 s. W. Pomeroy, the new con
 tractor on the Bowie and Fort
 Thomas stage llne, has been in this
 vicinity for the past week purchas-
 ing horses for use on the llne. He
 succeeded in procuring all requIr-
 ed at present and these are pro
 nounced by competent judges to
 be as fine as could be procured in
 any section of tho country. The
 stages in use at present are only
 for temporary service as MT. Pom
 eroy has ordered two two-horse
 Concord coaches which will be put
 on as soon as received. The peo-
 pie along the route rejoice that the
 day of condemned horses and
 second hand buckboards, used by
 the last contractor, is past.

 Both ditches, the Montezuma | and San Jose, were drained last 1 week in order to thoroughly over haul them preparatory to corn and | bean planting.

 I regret to state that the citizens of this valley are about to lose the services of Dr. A. s. Ad- Ter The doctor was recently call ed to Globe on professional busl- ness and while there was offered { such encouragement as to induce , lim to remove to that place. This will probably work a hardship to she citizens here until the doctors s place can be supplied, but no one { an blame the doctor for trying to z better his condition.
 Manuel Sanches, who was re , ,ently sentenced from Clifton to ;ix months for petit larceny, and { who had been hired to Geo. H. 6 Stevens committed himself again. It seems while in the performance q 1f some duty he visited Sheriff room and distracted rom the closet pair of valuable t sleeve buttons, gold collar and c shirt studs. The sleeve buttons f were found on Sanches' person :, o-day and he will probably be ! ried again for larceny. |
