CITY CLERK HOME

City Clerk Arthur A Jones, Mrs. Jones and Miss Elsie Jones are back from their vacation on the coast. While there they took in all the beaches. San Diego, Point Loma, Catalina Island. and saw everything that could possibly be seen in the limited time they remain ed in sight of the Pacific. Miss Jones is back at her desk in Everybody's and says that her only regret is that she had to return so soon. Her eyes were just getting accustomed to the big houses. the pretty homes and the bOundless expanse of water. when she had to give up the pleasure and re- turn to humdrum, everyday life. The clerk has no big fish stories of his own to tell, but can relate some of the tales of others who had the goods to show for their prowess. He thinks he would like to own Redondo and in vite all his friends to spend a month with him and help catch the yellow tail, mackerel and barracuda that swarm in that vicinity at stated intervals.

 In a complaint received yesterday it was said that although dinner had been used in an effort to cause one would-be Melba on the upper West Side to desist, no such result had followed Another letter was about the singing of national airs in a barroom. with the comment thrown in that saloon IS poor place in which to sing nation- al anthems"
 Such a sudden rise in the com plaints about music at all hours of the night and day have caused de- partment officials to believe that a great many persons have come back from their vacations with gladdened hearts and lots of exuberance.

Already the available tenement houses are filling up and the dozen or more cottages that are under way and pro- jected are spoken for. This indicates that the town will be filled with a live set of people who must have gro- ceries and dry goods. Hence the mer- chants are all stocking up. It is their aim to supply the wants of their customers and thus hold the trade at home Inquiries are coming in to the Commercial club and to real estate men as to lands and business opportunities, and private citizens are receiving many letters from friends in the eastern and northern states who are anxious to change their location and are looking to the new state of Arizona as a fu- ture home Crops in Kansas.

KENTUCKY FEUD CLASSIC
How a Mountaineer Trained H'"se''
 10 Wreak His Vengeance.

The killing by Leck Whit or ms nophew and son-in-law Buddy Wh'' and James Harper. and the subse- ouent shooting of Leck Whit DS friends of the dead men at Salyers- vile. in the mountains. bid fair to become a classic in feud history. says a Lexington dispatch to the New York World.
 Two or three years ago Leck Whit was shot by ore of the men ana his right arm was paralyzed by the bullet. Leck Whit went to Salyers- vile from his farm home and saw his two enemies in front of the court house there. In the years that his right arm was paralyzed. Whit who was about 70 years old. had learned 10 use his pistol with his left hand. shot Harper through the throat and fired five bullets into his nephew.
 Before the smoke had blown away from the revolver of Leck Whit, pis- tnls began to bark at him from every side. The old man stood still until he fell dead with his empty revolver still in his hand.
 Not a groan or a moan had escap- ed him. although it was found that seven bullets had struck him in the breast and were so aimed that they made almost a straight line of holes across his chest. Several other bull lets struck him. and it is believed that at least twenty bullets were fired at him.
