SET A GOOD EXAMPLE

Harry Robinson, who for a short time past has been employed at Ev- erybody'5 drug store, has set good example for a number of the Mesa bachelors who have been leading a lonesome and unprofitable life in this section for many long years. While MT Robinson has not been long in the valley, ha realized that there is noth- ing like having a home of ones own and somebody in the home to share ones joys and sorrows. Fortunately Miss Pearl Walling, of Phoenix, agreed with MT. Robinson's views and the couple decided to join their fortunes and make a home in the Salt River valley Hence, on Monday evening they were married at the home of Rev. J. Harvey Deere, in Phoenix, few friends Cnly being present. Yesterday morning Mir. Robinson was on duty in the drug store receiving the congratu- lations Of his acquaintances. MT. and Mrs Robinson have rooms at present, but it is probable that they will own their own home in the near future. MT. Robinson is from Arkansas, while the bride is 2 former Texas girl.

INSURANCE ADJUSTED.

MT. Hemperly carried S150O.00 insur- ance on the building, the risk having been written by J. G. Spangler, who is the Mesa representative of the Arizona Fire Insurance Co. As soon as the fire was reported to MT. Spangler he wired to Adjuster Mckinley at Phoenix and the latter arrived in Mesa on the II: 45 train yesterday forenoon. By o'clock that day the matters had all been gone into and the claim for $500 allowed and a check issued in favor of MT. Hemperly for that amount This. we are certain, is the swifteSt time ever made in settling insurance claims in Mesa. In IS hours after the house caught fire, the cash was at the bank ready for the man whose property was destroyed. MT. Spangler is especially proud of the good time made, believing that it is a splendid recommendation to the home insurance company for prompt attention to the interests of it's patrons.
 MT. HenlperlY went to the Grand Canyon on the sociability tour and will not return until tonight Unless he sees The Republican this morning he will not be aware that he is homeless until he reaches Mesa. The members of the family have secured temporary homes for the present, and it is probable that a new residence will be com menced as soon as plans can be drawn and a contract let.

LOST HORSE FOUND.

Monday evening some one took the pony that Ed McElwain had ridden to town and disappeared with it. He left the horse tied at Growers corner while he went to mail a letter. On his return from the post office, Ed discovered that some one was riding his animal dawn the street, toward the east. He could not recognize the rider. The of ficers were informed and a search in stituted, but the lost animal could not be located Yesterday Ed found his horse quietly grazing in the neighbOr- hood of it's home, having evidently been turned loose by the party who rode it away. This habit of borrowing other peoples horses, buggies and bicycles, has become quite common during the past few months. It is a dangerous habit and some one will yet land in jail for the offence.

TEMPE
HOUSEHOLD GOODS
 STRUNG ALONG ROAD
Another Runaway Accident at the End
 of Mill Ave.

F. M. Hudlow was the victim of an- other frightened team Tuesday even ing, while returning to his ranch south of town. He had been moving the family household goods from the Olive hotel, Of which Mrs. Hudlow until Monday was proprietor, to their home in the HarmOsa tract. He had already made several trips that day and was making the last when the accident oc- cured. It was almost Sundown when he left town. so that by the time he reached the end of Mill avenue, two miles south, is was practically dark
 Just before reaching that point, which necessitates a turn to either East or West, the team became sud- denly frightened, at what, MT. Hudlow has not the least idea. He says that the first he knew as he was riding peacefully homeward bound he found himself going through the air and a moment later struck the ground. The team, hitched to the hayrack, made the turn successfully and ran on home at their utmost speed. Aside from the household goods which were strung along the road all the way from the scene of the horses fright, nothing was very seriously injured. MT. Hudlow was temporarily laid up but was able to be out yesterday although he was slightly bruised up.
 This is the second runaway which has occurred in that district during the past week, but neither resulted seri- ously however some skin was removed in both cases.

 On behalf of the Mesa library and free reading room. Rev. s. w. Gage asked that the council insure the rent of library room by appropriating twenty dollars per month for that purpose. On motion of Dr. Nelson, the council voted to pay the sum ask ed for a period of six months. Coun- cilman Maer thought the council should go a little slow until the mon ey came in more freely.
 A communication was read from NJ. J. Dougherty, thanking the council for the confidence reposed in him by appointing him to the position of att torney for the town. MT. Dougherty said he would accept as he felt that the consideration was an unimportant matter; it would be his aim to serve as faithfully as was possible so dis tinguished a body of men. chosen by a majority of the people to represent the whole people and not the special interests. He believed the present council would make record for square dealing that had never before been exceeded in Mesa. Mir Dough- erty's salary was continued for the present at $50.0O per quarter (payable by past resolution in advance.)
 The salary of the supervisor of streets was placed at $S per month, which is all that is permitted by ordi- nance. Just what Mir Horsley will do with all that money has not yet been learned.
 Town Clerk Payton remarking that one of the most important matters wit fixing the salary of the clerk. Under the old resolution the clerk draws $35.00 per month. For this sal ary he is expected to put in the greater part of his time on city busi- ness. The council apparently agreed that the pay was too small but de- cided to let it stand until the next meeting, when the matter would be gone into at greater length. The pres ent ordinance permits a raise in the clerks salary, not to exceed a total compensation of $5OOO per month. If
