She same spot where. last September. a
gang undertook 60 hold mp a train, but
found that the railroad officials had infor-
nation of the fact aud had made up a
dummy train, loaded with officers. and in
the fRht which resulted two Of the robbers
were killed.
Last nights robbery was conducted in an
unusual way. A torpedo was exploded

THE RAILROAD.
The Grading Force Increased-Track
 Laying Coumeuced at Rowie.

The Grading Force Increased-Track
 Laying Commenced at Bowie.
 It is almost certain now that within less than ninety days Solomonville will be connected with the balance of the world by rail, and &ithin few months more the road will be built through the valley.
 Track-laying on the Gils valley, Globe and Northern Railway began at Bowie last Monday. The first work is to lay the tracks in the yard at Bowie; when this IS done the work will continue on the main line to SOlOm0nvIlle, where the first depot will be opened for busine s on the line. It IS expected that the track layers will overtake the graders here early in July. It IS stated that af- ter the work in the Bowie yards is done track-lsying machine wlll do work On the road. This machine is expected in a few days, and it will lay one mIle of track day. At this rate thirty-tive days would complete the track to Solo mcnvIle.
 It is expected that when the road is ready for business here, all the coke and copper for and from Globe will be han ded here; this business may continue here uutll the road is completed to Thomas.
 The grading camp is now at BaIley's Wells and the work is about two miles this side, within fifteen miles of Solo, mOnville. The number of men now at work on the grade is between ninety and 100.-Bulleiin.

PRICE OF THE CITIZEN.
BACON Vs. SHAKESPEARE.

THE CITIZEN is in receipt of vols.
 and II of Sir Francis Bscon's cipher
 story, written by Dr. Orville w. Owen,
 and issued by the Howard Publishing
 company, Detroit, Mich. This cipher
 story. however wide it may be of its aim,
 is curiousIy ingenious and interestingly
 written. Its very title declares its icon
 ocIastic mission, to rob the Bard of
 Avon of the glory of having written the
 wonderful plays that bear his name and to crown the author of Novum Organum
 with their imperishsble fame. But did
 Bacon write the works that from the
 Elizabethian Renaissance has borne the
 name Of William Shakespeare, dearly
 and well beloved? We think not, and the wish IS the father to the thought. That Dr. Owen has labored long and earnestly in this direction is evidenced
 in his works. Ignatius Donnelly issued
 his great cryptogram which was 10 dis
 enchant the world with the name of Shakespeare and his borrowed plCmes of glory were to be returned to the VI count of ST. Al ans. But the world went on believing that the tragedies, the histories and comedies that bear Shakespeare's name were written by that myriad minded man. Even Dr. Owen repudiates the sc-cal'ed discover ies of Donnelly, but claims himself to have found key that can tale unfold. But whether be does or does not hIs la bors will not be lost on the reading public. In vol. the story of Elizabeth's 1 marriage to the Earl of Dudley, the death of Amy R Dbsart and the illegiti- 1 macy of Bacon's birth are forcibly told. | In vol. II the story of the Spanish ar mads, its conception and intent, its des- truction through English valor and par tisl loss On Goodwin Sands. is charming iy and intellizently written aud will | find favor with the student of literature | whether the Baconian riddle bs read or

The New Church at Stafford.

Rev. J. A. Crouch was in the valley several days last week and this, preach ing at Stafford on Sunday morning and at Solomonvile in the evening He was also looking after the welfare of the new Methodist church now being erect ed at Stafford. The committee having charge of this church building are mak- ing splendid progress. The committee consists of Peter Anderson, E. b. Tut tie, Dr. Cassels and James Pursely. The walls of the building are now complete. It would approach completion in very short time if iJ were not for frequent de- lays in getting lumber for the wood- work. If this church is completed when the annual conference of the Me- thodist church meets in October, Rev. Crouch has the assurance that a resi- dent minister will be sent to Stafford and will devote his entire time to this valley. Every encouragement possible should be extended to help complete this new church. Churches and schools are what attract desirable settlers and no country can have too many of them. Rev. Crouch deserves great praise for the energy and perseverance be has dis played in hIs field of laoor during the past year,-Bulletin.

THE TURKEYS OF TIFFIN.

Fr!end Klmmel. writing the Econo. mist from the Heidelberg university, at
 Tffin, Ohio, says that there seems to be an analogy existing between our pres ent free-trade democracy and two old time turkey trappers that used to reside in t1at vicinity, One of the trap pers built pen and succeeded ip catch ing three fine wild turkeys. But, while putting them into the pen, one got away from him, so he foolishly threw down the two he had in his hands to run after the one that got away. The other trapper seeing the race, exclaimed: Run. Boltie, runr' But Boltie failed to run fast enough, and So, unfortuna- tely, lost all his turkeys.
 In like manner our free-trade friends want to throw down our large, certain and profitable home market, to risk &C., quirlng n small share in the sometimes and always uncertain, so- called Markets of the World" The only difference seems to be that, of the for the trapper risked losing only 6625 per cent. in order to catch 3315 per cent. while the free trade risks losing 9S per cent in order to acquire the meager and uncertain per cent.

YES, the Montezumas and the Cookie burrs have had their differences or minor details. But tbey have arrived at a unanimous conclusion upon one subject-a determination to do up the enemy at the coming campaign.-Star.

BCt after so ample an apology these little d fferences should not stand in the way of doing up the enemy.

WHO will be clerk of the court under Judge Bethune? Will he be Cookie bur, or a MenteZuma, or combination? We would suggest the combination. and We would also hint that an olive leaf would not be out of place. Star.
 4 Cockleburr, a Montezuma or mule. Pay your money aud take your choice of deck, streetage or cabin passage. The Montezumas are veering towards the mule, but the Cockleburrs want neither combination nor olive leaf. They "take thelrn straight with nary a mix" and Judge Bethne will never play the farce of "caulker" for his party hulk. Oi course, he will be told hundred times of his appointment and confirmation. Everybody did it, in fact he could have had place on the supreme bench of the United States for the mere mention oi it. and nothing but his known dislnclina ton for so exalted a station, prevent ed them rushing his name forward, but the Judge can see as far through mill stone as the man who picks at it, and i: not liable to be made sea sick with over much praise. Judging by large frac tion of evidence the judge is a Cookie burr and his clerk will supplement hiG color.

ROMANTIC LIFE IN CAMP.
Led by Laura Jacobs and Rodolfo
 Vasquez.
The Runaway Lovers Found at Los Riales- Vasquez in Jail The Young Woman with Her
 Parents,

The Vasquez-Jacobs affair has proven to be very pretty ramance. They have been found, in camp, where charming life in the valley above town few miles was rudely broken by an officer of the law
 Sunday night they took their depar- ture from Tucscn, destined for Nogales, Sonora, when they could get there. where they expected to live from the restra nts oi irate parents and bother some officers.
 But they never got there. They stopped at Los R ales, Mexican settle ment up the valley, where Vasquez had friends and where they could get enough to eat. They made camp, officers tell, where they lived gypsy fashion Monday, Tuesday and yesterday. This morning came the awakening, While they Were away from camp at one of the ranches getting something whereon to subsist, their camp, so It is claimed, was raided, and everything taken. Papagoes it is thought thus marred thelr pretty experience. This was very uncomfortable. Vasquez sent to town for things" lis satchel and contents, and some clothes for the young woman and something to eat. The note was brought by boy. The cloth ing was sent as requested
 While at the camp Vasques made every attempt of the ranchers there abouts to get buggy with which they might go to Nogales. In this, however, he was unsuccessful.
 The arrest of Vasquez was secured through the Tucson agent of Vasquez. It vas on warrant sworn out by Mir. Crum, his landlord. Mir. Crum claims that Sunday night Vasquez took from the room he had rented everything he needed-bed quilts and portable fur nishings of the room. For this he IS under arrest and was examined by Judge Scott late this afternoon. It is supposed by officers that the goods taken largely furnished the camp made, and that they were stolen. Certainly when arrested this morning by Deputy Sheriff Estrelia the lovers had nothing of the kind. The only goods found were the coDtents of the satchel sent by Vasquez's Tucson friend.
 The romance of camp life apparently carried with It its anxieties. Neither Vasquez or the young woman present as bright an appearance AS usual.
 It is now evident that the report that Miss Jacobs was seen on the streets Of Tucson Tuesday ls without founda- tlon. She IS again with her parents.

ATTEMPTED JAIL DELIVERY.
A Big Hole in the Walls Almost
 Opened.

Last night prisoner named Harry Murphy, in jail for rCbbing box car near Red Rock, almost opened the jail for the liberty of all the prisoners not in their cells last night.
 lie had complained of illness and went to the closet so frequently and staid so long that the guards became suspicious. They therefore locked his cell, which had been left open, and went to the cllset. There they found a big hole one by three and half feet, all but through the wall, only a single layer of brick being left.
 Four prisoners, among them Mike Sullivan, could have escaped, had not the discovery been made.
 Contractor Sullivan repaired the break today.
