A summer among the pines in the hills of the north country about Iron Springs, Flagstaff, Williams and the Grand Canyon with d record of rest and recreation, is the tale told by Dr. Willard Smith and his wife who returned last evening to their home in Phoenix. The doctor is an ardent admirer of the beauties of nature ard willing to pursue a strenuous course that he may fully enjoy them, but he says motoring toward the Canyon in the midst of an active and absolutely uninvited rainstorm, is not his idea of fair hunt The next time he starts to while away d sum- mer day by a trip to the greatest scenic wonder in Arizona, he intends starting in June before the heavens become hysterical, or patronizing a railroad

 CHANGED HIS MlND-About , o'clock yesterday afternoon word came to the police that a man was trying to kill a "lady" at 1102 East Cleveland street The patrol wagon and posse of policemen hurried to the place only to learn that the man had gone one way, the woman another, and those left in the vicinity knew nothing more about it, the assumption being that the man changed his mind or the wo- man had decided not to allow herself to be killed.
 MExICANS MIXED.-Late yester- day afternoon one Mexican assaulted another at Seventh avenue and Grant street, the victim being comfortably drunk and uncomfOrtably battered up though not seriously hurt. The police arrived in time to catch the victim and gave chase to his assailant who fled toward Buckeye. Whether ne was drunk could not be learned but hls load did not interfere with nasty flight for he had too long a lead for the of- ficers to catch up with him. He was last reported as throwing dust Ill the vicinity of the slaughter house.
