The Florence Tribune excerpts a busy page with political anecdotes, census notes, irrigation discussion, and local quips. It mentions Arizona topics, federal irrigation aid, Bryan and McKinley debates, and jokes about local figures while hinting at upcoming elections and civic issues.
Tucson bondsmen held a meeting about defaulting County Treasurer Brady and levied costs to cover a judgment. A $60 share was forwarded after committee skirmishing. The paper notes Abram S Humphreys, former Florence resident, is named Circuit Judge of Hawaii by President McKinley, vindicating him against slanderous charges. The Times expresses pride in helping defend Humphreys and promote his reputation.
A long string of political and social items follow. Lux Teintse notes a 37 year friendship with Senator John M Thurston of Nebraska, efforts to interest him in A S Humphreys, and the appointment of Humphreys as Circuit Judge of Hawaii. Other items touch on election campaigns, Pima Indians ration issues, artesian water discovery at Indio California, a plan to spray oil on the Southern Pacific desert bed, and a Chamberlain’s tablet free sample promotion at Brockway’s drug store.
A Baltimore American piece recounts Mrs. Chase of Bangor investing $100 in United Verde copper stock in 1885. Despite losses from ore hauling and debt, the stock soared, yielding $50 monthly interest later and dramatic offers reaching into 1898. The narrative links W A Clark and Prof Treadwell, noting Mrs. Chase’s stubborn hold against higher bids as the mine’s prospects grew amid national speculation. The column also touches on Democratic political chatter and local editorials.
The man who died at Frank Wootan's ranch near Aravaipa was Bob Weaver. He had earlier been bitten by a skunk during a round-up near Table Mountain, developed fever, and was brought to the ranch where Dr. Parker treated him. The death, possibly from heart failure, poison, or a prior fall, remains uncertain. News from Nogales Oasis reports F S Maldonado passing Nogales en route to Guaymas and Culiacan, with business links in Casa Grande and Florence and a coastward plan to reach Sonora ports.
