 A. W. Zeigler who has been acting as blacksmith in the converter pit also went out.
 Walter Douglas took trip to Ben son this morning to meet Mir. Ben Williams who is returning from trip up North.
 C.P. Taylor and Jno, Maxfield, who have been employed in the mine here for some time past, left this morning tor pastures new.
 Miss Gun ningham, sister of MT. Mike Cunningham, came in on the train today. She expects to make quite visit in Bisbee, and [ ossibiy conclude to remain with us for a time.
 Miss Vaughn of Benson and Miss | Moore of Wilcox, also came in today. The young ladies generally have 6 good time when they come to Bisbee and we understand that they are nc. to be disappointed this time az some of the boys are getting up party for their benefit.
 Notices were posted tLis morning that pay dsy- of the Copper Queen would be postponed until Mir. Will liams returned. The very wryest looking faces were quite nun erous about town, but as Mir. Williams re- turned this evening we guess that the hard pressed individuals will not have to wait very long.
 Sherifs Fly and Leatberwood, Bert Alvord, snd a number of others left town early this morning to take the supposed trai! of the Nogales robbers. The trail in question WAS made by a party in winch there were nine horses. not be taken up till this morning and so the iugitives have about Is hours start. IL looks ss though the chances of overtsking them from here are very small unless they are headed of by some other party.
 MT. Jake Friedman. in relating c . number of incidents of his recent trip back east a few nights since, gave an interesting account of town in which he stopped in Missouri, believe the pane was Kirksvi,le, but am not quite certain. Jake stopped there for a number of days and says that by actual count there were five girls te every boy in the town. G,oups con- sisting of five CT six young ladies are !, to be seen on all sides, and wheneve, the boys go out they are blessed with the company of three or four of the fair ones. Jake mentions this in { very friendly way and thinks :hs: [ notice of the kind might help some O !, our aspiring young men out of tho way of difficulty. He will cheer fully give information on the subjec ! to any one so desiring and will hell

Il Curious Accident.

A curious story comes from Doug

meyer. On Sunday evening last, ne
heard strange noise in lis barn and
on going out foand COW suffering
from boat, caused by gas on the
stomach. 1t had eaten some alfalfa
hay which had been put up before be-
ing perfectly cured, and was in great
distress. He set down the lantern he
was carrying and rushed into the
house to get knife and stick the COW
as is the usual custom in such cases.
On his return he heard a tremendous
explosion and on reaching the barn
found it in darkness. He procured
another light and was astonished to
find the cow dead with it's stomach
ruptured in several places and the
entrails and liver scattered over the
barn. 1t was clear case of gas ex-
plosion. The COW had evidently got
ten loose and upset the lantern and
the gas from her stomach coming in
contact with the flame Of the candle
, had resulted disastrously to the cow
The mouth and throat of the animal
we're burned black. Never before in
this State has there been similar
case of gas explosion, although the
gas from alfalfa bloat is known to be
highly explosive under certain condi
tons. The COW was graded Hol
stein and valued ut S75.
