Late last night Burt Alvord paid a visit to Tombstone in a low profile call that drew little public attention. No visible object or motive accompanied the stop. Local residents reported no unusual activity or confrontation during the nocturnal appearance.
A report places Bart Alvord and an unnamed companion in Tombstone near midnight visiting Mrs. Book at her home, seeking canned fruit. Officers traced a trail from her house toward Fairbank, with witnesses hearing two men pass. The tale, though doubted, prompts renewed search for the train robber and his partner Bravo Juan.
Fairbank correspondence reports a Mexican charged with assault and flight from police near Contention, a dramatic shooting incident, and a manhunt aftermath. It notes railroad developments from Fairbank to Phoenix, personnel changes, visits by Mrs Franklin and Buffalo Bill events, dam construction plans, and local social updates including a fortune teller and a casino carnival preview.
A visiting party led by Mr. Gene Frank Murphy of the Developmen t Company of America inspected the Tombstone Con Mines Co project. Officials including E B Gage and W F Stanton praised progress while noting near completion of graded road work toward Tombstone. The group, en route to Phoenix and Prescott, departed after expressing gratification with the enterprise.
O B Sten, president of the Ew roke mining company, departed today for Los Angeles on a business trip to discuss ongoing operations and potential ventures.
