One Of the horses which was driven
by @ B. Schultz when he was murdered
by Analla on Cactus Flat has returned
home. The horse is in good condition
and evidently none the worse for the
trip.
The call for the irrigation convention

Mr.. William P. McComas and Miss

lard streets, occupied by M. w. Nef, H.
Rosenberg, Bell and Harvey, DR.. Hughes,
DR.. Williams and T. F. Conway, last
week. The consideration is said to have
been $4,000. This is one of the most
centrally located blocks in Silver City
and there has never been any difficulty
In renting the buildings.
More rain fell here last month than
has fallen in any previous July for ten
years. The ground is now pretty thor
oughly saturated in this part Of the
County. In some parts Of the County
there has been less rain than has fallen
here but there has been enough to start
the grass OF al tne ianFaa and castle
are dong well.
A m suffering with & mild form
of insanity was brought. over from
Georgetown last week and placed in Jail
here. She is under the care Of DIR.

a n asylum at Les Vegas will receive
only persons who are violently insane,
this unfortunate woman cannot be TAX
en- there.
Deputy U. S. Marshal Cantly arrested
ten persons at Deming last week for
violation Of the Edmunds law. They
were all Mexicans and were brought here

We are IN receipt of a copy of the Sis
son Mascot, a California paper edited by
j. L. Kennon, who will be remembered
by most of the residents of this place.
Since leaving here, about five years ago,
he has been in all parts Of the world.
He had an experience in Africa two OF
three years ago which he is not likely to
forget, the report Of which was publish
cd at the tune IN all the leading papers
Of this country. Kennon was with a
party which was attacked by savages
and several we're beaten to death. Ken.
non lowered between life and death for
days and the case was brought TO the
attention Of the American consul who
communicated the facts in the case to
the department Of state. Kennon went
from Africa to England but he has been
back in this country for some time.
L~Ordsburg Is now busily engaged in
the construction Of a railroad on paper.
Most Of the other towns in the Territory
have had their day at this kind Of rail
road construction, but Lordsburg comes
to the front suddenly with a plan which
Is not only feasible but It Is not at all
improbable that il may assume definite
shape at no distant day. It Is claimed
by the Western Liberal that O. P. Hunt
ington, president OF the Southern Pa
cihc Company, is now negotiating for the
purchase Of the Arizona and New Mex
leo railroad and that il the negotiations
are successful the Southern Pacific
Company will change the gauge from
the present width to 4 feet 81 inches at
least as far as the ella river and the
road viii be extended down the river
through ~Solomonville and on to Globe,
Florence and Phoenix. Such a road
would pass through the most fertile part
OF the territory Of Arizona and would
doubtless become the main line through
to California IN the course Of time. This
road with one down through the Aninas
or Playas valley into Mexico would make
Lordsburg one Of the most important
railroad points in the southwest and it
is by no near outside the pale Of pos
aibilities.
