Tombstone epitaph., 1888-02-18

This is the highest price that has been pad for large bunch of beeves in this market for several years. It proves that the cattle business is again reaching substantial basis, and that Grant county is better situated for good prices than any other section of New Mexico. The stockmen of this section from now on have choice of either the eastern or western markets, but for this season the beef will go west. California, owing to lhe rapid advance of land there, is practi. cally out of the beef growing business, and both Arizona and Nevada are pretty we'll drained of beef; consequently an advance, even above } cents for choice fat beeves in this section, is among the probabilities for the next sixty days.-Sil yer City Enterprise.
 The Southern California market has proven god-send to our cattlemen, wht however have made the mistake of dis posing of their surplus beef at much les
 han above named prices. Those whe
 have beef left should not think of selling
 for less than 3 cents, which is a fair living l priCe
Tombstone epitaph., 1888-02-18
SHERIDAN FOR PRESIDENT.

The New York Herald, while strongly advocating the reelection of Cleveland, has this to say about General Sheridan:
 "With Sheridan in the canvass, this is to be considered: One of the first soldiers of this or any age, ranked by Grant as in military genius equal to the Great Napo- leon; the embodiment of the proudest achievements of the war; the son of a poor Irish peasant, who had risen by his merit before he was thirty.thres-to- inc highest military command; ripe in civil experience; bearing throughout his glor- ious career the white plume of stainless and honored name; chivalrous, adored, ilustrious, in the prime of life even yet a young man, never swayed by political temptations, to-day in the brilliancy and immortality of his fame the foremost public man in the Union this is Sher- dan !! With such a candidate, whether he run as republican or democrat, the result might we'll be in doubt.
 "lt would be no less in question even with Cleveland as a candidate and the united democracy behind him. Cleve- land is great civil magistrate, but he is no greater than John Qaincy Adams. And Jackson, who defeated Adams after four years of a matchless administration, had no stronger hold on the people than Sheridan.
 "While so many hopes justly centre in the success of Cleveland. it is mistake, we repeat, to look at things as we would like to have them and not as they are. And in this view the Sheridan boom will bear careful scrutiny from Brother Cleve. land and Brother Blaine"
Tombstone epitaph., 1888-02-18
KEEP YOUR MONEY AT HOME.

The practice that some people in small towns have of ordering goods from travel ing drummers, instead of spending their money in the community where they earn it, is entirely wrong. Those who resort to such practice do so simply to save a paltry sum of money, and such a course IS the very acme of stinglness.
 Small towns are built up by the public spirit of the citizens, and the men who earn money and spend it elsewhere neut. ralize the efforts of progression and en- terprise.
 Such men should be spotted and treated like drones in the hive. Some excuse themselves on the ground of hard times, not realizing how much they are contributing to this same stagnaton. It IS uphill work for a smalltown to make any progress against such adverse in f1uence. They embrace all classes, from the citizen who buys his groceries by the wholesale in San Francisco, to the women who think they must send elsewhere for their little articles of inery.
 When tradesman is endeavoring to make simply fair profit, he has a right to expect the patronage of the town he lives in, and deserves it.-Nevada (CalD Transcript.

AN ANEcporE ABOUT COL, ARKiN

AN ANEcDoTE ABOUT COL, ARKiNS.
 When Jack Arkins threw up his leases" on the Globe Democrat to go to Texas to take the foremanship of the Dallas Times his old friends, including the present ed
 ,or of the EPITAPH, gave him a good send-cff. Little did they dream that the future proprietor of the Denver News and one of the wealthlesr newspaper men in the West was made of such stern stuff as was afterwards proven. One Sun- day evening while in Dallas foraging expedition was organized under the lead ership of Jack on neighboring water melon patch. It was beautiful coal black night, but the Granger who owned the watermelons was "on." As the boys were skirmshing around the patch the Granger turned loose hls old shotgun, loaded with small gravel stones, and Jack caught portion of the load in his pos terior anatomy. The only result was to accelerate the speed of the raiders as they raced for town. A doctor was called | in, and after he had cut out one of the missiles, Jack feebly asked, "Why was that stone like the capital of neighbor- ing State ?" The doctor, intent upon his duty, of course gave it up, and asked why. "Because it was a Little Rock in Arkansaw." The doctor never recovered
 but Jack lived to become known to fame as Col. John Arkins, the poet and hu-
 norst of the Rocky Mountains.

The EPlTAPH must take issue W,

The EPITAPH must take issue with it's esteemed daily contemporary with re. , >-gAEd to tie statement that Judge Barnes Sintimated, in rendering his decision in the Kitter case, that Mir. Ritter was en. titled to the money. The Judge gave no such intimation; he distinctly stated that he was not called upon to decide that
 matter. The question came up simply [ on the right of an officer to withhold in 1887 fees which he claimed to be due him Tn ISS56. Judge Barnes decided emphatically that an officer had no such right. On this decision an appeal has been taken to the Supreme Court. If, as the Prospector says, the Judge con. cedes the tax collectors right to the fees, why does not Mir. Ritter pay the $6S45 I9 into the county treasury, pre- sent his bill for the same, and if the SUI. pervisors refuse to allow the clam. com. mencs~ sui, instead of carrying the case to the Supreme Court on side issue The fact is, the Judge gave no such inti- nation.
Tombstone epitaph., 1888-02-18

stone was something of show itself. But they did not get out of the way any too soon. The Mexican lions and tigeL two bears and a couple of animals of lesser depredations were turned loose, and the cowboys and stage robbers, and simple honest men who had no charac- teristic occupation were soon enjoying a royal hunt on the prairie. And such a hunt. The lions ran and the tigers fought The lions were wise, for the tiger would soon be thing of beauty without life, while lions had good start for the Huachucas, and were heading there with excellent prospects of outrunning those who pursued them. The lions beat the race and struck the mountains without
 being downed. For months afterwards, hunting parties to take in the escaped lions was the fashionable dissipation of Tombstone. The elephant had a hard time of it. He would reither fight nor run. He stood his ground and was taken to Tombstone. His entre to Tombstone in the evening was memor- able. The whole town was drunk and turned out to welcome the distinguished arrival Ioyce's and Mehan's saloons the, two rival establishments had already voted that the elephant should be owned by the town in common, and should be under the guardianship of Leslie Blackburn, the chief of the fire department. The harmony between the two chief saloons relieved the people from having an elephant on their hands, everybody was happy Generally, every thing that arrived in town of consequence, whether gambler, horse, desperado of pronounced qualities, or linnet for the Bird Cage opera house, had to select headquarters between the two boss saloons, and this formality invariably cost a couple of lives. So when the guardianship of the elephant was arrang- ed without bloodshed, Tombstone was inclined to be both happy and dissap- pointed. When last heard of the lions had their hides intact, the glossy skin of the tiger was stuffed and on exhibition at the Central Hotel. The elephant was com mon property, and in the pleasant even- ings of October and November, it was the custom of the cowboys to take him out on Allen and Fremont streets, man him seven or eight strong, and as he marched along solemn'y and ponderous- ly, it was the proper caper to shoot out lights from his back, and if an imperti- nent policeman intertered, to send him from beyond the bourne from whence no traveller returns, Only two circuses have visited Tombstone since the 4th of July 1879, and those have been particu- lar to live up to their advertisements.
