Solomonville, April 15.

Wm. M. Whipple of Pima sends us a communication complaining that he is mlsrepresented in the official proceedings of the Board of Supervisors as published in TIE CLARION. His communication is little too long for the crowded condition of our columns this week, but the substance is as fol- lows. He says: II did not apply for rebate on double taxation for 1887, but I did for double taxation for 1886; and the Board did not, after mature deliberation, come to the conclusion that there had been no double taxation for the same property for 1886, for it was con ceded by them that there had been double taxation for 1886 on the property that I represented; but the parties concerned had let the time pass when the Board could lawfully consider the claim"

The Devil Fish Described by Hugo

Is not more tenacious monster than malaria, whether it takes the form of chills and fever, bilious re- mittent, ague cake or dumb ague. Like the octopus of the story it clasps the victim in it's tentacul@, and folds him closer and closer in a horrible embrace. Attacked with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, however, it gradu- ally relaxes it's tremendous grip, fin ally abandons it, and the quondam sufferer, liberated at last, rejoices in the sense of new born freedom, en- gendered by the restoration of com- plete health. Dyspepsia, too, and constipation, those old and remorse- less enemies of the human family, give ground, and are finally driven from the field by this Napoleon of remedies, the greatest, the purest in the family rharmacopoeia. Rheuma- tism succumbs to it, so do kidney troubles. The nerves, when over strained, regained quietude and vigor by its aid and the ability to rest tran quilly and eat with zest are increased by it. Resort to it in time and avoid unnecessary suffering.

A Sad Death.

This community was inexpres- sibly shocked last Sunday morn ing by the news of the death of
 W. R. Thompson, who departed his life after an illness of only three days. The deceased has only very recently returned to Clifton from his home at Fl Dorado City, Kansas, where he had been on a visit to his folks, and while per haps not feeling we'll it was only last Thursday night that symp- toms of a really severe nature set in. He was tenderly cared for at the residence of Mrs. A. c. Rear den, but neither the most unre- mitting attention nor the best skill os our physician were able to check the approach of the dread messenger, and at 5 o'clock Sun day morning he unexpectedly and peacefully passed away while sit ting in a chair.
 Mir. Thompson came to this vicinity about eighteen months ago, and for the first year was em- ployed at Morenci, subsequently, accepting a position at Clifton, with the Arizona and New Mexico railway as fireman on our local road, which position he held until about two months since, when he resigned hls position and shortly afterward left for the East on visit. He was young man of steady habits and of good moral character, and was universally re- spocted and well thought of by all with whom he came in contact He was member in good stand ing of the Brotherhood of LOCO motive Bremen, owing local alle- glance to Cactus Lodge No. 94, of Tucson.
 The funeral services were held Monday afternoon from the resi- dence of Mrs. Rearden, the re- mains being followed to their rest ing place by a very large number of sincere mourners. The ma chine shops of the Arizona and New Mexico railway were closed out of respect to his memory.
 One of the saddest features of the young mans death was that he was betrothed to and was very soon to have married one of Cliff tons most attractive ladies, who, together with the far-away rela- tives of the deceased, have re- ceived the universal sympathy of the people of our camp.

GRAND JURY REPORT.
April Term. District Court. 1888.

Solomonville, Ariz., April F, 1888. To the Honorable W. H. Barnes, Judge of the First Judicial District.
 We, the grand jury empannelled for the April term, 1888, of the District Court in and for the couu- ty of Graham, beg leave to sub init the following report:
 We have found true bills as fol- lows:-Assault with intent to com nit murder, ?; grand larceny, 2; embezzlement, 1; burglary, |; rape, 1. Total, '.
 Cases presented and ignored, as follows:
 Assault with intent to commit murder, 2; assault with deadly weapons, 2; grand larceny, 2. Total, 6.
 The committees appointed to examine the books Of the county officials report having found them neatly kept and the duties per formed in a satisfactory manner
 We respectfully recommend the purchase of the following neces- sary furniture for the court room: One large table for the use of the clerk of the court; one and one half dozen high-backed, cushioned chars for the use of the grand jurors, and one dozen for the use of trial jurors. We also recom- mend that a railing be erected sep arating the bar from the lobby of the court room, and that the clerk of the court be furnished with a safe for the proper preservation of his books and papers.
 We further recommend the great necessity of cage being built in the county jail for the safe keeping of unmanageable prison CTS.
 Reports have been received in regard to J. A. Mormon, constable, precinct No. 3, Clifton, being de- relict in the performance of his official duties. Such conduct is preiudicial to the interests of the community, if not criminal, and is deserving of severe censure.
 We have the same grounds of complaint as former grand jurie5 in regard to parties endeavoring to gratify personal malice by pre- ferring charges of q frivolous char acter.
 We hereby tender our thanks to the Honorable w. H. Barnes, and to the District Attorney, for the assistance given us. We also re- turn thanks to our foreman, Mir. George W. Wells, and to our sec retory, J. E. Ohl.
