Graham guardian., 1895-03-23
HON. p. J. BoLAN is DEAD.

Peter James Bolan looked for
the last time on earth at his home
in Los Angeles county, California,
the 18th instant. He died sudden
ly from a stroke ofappoplexy, and
without a note of warning, passed
from time to eternity. For many
years there was no man more gen.
orally known in Graham county or
southern Arizona, than the subject
of this sketch. The writer first
met him in Phenix, in the spring OF
1878, and from that time until he
left this county, knew him intima.
tely in the social, professional and
political walks of life. He was a
native of the city of Dublin, grad
uate of college in Ireland, and an
American by adoption. Coming
to this country at an early age,
he entered the Union army during
the late war, and served with dis
tinction.
Drifting west he went to San
Diego, when that city by the sea
was supposed to be one ofthe most
promising points on the Pacific
coast, for speculation and business
ventures.
Accidentally passing through
the Salt River valley, then unde'
veloped and almost an arid waste,
he was impressed with the magniE-
cent possibilities of that favored
section, and resolved to make Phe.
nix his home and engage in the
practice of law. Elected to the
legislative assembly from Maricopa
in 1880, he became prominent as 8
legislator and an important factor
In the creation of this county
which was at that time part o.
Apache and Pima counties. Short
iy after the adjournment of the leg
islature he moved to Stafford, anG
was appointed District Attorney
to fill vacancy created by the
resignation of Neri Osborn, who
had been appointed as locus ten
ems, until Mr.. Bolan could estab
lish his residence in this county
From that time he became a con
spicuous figure at the bar and il
the forum. AT the next election
he was elected Joint councilman
from this and Cochise eounties

EDISBURG

luMcQldIciy after the OuldluE or the
turnpike there was gceat demand for
bnilding lots and a portion Of the Grand
staff, ShryOck and BJymln Land was
laid off into town lots.
These lots wsro rapidly improved and
it was but a very few years until Edn-
burg was a hustling, active business
town. Located on the lett bank of
stony Greek whose excellent water
power encouraged the buildlng of mills
and factories, IL soon become prominent
tor Its wooden factory which in that day
was essential to the people who manu-
featured, to considerable extent their
own clothing, and for its mills which cor
verted the wheat and corn into meal
suitable for bread
It's location, of course, attracted emi.
grafton, much OF which by marriage
became connected with the Grandstaf
family, 50 that oven today there are com
paratively few families in the town who
are not, nearly or remotely, connected
with the Grsndstsif, Tue population OF
the town was active, industrious aud en-.
terpusng. One popularity was that
there were very few eolored people
among its population, and even at this
time Edinburg, has comparatively as few
colored people as any town in the state.
At the beginning of the war there was
one military company in the town which
was among the first that reached the
front and was part of the 10th Va. H.
fantry whose reputation for gallantry has
been. 50 firmly established. There were
also cavalry companies, one commanded
by Capt. Geo. Grandstaff,a gal liant grand
son Of the late Major Gee. Grsndstaff,
and one commanded by Capt. II. H..
Riddleberger, whose prominent Political
record IS known by all
Since the war, the town has continued
to improve and today has large number
of beautiful residences, substantial bust
ness houses and excellent churches suf-
Hcient to accommodate the entire popd-
lation.
CHURCHES.
The first church was the brick church
located on the high hill north Of town
and on the east side of the turnpike. 1t
was free church, used by all denOminA
tions on Sundays as a preaching place
and during the week as school house.
It was difficult of access, but in that day
this difficulty was not appreciated, as the
people we're willing 10 make as great
sacrifices in getting to church as in at
tending to ordinary business. The old
church may be properly termed an ante
bdlam church, as its period of usefulness
ended with the war and it gaTe way TO
the better and more accessible churches
which have been built by the several
denominations sirce. The United Broth
rem and Reformed, il we are informed,
built the first UNCONVENTIONAL churches.
The Methodist church received great
Impetus by the removal Of the family OF
Mr.. John J. Stoneburner to the town.
Mr.. S. was not a member OF tho church
but his wife was a most earnest and de.
voted chlrch yorker, and in her labor
had the active and liberal assistance OF
her hustand. 1t was through their effort.
and liberslity that the building Of the
present beautiful Methodist church WAS
IN dertsk ken and with an energy that
would not be discouraged, the compare
lively small congregation, Of that DAY,
succeeded in erecting church which

The missionary Fad, German, be- longing to Wurttemberg, writing from Abyssinia, says that one Goban Desta, who was educated near Basic and has been colporteur of the English Bible society, working in Harrar and Shoa, was taken and put in chains merely be- cause he wrote reports to Europe. King Menehk seemed determined to suppress every one who might report his prepa- Iations against the Italians. The king is surrounded, says MT. Fad, by French and Russian courtiers and boasts be- forehand of his victory over the Italians, and how he means to set forth from the Tigre to Jerusalem to free the Holy City. He needs the help of Russia and prom ises rich booty to his soldiers. He thinks he will do all this a easily as he car ried out raid lately against the Gallas, killing the men and making slaves of the women and children.

RESOLUTIONS

Of Housatonic Lodge on the Decease
 of Judge Granger.
 At regular communication of Hous- atomic Lodge No, 61, F. X A. M., held in their lodge rooms Tuesday evening, Nov. 18th, 1895, the following resolu- tions were adopted:
 Whereas. 1t has pleased the Supreme Architect of the Universe to call from his labors in the quarries of earth Brother Miles T. Granger, one whose name as a citizen wac without stain and who in all the relations of life bore high character, and one who as a Judge was honored by his associates on the bench, and by the bar which prac- ticed before him in all parts of the state, and
 Whereas, it is proper and becoming for this Lodge to place upon formal record in the archieves thereof some testimonial of the affection we bore our deceased Brother in his lifetime, and of the fond remembrance with which we cherish his memory, and
 Whereas. at the death of every Brother we feel the breaking of another chain that binds us to this world, and the entwining of another cord that draws us to the world to come. therefore be it
 Resoloel that while deploring the Joss which we sustain in the death of our beloved Brother we reverently bow in humble submission to this ordering oi God whose wisdom we cannot question but whose sffliction upon us as Lodge and as individuals is most grievous to be borne.
 Resotped that we cherish his memory as that of just and upright Mason | whose cheerful presence and kindly greeting will long be remembered bv all who had the pleasure of his company
 Resolped that we sympathize deeply with those upon whom his loss has fal len most heavily and we trust as time shall pass, his life and love shall remain to thsm blessed memory and that God will comfort and sustain them.
 Resolced that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this Lodge and that copy thereof be transmitted to the family of our deceased Brother | A T. RoRABACK,

DECEIVED BY APPEARANCES


 Some years since, merchant on Long Wharf advertised for Spanish milled dollars. The premium was high. A Roxbury farmer, who came in town for groceries, took pride in appearing like poor man. so he called at the counting room of the merchant and ask
 ed him if he wanted silver dollars. "Yes," replied the merchant, .'have you got any?" "Not with me-" said the farmer, "but I think I have at home. What do you give?" "Four per cent" said the merchant. and add ed, 'J will give you seven per cent for all you will bring me-" "Well." said the farmer, .I should like to have you clap down on paper how much you give. and the number of your shop. or I shall be puzzled to And it." "Yes, :" said the merchant, .'that I will do, what is your name9" Edward Sum- ner, said the farmer. The merchant then wrote as follows, and gave it to him: Edward Sumner, of Roxbury, says that he thinks he has some Spanish dollars at home, but don't know. I hereby agree to pay him seven per cent premium for all such dollars aa he may produce, G. A." "If I ind any," said the countryman. "I'll call with them tomorrow at nine o'clock; if l don't, you won't see me-" The appearance of the man satisfied the merchant that his dollars would be gcarce. At nine o'clock

 ran across two beautiful story tellers in Young's last evening-Jim Hart who travels for a Louisville liquid lightning establishment, and Harry Perkins, the representative of New York wholesale dry goods house.
 1T had a remarkable experience in my last trip from Cincinnati to Louisville, " said Hart. "I walked into the smoking car at Cincinnati and was just about to load my meerschaum for action when I espied young woman sitting in the seat directly across the aisle I beg your par don, said I, but Is this not the smoking oarf' 'Oh, yes, she replied Don't mind me. Light up.' l thanked the fair damsel anG Tit up, as advised. Imagine my surprise when she quickly leaned over, snatched the pipe from my mouth and threw it through the open window. I was speeches. with rage, for that pipe was my solace and delight. Looking over, I saw that she had one of those ugly little pugs sitting by her side. Without word I yanked that beast from his seat and sent him flying through the same window. Then you could have cut the silence with a knife The lady looked daggers. I looked moving machines. Not a word said she. I said the same When we ar rived at Louisville, left the car and the first sight that met my eyes was that frightful pug trotting along the station platform with my meerschaum firmly looked between his teethl"
 The bystanders were staggered at the story and the word "Ananias'' seemed to be forming on every lip, when Harry Per kins came to the rescue with his story.
 "Now, fellows" said Perkins, 4I cheer fully award the cake to Hart as the cham pion prevaricator. I never stretch the truth myself, and will vouch for my story. I was walking along the river front in New York one day when my at tention was attracted to two big long shoremen who were exchanging left handed compliments. Said Pat: Well, Tim, we've had enough gab; now let us foight. I'll go with ye over to the dock, and we'll foight this thing out. The man who is bate will cry Thought" and then we'll shake hands and have a dhrink to- gither.' All roight,' said Tim. Away they went, and I went with them.
 "It did not take them long to strip for action, and tell you, boys, it was the prettiest setto that have ever seen be- tween two unscienti6o men. They pum- meled each otber for just hour and 10 minutes when Pat cried, 'Enoughp Tim immediately seized hold of his opponents two hands and shouted: God bless ye, Pat, for thinking of that word wanted to spake it for the last half hour, and, be- gorra, couldn't think of it '
 As Perkins finished a dry cough went up, and for the next few minutes there was clicking sound like that made by liquid running down parched throats.- - Boston Traveller.
