splendid condition at Navajo Station, on
the A. & P. railroad, three OF the pref
test thoroughbred Galloways ever in
trodUced IN the country-as black as
coal, long lustrous coats, tame as house
cats and as playful as kittens. This is
why we laugh; he thought OF this
generation bel.olding for themselves
these beautiful creatures filing orr
mountain sides and our valleys, grazing
peacefully about the quiet homes of set
tiers and within full view OF the school
house and the sounds of the church bell,
a country in which, few years ago, the
wild apache chased the antelope and
deer, and filed the civilized world with
horror by their inhuman crimes against
the pioneers who had the courage to at
tempt a home within their lines. The
days Of blood are happily past, and tie
blessings OF peace ere with us. We ap-
pend an account of these aristocratic
9uadrupeds as received from Mr. A. L.
Morrison, bred from such notable stock
We are not surprised that they hold their
noses go "way up'': Harvest King"
thoroughbred Galloway bull, owned by
A. L. Morrison & Sens, of Morrison
ranch, apache county, Arizona, calyed
in Scotland March Goth, 1898, imported
by Leonard Brothers, OF Missouri-sire,
Bob 2nd of the Queen dam Kate End OF
the Queen by Bob of Lairdlaugh. Bob
2nd OF the Queen was by Bob of the
Queen a prominent prize taker at Castle
Douglas the only time he was shown.
His sire was Sir Garnet son of Flying
Dutchman, whose offspring has been
distinguished for their superior and reli-
able breeding qualities. Bob, OF Laird
laughs dam was by Bob Roy OF Laird
laugh whose sire Nelson produced some
very superior stock in the herd of James
Cunningham, OF Tarbreoch, Scotland.
Morrison & Sons have also purchased
two beautiful graded calf bulls hall
breeds between Galloway and Hereford
stock. The Harvest King. although one
year and eleven months Old, weighs 1900
pounds and the calves weigh nearly 700
pounds each, they are ten months old.
They are certainly the finest cattle ever
brought into this territory. We are glad
to note this as one of the many proofs
which our ranchmen are giving of their
determination to improve the stock o;
the territory and we hope this example
will be followed by all of our enterpris-
ing citizens who arc in this great and
growing country.

THE KILLING OF JOHN SINGER.

We take from the Las Vegas Daily
Optic OF the 9th inst. the following ac-
count of the killing of john Singer BIZ G.
w. Stoneroad. one of the most promi-
nent men in the Southwest. The calam-
itous results OF night where wiiskev
gives direction to the current thought
and assumes the office of speaker in the
debate, is here truthfully, faithfully re-
fected. The acquaintances OF Stoneroad
are appalled, at his position in this affair
He has ever borne an cnviable reputa-
ton; was known to possess one o! the
most peaceful dispositions, kind heart
and generous soul; they cannot now be
made to believe that he would wi!iullv
deprive any man OF his lie, no matter
what the circumstances might be, save
and except, in obedience to that law
whose mandates will submit TO no argu-
ment-the impulsiye law OF self preser-

About three months ago William +.
Ellsworth, of Show Low, was indicted
for polygamy; taken before the United
States Commissioner at Prescott; placed
under two thousand dollars bonds, and
Messrs Robert and James Scott became
his bondsmen. A few weeks ago the
Scott brothers noticed mysterious move
ments in and about the Ellsworth man
sion, and being little suspicious, they
Kept all eye Oh their polygamous neigh
boz; not seeing him for two or three days
they made inquiries at his home and
found, to their dismay, that he had flown
10 more congenial chimes, meier to return
again to his abode on the prolific banks
of the Show Low. AS this sudden exit
OF the cunning Ellsworth lett them in the
lurch to the tune of two thousand dollars,
they Immediately started pc t-haste on
his trail and succeeded in overtaking
him before he had reached the Mormon
stronghold; brought him back, and COM
PEELED him to transfer to them a sufficient
portion of bis property as security for
the amount of the bonis on which they
had placed their names as sureties.
