Sad and Sudden Death.

Monday morning the community were schocked to learn that on the preceding day Raymond Grey, a young man about eighteen years of age, who had lived in Nogales from childhood, had been accidentally shot and killed, while hunting near Casita, station on the Sonora railway about thirty miles south of Nogales. Information of the sad accident was brought to his uncle, AIr, Ed. Burton, with whom he resided, about eleven o'clock Sunday night and the remains followed the messenger a couple of hours later.
 It seems that Raymond who had gone down to Casita on vacation, to visit some friends, was approaching a squirrel to shoot it. To do so he walked across a railway bridge, trail- ing his gun. As he raised the gun to fire the hammer caught on tic, dis charging the piece, the load entering under the chin, and literally blowing off the top of his head. Death was, of course, instantaneous.
 Monday afternoon the deceased, who was member of Company c, First Regiment Infantry National Guard of Arizona, was buried with military honors. The company marched to the residence of his uncle, Mir. Ed. Burton, and escorted the funeral cor tege to the Methodist church where services were held by Reverend K. Quinonez. Then the sad procession moved to the depot, whence, in ac- cordance with custom for burial of employees of the railway lone of whom the deceased was at the time of his death) train conveyed the party to the cemetery. There the hearsc was again in waiting, and the cortege wae again formed and wound it's way up the hill to the burial plot. There, with short and simple ceremony, tue mortal remains of promising youth were consigned to their last rest, his comrades fired over his grave their parting salute, and the last and sad rites to the dead were completed
 The parents of the deceased now re- side at Needles. His father, MT James Grey, was formerly locomo- tive engineer on the Sonora railway and is now employed in like capacity on the Atlantic X Pacific.

ITEMS FROM cRIrrENDEN.

A railway from Crittenden to liar shaw, Mowry and Washington Camp is among the strong probabilities of the near future The great and grow ing traffic of that region would make such a road very valuable property.
 Frank Powers has had a small force of men employed on his Worlds Fair mine at Harshaw for long time, and he has now completed his develop meut work so he can Stope out high grade ore in unlimited quantities. The development work still continues and when Mir Powers gets ready to ship ore he will astoniSh the world with producer.
 Richard Farrel has recently expend- ed about 5000 in development on the Trench mine at Harshaw, and has got the stoping ground in such shape that he can now increase his working force toseventy-fve or eighty men, which he will do at once. He has in sight an immense body of high grade ore, and will now resume regu- lar shipments via Crittenden.
 Measures are now under considera- tion for organization of syndicate of business men to take in hand the Crittenden town site and deyelOpe the town. The natural advantages of the place would create q goodly sized town, aud with the property in the hands of an aggregation of push CTS the work would be easy.
 Judge Ed. Vanderlip, who came in from Crittenden this week, reports matters very lively in that burg. The hauling of 1000 tons of ore monthly from Washington Camp, Harshaw and other points, and it's transhipment to the car at Crittenden, give employ ment to many men, and their disburs- ments make much business, filling the town with life, and the pockets of it's business men with shekeles.
 A report comes from Crittenden that MT. R. R. Richardson has orga- nized a syndicate which will take in hand and operate his Hardshell mine at Harshaw and the Flux mine about six miles from Crittenden. Both these properties show large ore bodies and their output will add no little to the mineral production of Southern Pima county. MT. Fitzgerald ST. will be connected with the deal.
 Michel Echeto, Dan Murphy and James Hale have recently located and opened a marble quarry about four teen miles southeast of Crittenden in a spur in the Patagonia mountain The deposit is of immense magni tude, said by experts to be of the pur est marble, both pure white and yarie gated in color. Specimens worked show it to be of superior quality. Witt machinery at Crittenden to work the stone this quarry would prove a bo- nanza.

sTUNe THEM AFTER DEATH.
Two Men Killed by the Poison in Dead
Snakes Fangs.

Two Men Killed by the Poison in n Dead
Snakes Fangs.
The farmers in the vicinity of CaX-
tons, settlement deep in the Penn
sylvania woods, have been excited over
two strange deaths, due, the more ig-
norant assert, to the Vaccinations OF
some hoodoo worker. One day last
summer Thomas Horton was passing
through a piece of cleared land when
he felt a movement beneath his feet
and blow on his right leg. CHANGING
down, Horton saw large rattlesnake
clinging to the bootleg. The snake
was shedding its skin, and therefore
in its most venomous condition. The
snake was killed. Horton examined
his leg, but found that he was not in
jured, as the serpent's fangs had not
penetrated the cowhide boot. When
Horton took off his boots that night he
put them away, and thereafter wore an
other pair. His wife gave the old boots
to Napoleon Meeker, a negro who
worked on an adjoining farm. He
wore them one day, but on the day fol-
lowing, when about his chores. was
taken with q pain in the right leg. 1t
grew worse and began swelling. De-
spite all hastily-applied remedies the
man died in great agony. Having no
family, his effects passed into the hands
of his brother, and among them were
the cowhide boots.
For some time the articles lay in a
corner of the cabin. Then Archibald
Hooker, a nephew of the dead man,
put them on. Before he had worn them
4S hours his right leg began to swell
and pain him. Again all remedies
failed, and, like his uncle, he died.
Then the negro portion of the com
munity, thoroughly alarmed, began to
talk of hoodoos and witchcraft. They
obtained the services of an old hoodoo
doctor who lived at distance, ard the
deaths were laid at the door oc sew
eral people, but, as no direct evidence
could be obtained, no legal action was
taken. Meanwhile the boots had passed
out of the Negroes possession into that
of an old trapper, to whom they were
traded for game. The trapper. who
was also a rattlesnake hunter, captur-
ing the reptiles for their oil, took the
articles to his hut in the woods and
put them on. The experience of the
two former wearers was repeated. The
second day he wore them he was at
tackled with pain in his leg. His eN
perience told him it was the result of
rattlesnake poisoning.
Though unable to account for the in
jury, he applied an infallible remedy
for snake bites which he possessed, and
slowly recovered. An examination of
the injuredleg revealed a smalbscratch,
no bigger than that inflicted by a needle
point, almost indiscernible, but which
was evidently the source of the poi
son. As the ground was frozen when
the trapper received his wound, he sus
pectcd the truth and began a critical
examination of the right bootinH. AZ
last his search was rewarded by find
ing the small point of piece of bone
imbedded in the hide. 1t was the fang
of the rattlesnakc, placed in such n
way that on drawing out the foot the
fang, which curved upward, would not
injure it, but on putting the boot on
it would be almost impossible to escape
a slight scratch from the poison-cov-
cred tooth.-N. Y. Press.
