 Footpads Are Busy. | For some nights past Phoenix ladies have been ,errorized by the suspicious actions of men who have in cases followed them, giving them a scare and in other cases merely closely watching them as they pass ed from place to place around the city in the evening. 4 culmination of one of these watchings occurred "Wednesday night when Miss Cath crine Miller. who was returning home in company with Mrs Man ley and two children, was set upon on Fifth avenue near the corner of Monroe, about o:30 o'clock, and her purse was snatched from her the footpad making his getaway in the dark.
 The party, which had been down town during the carly part of the evening. was returning home when suddenly the footpad jumped ou, from behind fence in that vicinity grabbing the purse and running away.

 No Sun, No Pay.

 When Robert R. Briggs tool charge of the local weather bureau on March 9 it rained all day long and the sun did not shine. Ina, was the first time this year and tho last until yesterday that Phoenician. have not enjoyed sunshine.
