Mrs Curtis had promised that she would keep the children at the Crit tenton home until the date of the hearing, but taking advantage of the excitement on July f she fled with them to Mesa, making the trip in a buggy.
 Marshall Peterson was asked to ar. rest the woman in Mesa, but when he went in search Of her learned that she had just left that place, but was unable to learn where she had gone Not until later was 1t learned that she had gone to Tempe and there taken the train for Marieopa.

She ! is at least guilty of contempt oi court in taking the two children out of the jurisdiction of the court i Mrs. Curtis has the two children of her daughter.

takes them under consideration.
 According to the announcement which was sent the Douglas Don the tournament will start on October 2s and continue nine days. ending on November 6. Prizes of 5000, $500 and s45O are offered to the clubs fla ishing first, second and third. The entrance fee is $50 and each club must pay it's own expenses. Those expenses would average. including transportation. something like $500 or more, so that winning first prize would not make a very large purse to be divided among the Demons if they should compete and repeat last years victory.
 The management has gone against the Cactus league agreement as to new players, coming after SeDtem' Der 1. to play in such a tournament This would throw 1t open. as last year. to the hiring of American and National league pitchers and players .It does not seem fair to the players who have gone through the season Bringing new players means trans portation expenses and a smalluel pot for the all-season players tC share in. If the idea is carried out the signed agreement of the Cactu: league clubs is utterly abrogated and this agreement the Fl Paso manage ment signed.

Mcdowell and the Vulture mine, near Wiekenburg, the Apaches were very dangerous and the only white man our party met for 150 miles was a man named White who owned a small Touring mill some distance from Maricopa Wells, within the safety of the Pima Indians. who were about 1900 strong. and who fought and whipped the Apaches of ten. and whose boast it was that they had never killed a white man. The Maricopas numbered about 1,5eo, and these and the Pimas were friend fly and intermarried, but each spoke different language.
 ! I stayed over at the Vulture mine ltwenty-four hours. in March. 1867, and was greatly interested, as 1t was the first gold mine and the first stamp mill l ever had seen. The owners were taking out lots of gold and gave me a little fine cube and I free gold specimen of quartz, which in 1877 I presented to John Sher- man, secretary of the treasury. un- der President Hayes.
 We were five days going from the vulture mine to Prescott, the lat ter place having been so named by ! Mccormick after Prescott. the histor- , ian. Here I was entertained by the officers of the army and at one of the dinners given me saw a roasted wild turkey that had weighed thir- weight pounds after being dresed. There were deer and wild turkeys only a few miles from camp. but al so Apaches.
 Tn 1878 again visited Arizona as special agent of the postoaice de pertinent and stopped over near Phoenix as the guest of a man nam ed Hayden, who had a fine house and was building a big corral. Phoe- nix was then quite town, and had good hotel. several stores. and trees along one or more of its streets. The Son.hern Pacific only ran as far as Yuma. SO made the trip between Yuma and Tucson in blackboard.
 Of course I could tell you a good many stories of this trip, how was received at Tucson at receptions and balls given by Lord & Williams, the Beckendorfs, and others, and of the good treatment received at Phoenix, but I will call myself of
 now that I have presented the above salient feature. But I have always had a mighty warm spot in my heart for Arizona, and have hoped for years that 1t would be made q state.

FIRE IN DOUGLAS

r DOUGLAS, July S.-(Special.) )-
 An alarm of fire was turned in from a roundabout source this morn ing and the department made a run partly by guess work, arriving in time to save adjacent property which was endangered. The alarm was sent in from Agua Prieta and said there was fire in the southeasterly part of town Central called up the fire department and was told to have a 2-2 signal blown. Second street and B avenue. Then the department started in that direction and found the fire was a little nearer, Second between D and E avenues. It was found a Mexican tent had been de. stroyed and wood shack was also ablaze. the fire threatening the ad joining building. The owners were too excited. apparently. to turn in the alarm which had thus been sent indirectly from Agua Prieta. The adjacent property was saved.
