Dr. L. O. Toney, formerly a resident of East Mesa, is now located at Camp Oteason, Cochise Co., Arizona. He is physician for two or three mining companies at a good salary. He contemplates putting in a pumping plant on his almond farm in the near future.

Major James H. McClintock and Miss Dorothy G. Bacon were united in marriage at San Francisco June 15. The groom is well known to all the people of Arizona, and no one stands higher in their estimation than he. The bride graduated from Stanford University in last year's class, and this year took the degree of Master of Arts in botany. They will make their home at Phoenix. We extend congratulations to the happy couple.

Ben F. LeBaron is not doing much work these days. Last Sunday evening his wife presented him with a very fine and healthy girl. This is the first girl, and of course it is one of the finest in the land. Mother and child are doing very nicely.
