Bob Birch Gladdens
 Hearts Of Riddles
(From Tuesday's Daily.)

Big-hearted Bob Birch would prob ably not be a graceful figure mounted on a "merry-go-round horse," but it is safe to say that on Sunday night Bob enjoyed the merry-go-round on the plaza more than any of the scores of little kiddics who rode on it and watched it go round all evening.
 Bob happened to pass the merry go-round Sunday night and, attracted by its hackneyed music, stopped to watch it. The merry-go-round did not appeal particularly to Bob but what did impress him was the row of little boys and girls who were stand ing around the attraction, with long ing looks on their faces. It did not take Bob long to figure out what was the trouble, he knew at once that the little folks had spent their last nickels and still wanted more rides.
 So Bob dug down in his pocket and produced what looked to the wide-eyed youngsters to be a small fortune.
 Let's go, kids" shouted Bob and no second invitation was needed. In 10 seconds the entire crowd of little folks swooped down on the merry go-round and literally took complete possession of it. Ride after ride they took ,and each time Bob stood the expense. The kiddies enjoyed it but not one of them had as much fun as Bob, and he only stood by and helped them on.
 Many parent was yesterday told by son and daughter of the great big man." who bought all of the merry go-round tickets and scarcely father or mother but knew from the descrip- ton and the stories told by the little people that the great, big man" could be none other than Bob Birch.

IS SUGGESTED
 FOR CITY
PLEASANT SOCIAL TIME ENJOYED BY SEVEN CITIZENS AT CITY DADS SESSION.
(From Tuesdays DaiIy.)

Inclement weather was the cause for very sociablc gathering at the city hall last night instead of the ac- customed council meeting. Two members of the council of Prescott were present. Frank Whisman, the city clerk couldn't stay away, neither could Robert Robbins, chief of police, or the reporter. Otherwise there were two visitors including J. E. Rus sell, attorney for the English syndi- cate who propose to erect a smelter here.
 One pleasant feature of the evening was the discussion of a reservoir site back of Thumb Butte which would impound the waters of Aspen creek in Potts creek canyon. This part of the evenings discussion will likely be heard of again as Mir. Russell's sug- gested it as a sufficient water supply for the smelter.
 The advisability of keeping an extra officer on night duty appealed to Mayor Timeerhoff when suggested by Robert Robbins and an extra copper" will beat time until the Sum- mer crowds diminish.
 In the communications including a couple of advertising circulars. Will liam Paar, of the Head hotel, made an offer to connect the Head Hotel block with fire alarm system to the fire house. This will be dealt with by the council when quorum is se- cured.
 After an hour pleasantly spent as mentioned above, everybody decided that 9 o'clock was a good bedtime and without a motion to adjourn, the session of the city dads was at an end.

AzB|LL BROTHERS ARE SENTENCED
 TOBEHANGED
KILLED YOUTH IN COCO MING co; CONDEMNED MEN ARE FROM YAVA- PAI COUNTY.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Henry and Willis Azbill, convicted at Flagstaff recently of the murder of Henry O. Thomas, and sentenced to be hanged on September g at the State penitentiary, passed through Prescott yesterday afternoon in the custody of Sheriff w. c. Dickinson, of Coconino county, and his under sheriff, F. L. Dickinson. Both con- demned men were until recently resi-' dents of this county, and when ques- toned by acquaintances, were indif- ferent to the fate which awaits them. Their crime was revolting in which the victim was first shot through the head and killed, and his body then thrown into a lake of the Johnson Cattle Co.,, with a rock tied to his neck to cover up the deed.
 The body, however, rose to the sur face, was found and the hunt for the criminals started. The Azbills were located and arrested in Yuma coun- ty, and the trial took place nearly one year after the murder. Thomas was a young man of only "A years, and was with the Azbills on hunt ing trip from Phoenix. It is presum- ed he carried considerable money and this inducement led to his being killed.
 Attorney General Wiley Jones, who boarded the train out of Prescott yes terday for Phoenix, stated that if the Azbills make application for a parole, he will refuse to approve any such clemency to be extended them before the board of pardons. He said fur ther: q know the history of this murder, and further I am conversant with the reputation of the Azbill brothers. So far as 1 am to be con sidered, there will be no legal action taken to stop the execution as i'm posed by judge and jury"
