmas shopping People seldom know just what they want because they are not buying for themselves. Their task may be made lighter by the suggestions offered by variety and if that is the greater va riety. the easier the thing becomes.
 There, for instance, is Balke's Big CuriO store always famous place for Christmas shopping but this year a greater place than ever because the stock is bigger and more varied. There can be no successful attempt to de- scribe it. A personal visit is neces- sary. But there are few things that may be mentioned. certain standbys as holiday gifts, whose popularity runs along from year to year.
 The store is filled with beautiful things. some useful some antique and novel but all of them entirely season. able gifts. There. for instance is the Russian hammered brass which MT. Bake introduced to Phoenix a couple of years ago, following a tour of Eu- rope in which he made his selections at the Russian factories. For beauty and variety of design. and cheapness of price, there has never been such d display of this brass ware in the west.
 There is the ever popular Mexican drawn work. the product of the con vent of Guadalahara, of which MT. Bake has had a monopoly for years. It is agreed by experts that the art of making this drawn work has been brought by the sisters of the convent to the highest degree of perfection.
 There are many other articles of Mexican skill personally selected by MT. Bake on his tour of Mexico last summer-such as carved leather in a great variety of designs including belts purses and bags. There are also the richly colored zerapes and the delicate filigree work
 It is almost superfluous to mention the Indian line of which the Big Curio Store has made a speciality for years. being the recognized headquarters in the southwest for Navajo blankets which are bought directly from the "hogans," only the choicest being se lected. They are offered this season in greater variety than ever Then there are the Indian baskets and pot tery. the contributions of many tribes
 The Navajo silver bracelets are more popular than ever and also they are harder to obtain and in the course of a few years they will have a value far beyond their present cost.
 There are also on exhibition many Arizona novelties. such as hand-paint- ed orange wood of many designs and articles of onyx manufactured at the Indian school some years ago.
 There is as wide a range of prices as there is of selection at the Big Gu rio Store. It is the headquarters for Christmas shopping.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
 ACQUIRES NEW LAND
Quarter Section Purchased Near East. lake Park May Be Used For Yards.

The most important deal in real es- tate made during the week and one which means a great deal to the fu- ture Of Phoenix was the purchase by the Southern Pacific company of 160 acres of ground adjoining the NJ. and r. and P. and E. tracks just south of Eastlake park The Southern Pacific will establish their yards on this piece of property when further plans now under consideration are matUred.
 The land was purchased from Leon Reauvier for $2S,O0O. As the company already owns a large tract adjoining it there should be ample room for stock yards and shops. Whether the com pany intends to use this property for the purpose of yards when Phoenix is eventually placed on the main line can not be learned authoritatvely. It is rumored that work on the main line will start during the coming winter. This rumor however has been heard so of ten that little credence is placed in it. It may be said that the action of the railroad company in acquiring the present land would at least indicate future railroad development in Phoenix and vicinity.

ARRESTED FOR PASSING
 FICTITIOUS CHECKS
V. K. DrouiIlard Tries to Pass $50 Check on Business Men and Lands in Jail.

After cashing a check for BIO on the Union Bank and Trust company in which he had no deposit, and at tempting to cash a second check for $6O, V. K. Drouillard was yesterday arrested and lodged in the city jail.
 The first check was dated Dec. 1 and made payable to P. Nealis. It was drawn on the Union Bank and Trust company. Then Drouillard pre- sented the $6O check to Smith Chit tick of the H. I. Latham company, with a request that he cash it. MT. Chittick said that he did not have that amount in the cash drawer but
Arizona republican., 1908-12-06

agreed to endorse the check. He then sent Drouillard to w. l.. Carver at the Southern Pacific office.
 MT. Carver appeared reluctant to cash the check and Drouillard then went across the street to the Dwight B. Heard office. While he was talk ing to MT. Heard a member of the firm called up the bank on which the check was drawn and ascertained that there were no funds deposited there in Drouillard's name. The police were then telephoned for and Officer Troutman placed Drouillard under ar rest. It is thought that no charge will be brought against Drouillard and that he will make good the s10. Up to the last few days he has been em- ployed in the business office of the Gazette.

Mrs. Rachael Ann Richardson Brown,
recently married to John A. Brown, who
Is an octogenarian. has filed her answer
to her husbands petition to the District
Supreme Court for the annulment Of
the marriage in which the husband al
leges that the marriage ceremony was
performed without his wish or consent,
that the wife secured the marriage
license without consulting him. and that
a. the time Of the marriage he was
helpless IN bed from a stroke Of par
alysis. unable to move or speak. The
Rev. J. i. Mclaughlin married the
couple November p last.
Mrs. Browns answer is in the form
of a suit for maintenance. She says
her husband owns sac 900 in personal
property, and has an income of g, 400.
She died all the Charges of fraud in
obtaining the marrif &c. and says Brown
was possessed of his full mental facul-
ties a 1.-THE time of the marriage. She
alleges that relatives of her husband,
seeking to get possession of his prop
eTty, have instigated the suit and that
they refuse to let her see or care for
her husband. When she married Brown
she gave up a Government position that
maintained-h her.
