street, We took look at the inside of the
buildings occupied by the schools, and
while we found everything very tidy, the
ceilings having been nicely whitened and |
the walls repapered, we noticed that the !
desks and benches were in most dilapi- |
lated condition, many OF the benches not |
having any backs to them, while others |
have what are supposed to be backs. |
Thi; school furniture is the old home |
made pine penches and desks. and have
been in use for about eleven years, dur
ing which time they have been removed
from one building to another several times,
and subjected to the rough usages that
all school furniture is by children, has
become badly broken up and unfit for
use any longer. As it must be the desire
of parents to have their little ones COM
fortably seated while at school, it GER
tainly should be the pride of every
good citizen that Phoebe should have her
schools furnished with furniture suitable
with the wants and requirements of the
school.rooms. As our school fund is not
in plethoric state, and as the weather
is growing cool, we would suggest that
the School Trustees. aided by our citi-
zens, get up a dance, such as they did
last winter, with view of accommodating
funds for the purpose of purchasing suit
able furniture for our schools. There is
to-day but one school-house furnished in
a suitable manner in the county, and that
is at Panaca. Let us take example from
our neighbors.
The TRIAL.-The examination into the
killing of Ed. Coffey by Lew Carpenter
was commenced before Justice Goodrich
on Tuesday, and is dragging slowly along,
and will probably take the whole of next
week. There have been forty odd wit
nesses subp9naed to appear, and may be
more. From what We can personally
learn in regard to the shooting, having
conversed with most of those who wit
messed the atfray, it appears to us as
though Carpenter acted purely in self
defence, yet there. will be some very con-
fiicting testimony given in the investiga-
ton. As the people have cooled down,
many of the wild runners set afloat i'm
mediately after the atfray have proven
utterly false.
JAcKRABsIT had group OF wells until
Monday night, when they all suddenly
disappeared. 1t is nothing strange about
the water in wells disappearing suddenly
in the mountain country, but when it
comes to whole group of wells-water,
holes and all-disappearing so suddenly
and not leaving trace behind to mark
the spot where they once were, it is in
deed a strange phenomenon. However,
these wells left their mark. behind in
Phoebe, in the shape of q number Of unpaid
bills. The Wells family appear to be
frauds, and have gone either to Frisco or
Silver Reef, and the merchants at those
places will do well to look out for this
outfit.
TO-DAY is the anniversary Of the indie
pendence of Mexico, also the eleventh
anniversary Of the entire destruction Of
Phoebe by the fiery element, when moth.
