A SINGULAR CASE.
George Comstock, of Santa Fe, Re-
ported in a Bad Way at
Prescott, A. Il.

The Prescott, A. T., Journal-Miner
prints this singular story:
"a man called yesterday at the Metho-
dist parsonage, and told Rev. C. j. Chase
a remarkable story about his wanderipgs.
He gave the name of George Comstock
and said that about June 25 or 26 he left
his home at Santa Fe, N. NJ, for the pur-
pose of going to mine about forty miles
distant. Prior to leaving he had been
sick for some time, and his wife tried to
persuade him not to attempt the trip.
His business being urgent however, he
started against her persuasion. When
about two or three miles out of town he
got worse and got out of the conveyance
he was IN and started to walk back. From
that time until July 4 his life was com
plete blank. On the above date he found
himself IN Prescott, but how he came here
or when, he could not tell. His lucid mo-
ments on the above date were but brief
and he again relapsed into condition of
oblivion, recovering from it Yesterday.
Being IN a strange place and knowing no
one, he decided to call on the Methodist
minister of the town, as his wife is the
daughter of minister of that church. So
after making some inquiries and learning
OF the location of the parsonage, he Wis
tied Mr.. Chase.
'When he left home he said he had be-
tween 5000 and $500 and gold watch, all
of which is missing. He thinks that he
was not robbed as he says he has faint
recollection of sending his money some
place, or of hiding it, but where he was he
las not lhe least 1dea. He telegrapheu to
his family to-day of his whereabouts
The above is substantially correct, as
developed by local inquiry to-day. Mr..
Comstock left here three weeks ago last
Monday for Cochiti, and his family, ex-
celent people who reside in the Simmons
house, have been for two weeks past
greatly worried at not being able to hear
from him. Day before yesterday tele-
gram came from Mr.. Comstock at Pres
colt announcing the circumstances under
which he had arrived there. He is now
en- route home.

the strike, had been overcome to learn OF
the development of fresh trouble In the
southwest. 1t appears that disorderly
element, which was disrupted at Trinidad,
has extended its operations southwark
into Arizona and New Mexico.
Gen. McCook, at Denver, reported to
army headquarters that the situation at
Williams, Winslow and Peach Springs
was SO critical that he had ordered three
infantry companies from Whipple Bar
racks, A. T., to take station at these three
points and move from point to point on
the A. q 2. railway, as it may be deemed
necessary. This is the only movement of
troops reported to-day.
REFUSED TO OBEY DEBs.
Louisyille.--A special to the Post from
Lexington, KY, says that JAS. Murphy,
chief of the A. R. U. order in Kentucky,
has received telegram from Debs or
dering all members of the order to strike.
The men refused to go out.
SAYS DEBs MADE MISTAKE.
Terre Haute.-Grand Master Sargent,
of the Firemens' Brotherhood, said to-day
that the old brothsrhoods will come cut
of the Pullman strike stronger than ever
before it was ordered, for it will demon
strate their conservative character. The
laws of his order, he said, are made SO as
to prevent strike as far as possible and
thai such spirit should actuate all labor
organizations. Chief Sargent says he is
a personal friend of Debs and admits his
honesty of purpose and ability, but he
made mistake in ordering sympathetic
strike by the A. r. U.

MERRY JUNKETERS.
Delayed Passengers on the Santa Fe
at La Junta Drop Into Poetry.

While the passengers on the Santa Fe
were tied up at La Junta last week a
crowd of twenty.six formed literary
union and made parodles on well known
verses with words applicable to the situa-
tion which kept them prisoners at that
junction of the Santa Fe line. A collec-
tion was made of the verses and printed
on sheet, some of which are quite pleas
ing and funny.
A Mrs. Burgee contributed parody on
"Beulah Land" with chorus as follows:
o, dreamy land, 0, breezy land,
As on the highest mount | stand
And look away across the town,
Which looks as if it had dropped down
From out the sky some windy day
When u cyclone passed this way.
One verse reads as follows:
I've often heard the doctors say
We should not eat three meals "a day.
And so while here we stay with you
Well try to get along with two.
verse by Mac Falls reads as follows:
Fireman. fireman. give me your answer do,
We're half crazy depending and waiting on
Put coal upon the fire rack
That will carry us sailing over the track;
1t will be our treat, If our sleepers we keep,
And bring us safely through.
One of the number wrote a parody on
the "Old Oaken Bucket" as follows:
How dear to my heart are the days at La
Junta,
When fond recollections present them to
The strikers, the marshals, the trains and the
depot,

The hot. sultry days when we all became
pale,
The singing the banjo, guitar and the fiddle.
And cen the ole sleeper that stood on the
rail.
The dusty old sleepers,
The sultry old sleepers,
The crowded old sleepers
=, That stood on a rail.
Those dusty old sleepers, we thought them
nuisance,
When from walk we returned to them
tired,
We found them source of great deal of
trouble
Because there were men to be found who
fired.
How often we longed for the time when we'd
leave them,
Expressed desire for the sight of Il sail
Upon the old ocean, and wished We had never
Inhabited the old sleepers that stood on
rail
