Nothing of late has created So much interest in Clifton as the wheelbarrow event of last week. The conditions were that one of our young men was to wheel a well known merchant and con- tractor of the county weighing 235 pounds from the North Clifton to the South Clifton bridge without setting the wheelbarrow down be- tween the points. Contrary to general expectations both parties appeared upon the ground at the appointed time, together with the judges, three gentlemen of dig nity and standing in the commit nlty. After a considerable amount of wrangling, during which many suggestions were made to the young man as to how to accom- plish the feat, the start was made amid the hurrahs and yells of the largest assemblage that has gath cred in Clifton in many a day. The motive power wore an ex- pression on its face that expressed a determination to do or die in the attempt, while the freight had a look of calm content playing over its features that denoted a thorough enjoyment of the affair. The procession had moved but a short distance when it was met by music, consisting of fife and big drum, which served materially to encourage the young athlete, and added to the pleasure of the oc- cupant of the barrow. As the residence of one of our prominent citizens was passed handsome wreath of evergreen and ribbons was thrown to the jolly passenger, which, being placed upon his head, gave him May Queen appear ance Tn harmony with the general holiday character of the turnout. From this on to the end the march proceeded uneventfully, but with intense enthusiasm, which found vent in hearty cheers and con gratulations as the plucky young man successfully deposited his heavy load at the steps of the South Clifton bridgf

News has been received of the death in Ohio of Hon. Charles P. Leitch, a former resident and large cattle man of this county. Some two years ago Mir. Leitch was prostrated by a sunstroke from which he never recovered and which is directly responsible for his death. He departed for his old home in Ohio some months ago in charge of relatives, who had hopes that a change and the best medical attendance might benefit him. The news of Mir. Leitch's death will be received with keen sorrow by many warm friends, not onlJ in this county, but throughout the territory gen erally, for he was well-beloved by many and respected by all. Mir. Leitch came to the terri tory some thirteen years ago from Ohio and engaged in contracting business with the government. Later he located and stocked the Eureka ranch in the Sulphur Spring val ley, which was then in Pima, but now in Graham county. He was elected by Pima county to the 11th legislature. He boiled the most popular vote of any can didate on the ticket and in that body nade a record of which his friends were proud During the last eIght years and up to within the las eighteen months the deceased de voted his entire time to the stock business, and in company with his brother was one of the largest stock raisers in Arizona.
