NOT A LOVE LETTER
BY GEORGE MUNsoN.

John Benson rose hurriedly from the
breakfast table and plunged for his
hat; then he plunged for his wife.
"Good-by, dearest" he said, clasplng
her as tightly as he could, considering
that he was holding derby and a bag

final kiss, he was through the door

Mary sighed q little-then smiled.
She and John had been married only
six months and they we're very fond of
each other.
She put away the breakfast things;

upon the new advertising plan. A
piece Of paper lay in one corner; It
had evidently futtered out of his desk
and fallen there, unnoticed. She

her heart throb painfully. She could
hardly read the words that danced
before her eyes.

ATTEMPTED MURDER
 REPORTED AT HAYDEN

Francisco Ramirez is today being sought by officers in this section on a charge of attempted murder commit ted in Sonora, Ariz., near Ray at an early hour Friday. It is reported that he became embroiled with a fellow cOuntryman over some family affair involving a woman of their race and that under the pretenSe of treating his adversary to a friendly drink he got into position to make effective use of his pistol. The wounded man is still alive at last reports but is thought to be fatally wounded. Some confusion in the search resulted from an impression received by local officers that the flu gitive was man by the name of Ro- nero who has been wanted for num-
 Der of years on a charge of murder committed about forty miles above here on the San Pedro river
 For several weeks past reports have
 been coming to local officers that quite
 camp of apparently lawless charac-
 ters existed in the mountains near Cop
 per Creek Several people who had
 passed through that section reported having been accosted in a threatening manner and warned to keep out of that
 quarter or had noticed indications of the presence of a body of armed horse men in the locality. Hoping to appre- 1 hend bad characters who are wanted in different sections of the state as fu- 9itives from justice several officers from different counties formed a pOssee the early part of the week and secured the locality thoroughly but found no one except several wood cutters who appeared quite harmless so they gave up the chase The party, which was in the saddle several days on the hunt was made up of attorney C. H. Studley, Jr, and officer Walter
 Gibson of Gia county, Officer Lew Mickey of Maricopa and Officers Finch and O'Neil of Pinal.
 Louis $. Gates and Secretary T S Jacobs. were over from Ray to spend Friday and Saturday.
 Mrs R, E. Rudy, of IrontOn, Mo, who
 recently visited her daughter Mrs Frank Norton here has returned to
 Missouri after a short visit with rela-
 tives in California.

WORLD FAMOUS DIVA
 ID SING HERE SOON
M adame GriseIda Comes Here for Winter and Promises Splendid
 Concert Later.

Registered at the Hotel Adams is Madame Griselda, the world famed cantatrice, who although imbued first with desire to spend few weeks in the balmy cline of the Salt River valley, has promised that before long she will give Phoenix music lovers the opportunity of attending one of her superb concerts. To those who have watched with interest the de- velOpment of her wonderful career, this announcement will be received with more than passing interest
 It is not likely that Phoenix has entertained in many years more widely travelled woman than Madame Griselda In most of the magnificent palaces of India her voice has been raised to delight vast throngs and she is the only feminine artiste who has done so. All over Australia. China. Japan, as well as in the. Philippines. and through southern Europe. she has continued her career of triumph which was started at an early age in London, where she was born.
 Had she not been the great singer she is she could have won distinction in painting for she is exceptionally clever in both oil and water cOlors Madame GriseIda's tones have the power of carrying her audience with her to just whatever world of opera or fairyland she is herself travelling to on the wings of her wonderful voice.
 In speaking of her singing, the ! London Times recently had this to | say:
 1 Madame Griselda is an artiste on whom Dame Nature has lavished l favors with no ungrudging hand-a
 charming personality and the happy i possessor of a brilliant and cultivated | soprano voice, of considerable range, marvellous flexibility and purity of | tone. There is a feeling of warmth and intense sympathy in everything
 she attempts, and added to her grace | ful bearing and easy repose, the
 artiste has attained perfection in
 her art as near as it is possible for | mortal to attain to-

Chairman Ben johnson of the House
District commi tee and other members of
Congress who wish to abolish the half

at a meeting of the board of directors of
the Chamber of Commerce last night.
President -. j. Callahan was in the chair.
Chairman johnson is unfair to the Dis

District declared u. j. Kaufman. He
is not a fit man for the job.
The discussion arose during considera-
ton of letter drafted by special COM
mittee to be sent to the new members of
the next Congress. This letter was draft
ed by Henry B. F. Mcfarland, George Y.
Worthington and John Poole, and sets
forth the relations between the District
and the federal government and the
causes which have led to these relations.
1t was decided to refer the letter back to
the executive committee, urging that it
be sent to all members of the new Con-
Eress and that it be added to, showing a
comparison of tax rates here and in other
cities. so as to prove to congressman that

as to his guilt last night and said his
original story is true.
