The cheapest and strongest method of
constructing the bins is of inch boards
laid fiatwise, one above the other, lap
ping at the corners. The width Of the
boards makes the thickness of the bin,
which is from three to six inches, ac-
cording to size and capacity. The bins
are supported by strong posts resting on
mudsi4ls. The wagons are driven up
one of the inclines to the platform and
nnloaded by carrying the grain into the
warehouse and pouring it into the bins,
or run in through spout projecting
through the side Of the house. When it
is desired to remove the grain, the slide
at the bottom of the bin is raised, OPEN
ing the outlet, and the grain drawn out.
In very large warehouses the bins are SO
high that wagon may be driven under
them and the grain drawn directly into
it. One or more Slated ventilators upon
the peak of the roof are useful, but not
INDISPENSABLE.

We find clipping in the Tucson Citizen, from the Tombstone Epitaph, giving quite different version of the killing of Mexican, in Cochise coun- ty, in 1882, by David Nagle who re- gently killed Judge Dayld s. Terry at Lathrop, California. The Mexican, according to tue Epitaph, had been fined for violation of a city ordin- ance, and in charge of an officer was permitted to go and procure money wherewith to pay the fine. They went to house where a number of Mexicans were carousing and the prls- oner refused to return, whereupon the deputy called Chief of Police Nagle to his assistance, When approaching the house where the Mexican was, he fired upon them with Winchester hitting the deputy, in the groin, and then endeavored to escape by running. Nagle emptied his revolver, apparent ly without effect. About that time man on horseback, having Winches- ter, appeared upon the scene and Ma gle securing both the horse and gun, pursued, and coming in sight of the fugitive, fired and killed him.

A TEMPEST IN 4 TEAPOT.

So common an accident as the breaking of a wagon wheel is causing no end of trouble in the Pueblo Viejo valley, Graham county. MT. Hil- dreth's team while toiling along the publc highway near Stafford, with a heavy load, stuck Tn the mud and in attempting to extricate the wagon one of the wheels was broken. Mr. Hil- dreth was wroth, especially as the mishap was owing entirely to the care lessness of some of the farmers whose irrigatlng ditches skirt the road and which had been allowed to get out of repair until the water escaped into the road, making it miry. Mir. Hil- dreth entered complaint against the road overseer of the district. Miles Reay, who plead sickness as an excuse for the neglect of his official duties, in view of which the justice of the peace let him off with fine ofSl. The over seer was now "hot Tn the collar" and had the slothful farmers brought be- fore the bar of justice to answer for their negligence, and they were cinched as follows: Jacob Peterson, S38; A. NJ. Allen, S25; Jas. Hildreth, $20. This did not end the matter as complaints were entered against Jas Morris. Chas. Jones and Joseph Aired whose trials had not taken place. Witnesses innumerable were sum- moned, and the entire population of Stafford are tat sixes and at sevens." The Valley Bulletin says that the only persons who view tho matter com placently are the Squire, District At torney and Constable, and the latter was heard to remark that he hoped the business would continue as it is 'nuts" for him.

Every silver district in New Mexico, Arizona and Western Texas should be represented in the coming silver con- vsntion at St. Louis. The influence of concert of action is powerful in strument in moulding public opinion As an evidence we cite the recent con- ventlon of carbonate men at Denver. It is true there were but few miners in the convention, but that made no difference, the public thought it a bonatide miners reunion and It pro- duced the intended effect. New Mex ioo and Arizona are silver sections. Let them combine to support the in dustry that gives them vitality -El Paso Bullion.
