Last Friday, Thomas Anderson, with his family of wife, four chil- dren and aged mother, started to return home to Williamson valley, after a winters visit in Phenix. When near New river the four horses took fright and ran away, notwith- standing the 4000 pounds of sup plies aboard, besides the family. Anderson jumped out and caught one of his wheelers, but was thrown down, the wagon crushing his left ankle and right leg, between the knee and foot. His 12-year old boy seized another horse and met with a similar fate, having his left knee dislocated backwards. Although badly crippled, Anderson jumped on another horse and dashes after the fugitives for nearly three miles, when he overlook and stopped his horses, falling senseless as he did so. This was near the guard station of the Rio Verde reserve dam. The force there employed came to the rescue. They all went back and picked up the family, which had been scattered considerably. Mrs. Anderson had leaped out with both babies, providentiaIly escaping all harm. The grandma had remained safe in the wagon all the time.- Arizona Gazette.

The we'll which has been sunk at Wilcox by the experimental com pany composed of Wilcox citizens, has proved a grand success. The we'll is down 9 feet and two holes have been put down below the bot tom of the we'll to a depth of 15 feet. The water rises to within 15 feet of the top, and a flow from this we'll with proper pumping facilities of 1000 gallons per minute is as- sured. The capacity of the present pump is 300 gallons per minute. A large acreage will be planted to alfalfa this season, and the land is being taken up rapidly under the desert act. This strike of water IS the most important ever made in Cochise county and means the rapid settlement of the Sulphur Spring valley-Prospector.

 On Friday morning last, about , o'clock, Jose Borrondia cut French Mary's throat and then severed his own jugu;ar vein with a razor, in a back room of Salvador's saloon, at Clifton.
 Borrondia died instantly, but French Mary is still alive-therazor not having reached the jugular vein -she is cut, however, from ear to ear.
 Borrondia had been keeping the woman for two or three years, and the night before the tragedy they were both drunk, and expressing q desire to get married in the presence of one II. A. Dorsey, and quit their mode of living, he at once volCn- teered to act the part of minister and perform the marriage ceremony. They assented, thinking it perfectly proper and legal. and Dominic Dor sey proceeded with the ceremony, and thus, farcically, two hearts were made to beat as one" They spent the night together in back room of the aforementioned saloon and next morning about , o'clock French Mary walked into the bar room and went to drinking with an other man. Borrondla soon follow ed, going into the barroom also. He appeared to be excited, and he and the woman returned to the room. She says that when they reached the room, Borroudia said to her We are now married and you are my wife, and still you persist in run ming after other men. l propose now 10 Kill you and myself too,' , whereupon he pulled out razor from one of his pockets and the re suit was as stated above, Borrondia has been working for the Copper Company for thirteen years and WAS we'll liked.-Graham County Bulletin.

All hands had been drinking heavily and were about ready 10 seperate when Humphrey and Green began quarreIing. One of Humphreys teamsters sought to get Humphrey home. Green knocked Humphrey down and when he got up he grap- pied with Green.

A paper was filed in the supreme court yesterday withdrawing the ap- peal of Editors George ". and R. c.

They were found guilty by jury of libel upon the court and sentenced by Judge Sloan to five days in the territorial prison at Yuma. The withdrawal of this appeal leaves them now subject to this sentence. Whether pardon will be granted by Governor Murphy remains to be seen. A petition signed by ten of the twelve jurors and about 300 citi- zens of Pima county, asking for pardon, has been filed in the execu- tive office. Judge ". H. Barnes and $. M.

Cruz Benavides, the wife of Desi-

Cruz Benavides, the wife of Desi- diro Ortega, who resides near the IGalisteo street bridge was found dead in her bed at ' o'clock this morning. Her husband made the discovery, and then he sprang out of bed and went running up the street yelling like a made man.
 Squire Garcia empannelled a coroner's jury and examined a num- Der of witnesses, including the wo- mans husband. The latter told a very incoherent story. There were finger marks on the woman's throat, and bruises on her breast and abdo- men which indicates that she was strangled to death Ortega went home about Il o'clock last night and he was very drunk. Valentine Medrano, constable for the 4th pre- cinct, and Luciano Romero went home with him. They say they found Ortego drunk and assisted him home, and that when they ar rived the woman was lying on the bed also under the influence of liquor. The theory of the crime is that Ortega, after NTedrano and Romero left the house, quarreled with his wife and strangled her to death, and that he never realized what had happened until he awoke at 7 o'clock this morning. Ortega is in jail to wait the action of the grand jury.-New Mexican.

Arizona stock growers should take some measures looking toward the introduction of California bur clover and other valuable forage plants upon the range. The bunch grass growing from a seed that is rarely allowed to ripen by the hun gry cattle, is now about eradicated. Alfleria holds it's own owing to the fact that cattle do not relish 1t till it goes to seed. A few bushels of wild grass or clover seed would work wonders in number of local ities.-Gazette.
