The aoets we're the property Of Reyes
Rascop, who lives noar Pnos Altos, and
were missed BY their owner about the
18th Of March. The job boys when
brought into court testified that the
goats camo 70 their ranch and that they
corralsd them IN the hope Of finding
the owner, but the evidence Of guilt was
% strong against them that they were
bound over in tie sum Of 800 each.

St. Stsphen's aud st. Elizaboth's
Guild, o. the Episcopal Church. under
tho direction Of Mrn n. H. Belts aud
Miss Belle Eckles, win give al enter
tainmonS for The benefit Of the church,
At Newcomb ball, on Thursday evening,
April 10Th. One Of The principal foa-
lures OF the entertainment viii be- a rep
resentation Of Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works.

which "a best local talent will partioi-

Interest has been warming up for some
time over TIE election Of a member Of
the board OF education in this city and
a spirited contest ~ looked for IN today's
election. Martin Cox was the nominee
Of the city primary and William Brahm
will BE- a candidate for reelection on an
independent ticket. Both are demo-
Gratis and good men, and consequently
politics will play no part in the choice Of
the people. The question Of salaries ap-
pears to 30 about the only issue; come
oontending that the present salaries are
too high, while others hold that the
efficiency Of the teachers and The amount
OF work performed by them will more
thHn justify the present schedule paid.
II that wagon road SHOULD be built
from Magdalona 10 tho Mogollons our
Silver City merchants would"cuss"their
III luck. And in this connection we want
to say that the road ought to be and
will be built unless the County commits
~sioners Of Grant County aud the bust
mes y mon Of this place make some effort
to iorestall the PROJECT. This can only
be done by improving the road from
here 70 Mogollon. There isgreat dissat.
isiaotion among the freighters and citi.
zens Of MogoIlon over the condition Of
tho roads and our quiet indifference "
them. The loss Of the business Of the
Mogollon country means = serious blow
70 Silver City, and We might as well be-
GIN to consider this matter in all its pos.
sibllities.
