MERCANTILE STOCK
 HAS CHANGED HANDS
J. B. McNeii and Carl Hayden Sell to halbert and Mrs. Albert
 Miller.

A change of considerable importance was made in the stock of the Arizona Mercantile company yesterday. J. B. McNeil disposed of his stock in the corporation to Halbert Miller, while Carl Hayden sold what interest he had in the business to Mrs. Albert Miller. Thus the entire stock of the company is now controlled by Mrs. Miller and Halbert Miller
 MT. McNeil will retire from the bus mess and Halbert Miller will assume the management. Aside from that there will be no sweeping changes in the business for the present. Mir. Me. Neil has been with the company since it's incorporation in March, 1887, with the exception of six months time which he spent at Wilcox. He has been nominally manager of the store for some years. but for the past year has been the active manager of the business. For the present he will re- main in the business until Mir Miller becomes fully acquainted with all the details His plans after that are at present rather undecided.

TAKING CARE OF THE
 HOMELESS CHILDREN
Representative of Los Angeles chari-
 table orearyxation Is Here.

Rev. A. H. Gunnett is in Mesa for a few days on his annual round of the territory looking after the interests of homeless children. He is a travelling representative of the Children's Home society of Los Angeles, phllanthropic organization which endeavors to find homeless children, care for their pres ent needs. and place them in the homes of people who want to take them and provide for their proper upbringing.
 The society has been in existence in Los Angeles for about eleven years, and for a part of that time has been looking out for the interests of Ari- zona children as well as those of Cali fornia. Tn fact, Rev. Gunnett spends nine months of every year travelling in Arizona alone. Another year he thinks it will be necessary for him to give his whole time to this territory or be provided with an assistant.
 In the year just ended the society placed 226 children in private homes where they were desired. each child being kept in the society's receiving home for thirty days on an average. In neither Phoenix nor Mesa has he found any homeless children, but In Phoenix he has had five calls recently from families who want children. He will take one child from Globe to Los Angeles. and three from Bisbee.

MAIN STREET BROKE.
 UNDER FOURTEEN TONS
Ground Over Water Pipes Yielded to
 Heavy Pressure of Generator.


 A huge wagon weighted down with a fourteen-ton generator from the power house at Roosevelt and drawn by twenty-mule team, broke through the surface of Main street over the underground pipe line at the corner of Macdonald street yesterday morning Several hours of hard labor on the part of the five men in charge of the mon- ster machine. many heavy pieces of timber. two thirty-ton jacks. and a tremendous pull by the twenty mules were exerted before the generator and its traiiers. consisting of an oil wagon and two supply carts. regained the solid roadway.
 The generator had been used in the power house at Roosevelt. but owing to the fact that other and better ma chinery had supDlanted it. it was or dered sent down to the government depot here. owing to its massive weight 1t was placed on a wagon whose bed was constructed of 12x12 timbers, whose spokes were verltable young trees, and whose tires were fully ten inches in width. The trailers were linked on behind, the twenty mules "tickled" with blacksnake and a shovel. and with a groaning of wheels and creaking of timbers the wagon train started down through the noun tains for Mesa. That was last Thurs day q week ago.
 Accidents of various kinds happened on the way. Rounding a curve in the mountains about where the Roosevelt road debouched from the river. one side of the roadbed gave down under the 2s.000 pounds of weight and the utmost efforts of men and mules were for time unavailing to pull the load out. They stayed there twenty-four hours before the wagons could be started again. At another place a cul- vert gave way. causing more hard work and delay.
 And the worst misfortunate hap penstance of the whole trip" com plained the head teamster. a tall and lank westerner, was that l busted my danged pipe, and 1t was one of the best pipes l ever see" He produced the shattered remnants for a mournful in spection and then slowed them care fully away in another pocket.
 In nine or ten places along Main street, from the Barnett residence clear down to Macdonald were deep ruts where the broad wheels rdd pushed down through the apparently solid ground over the water pipe. The drivers were unaware of the presence of the pipe underground. and kept the mules pulling straight ahead until they were unable to pull the load further. A large crowd gathered around the mer as they toiled with crowbars and blocks of wood, and felt like cheering when the long line of mules, finally strengthening out in a long. hard pull. brought the wagons out on the solid road and started them once more for their destination.

LICENSE WAS LATE
 WEDDING POSTPONED
Despite the Best Efforts of the Groom
 and the Probate Clerk.

Miss Caroline Garrison and David Goodfellow of Roosevelt were married Wednesday evening by Justice Irwin in the presence of a number of relatives and friends. Mir Goodfellow, who is in the employ of the reclamation serv- icesat Roosevelt, brought his prospect i've bride to Mesa Tuesday afternoon by stage and immediately sent a rush order over to Phoenix for license to be delivered that evening. The license clerk of the probate court obeyed the order with alacrity.
 Having filled out the necessity form with admirable speed he made the postoffice in a series of running jumps and delivered the license to a clerk with instructions to get it out on the evening train. The clerk acquiesced volunteered to put 1t in the Mesa mail sack. and then fell down on the job. Consequently while the anxious couple. their friends. and Justice Irwin were impatient!y awaiting the arrival of the license. said license was resting quiet ly in the Phoenix postoffice. It came over with the morning mail Wednes- day.
 Among those present when the carriage ceremony was performed were Miss Mary McNulty, teacher at the Tempe normal, and Miss Goodfel- low, sister of the groom. who is at- tending school at the normal. After the ceremony was concluded luncheon was given in honor of the bride and groom by Mrs. Robinson and her daughter Doris. MT and Mrs. Goodfel- low have gone over to Phoenix and will spend a few days in visiting different parts of the valley before returning to their home in Roosevelt.

DEFEAT THE PORTION
 OF HIdH SCHOOL TEAM
Town Team Scored Easily in the First
 Five Innings.

In the seven innings of very ragged playing the town team defeated the Mesa high school Wednesday afternoon by a score of to 5. And four of the high schools five runs were made in the seventh inning after the town team had tried to quit the game, had changed pitchers and otherwise all lowed its steam to escape
 Collins, the Globe pitcher, was worth real money to the town team. The high school batters found him fre- quently, but in nearly every case for short stabs to the infield only. As for Peterson, pitching for the high school. the town batters connected with his offerings most disastrouslv a number of times. This. together with a num- Der of errors, and loose playing all around. about tells the story of the game.
 Save for a lack of team work the town organization played surprisingly well, and even then it succeeded in pulling off few fast doubles at the right time. The infield was very near 1y equal to the high schools and the Outfield a trifie better. And the way

the runs piled up for the town team up to the sixth inning was something to behold.
 One thing should be said, however, physical training began to tell it's tale about the middle of the game. From then on the high school held its ground, even improved sowewhat. while the town team began to sag and hit the water bucket with increasing frequency. Had the game run the full nine innings it. is probable that the score would at least have been re- versed. But the town team was very anxious to leave the game an inning or so before it did Evening was coming on and most of the men had affairs of one sort or another to attend to be- fore going home for supper Umpire Stapley had to leave. and Collins dropped out of the box. The high school, however. insisted on chance to retrieve its fortunes. and the oppor tunity was granted
 Went into the box the1 a tall stranger whose name could not be learned. He simply stepped out of the crowd and went into the game, long armed southoaw with surprising speed but few curves. Whenever a batter of the high school connected with him the ball went sailing off across the land scape
 By a little closer fielding and by backing up each other a little better. the high school team ought to do things 10 the Phoenix high.

George =. Irwin, manager of the Free Press, returned Wednesday even ing from short business trip to Phoe- nix. While he was over there James Daley was brought before Justice Johnstone on a charge of constructive rape. It is on this charge, Justice Irwin thinks. that Daley will in the end be prosecuted. for while a jury might convict Daley for the abduction of a girl nearly F years old who had been out making her own living for con- siderable part of her life. it. could scarcely fail of conviction on the rape charge.
