The people of the West have studied
this question much more than the people
here. Bimetalism, "A standard, and
ratio are sadly mixed ut times.
Bryan made a mistake when he came
TO New York on "knight crrenity." The
talent, money and business here are
against him. Unless lac knew he could
blow ten thousand thousand "Rulanda

He did not enthuse the people before hls

BADLY HURT.

Captain Branigan came dowr
from Faulkner overland Thursday
The captain had quite an expert
ence coming down rocky canyon,
which might have cost him his
life. He was driving down a mar
row, rough canyon, and while try
ing to dodge an ovorhanging limb
one Of the wagon wheels struck a
rock, the limb at the same time
striking him in the side, and
throwing him out of his buggy.
The captain was badly hurt but
managed to stop the horses aud
after resting an hour or so man
aged to get into the buggy and
drive on. Las Cruces Republican.

Silver G ity, N. NJ. Aug. lS'-
il private telephone message
reached here this evening to the
effect that there was Il cloud burst
at the lower end of Silver Creek,
in the Mogollon mining district.
Sixteen houses were washed away
and seven or eight lives were lost
1t the presumption that the
cloudburst struck the hill below
the Maud s mill end those who
resided ~ the psrrow gorge imme-
dialely below were swept away.
Owing TO the fact that the wires
are all dowh it is impossible to
procure definite news of the cat
astrophe at this hour.
The place where the cloud burst
occurred is occupied by number
of workmen living in small board
shscks. 1t is almost certainty
that all Of these houses were
