RETURNS ID TEMPE
 WITH CLEAN RECORD
LEFT HERE IN THE CUSTODY OF
 AN OFFICER.
His Case Never Came to Court and
 the Matter Was Dropped.

Bert George, a former resident of Tempe, again calls this place home. having returned here last week from Arkansas, after an absence of nearly year.
 Mir George, it will be remembered, was d trusted emplOye of the Pacific Creamery company up to the time Of his departure for Arkansas. When he left it was not of his own accord, but under the care of the deputy sheriff of his home county. He was arrested here one afternoon most unexpectedly upon rather unpleasant charge. much to the regret of his friends. He was not especially alarmed over the situation, however, and contented that there was d mistake and that in due time it would be corrected. All of this seems to have been the case, for in due course of time, the matter was entirely dropped and never even brought up for trial Mir George was released from custody and after a visit at his old home, returned to Tempe with his name as clean as it ever was.
 In view of subsequent events, Mir. George regards the whole affair as a rather fortunate one. About six weeks before his return to Tempe he was married and plans to have Mrs. George join him here in a short time. He has again taken a position at the creamery and proposes to become a permanent resident of Tempe.

WicEenburg, June 2O.-(Special cor respondence of The Republican, )- Wickenburg's first city election is over. It will go down in history as one of the closest ever held anywhere. There was much cheering and as d whole Wickenburg is well pleased with the results. Henry Cowell, our first may or of WickenbUrg, and one of it's most prosperous citizens, was elected on the citizens ticket by majority of only five votes. The Republican received it's first message by long distance re garding the results, but was In error on some points. The following is d correct account of the election: John Bachtiger, F. Garcia, L. H Widmeyer of the citizens ticket, and R. w. Bax- ter of the Peoples ticket were elected city CouncIlmen. Mir. Widmeyer has the distinction of getting the highest number of votes, siXty-nine, which is eight more than the mayor received. R. w Baxter has the honor of being the only man elected from the peoples ticket, beating J. Wisdom of the citi- zens' ticket by ten votes.

TWENTY BLOCKS OF
 CEMENT SIDEWALKS AND ELEVEN CEMENT WALKS. The Greater Part of Which Is the Result of the Past Years Prog ressiveness on the Part of
 Tempe People.
AND ELEVEN CEMENT WALKS.

That Tempe has made rapid strides dent on all sides and the fact that the city now boasts nearly twenty blocks of cement sidewalks without a break, is good evidence of the pro- gressive spirit that prevails among the residents. All the cement walk has been put in at the expense of the property owners and if figured up in dollars and cents, would make nice total, for cement work is not as cheap here as it is in some places. This walk varies in width from F to feet, though very little of it is of the more narrow width, and about 75 per cent of it has been constructed within the past twelve months; in addition to these cement walks eleven cement crossings have been construct ed across streets and alleys, all at the expense of the town. man may now make a tour of thirteen blocks on either side of Mill avenue without once touching his feet to the ground, every foot of that distance may be covered on cement walks, by doubling back on the side streets.
 That it has added materially to the appearance of the town is admitted by all and that every piece of prop erty that has had a cement walk placed in front of it has been en- hanced in value much more than the actual cost of the walk is an accept ed theory Every cent so expended is money well spent. Let the good work go on. Tempe already boasts more cement walks than any other town of it's size in the territory and more will be built within the next year.
 It is not too much to also predict that within another year or so, the four blocks on Main street will be curbed. This is quite necessary, but the property owners having done as well as they have this year. can not be expected to do a great deal more The curbing will come in time, how ever, and that time will not be long.
 The city has intimated that it will not construct any more cross walks, either. for time, not at least until another tax has been collected, but there is no more for criticism on that score: the town has done it's share, the property owners have done theirs and altogether Tempe may be justi- fled in reaching around and batting its own back just a little

The. Mullen party is making prepar- ations to leave about the middle of this week on its annual camping trip
 to Mormon Lake and vicinity. Ju-t when the party leaves, depends large ly upon when C. NJ. Mullen gets his crop of beets harvested and he is now bending every effort with that object in view.

 This annual trip has become a habit with the Mullens and they could no more keep from going to Mormon Lake each summer than a duck could keep form swimming About the time the first electric fan begins to make a noise, Uncle Joe begins over hauling the camping paraphernalia. The other members of the different Mullen families begin to do likewise and in the course of q few weeks, all is in readiness. Last year the party numbered about twenty. This year it will be about the same size, probably before the summer is over. Post master Mullen will go with the first detail and after spending month will return to take charge of the office while Miss Lottie Mullen, who will be in charge during his absence, will join the party at the lake.

Both Sides Play Listlessly in Practice
Contest, with Few Good Fea-

Match
Polytechnic 10, U. S. C. 8

The Polytechnic high school team,
which has been invincible in the In
terscholastic league so far this sea-
son, defeated the u. S. c. varsity ag-
gregation by a score of 10 to 3 on the
Southern California University dia-
mond yesterday afternoon. Tompkins
twirled a heady game for Poly and
got good support from both in and
outfielders. The game was more of a
practice contest than real game, and
as the teams of neither tried to play
up to it's regular standard, it would be
an impossibility to determine which
nine is superior.
Owing to the illness of Monk Pierce,
shortstop, Manager Leroy Strang took
this station. Strang sent the sphere
out for three-bagger, which was al
most a home run.
Although Strang, as postgraduate,
is ineligible for interscholastic base
ball games, no protest was made since
he displaced another player against a
college aggregation.
Bibo, who was supposed to play the
second station, was on the hospital list
and viewed the game from the side
lines. Trait played in his place and
made good in all stages of the game.
"A return game will be played this
afternoon.
