THE PASSING OF
 4 MESA PIONEER
The Death on Friday of Mrs. J. w. Bailey.

Mrs. J. w. Bailey. who has been a resident of Mesa for the past seven teen years, was buried yesterday af- ternoon in the Mesa cemetery. Mrs. Bailey has been in very delicate health for long time and two years ago her husband purchased a home in the country and the two old folks moved out where they could be more quiet and away from the noise. The condition of Mrs. Bailey continued to grow worse until Friday evening at 6:3O o'clock when she passed away from the effects of dropsy.
 MT. and Mrs. Bailey came to the Salt River valley eighteen years ago and lived one year in Phoenix. They then came to this place where later Mir Bailey started what is now the Holladay Drug store. No children were born to MT. and Mrs. Bailey, but they adopted a son, Ellsworth Bailey. who has been to them as their own child. The deceased with her hus- band united with the Mormon church since coming to this place. The fun eral services yesterday were under the auspices of the Mormon church.

ToGGERY JOHNSON HOME FROM
 THE COAST

After a scamper up and down tho coast with now and then a plunge ir the salt water, Geo. A. Johnson, the proprietor of the Toggery, returned home yesterday considerably improv- ed in health and a firm believer in the summer climate of southern Cali fornia. Mrs. Johnson and the chil- dren as well as Mrs. L. B. Johnson will remain at Santa Monica until after the summer season.
 In speaking of his trip it was near ly impossible for Mir. Johnson to keep away from the Elks' convention which shook the western coast of the United States for upwards of a week He was loud in his praises of the manner in which the Los Angeles people entertained and unhesitatingly pronounced the convention as one of the most elaborate things in that line that he had ever seen.
