A gratifying spectaclo was witnessed near Wasington and Maricopa streets night before last soon after dark. A well known merchant with his wife was sitting on tho sidwalk in front of his place of business when n man commonly known as "Frenchy" came alone. "Frenchy" was well dressed and of mashing proclivities. As he passed the gentleman and his wife, though un unacquainted - acquainted unacquainted with either, he raised his hat and saluted impudently. He went on down the.street but soon returned. In the mean time tho mer merchant - chant merchant had stepped into tho store for a moment and was still inside when "Frenchy" re-appeared. The masher accosted tho lady familiarly and remark remarked - ed remarked that hu was unmarried, and inquired of her if sho could give him a pointer which would enable him to simulate tho matrimonial relation. Just at this mo moment - ment moment tho merchant came out and over overheard - heard overheard tho insulting question. Ho planted his right fist on "Frenchy's" jaw and the masher turned a somersault across the ditch into the street. He was allowed to regain his feet' when another pile-driving blow flattened him. This time he got up running and yelling "murder; police," and otherwise indicated that he was in soro need of more thorough protection than the McKinley bill has thrown around the tin industry. He eecaned down Maricopa street and took refuge in a corral where ho lay all day vesterday nursing his shattered jaw and injurcd'vanity. This incident is chiefly interesting on account of its execediug rarity. The masher is a seldom bird in Phoenix and the dude by reason of his scarcity in this -community is classified with Gila monsters brought in from tho desert by the Indians, arid other specimens o'f creation either nearly extinct or never abundant. Thcie is possibly no other place between the Atlantic and Pacific where a lady is so secure from insult as in Phoenix and the outcome of this iso isolated - lated isolated instance will have tho effect of
