JOY GRAY PARTY ID
 SOME QUICK ROMANCE
Former Secretary to State Treasurer, and Later Attache of the Legis-
 lature is Married on Coast

After few days romance, Miss Joy Gray, former stenographer of State Treasurer Mitt Simms and Ralph Durant Bortz wealthy Pitts burg realty dealer were married in Los Angeles.
 Coast papers brought the first word of the affair to Phoenix yes terday.
 In part. the Los Angeles Herald said:
 The romance of a few days is somewhat of a mystery. No one. not even the intimate friends of the bride, know how the couple met or how the little blind god did his work.
 The first inkling of the wedding was revealed when Miss Gray began packing her trunk at the home of her aunt. Mrs. F. NJ. Rosecrans, 3O16 Second avenue.
 To the questions of her friends Miss Gray replied:
 "Oh I married Saturday night and leave on my honeymoon tonight"
 To all other inquiries Miss Gray re- maincd dumb.
 Then Ralph Durant Bortz, dele gate to the convention of the Ma tional association of Real Estate ex- changes in Los Angeles last week called at the house for his bride
 Even A. F. Gray, father of the bride. was unable to learn the de- tails of the romance, outside of the fact that Bortz and his daughter were married at the Hotel Alexan- dra late Saturday night.
 Last night Mir. and Mrs Bortz left for Philadelphia on their honey moon The bride was formerly sec retary to the state treasurer in Ari- zona and came to Los Angeles to make her home two months ago.

As it was, Mrs. Howard sustained a fractured collar bone, and it is miracle that Mrs. Scull escaped without injury. Mrs Howard was thrown from the vehicle near the drug store. but Mrs. Scull retained her seat while the animal bolted madly through the streets until at the Dr. Hill corner a tree was struck, upsetting and completely demolishing the bug gy. When Mrs. SculI emerged from the wreckage, she was shouting praises to God for her deliverance.

Wherever they stop the message said, the regiment will give an exhibition parade, and drill
 Whether Arizona will send any troops to he tournament has not yet been decided. Col. Harris stated yes terday that the sending of the band and two companies is being urged, and that 1t is possible that these organiza- tions may be sent the last of this month so as to be present at the cele- bration O.

WOLF MARKET
 OPENS FRIDAY
One of the Most Up-to-Datc Establishments in tn e Southwest to Open Under Propl'ietorship of Sidney J. Wolf

What is perhaps the most splen- ,did and up-to-date market in Ari- zona will be opened to the public
 tomorrow and it will be visited by many hundreds of people who are anxious to see the splendid array of fine fruits and vegetables which will
 be offered them.
 i The new establishment is located fat 31 West Adams street and is i owned and managed by s. J: Wolf, and will be known as Wolfs Mar | llet. MT. Wolfs success in other | lines of business in which he has engaged in Phoenix and the large
 acquaintance and enviabIe reputa- tion which he enjoys as a result of
 his connection with other business houses will prove big factors in the 1 success of the new business and [ will be the means of attracting a ! large patronage even in the be- einning
 Sanitation always has been in the mind of MT. Wolf while planning his market Large oscillating fans and big ceiling whirlers serve to keep out flies and insects as well as to make the place inviting to the patron. All fixtures are fin ished in white enamel. and it may be said the color scheme is carried
 out" throughout the store. Thus the
 very appearance of the place be- speaks for it the highest degree of sanitation. Passers- by vii be vel
 come to drink from free sanitary
 cups at an ice cooler which will be found at the very front of the building.
 One of the advantages to the con
 sumner who trades with Wolf will be
 his method of buying in very large quantities-wa for instance
 being purchased in lots of tons at
 time. These melons. by the way
 will be the Salt River product. as
 will indeed all vegetables handled.
 when the demand can be supplied by
 local growers
 \ coffee. tea and spice department
 will be in charge of Roy Diehl, while Mrs M. F. Lithgow will at
 tend to all phone orders and will have charge of the fruit and pro- duce counter. Mir Wolf will give
 this department his personal super
 vision.

 COUNTY SUPERVISOR

| CHANDLER, June 30.-Friends of Geo. T. Pea body, business manager of the Chandler Chamber of Com merce, are actively working to se- cure for him the post of county l supervisor, due to the vacancy caused | by w. A. Moeur.
 Petitions have been circulated for his candidacy and efforts are being made to place him on the board. | He would prove of undoubted strength to the county workers and would bring with him a thorough knowledge of conditions over Mari copa county.
 As business manager of the Chand- Ter commercial body he has done much for the upbuilding of this sec tion of the county. He has a def mite grasp of the financial prob lems of the county; he knows where almost every poor road in the county is located, and he has a fund of business and executive ability that would be of inestimable advantage to the taxpayers of this county He knows the valleys needs and has perhaps been instrumental in bring ing in as many settlers as has any other one man.
