Messrs. L. P. Fart and Harry Clas-
sen went out to Horseshoe the hrst of
the week, where Mr.. Hart, in partner
ship with i. Douglass Smith, has some
valuable opal mines. This was the
first time that Mr.. Hart has seen the

able to ship several carloads Of opals
to the market in June.
Col Milllsen, the lone republican, OF
Hachita, wss IN the city the first of
the week. The colonel reports that
very little is doing in that camp in a
mining way, but says that il silver
keeps going up 1t will not be long I'M
I'll many mines are working. Without
doubt Hschita Is one of the best sill
ver-lead camps in the southern part of
the territory, but it caAnot produce
four bit silver.
T. j. goggin and Mart Hardin went
down to Ell Paso the first of the week
to be present at the trial of Bud Fra
ger for shooting j. G. Miller at Pecos
City some months ago. There has
been bad blood between Frazer and

time they have had several encounters
and although both are good. shots they

last winter.
DIR. and AIRS. ]. a. Leahy and Mas
ter J.. B. Leahy left yesterday for Fort
Thomas, Arizona, to visit Mr.. Leahy's
brother, Col. NJ. A. Leahy. 1t is I'M
derstood that there is a dispute be-

the purpose Of settling the matter.
Five Apache chiefs have been appoint
cd judges. The LIBERAL, of course,
backs the Lordsburg boy against any
thing Arizona a produce. They in
tend to return Tuesday.
Judge Bantz is giving good satisfac.
tion in the term of court he is holding
over in Dona Ana county, and if he
keeps on at the gait he has started he
will make a model Judge. Last week
he sentenced a man named Juan Silva,
who had been convicted of murder in
the second degree, to the pe~nitentiary
for ninty-nlne years, and on top OF
that required him to pay the costs OF
the trial, and stand committed till
the costs were paid. AS Juan will NOT
have to pay the costs till he comes out
OF the penitentiary he has a good long
time in which to earn the necessary
money.
Superintendent of Schools Link in.
forms the Liberal that the Lordsburp
school district is in debt to the
amount of $3.50, and the term is not
up as yet. Mr.. Link does not see
where the district will get enough
money TO pay our teacher what will
be owing him at the end Of the term.
1t looks as though it will take a good
portion OF the revenue OF the coming
year to pay this years debts. He says
that he VIII not allow the district tC
make a contract next year that 1t will
not have the money to liquidate. He
does not believe in letting a district
get so far in debt that there is no show
OF getting 1t out.
There was another attempted traiu
robbery In California last week aud
one mar has gone out OF the train
Fobbing business. Two men held uI
a train and got no returns from the
express car, SO they concluded to try
the passengers. Among the passen.

Tehama county. Sheriff Bogard did
