SOME TRADITIONS
 OF THE SOUTH SIDE
The Wars Between the Buzzards and
 the Whites.

Many, many years ago, at some period in the sos, southern Arizona was the range of the Indian. Before ir- rigatiOn found its way to the barren lands. and before the white man be- came acquainted with this country. there lived in the valley. in the vicinity of what is now Phoenix, little tribe of red men called the Buzzards Some say they were descendants of the cliff dwellers, and others claim they came down from MonteZuma's We'll What ever they were it is to them that is due the founding of our city here.
 One day, while the tribesmen were resting peacefully around their fires, after their nOOn-day meal, they were suddenly aroused by the gallOping of a horse, coming toward their village from the north. A little Buzzard rode up, sprang from his pony, and running up to his chief, Big Cloud, motioned to him and was given leave to speak. "The pale-faces are coming" he whis- pered. They come with arms, to fight, but they are few, and here, we are many"
 So Big Cloud arose and his warriors
 
 the news. Then great murmur went around and the pipe of peace was passed. for they did not want to fight the pale-faces. A warrior was sent out to meet the newcomers and they were welcomed by the BuZzards.
 But it came to pass that, on the third night of their visit, a great mas sacre of the red men occurred and a great many of them perished. So this was the way the white men massacred the BuzZards and drove them from their adobe homes.
 And thus a city was founded, for Captain Obadiah Bennett and Colonel Methuselah Adams built town on the scene of the base outrage, and dubbed 1t Phoenix. But the Indians travelled south, the little band that escaped, across the Salt river to a resting place beyond. And, as they saw great mesa to the east of them, they called their new village Mesa, or Buzzardville. And after a few years old Big Cloud called another meeting and said to his men: Now the pale-faces have our wells and water, and our water here

 Because your case is difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ills. such as in- flammation, alteration, displacements, fibroid tumors, Irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner- vOus prostration. It costs but trifle to try it, and the result is worth mil lions to many suffering women.

CARNIVAL COMPANY
 HOLDS FORTH HERE WILL SHOW TWO NIGHT s
 MORE Some of the Shows That Were at the Fair in Phoenix Last
 Week

The Consolidated Carnival Co, which opened here last night, is a remarkably attractive combination of original performances and includes the pick of the shows which appear ed last week at the Territorial IFair in Phoenix Aysha and her Turkish dancing girls share the premier hon ors with Mamie and her Electric Show The Montenegrin Acrobats give an entertainment of great merit besides being a thorough novelty. Of course the giant Ferris wheel comes in for a large share of patronage, as does also the unique ruby glassware store. McDaniels' Champion Military band gives concerts during the day and evening, and as the necessary musical adjunct to the company is worthy of great praise.
 The carnival drew a good crowd last night in view of it's being it's first appearance here and will re- main over tonight and tomorrow night. giving the full number of shows on both occasions.
 From here the company goes on to Tucson. Its appearance here in town as small as Tempe is due to the fact that owing to conflicting dates. it could not play in Tucson this week and it is filling in the time playing three nights in Tempe.
