The bride was attended by Miss Mary McDonald, while the groom had IS best man Joseph White of Flagstaff. John Foley, brother of the bride gave her away at the altar. The occasion was fittingly celebrated when a host of friends came to the home to en- joy a banquet and to extend the happy couple many presents and to wish them well in their journey through life. A dance in the evel- ing closed the happy event, whi:h was enjoyed by all in that place.
 Mrs. Washington is a charming young woman, and has that endearing personality that has made her fav- orite with all. She is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Foley and has re- sided for many years in Ash Fork.
 MT. Washington is also very highly spoken of as an industrious young man, and with his bride is followed by best wishes for happy and pros porous future.
 Among those attending from this city was Miss Susie Murphy, frien l of the bride for several years.

 TEAM.

In harmony with the big league practice of buying from one club and another desirable baseball play CTS, the Northern Arizona League has also wheeled into the same line, in the purchasing business, three of the spherical artists of the Prescott team going over to Williams yester- day. The deal was made by Ben Sweetwood, manager of the Williams aggregation, and included Louis and Burnham Smith, the Indian battery, and J. Godfrey, second baseman. MT. Sweetwood paid $90 for the trio and the money goes into the treasury of the local club. Who the "eandy kid" of the league will be remains to be determined. Prescott is said to have him but withholds his name, for fear of having him bought. The release of the three does not affect the make up of good players of the local team, O'Malley, the speedy shortstop who arrived Thursday fill ing a responsible position.

MEXICAN BOUND
 OUT CRIMSON RECORD.
CFrom Wednesdays DaiIyl

Yesterdays crimson record ended last night with rumors of a Mexican being found dead on South Granite street, and a clash between insur- rectos and a one armed federal sym pathizer, that attained a free for all mix-up before the combat ceased. The reported death was traced to an at tack of epilepsy, and after few hours the man was revived.
 As night was coming on, however, there was a big fight in the alley leading off of Goodwin street to the south, in which five disciples of Madero engaged in a vicious attack on the lone defender of Diaz in which the weapons used were cord wood and boards ripped off the fence. The Mexican with the one arm held his assailants at bay until he was flanked, when he was sent down and out. The appearonee of officers on the scene ended hostilities, and one of the participants was run in and will have to face the responsi- bility of his companions by paying for the crime

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 10.-Sur- veys have been completed. d right of way secured and preparations F ade to at once begin work on the railroad that is to connect Mesa with the Chandler ranch. Grading wih com menee at an carry date.
 While more or less has been heard about the Chandler road for the last two or three years. it IS only re- gently that anything definite has been done toward its construction. Though it is not generally known the Arizona Eastern company is to build and own the line. Dr. 4. J. Chandler succeeding in convincing Colonel Epes Randolph, general man ager of the Arizona Eastern system that a branch from Mesa 50 his ranch would be a big money maker Dr. Chandler has appeared to be the principal promoter and packer Of the project, but has been acting almost entirely for the Arizona Eas- tern.
 Recently Dr. Chandler went to Los Angeles to make final arrange ments for the opening of an office for the sale of his lands in small tracts as soon as the read is eom- pleted. In the meantime right of way deeds were secured from the Chandler ranch and about sOur days ago the final survey of the route was made. Rails and ties are all ready ordered and the track layers will slOsely follow the grading crew. The road will be completed early in the summer.

too slow for the game she desired to play in the long years ahead of them in domestic bliss. From the begin ming of breaking the ice to the last moment of the betrothal, she feared the approach of the matrimonial hal ter and began to consider a system to baffle Cupid, who was not prop erly hooked up in the case.
 Last Monday the marriage trick was to be turned and then she got to working on her "thinking gear" With the assistance of a young lady friend, male attire was adopted as the ruse to fly to the open. Re hearsals were made daily and after she had made her debut several nights in parading down Washing ton and Center streets of the capital city, and not attracting any atten' fit for professional road work and came to this city to play a limited engagement For three days the cards came out of the pack in one two, three order; then murmurs began to be heard that "Jimmy" was not Jimmy" Her male escort around the city during all these days, who is a young married mining man of the Bradshaws, friend of the fam fly, and incidentally one who took g deep interest in the girl, chaperoned his protege carefully and yet care lessly, until the horizon began tC twinkle and then she was sent away
 Where she has gone or when she will return Is not on the billboards telling about this young and fasein ating masquerader who starts down the grade to balk Cupid until the right man shows up to successfully storm the eitadels of her heart. Ht does not live in Phoenix at the pres ent time, and there are many young men in Prescott who appreciate thi: fact from the manner in which they i have been "stung" in the past few days, and by one whom they thought was of the boys.

AUTO TRUCKS TO
 REPLACE MULE TEAMS.

After the territorial highway IS established on the route suggested a few days ago by J. B. Girand,
 territorial engineer, through Crook Canyon on the direct line to the south, it is the intention of two mining companies, operating in that section, to place auto trucks in com mission between their camps and this city, was the statement made yester- day by E. L. TOmlinson, superintend ent of the Venezia Gold Mines. Mir Tomlinson further stated that the assurance of an easy grade was a good business inducement and that as a method of rapid nd cheap trans pOrtatiOn the auto service had been demonstrated elsewhere as feasible and satisfactory.
 MT. TOmlinson states that at pres ent ten stamps are dropping regularly on Venezia ores, and that a lease of three months had been given on ten stamps for the Champion yield. Recent developments, in the Venezia mine guarantee steady running of the plant for at least four months The grade of the ore is satisfactory and with the introduction of the Burt filter process there is no doubt of the success of the proposition from a treatment standpoint. This invention is in successful use at the present time by the Frisco Mines and Power Company, of Mohave county, and is expected to be in- stalled at the Venezia plant during the present month.

known as election ordinance No. l. being proposition No. 152 This or dinanee governed the recent election for the rejection or ratification of the constitution. The other ordinance is known as election ordinance No. ?, being proposition No. 14s. The object of the latter proposed ordi- nance being to govern the first state election, as also the primary for the first state election. It being ob- served that there is in law a dis tinetion between an election and primary for an election.
 From a somewhat careful reading of the minutes of the constitutional convention, I find that the status of these two propositions diseloses some interesting features, and, if I have not overlooked something in the read ing, it is very doubtful if provision is made for a primary for the nomi- nation of officers to be elected at the. first state election.
 The minutes disclose that on the sth day of December, 1910, the com mittee on style, revision and com pilation reported that it had examin- ed election ordinance No. l, being proposition No. 152, and recommended that an appended engrossed copy be adopted as amended. On motion of MT. Cunniff, the chairman, this report was adopted. Said election Nn kr- sections, and, with some verbal mOdi- fieations, was read in full as amend ed and finally passed by the eOnven- tion.
 The minutes further disclose that on November 30, 1910, the commit tee of the whole convention reported that it had examined proposition No 14s, being election ordinance No. ?, and recommended it's adoption, the report of the committee being adopt ed by the convention.
 Said proposition No. 14S was there upon ordered engrossed and to have a third reading and referred to the committee on style, revision and compilation. The proposition, No 14s, so referred being the election ordinance, No. ?, governing the cleo tion and primary for the election at the first state election to be held under the constitution. After refer ring it to the committee on style, revision and compilation, I find no. further reference to it in the min utes of the convention or any final action in its passage.
 If such be the true state of the record, the matter should be of much interest to the electors of this proposed state.

YAVAPAI LANDS IN
 DEMAND IN MAINE.
lFrom Fridays Daily.)

Although but a few weeks have elapsed since publicity was given the purposes of the Arizona Land and Irrigation Company to erect a mil lion dollar water storage dam on Will low creek to reclaim several thousand acres of land in Lonesome Valley, the Prescott and Indianapolis offices of the company are receiving hun dreds of letters of inquiry from all over the country requesting infor- nation of the projected enterprise. Land loeatOrs, investors, manufactur- CTS, artisans and numberless others who desire to learn of the movement, Tn one way or another, are asking for information. Nearly every state in the union is represented and yes terday communications were received from the state of Maine from pros pective settlers anxious to learn of the conditions here.
 In short time definite plan of operation will be outlined for this great undertaking, was the statement made yesterday by George Thayer, the general manager and local represent tive of the company. He will leave for the east, probably on Sunday, to consult with his father, Col. E. P. Thayer and ex-Congressman Watson of Indiana, who are among the heav- jest stockholders. The latter will probably return with him during the latter part of the month when the first work of construction will be, inaugurated
 NIT. Thayer yesterday stated that surveys of lands in Lonesome valley were being made and would be com pleted in about five days. The tract embraces over 32,OOO acres.
 Approval of the war department at Washington for the building of diversion dam on Granite creek is expected in a few days, which will he the first point where work will he started in order to insure a stable structure for the heavy flow of water attending the summer rains. Practic- ally at the same time the big dam on Willow creek will be started.
 Inside of the next three months the project is expected to be under full swing in all departments.

BROTHER SHOOTS
 IN ATTEMPT TO KILL.
CFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

Arriving on horseback yesterday forenoon from his home in Skull Valley, J. W. COughran formally lOdg- ed complaint against his brother, Wilbur Coughran of attempting to take his life, by firing four shots at him, with a Winchester rifle, at a distance that was close, and while he was at work in the brush. He stated that on several occasions dur ing the past few months, Wilbur had threatened to kill him, and the whizzing of the bullets so, close to his body, convinced him that his enraged brother was endeavoring to accomplish his work. After the fourth shot was fired, he ran for shelter and made a detour to get to his saddle horse in another part of the field Securing the animal he immediately started Tor thls city to make complaint.
 Deputy Sheriffs Joe Young and John Hudgens, left for the COughran ranch on the afternoon train to make the arrest. They arrived last night at l2:33 and give the following ad- ditional particulars of the alleged at tempt at fratrieide:
 At the time of the shooting it is believed the man under arrest was passing through one of his occasional attacks of dementia, and that he had no reason whatever to attack his brother. It is believed he has a hallucination of some imaginary wrong, and has no cause for a grievance against his brother. Since the demonstration of a few days ago, his mother stated that he has cooled down and was in a pacific eondi- tion. When arrested Coughram did not offer the least resistance, nor did he inquire the cause of his ar rest. On the trip he was uneommuni- cative. The general belief of sev- eral in that section is that the un- fortunate man is suffering from a mental collapse.

Clark, out of Jerome Junction, which covers about One-half of the distance The grading camp has been transfer red to the foot of the mountain above Patterson ranch, and in about four days the gap will be filled which will leave less than eighteen miles to be built until Ash Fork is reached A few miles will require heavier ex- eavation than in the low lands but in two weeks the road will be fin ished. MT. Foster states that a splen- did highway is assured and after the first summer rains pack the soil it will be the finest speedway in the country.

"Say, kid, did you get onto that new swell guy that's in the burg, and don't he think he's some with that dinky white dicer on his crown and those painfully small tan shoes tied to his pedals? He's the limit, and that stride-it makes me weary"
 Such was the opinion of "Jimmy Elhs.'' who arrived from Phoenix a few days ago, and who left the city just as quickly and quietly as he en- tered. His natty attire, hls graceful carriage that took him from one side of the walk to the other in a long sweep, his joyous laughter, his will ingness to become acquainted with other "boys,' and his generous man. ner in giving each of them daintily made cigarettes with a fine flavor, combined a personality that threw him head first into the column of the "eandy kidsD of the town.
 Jimmy came unheralded about seven days ago. He left yesterday morn ing, but where he went, or what his name might be is known to a few only. "He" played the masquerade game successfully, for a few days, but fell into the trap that 'he'' unwittingly made for himself. With that peculiar failing inherent in the sex, "he" jumped from the shield of secrecy into the fatal chasm of con- fiding in one of his favorite young girl acquaintances-and the jig was up. "Jimmy' in short, became in fatuated with a young lady in the city, and fOolishly let the eat out of the bag by acknowledging "his '' femininity and with copious tears told a heartfelt story of why "he '' was in Prescott and who the man in the case was.
 She said she was nineteen years old, and for several months had been living with her parents in Phoenix. She admitted that through the per suasive entreaties of her father, she had become engaged to a young man with plenty of money, but he was
