An AstOnished Setfer.

do not vouch for the truth of the tale, but
man, whose reputation for veracity is at
least reasonably good, declares that he saw
on the street in Boston, the other day, an
electric wire accident which was certainly
singular. His attention was attracted by the
barking of red Irish setter to an English
sparrow, which was perched upon an electric
light wire high above the beasts head. The
animal had evidently been amusing himself
in the fruitless sport of chasing the bird, and
when 1t had taken refuge on high had endeav.
ored to get some consolation out of yelping
Justify. The day was windy, and the wire
swayed to and fro, the sparrow apparently
enjoying its swing, until in fatal moment
the tail of the bird came in contact with an.
other wire near by. Then, in the twinkling
OF an eye, the unlucky sparrow came tum,
Dung down stone dead at the feet of the noisy
dog, who was so astonished at this sudden
turn OF affairs that he did not offer to pick
the creature up but simply stopped barking
and stood staring at his prey in astonish.

We clip the following complimentary notice of an ex-resident and an ex-dep- uty sheriff of this county from the AL buquerque Citizen: "Twenty-four years ago, July 26, 1866, Thomas Hubbell, one of the popular and competent deputy sheriffs under Sheriff Perea, was born on the pretty Hubbell ranch at Pajarito, this county. Tom was out at Gallup yesterday and the day before assisting in patching up the difficulty between the coal operators and miners, which duty he performed successfully, and returned to the city this morning to celebrate in an appropriate manner the 24th anni- versary oi hls life He is a general fav- orite among long list of friends; has made a courageous, efficient officer; has we'll balanced head on his shoulders. and the Citizen, whom he can always recognize as friend, wishes him many pleasant anniversaries to come."

Registrati3n Notice.

Whereas, By act No : of the Legisla- tive Assembly of the Territory of Ari- zona, approved March 13, 1889, Entitled An Act 10 amend paragraph 16U2; the same beng section of chapter 3, title 2l, entitled Elections of the Revised Statutes of Arizona 1887, it is provided that the Board of Supervisors of each county of the Territory Of Arizona, shall at the regular April meeting of said Bo1rd preceding any general election, by order, require d reorganization ol the voters of said county, which order shall be published in at least one newspaper published in said county, or if none be published one having general circula- ton therein, for not less than 1 months preceding the next general election.
 And whereas; There Is required to be held throughout the Territory on the Tuesday alter the first Monday in Nov ember next, an election for members of the Legislative Assembly and such oth CT ofiiceass:3s may be required by law, to be chosen at such election to be called the general election.
 Now, therefore, under and by virtue of said act and the authority upon us con ferred therein; We hereby order that a re-registration Of the voters of Apache county be, and the same is hereby re- quired for the year A. D. 1890, and that this order be published in the St. Johns Herald, a newspaper published in this county, and having q general circulation therein, not less than four months pre- ceding the next ensuing election

 That there was terrible loss of cattle in Nevada last winter is now attested by the fact that the stockmen of that State are in the market to purchase stock cat tie to place on their ranges. To meet this demand, we are informed by Agent Nichols that the Southern Pacific Con- pany has made special rates on cattle from points in this Territory to Nevada. The rate from Wilcox per car, in train loads of not less than eighteen cars, on cattle valued at not more than $10 per head, is $132.30. MT, Nichols solicits correspondence with parties desiring to sell stock cattle. Those writing should state number and price per head.-Win cox Stockman.
 It is rumored that strong effort will be made in the next Legislature towards removing the Capital from Phoenix to Tucson. Should such prove the ease the Phenicians wIll be treated to a dose Of the same medicine that they forced Prescott to swallow. However, It is not our picnic and the rival pueblos may fight tt out to thelr hearts content, pro- vided they do not propose to move it to Yuma as compromise. We have enough questionable characters incarce- rated in the Territorial prison now, and patience would cease to be virtue were lot of irresponsible legislators turned loose upon our peaceful village every two years In less than month Governor Wolfey has pardoned quite batch of prisoners. 1t the present rate it will not take long to effect complete depop- ulation ot that tinstitution.- una Times.
 It is curious fact that the ants com mon to this country will commit suicide  when death seems inevitable. A few days ago the experiment was tried of placing several ants inside an iron hoop, three feet i'll diameter, that had been heated and laid on the ground After running wildly across the space several times, they made deliberate circuit, as close to the hoop as tke heat would per init, and finding no way of escape curled l up and were dead in a few seconds, hay ing evidently bitten themselves. The ! was repeated several times, ! each time with the same result. In this peculiarity they resemble the scorpion which will always kill itself when close ly pursued or tortured The cattlemen in Southern Arizona have come to the conclusion to ship large numbers of their stock this fall so as to relieve the ranges and be able to fatten the surplus for the market. If they will now take concert ed action in regard to putting up wind mills and sinking wells over the ranges there will be very little complaint next summer about dying stock. Adam Berg, of the Kansas Cattle Company, was in the city during the week. The rams in Sulphur Spring valley have freshened things up wonderfully and the present outlook for stock IS good.- Tombstone Epitaph.

The Albuquerque Citizen says c. D. Gardanier, an extensive sheep buyer from Fremont, Nebraska, has just con- cluded the shipment of 5000 head of sheep from Winslow, and arrived in the city last night. A train ol thirteen cars of sheep, belonging to Mir. Gardanier, came in this morning over the Atlantic and Pacific, but owing to the enormous freight rates on the Santa Fe the sheep will be driven through the country.

We would advise every one in the county, who is legally entitled to a vote, 10 see that his name is on the great reg ister. The election this fall will be one of more than usual interest, and it is the duty of all to express their views, through the ballot-box, on all questions affecting the material interests of the county. When the people have express ed their wishes by a full vote, at fair election, all good citizens will accept their verdict without kick.

Lashe, the Apache Indian who was sent to the penitentiary at our last term of court for killing cattle, has been par doned by Governor Wolhey, When it is taken into consideration that the White Mountain Apaches are reported to be engaged in this business almost daily, and that they not only kill cattle belonging to the whites for the meat, but in pure wantonness, it would seem that the clemency of our Governor has been misplaced. The next time an h. dian is convicted for this offence and
