SMITH ALLEN.
The Quiet Wedding Last Week of Two
Well Known People.

Lewis H. Smith and Miss Pearl AL
len of this place were married in Phoe-
nix last week by Probate Judge Phil
lips So quietly was the matter han
died that it was not generally known
until yesterday that the wedding had
occurred. and Mr.. Smiths friends in
town were not aware of the happy
event even then. until he was found
buying a quantity Of cigars in antici-
patton of the visit Of some neighbors
last evening.
Both the bride and the groom are
well known Tempe people. The bride
came here about a year ago from Ohio,
while Mr. Smith has resided in this
vicinity for several years past. He
recently purchased the c. H. Rich
ranch in the Kyrene district and he
and his wife viii make their home
there.

DEPARTS FROM TEMPE
AND WILL NOT RETURN
A Jail Sentence and a 500 Fine Being
the Cause.

s f. Allen who for several years
past has been a resident of Tempe, off
and on, will probably never see the
town again. He left last night for
parts unknown, and the circumstances
of his departure are such that he will
probably retain no longing memory for
dear old Tempe in his mind. He is
no doubt thanking his lucky star that
he was given a chance TO leave at all
The story is something like this:
Mr. Allen on one or two occasions has
drank too long Of the cup that cheers,

Water Works Question.

There was a short session of the

meet Mr.. Roundtree of the Water
Works Co. Views we're exchanged
between Mr.. Roundtree and the
council, and between and 1t was
finally agreed that MIR. Roundtree
would return to Chicago and con.
suit with his company, prepare a
statement of the value of this plant.
and its income and expense account
including yearly repairs, extern
sions. and submit them to the
council with an application for a
new franchise. The council in
our opinion are not disposed to
either. buy or build a new plant,
but at the same time will find out
whether we are paying too much
for water and if we are, how much
too much. Our opinion is that q
franchise will be finally granted
and that our water rates will be
considerably reduced

Of feed. too long fasting, food given
when the horse is exhausted, new hay

Every horse owner should keep

attack of collie is liable to come on
without warning at any time, and
