blacksmith was proud of his home ana

man named Torrey Hancock. And per-
haps sometimes they talked about the
wonderful spring that was famous for
his clear and sparkling waters, for this
was right at hand. Below the spot
where the spring gushed forth the

Phil Snodgrass, former resident, Is
visiting Phoenix and refreshing the
memories of the few old-tlmers who
remain, the Arizona Republican states.
Most Of them had forgotten the names
and even the existence of many of>the
residents of more than generation
ago. Mr.. Snodgrass recalls them oil
and has asked about them. He re-
members landmarks that long since
have disappeared and were forgotten
by those who had become familiar
with the buildings that had taken their
places.
The coming of Mr.. Snodgrass has
revived many incidents connected with
the lives Of the old-tlmers. III. L. Pat

Patrick received 1t back ne had L lev

Though Mr.. Patrick had paid 50 for
the decoration, he made no complaint
but repainted it himself after fash

Years afterward Patrick and Bick-
nell met in q saloon in Wickenburg
and in talking over old times both be-
came quite frank and outspoken.
"You remember" asked Patrick,
"that leveling rod you painted for meF'
Bicknell remembered 1t very well.
