Gov. Hughes appointed Henry Smith, Esq, as a member of the Live Stock Sanitary Commission. The Governor could not have made better selection or one more in accordance with the general wishes of the cattle interests of tfis county. It was quite surprise to Mr. Smith as it was voluntary act on the part of the Governor, he having neither sought nor expected the appoint ment. The cattlemen were holding a meeting in Holbrook when Mr. Smith received notice of his appointment and received the hearty congratulations of all present. Albert F. Potter will be retained as Inspector for the Holbrook district, which is also good selection, as Bert is a general favorite with the cattle ralsers of this county, as we'll as the entire community.

The work of gathering beef steers for delivery at Holbrook next month will begin in almost every section of this county, as well as the western portions of Valencia and Socorro counties, New Mexico, next Monday. Such a roundup ought to gather about all the beef cattle the contracting parties have left on the range. There are to be two deliveries in June, on or about the 4th and the other the last of June. MT. Boise, who is the purchaser, should see that the railroad company have the neces- sary freight cars, for shipping purposes. on hand promptly, as thereis not suffi- cient grass near Holbrook, on which to hold flock of goats, much less two or three thousand head of beef cattle.

It is rumored that the Southern Pacific road has secured a contract for carrying fast mails between New York and the Pacific Coast, the con- tract that is now held by the Santa Fe road and the Atlantic and Paci- fic roads. This contract will neces- sitate extending the trains, that now run only between San Francis co and Los Angeles through to New Orleans and will give us two trains daily each way. The new trains will be fast ones and will only stop for coal and water.-Graham Coun- ty Bulletin.

In making his appointments from this county, Gov. Hughes lias shown rare good judgment, and could not have pleased the people better, if he had re- sided in the county for the past twenty years. John T. Lesueur member of the Prison Commission, J. H. Breed as a Trustee of the Reform School and Hen " Smith as a member of the Sanitary Live Stock Commission, were all happy appointments. The three gentleman named above are old residents of the county and thoroughly representative in their character. Not word can be said against either, as to their fitness for tue positions for which they are select ed, their moral character, personal
 worth and integrity. Gov. Hughes is to be congratulated on his happy selections.

Says the Coconino Sun: For the first time in it's history, the Atlantic and Pa cifc railroad is hauling more passengers east than west. The increase of the east bound travel is caused by the opening ot the Worlds Fair. Four Pullman's and two coaches crowded to their full capacity, is how the Los Angeles train is loaded every day during the week. The San Francisco train is just as well patronized This is just the beginning of east bound travel, and during the summer a big rush is expected, and the Santa Fe is prepared to take care of all of it that comes this way.

Santiago Serna, a Mexican baker was killed last Thursday morning by a pistol in his own hands, which was discharged either accidentally or with suicidal intent. He had been on protracted spree and two days before was arrested and put in jail by Deputy Sheriff P. Burke. Thursday morning the officer was informed that Serna had pistol and was making threats. On going to look for him Burke saw Serna behind a barrel near the ice house. He raised his pistol as if taking aim and when it went off imme- diately fell backward The b ullet entered his mouth causing almost instant death. The pistol was found to be very light on the trigger and W hile handling it afterwards it went of but did not damage. Itis of course q matter of conjecture whether Serna intended to shoot himself or Burke. 1 coroner's jury returned a verdict of suicide.- Yuma Times.

". H. Burbage, special agent for the New York Life Insurance Company, has been in town for the past week ar ranging and forwarding to his Company claims of death in the case of Thomas Perez, deceased. Mir Perez took out this insurance with Mir. Burbage scarce ly one year since, and on it he had paid but one premium, $2I2. His widow, so Mir. Burbage assured us, will receive the full face of the poIicy-$5, 900. Thus, by this timely foresight and prudence on the part of the deceased, Mrs. Perez and her numerous family of dependent little ones are placed in such position that thelr property will not have to be sacrificed for the want of ready cash.

Between this and the other side of the
 broad Atlantic, in the shape of tourists, commercial travellers and mariners, agents Ion the road" steamboat cap tains, ships surgeons and "all sorts and conditions" of travellers, emigrants and new settlers appreciate and testify to the preventive and remedial properties of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in sea sickness, nausea, malarial and rheu- matic trouble, and all disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels. Against the prejudicial influences of climate, crude ly cooked or unaccustomed diet and inn pure water, it is sovereign safeguard, and has been so regarded by the travel ing public for over third of century. No form of malarial fever, from the ca lentura of the Pacific and the broken bone fever of the Mississippi, to it's mild CT types, can resist the curative action of this benignant preserver and restorer of health, veritable boon to persons in feeble health or liable to incur disease.

Those who have been in the White Mountains and know what they are talk ing about, say there are anywhere from 9 ,O00 to 50, GOO New Mexico sheep there now, and more on the road. This is nothing more nor less than an outrage. Residents of the county who are en- gagged in the stock business-sheep as we'll as cattle-have sustained heavy losses the past winter, on account of the scarcity of feed. On top of that, to have these nomadic focks, driven from an adjoining territory, on to the first and only feed in the county, is putting too great strain on the forbearance of res ident stock raisers. These transient fel ows own no ranches, pay no taxes, and as a matter of justice, have no right to trespass on those who, according to custom, own the ranges. It is not the cattlemen alone who are complaining at this intrusion, our wool growers are dO- ing as much or more kicking as the beef raisers. Our Assessor should treat these fellows as Apache county sheep men are treated in Gila and Graham counties. Take posse of men, go to the noun tains, and whenever or wherever he finds transient flock of sheep, assess, attach and leave man in charge until all costs are paid. In this way, and in no other way, can the county get any compensation for the damage they in- fiict on our tax payers-the men who support the county.

Remarks were also made by J. H. Bowman and F. H. Laberteaux, Su- perintendent of the Aztec Cattle Com pany.

 The Liberal says that Hon. Jack Bruce, the Lordsburg member of the Arizona Legislature had return ed to the more congenial duties of running an engine on the passenger train. MT. Bruce says that shortly after the Legislature met it trans pired that every member of that august body, both in the House and Council, proved to be candi- date for an appointment, either by President Cleveland or the yet to be appointed governor, excepting himself. He knew of no office that was any better than passenger run that would take him to Lordsburg several times a week. When Presi- dent Cleveland appointed Governor Hughes it showed that the slate of the Arizona Legislature was busted and there was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. As he was not disappointed he felt no call to tear his hair and is today as happy as usual.

John Gray returned today from Rucker and the valley beyond. He reports that few mornings ago Colonel Wombles' son ran onto several Indians who were camped in the mountains near Cowboy Pass, about 25 miles from the place where Bowman was killed. The young man started out to hunt wa ter for his cattle which had been rounded up, and ran onto the camp without a moments warning that Indians were near. He made no attempt to barley with them, but turned his horses head in the op- posite direction and nearly killed his horse getting to a ranch seven miles distant.
 The young man not returning to camp on time was searched for by the roundup party, who came upon the deserted camp of the Indians, which substantiated the story of the boy, who turned up shortly af- terward badly frightened-Pros- pectOr.

mind of Commander J. A. Town. The
customary grand army services il
honor of the dead were conducted ty

plaintive dirges the graves were
sire wed with flowers. The d,y was as
pleasant as could be desired, aud the
attendance was large.
At 2 p. m. an immense audience
crowd d the Masonic Hall. The only
drawback was the heat of the day. A
quartette consisting Of Mrs. Durfee,
