SoiomonviIIe Sirtings,

rity having cleared the docket. This burg for the time being put on holiday airs, and as anticipated times were lively; every one in business receiving more or less of a benefit. The only thing to be regretted Is the shortness of the terms and the length of time be- tween them, as the convening of court is about the only really i'm portant affair which occurs to break the monotony of our quiet country life.
 The sale of the property of the Collins estate was set aside, on appeal, by the district court and the property will be resold.
 Hon. G. H Stevens returned Thursday, having been delayed by illness. He does not appear to be much worried over the endorse ment the coming Territorial Con- vention will give Governor Zulick's administration, as he regards 1t as a foregone conclusion. And it is ten to one that Little Steve" will be the representative of southern Arizona ln the next National Dem ocratic Convention, as a pro nounced result of that endorse ment. He will go before the con vention with united delegation from his own county and backed by a Democratic vote, second to none in the Territory when popu- lation is considered. His first act on returning was to issue, as chair man, call for a meeting of the County Central Committee, for the purpose of selecting six delegates to the Territorial Convention. In county sparsely settled as ours, and where means of transporta- ton are uncertain and expensive, the selection, by the County Cen tral Committee, of the delegates will prove more satisfactory than by holding primaries and county convention at which, it would be safe to say, it would be impossible to obtain quorum. Steve, while absent must have been kindly dealt with and watched" by his friends. He now wears a massive gold watch chain to which is at tached heavy gold watch, hunt ing case, P. $. Bartlett movement, actual value not less than S450; but in Steve's estimation worth about S450,000. When asked where he caught on he replied he could hardly tell, but the inscription on the watch might throw some light on the matter. This reads, "A Present from your Friends; rath- CT indefinite but no doubt perfect ly satisfactory to Little Steve"

Adolph combines business with pleasure, and on his trip through this section will look after the in- terests of the wholesale establish ment of l.. B.

 Five hundred and fifty pounds of the resources of Graham coun- ty have been received and will be judiciously distributed by Mir. J. H. Vaughn.
 Col. J. A. Zabriskie, of Tucson, a shining light in the Republican ranks, having had occasion to drop in during court, took advantage of the situation and held d meeting of the faithful in this section for the purpose of electing delegates to the Republican Territorial Con- vention. After considerable drum ming he succeeded in getting five representatives of the g. O. p. together and they proceeded to elect themselves. Every thing quiet, no quarreling of course, as there were positions more than enough to go around.
 Mir. J. D. Groesbeck, son of Dr. J. B. Groesbeck of Stafford, is vis- ihng his friends, having resigned his position with the Corrallitos company in Mexico. He will re- main but a few weeks having already secured position in Fl Paso.
