(From Sundays DaIrv)

Anton Bisjak wants sl,0O0 damages from the Arizona Land & Irrigation Company for the alleged failure of the latter to furnish his land with water, according to contract. With the intent of collecting that amount from the corporation he filed suit yes- terday with the clerk of the Superior court and lay bare his grievances as follows:

MAYER MAN WEDS
 HUMBOLDT GIRL
(From Sundays Daily)

Frank Wilson, a business man of Mayer and Miss May Larremorc were married Friday noon at Humboldt by Rev. P. A. Prescott. The wedding took place at the home of the bride, limited number of the friends and relatives of the contracting parties being present. Mrs. Henderson, the groom's sister, acted as bridesmaid and William Larremorc was best man. A turkey dinner followed the ccrc- mony.
 The couple stole away in the groom's auto, which was decorated with a washboard, old shoes, a big doll, signs and rice. After brief honeymoon. spent in Phoenix, Mir. and Mrs. Wilson will return to Mayer, at which place they will make their home.
 of England rate from 6 to 5H per cent was evidently made with similar intent. Announcement of new S250-, 100000 collateral British loan on a per cent basis attracted remarkably little attention, which is good evil dence of the growth of New York as a financial centre and its ability to conduct such large operations as matter of course. The loan will prob ably be readily underwritten. being free of the objections raised by the Federal reserve board on a recent occasion. HENRY CLEWS.

SMALL BOY HAD NOTICED
That He Knew Man In Khaki -
Marine Did Credit to His Powers
Of Observation.

A group Of youngsters was playing
on Riverside drive, says the New
York Times. A military man, dressed
In khaki and accompanied BY a young
lady, approached the group. The boys
stopped their playing and. with nudges
and gesticulation. were evidently try
ing to identify the man in khaki.
As the young lady and her escort
drew nearer, one youngster with an
air Of superior knowledge informed
his companions: "He's q United
States marine"
Overhearing the remark. the young
lady questioned the small boy: "How
do you know he Is a mariner"
"Why, lady," exclaimed the young
ster, "he wears an ornament on his hat
showing an eagle, globe and anchor,
but doesn't wear any hat cord"
The colored hat cords. yellow, blue
and red, help many civilians to recog-
nize at once cavalryman. an infan-
tryman or artilleryman. However. the
United States marine dressed In khaki
Ia still an enigma to many persons
who lack the powers of observation
displayed by the small boy on River
side drive.
