noted in the bulletins revived the hopes

The snooks-Bryenf AFFAIR.

regarding the affair have become so vol
luminous that we have concluded to de-

Bryant shooting affair, and will leave
the courts to decide who WIS guilty in
the premises. There seems lo be feel
ing of bitterness between Edison and his
neighbors, and their statements appear to
be colored somewhat by their feel
ings. But as Shocks is under bonds to
appear for trial in the fall there
will doubtless be an opportunity Of
foFded to bring out all the facts in
the case. The communication sent us
by DIR. Edison is very lengthy. 1t
charges in substance that the girl Lizzie
Bryant was burglar and was conclu-
sively proven To have been in the act of
ransacking trunk when discovered.
He also charges that the neighbors
around him have made capital out
of the affair against him when
there was nothing to build on but their
spleen. The neighbors on the other
hand deny that they have been stirred TO
envy by the financial success of the doc
tor, and that they are not a malicious
people nor bear Shocks or Edison any
i'll will, but are not satisfied with the
manner in which the. Bryant
girl was disposed of. As lhere
would be no end, apparently, to what
we Must consider profltless discussion
of the affair, we will, as before stated,
wait for further Developments in the
case until the trial of Shocks.

A Little On

Tuesday morning Marshal johnson was
informed that Richard CLARK, living in
the large stone tenement house on the
south side of Sixth avenue, between
Market and Mechanics streets, had dis.
turbed the peace of the neighborhood
during the night by his strange conduct,
and his repeated threats Of suicide so
alarmed his wife that she sent for po-
liceman, who remained with Clark till
this morning. Upon proceeding to the
house the marshal found Clark ia con-
ditiOn of great mental agitation and APP
paranily suffering from extreme nervous
excitement. He had an open knife in
one hand which he endeavored to con,
ceal behind him, but which he reluctantly
SURE ndered when the marshal made q
motion TO draw his revolver from his
pocket. johnson then arrested him and
took him to Jail, where he is at this
writing. He wept bitterly when taken
into custody. and says that he is prey
to grief growing out of domestic
troubles.

dered him al the close of the convention
was well earned recognition of his
services.
There were some spirited bursts OF
eloquence in the nominating speeches of
several members on Saturday. Among
others T. ]. Fleming got ''rattling"

would be difficult to tell how much Mr..
Chalfant is indebted to Col. J. w.
Feighan for his nominating speech.
From Ivy precinct the set of delegates
elected at Fairview were admitted to
the convention. The set elected from
the site of the burned school horse had
no credentials, and the other set were
deemed more fairly entitled to seats in
the convention.
Il dramatic feature of Col. Feighan's
speech was the exhibition of the bali
from which Mr. Chalfant received his
wound. and which was dug out of his
flesh.
In accordance with resolutions unan.
imously adopted by the convention the
successful candidates kept the hail sap

Others may have been killed, but
they could count up but sixty-five.
They got away with 400 horses and
mules, four or five thousand dollars in
money that they know of and probably
more. They have all left the Territory
and are back in Old Mexico with the

left at Socorro, while the men went 10
their mines in the De Ghatta Mountains.
On their return they camped at Spring
Canyon, twenty miles from Socorro,
when Finney and Clapp went into that

were to go out Saturday morning but
got ready and came to the camp Friday
evening. This probably saved their
lives, as between Socorrn and the camp
five men were killed Saturday morning.
EARLY Saturday morning, and before
they had heard of the massacre, Finney
and Clspp went out twelve miles to a
camp. After they had gone a man came
in and informed Colonel Houston and
the ladies of the massacre. They i'm
