WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1887. Charles A. Royce is paying El Paso ‘a business visit. A.M. Patterson returned from Solomonville on Friday. Pat Keough and J. R. Haigler, of the Coronado ranch, spent Sun day in Clifton. Governor Zulick’s quarantine proclamation against the importa tion of cattle subject to pleuro pneumonia will be found in an other column. Miss Maud Wester left for her old,home in Chattanooga, Tenn . yesterday, but we are happy in the hope that she will return to us again in the fall. W.S. Barnum left for El Paso yesterday. It is probable that he will engage in business there. In his absence the two Billys and Frank will hold down the Cor onado and Tip-Top. The report which is current in Clifton that Billy Williams was placed in charge of the ins herd while under attachment by Sheriff Crawford is incorrect. Mr. William Forbes was the party in charge. The citizens of Morenci are get ting somewhat tired of the pro miscuous shooting that is going opi thatermp. We don't have that sort of fan down our way, be cause we've got a constable that attends to his business. Cascaritla Eppalito, an Italian from the Metcalf, was arrested last Saturday and tried before Judge Blank for larceny. He was charged with stealing ten dollars from P. H. Quinn, was found not guilty, by a jury, and discharged. The attention of cut renders is called to the advertisement of Mr. George Lanpher, Solomonville, harnessmaker and saddler. Mr. Lanpher supplies“a long felt want” and by establishing his business at the county seat will undoubtedly b enefit the settlers and we trust himself. . Constable Jim Smith arrested on Sunday an hilarious son of Montezuma for shooting his little ean in the street of this metropolis. | Judge Black attended to this case, | collecting some money from fuel which will be used for running the county machinery. | The serpents trail, reported last week by Benton Jones Co, and alleged to have been seven inches, wide, has turned out, so says Dan Ward, to be the road made by a wandering turtle—and so that what might have gone on record as a first-class snake story all proven to be an ordinary turtle trifle. Caesar Gasparini, the tensorial artist with the balmy breath, acted as interpreter in the Italian-Irish trouble last week. He was import ed, we believe, for that purpose es pecially, and the liquid Genoese flew so smoothly and rapidly from his purple lips in behalf of his countryman, that a conviction of Garibaldi for “rolling” Patrick was not to be imagined. We call attention of our readers to the advertisement of Cutter Londy, Thomas, which will be found on the third page. Both of these gentlemen are all Cliftonites and are well known for their busi ness qualifications. They have located at Thomas to stay and will therefore use their best endeavors to build up a lucrative trade by entering to the wants of their cus tomers. . PH. Quinn was arrested last Wednesday, charged with assault with a deadly weapon on an Ital ian at the Metcalf, named Gara baldi Salvini, or something else. Quinn who had been on a spree for several days, and was making himself generally obnoxious, was given an opportunity to sober up by Judge Blank, who consigted him to the “hole in the wall” for thirty days. Ike Clanton was killed at Wil son's ranch, or the Blue, on the morning of the 1st, by Detective Brighton, of Apache county. Dep uty Sheriff Miller, of Apache, wanted Clanton for some work al leged to have been done in that county, and in company with Brighton was on track. The officers stopped overnighb on the 1 0th altime at Wilson's, and as they were eating their breakfast the next morning Clanton rode up to the ranch. When he saw the of ficers he reached for his Winches ter rifle, which was fastened to his saddle, and in the act was fired at twice by Brighton, the first shot passing through the exnde of Clan ton’s saddle and the second pass ing through his body from right to left just below the armpits, killing him instantly. There were rat indictments against Clifton for cattle at P ihe Solomonville Sistings. Me. and Mrs. Adolph Solomon, who were visiting ther kinsfolk here, returned home. Bowie Sta tion, well pleased with their visit. Pioneer Sam Drachman has also gone home, and I learn that he has been laid up with, Sam says, rheumatism, but it is gout, Sam, sure—overdose of chicken and champagne. That is the way vis itors are treated in this valley. We don’t want a rash, however, until the boom commences. Henry Fowler has removed his household effects to Thomas, where he and his family will reside in future. Henry has charge of the corral attached to the establish ment of Carter Leahy, which of itself is sufficient guarantee that stock placed there will be properly cared for. Little Steve, Graham's favorite citizen, took his departure Monday. His trip brought quick results, as on Thursday District Attorney Bolan received information that he was appointed a member of the Territorial Board of Equalization, and was expected at Prescott by the 6th proxime. Mr. Bolan took his departure Triday, with the good wishes of all here. I feel certain that Pete will do justice to the people and credit to himself in this responsible position. There may be many more religious men in Arizona than Mr. Bolan, but where energy and ability are re quired he is the equal of any. There Josh Bailey has gone in to the sheep business, having pur chased 2,000 head from Mr. Hil dreth, of Texas, Josh says it is all a mistake that sheep and cattle will not ramn together, anyhow he is going to experiment and if the cattle will not remain they can ro ani no Toss to him, as they belong to others, Solomonville is improving fast. ‘The last adition is a harness and saddler’s shop, an institution much needed in this vicinity. Mr. Geo. Lanpher is the proprietor, and having thirty years experience he will undoubtedly be able to give satisfaction and make the business sufficiently remunerative as to justify him to remain permanently. Mr. Colwell P. Leitch has taken up his residence at his new ranch, about ten miles south of there on the Bowie road. His cattle will follow in a fews. Mrs. Leitch with her two children has gone to Tucson to remain until such time as the necessary improvements are made on the ranch to enable them to live comfortably. The news from the valley i rather exciting. On Wednesday at San Carlos, trouble arose be tween two bands of Indians which ended in an attempt being made to murder Capt. Pierce, the agent, and Al Sieber, the chief of scouts. The Captain escape with a hole for two brought his coat, but poor Sieber was not so fortunate hav ing been struck by a bullet below the knee, shattering the bone, which may probably cause him the loss of his leg, if not his life The Indians, about 16 in number, ship ped to the mountains, going south. Four companies of cavalry, two from Grant and two from Thomas, are in pursuit and it is probable by this time that the Indians are captured, as they have no Isader j and it was not premeditated. _ Lion! Reed. 10h cavalry, who was recently tried at Fort Thomas by court martial, was fond guilty on one of the counts and sentenced to be reprimanded. Fred M. Newell, our deputy county treasurer, has been award ed the contract for carry mail on the route just established between Thomas and Grant. Ser view will be tri-weekly and will commence on the 1st proximo. Mr. Newell has not yet decided as to the manner in which he will carry the mail, pack animals or buck board—probably the latter —if the travel will at all justify it. The ice machine for the post hospital, at Thomas, has been re ceived and will be placed in posi tion immediately,as the appropria tion, both for this and the water works, will not be available after the 39th instant, hence the neces sity to rush the work. The sale of the personal prop erty of the Collins estate took place as advertised, on the 1st in stant, Mr. Ming, the administra tor, received but three bids, as follows: William Hibbard, $1,500; Louis Voolekel, $2,023; H. A. Morgan , $2,517. Mr. Morgan being the highest bidder the property was sold to Lim and will be turned over as soon as the sale has been confirmed. Mrs. Christine Alexander and Mrs. Andrew Alexandr, with her two children, are visiting Thomas the guests of Jake Meers. Mrs. Dixon, of Tasson, is also siting Thomas the guest of her daughter, Mrs. H. A. Morgan. Frank Storey, who a short time age accidentally slots himself, is still in the post hospital, but im proving. The military reservation at Fort Grant is to be fenced. This will work a hardship on the small owners in the vicinity, as the only running water to be had is on the reserve. Thhey will have to rustle, however, as it is only a question of time before the fence will be erected. The public school at Central closed last week after a session of eight months. The average at tendance was fifty and the pupils made good progress, which reflects much credit on the teacher, Mr. W.W. Cameron. Census returns of the children of school age have been received from all districts but four, Dancan, Clifton,Thomas and Cur tis. When all are heard from a tab ulated statement will be furnished for publication, Gra. Solomonville, June 5, 1887. Frank Woodard's Hot Springs are visited daily by invalida and appreciated by them. The closing exercises of the Clif ton school took place on last Fri day evening. Without wishing to detract from the glory of either of the young Indies and gentlemen who displayed their mental attain ments on the occasion, we could not but notice the deserving ap plause that was given by a dis criminating and critical audience to the performances of Misses Jessie Pomeroy, Jessie and Belle Russell. That Miss Wester has trained them in the way they should go cannot be doubted by one who witnessed the exhi bition. A very rich strike in silver has just been made about fifteen miles from here. ‘The location is at the head of Chase creek, and the lncky men are Bob Hanna, Andy Mi lleck Grant and Charley Hanson. From an assay unde 245 to 275 ounces in silver was obtained, be sides several dollars in gold. The discoverers have spent several days in town buying provisions and completing their outfit. They returned yesterday and propose to develop their claims thoroughly. They have about three feet of the above ore, which is about the richest thing we know of in ths vicinity. HL. B. Porter lost a horse from the Coronado lane about three years ago, when Dave Nesbit, Dan Dowd and the rest of the “rustlers” made this section troublesome for travelers. Last Thursday Mr. Porter saw his horse in the streets of Clifton, ridden by a man whose name we did not learn, and who, upon interrogation concerning his possession of the horse, «firmed that he got the animal of Ike Clan ton, the man killed by the Apache county officers last. Wednesd An notion of replevin for the pos session of the property was imme diately commenced by Mr. Porter and the case comes up for trial this week. KOHLBERG BROS. El PASO, THESAS.

That the cattle interests of the ‘Territory are greatly endangered by the preva lence of this plague in the said States owing to importations of cattle therefrom, and Whereas, The immense catire in terests of Arizona are thus men aced and a heavy loss upon this one of the most important of our in dustries is liable to occnr, unless precautionary measures are adopt ed. Beautiful, cool and soft are these moonlight nights of ours just now. They ought to be soft, for they see more softness in the few hours of their existence than a year of red hot days. They see a young stag take his girl out into the road or into the bushes and talk more soft track to her, than he'd work in during all the sultry days of his existence. The young man will also think in the moonlight that he's “awfully clevah,” that no hero ever are love to a woman like he is doing. He and the patient girl at his side probably think alike on the subject. They don’t think they are soft like the moon, but they are probably the only folks on the face of the earth who don’t. He don’t think when he slips his brawny arm around the pit of her back and tastes her under the nose that he may be number steen in the row that has been there be fore. He also don't think that he’ going to kick himself next day, when he’s hot and sweaty, for his moonlight breaks, made the night before. In fact what he don’t think in the moonlight is a great deal more and of greater consequence in life than what he does think. A dastardly attempt to wreck a train on the “baby” gauge of the Arizona Company, between Clif ton and the wines, was made last Thursday by the throwing of a switch by some unknown miscre ant. The engine was ditched and capsized but not badly injured, and Arbuckle, the engineer, painfully though not seriously bruised, and led to be con gratulated on his narrow es cape from more serious results. He was confined to his room for a day, let we are pleased to note his presence on the streets again. ‘The fireman also sustained slight injuries, but is back at his pice of duty again. ‘The train was heavily laden with material and passen gers, and had its speed been greater at the time of the accident there is a probability that we should have been called upon to chronicle | | a terrible disaster.
