Fragmentary text from a Tombstone Epitaph page notes publication cadence and unrelated garbled lines. It mentions Saturdays and Arizona, with unclear additional strings resembling puzzles or notices. No readable names, dates, or events are present to anchor a distinct item.
The document proclaims a Thanksgiving Day in the Territory of Arizona on November 26, 1895. It notes gratitude for agricultural, educational, moral, and religious progress, calls for public business to suspend, and urges worship and divine thanks. It references Grover Cleveland’s proclamation, the Great Seal, and Governor Louis C. Hughes. The piece also mentions political notes, a funeral, a desert ice palace in Leaping, and Cochise county copper prospects amidst broader regional mining activity.
A spate of Bisbee incidents includes a Mexican man fatally shot after an altercation with Billy Quinn, a worker burned by exploding lag water, and another Mexican man fatally or nearly so from a flag pot blow. Deaths also include Charley Swith, a Tombstone resident, with prior heart trouble. Reports detail accidents, court business, and social events, plus mining notices and local arrivals.
A fragmented column discusses women’s piety and societal expectations attributing duties to mothers, with a stray line about a horse brand and a contact for Chris Grauer in Don Cabane A. T. A sale item mentions a black walnut top bar counter end shelving and a burglar alarm or related item, indicating multiple classified fragments.
