About four weeks ago, Mrs. Schaff,
OF Center precinct, went out to milk
the cows, leaving two small children,
in the house. She had been gone
but short time, when one of the
children, girl, we believe, aged
about four years, ran screaming TO
her, its clothes enveloped in flames.
1t was badly burned, and after suf-
fering intensely, died last Saturday.
1t is not known exactly how the
child's clothes took fire.-Butler Co.

 Ne desire 10 impress upon the paolis us gsteral,saAd oae lerltorial lggislators in particular. the necessity of building a gooa wagon road from Globe to Camp spaehe, and by this means giving to Camp Apache and the large agricultural district iu that sioinisE anpAtler ana a u.arket ip tbe the interior of the Territory.
 ghefe IS already 85 miles of good road from Globe, via MeAllllen, to the Timber Camp, on the northern slope If tke San Carlos mountains. From the Timber Camp to Apache is about 40 miles This distance viA require some grading where slio road would descend toward BIack river, and along White river near it's mouth Persons acquainted with the route sssle 1hatlt is perfectly feasible, and will require but ligtle grading to make 2 good road.
 By building the uew road from Globe to Florence, north of the Piual monmhps, oar distance from the Southern Pacific railroad Uhen the latter is completed to Tucson will be about SD miles, thus making the distance from Apache to the railroad I55 miles, whereas its distance from Albaqaef4ue,~tAe nearest pomesoa the Atchison, Topeka < Santa Fe railroad, will be 800 miles.
 Heretofore nearly all the freight. for Camp Ap.Fche has come from the east, on account oe there not having been a practicable road into the in- terior os Arizona but as soon as a good road is balt from Globe to Apachs, some of the freight for Apache and she large agrieal- tarsl district in that vicinity vii surely pass over this road, and the distance from Globe to Albuquerque will be over 200 miles shorter than
