 Mrs. Wm. G. Lantz, of Phoenix, and her two sons, are here visiting Mrs. Lantz' mother, Mrs. M. Scarborough, and her sister, Mrs. J. E. Jones. Prof. J. c. Creager, president of the Normal, was in Phoenix couple of days the first of the week on busi- ness connected with the big school.

 All the criminal cases pending hay ing been disposed of, the superior court was adjourned to Tuesday morning, when the few civil cases docketed will be taken up.
 D. P. Rupe and Oliver Garland, of Garland Prairie, came to town the other day and bought new threshing machine from J. w. Francis. It will be operated by a dozen or more of the farmers of that vicinity. Hon. R. E. Morrison, of Prescott, was in Flagstaff Wednesday trying cases before Judge Jones in the su- perior court. He left yesterday morn- ing for his home, but will be back again on legal business next Tuesday. Wilson & Coffin, the plumbers, are laying the foundation for a one-story extension at the rear of their present will be of brick and galvanized iron, 50 feet long by 20 feet wide, and will be used for workroom, the firms present quarters being much too small for convenience.
 Chief Burgomeister Fitzmorris, of Cliffs, sent in hurry-up call yester- day for new hand car with pump handles on it. A carload of ties got carless and slid down into it and bumped it off into the ditch. There was only handful of the good old car left. The wrecker had to come up and pick up the carload of ties.
 Arthur, son of Bird Tannehill, of Garland Prairie, has written the "old man" that he got back from France three weeks ago, to Texas, where he enlisted, and that he was married two weeks ago and is going to stay in the Lone Star State. Elmer, another son, is home on furlough. He was badly wounded and, not caring to be dis charged while he was disabled, re- enlisted.
 B.. L. Hilburn, formerly of the First National Bank of this city, but now with the Royal Duke Oil Co.,, of Texas, has just come to town. He is enthusiastic over conditions in the field, and is here to interest his many friends in a new refinery to be built to take care of the output of his com pany's wells. Mrs. Hilburn left Fort Worth with him, but stopped to visit friends at Fl Paso, intending to come on here later.
 Truswell's orchestra is having a busy time of it these nights. Friday night it played at the Normal dance, Tuesday night at the Elks' dance, Wednesday night at the hop at Trus- wells dance hall, Thursday night at Lake Mary, tonight it will furnish the music for the dance at the Elks' pavilion and Saturday night at Trus- wells hall again. After awhile the boys can sleep while they play-they will get so proficient, if they keep that gait going.
 Simplicio Torez, the Mexican mur- derer who is to die at Florence for the murder of Vic. E. Melick, will go before Judge J. E. Jones today or to- morrow for sentence, this having been delayed to give his attorney, Mercer Hemperley, who has been away for a few days, ample time to file an ap- peal should he desire to do so. It is likely that the sheriff will take Torez and the two Indians convicted for kill ing Charles Hubbell, to Florence at the same time.
