upon to link his fortunes with those of

Holbrook is working itself up to fever
heat, over the removal OF the county
seat. Resolutions are fulminated-pe-
titieps circulated-committees origi-
nated-~xiRdy harangues vociferated-
and the whole matter sophisticated, to
such degree, that nearly everybody is
completely bumfusGcated.
Oh, for an inspired idiot-gifted with
a flaming tongue of fire-to advise our
people thus: Arise in your righteous
wrath, and break the jaw-bone OF that
braying ass.
If one man and half, can success
fully hold-up one half of a man, how
many men would it require to hold up
two half men and half? A bottle of

The Apache House is getting to be
quite general resort for people about
town. But there is one feature about
hotel life which dislike, and against
which do some tall kicking. In the
early hours of the morning, when peo-
pie most desire to sleep, some one with
out the fear of the devil in his or her
heart, is dead sure to get off the follow
ing, or some other equally al surd dltty:
awake, o Reinian, awake;
Awake, o Reinian, no;
Get up fora POT and a cake,

The common people are beginning to
think that oAr Territory has had enough
of desperadoes as peace" officers, who
parade about with abbreviated cannon
strapped to their hips. What the coun-
try most needs, is not so much a class of
officers who shoot people, simply be-
cause they have 'the drop" but men
possessing some brains, coupled with a
little executive ability. The trouble
with the desperado-class of officers is
that they shoot whom they please, and
are acquitted on the plea that their vic
tim chad it in for 'em," and the shoot
ing was in self-defense. Experience
proves that nine out Of every possible
ten, of this class of murdererS, are ar
rant ours with not spark of true bavery
in their composition. The time has sure
ly come, when this class of respectable
~ citizens can, with perfect propriety,
be relegated to their proper sphere-be-
hind good strong bars-playing checkers
with their nasal organs.
Henry Huning, Esq, of the firm Of
Huning & Cooley, stock and ranchmen
OF Show Low, came down to the future
county seat last Thursday, and left for
Albuquerque Friday.
Henry Kinsley, Esq, Secretary and
Assistant Treasurer of the Aztec Land
and Cattle Company, has been playing
'Jay" for the past two or three weeks.
In his Uncle's private car, he has visit
ed San Diego, Los Angeles, Albuquer-
que, El Paso, and as far south as the
City of Mexico, including all interme-
date points of interest. Mr.. K. returns
to Holbrook and settles himself down
again to biz, just as though the whole
trip was so much experience OF bore
dom; notwithstanding this millIonarian
conduct, he, with his inimitable ''sang
frog" (excuse my French), "shakes"
with US common folks, who never ex-

most visionary imaginiDgs, beyond the
limits of this precinct, otherwise than
