The Eagle says the Grafton base
bali club is going to drop the name
"Adleson." We suggest, Brother
Guard, they adopt the name ''Den-
Mss instead, as we propose to re-
organize the famous Deltas, who
never would allow the Adleson boys
to put salt on the tail of their coats
and take them up to Grafton. They
will give the Adlesons a regular
razzle-dazzle, when Grafton will cry
aloud for Grain - You've got to
quit blowing that tootcr, Brother
Guard. We've hear'n enough about
the "craok local nine of the State"
and we propose to increase the
"crack" to such dimensions that
the whole town will want to crawl
into it to escape the multitudinous
acclaims of the victorious Deltas.

Herbert Brown.

Herbert Brown, eldest son Of Mr..
John W. Brown, of Tunnelton. who
is well-known to the people of Pres
ton county, has been appointed to a
very lucratixe Office by President
Harrison. Mr.. Brown is located in
Tuscan, Arizona Territory, and is
managing editor of the Tucson
Daily Citizen. His many friends
throughout the county will be glad
to hear of his good luck. The Tue
son Star, in speaking of the APP
pointment, says:
"Home rule is again triumphant
and Tucson has got the plum and
what makes it still more refreshing
a newspaper man has been recog-
nized. Herbert Brown of the CT
Ken is the lucky individual. He is
a citizen of Arizona of fifteen years
residence he has been connected
with the newspaper business during
the last six years, and has earned
the reward he has received. Mr..
Brown ought to make a competent
register of the land Office and he no
doubt will. lie is a sober. hard
working citizen, and will no doubt
establish himself home and be-
come identified with Tucson as a
taxpayer, and in every way become
interested in building up Tucson
and her institutions.
He has worked hard for the Gov
ernor Wolfley wing of the Republi-
can party. 1t was mainly through
the efforts of Mr.. Brown that Mr..
Wolhey was made Governor, for it
is q fact that Herbert Brown and
the Citizen are synonymous terms,
and to Mr.. Brown belongs the en-
tire credit of the results SO far
achieved by his branch of the party.
Yes, home RULES again victorious
and Tucson, the cradle of home
rule for Arizona, has got the sugar,
and a newspaper man is the chap
who can lick his chops and sniff the
aroma of a soft place during the
next four years. Shake, Brother
Brown. This administration is u
noble one. 1t is all wool and yard
wide.

place at Stemple's Ridge on last

George Sell was teaching singing

when insulted by Miller, gave him
a threshing. At the time first
named, Sell was.attackod by Miller's

acted, in which Sell cut Miller in
abdomen with knife, disembowel-

ical condition. The cutting was in
