Nearly an Accident.

A. A. Whitney narrowly escaped
what might have been serious
accident Wednesday evening while
enroute to Solomonville accom-
panied by Mrs. Snedden and her
daughter Maggie. 1t seems that
while on the road between the
depot and Solomonville the way
became so rough that it was
thought advisable to cut off some
of the distance by taking more
direct route to the town, this how
ever did not prove successful, as
scarcely had the road been left
than a ditch of considerable depth
was reached. Mr.. Whitney was
not aware of the presence of the
ditch, and was only apprised of
the fact by the horses making an
effort 10 jump it. OF course the
horses jumping brought the buggy
forward with q terrible suddeness,
and Mr.. Whitney was thrown ae-
cross the dashboard upon one of
the horses and from there fell to
the ground, the wheels of the bug
gy running over him directly at
the hip. He retained presence of
mind though, which in such cases
always is of much value, and kept
firm hold on the reins and by
giving the animals a stern COM
mand to stop succeeded in regain
ing his feet. 1t is almost a miracle
how man as heavy as Mr.. Whit
ney was thrown from the buggy
while two ladies who were with
him retained their seats.
When Mr.. Whitney was thrown
from the buggy there being no dry
spots in the vicinity he was COM
PEELED, much to his discontinue, to
land in pool of mud of no small
dimensions. After removing his
clothing and drying them by a fire,
and giving them a thorough dust
ing and renovating he arrived at
the dance three hours late.

Kickers Dance.

All the Kicker's Klub dances
heretofore have been successful and
the one in the Court house, at Sol
omonville, Wednesday evening was
no exception. This was the first
dance of the Klckers this season
and it is the intention of the Klub
to hold dances at regular intervals.
The Court house was scarcely large
enough to hold the monster crowd
of ladies and gentlemen who enjoy
tripping the slight fantastic toe"
Quadrilles, Lanciers and Waltzes
were danced in rapid succession.
Mrs. Ncese the popular caterer
served lunch in the Recorders of
fee and the Solomonville Spanish
Orchestra furnished the music.
Many were present from Stafford.

Died of Lock jaw.

Jesse, the IA year old son of Mr..
William A. Gillispie, residing about
8 miles above Stafford, died We'd
nesday night at 1890 o'clock from
lock jaw, caused by cut in the
hand received nearly two months
ago. Some time during the month
of September Jesse Gillespie severe
ly cut his hand with a large knife.
The cut was directly across the
palm of the hand and, while 1t re-
ceived the usual treatment, no bad
results were anticipated as the
hand, it seemed, had almost fully
recovered. However, last week
one day The young man was thrown
from his horse and In at
tempting to break the force-off-ttialee the he
fall used the hand that had been
wounded, and again broke open the
wound its full length. Proper
medical attention was at once call
ed and every thing was done to re-
lieve the young sufferer, but med
icines were usless and he was taken
with lock jaw from which he never
recovered, and at the time above
given, while surrounded by his
family and DR.. Lacy, the attending
physician he breathed his last.

IMMIGRATION.
1t Has Been Large at the Port ofNew York
During the Past Six Months.


The immigration to the port of
New York from Europe during the
past six months, or from the open
ing of May to the end of October
has been much larger than it was
during the corresponding period of
last year.
The immigrants landed from
May to October of this year, in
elusive, numbered very nearly 50,-
600 more than for the same months
of the year 1894. Italy and Russia
have sent their full share of this in
crease.
There is every reason tor believ-
ing that when the current fiscal
year is ended in June next tho i'm
migration statistics will be much
higher than they have been for
some years past. This estimate is
justified by the fact that, while the
arrivals for the fiscal year 1S94'5
numbered but 190,92S, those for
the past six months have numbered
l42, ,165. The falling off for the
last fiscal year occurred in the first
half of it, or in the year 1894.

Found in a Mud Hole.

Monday morning, the wide
awake brakeman, j. III. Graham on
S21, between Ell Paso and Silver
City, discovered the form of a man
in mud hole one mile east of Mutt
station. He notified the train
crew at Mutt, and they verified his
conjecture. The man is as yet un-
identified. A few articles of camp
ing outfit were found beside the
pond. Various theories as to the
cause of his death are entertained.
Citizen.
When the train crew reached the
body they found the throat had
been cut, and appearances indicat-
ed the man had been murdered
while asleep and the body thrown
into the pool.
The victim was Will Cheney one
of the Cheney Brothers who had a
lease on Governor Padley's ranch
at Las Cruces. He left Las Cruces
Saturday morning with saddle
horse and pack mule, with three
weeks supplies, intending to meet
some friends at Lake Valley and
Hillboro and go on prospecting
trip. The animals and provisions
taken by the murderer; about eight
dollars in money and the dead
mans watch were also taken.
Much indignation is expressed at
the actions of the sheriff of Dona
Ana county who it is said refused
to take any steps to capture the
murderer. Frank Cheney, brother
of the murdered man, and Ben
Williams, took the the trail yester-
day.-Silver City Enterprise.

Harmless Goyernnr.

The governor of Ohio is the only
executive in the country who has
not the power to veto. 1t seems
that the Buckeye state has done
business without the provision for
years. The story Of how it was
abolished is interesting. Years ago
Ohio governors derived big share
of their income from marriages, for
performing which they were allow
ed 50 each. In the early days that
was a large sum, and the executive
counted this principal source of
revenue. Finally the fee was alb
olished by legislative enactment,
but the governors salary was sut-
ficiently increased to cover the fees
which were lost. General Arthur
st. Clair, who was then governor
of the territory, veoted the bill
abolishing the fees and signed the
one raising the governors salary.
This performance, so the story
goes, so angered tho people that
they soon afterward abolished the
veto power and later took it out of
the constitution.

er was introduced by Mr.. A. A.
Whitney, special agent for the
Osborne Machine Co., who sug-
gested the erection of machine
that would move ten feet of dirt
at once and make a uniform grade.
He was requested by the club to
draw out a diagram of the machine
and ascertain the price of erection
which he did. The plan was
adopted, and the leveler is now in
course of construction. The streets
are being daily improved under
the supervision of the Club Com

How to Kill n Newspaper.

Press and Printer informs us that
an editor who has evidently felt
some portion of the process gives
the following instructions for kill
ing newspaper; Just let your
subscription go. It's only dollar
or two-the publisher don't need
it. If he asks you for it just get
as mad as you can and tell him to
stop the paper--you never read it
anyhow. Then 60 borrow your
neighbor's. When the reporter
comes for news always be busy.
Make him feel as if he were in
truding, that your time is worth
500 a minute. When the adver-
tising and job man comes tell him
you don't need to advertise-every-
body knows you; that you will try
to get along without any printed
stationery-its too expensive; that
business is slack and you must
economize. Never drop in to see
the editor unless you want a free
complimentary notice or lengthy
obituary for beloved relative.
Never recommend the paper to
anybody. When you speak of it
always say: "Yes, we have little
sheet, but it don't amount to much"
Keep this up for year or two
and you will have a dead news
paper, dead set of merchants and
a dead town.
