Grants Patent of Nobility.

During the years OF his second ad-
ministratiOn President Grant was ac-
customed to spend his summers at Mont
real Beach, n. j. Near his cottage was
that of Hon. George M. Robson, secre-
tary of the navy, whose family consist,
ed of his wife, his 4-year- old daughter
Ethel, and his Swear old stepson, Rich
ard Aulick, whose father had been a
commander in the navy.
1t was the custom of all war vessels
to fire a series of salutes as they passed
the secretary's cottage. These were con-
scientiously returned by young Aulick,
who had mounted toy cannon at the
foot of the flagstaff in front Of the house.
One morning while the children were

and rushing to the front yard they be,
held great smoke wreaths drifting away
from the United States ship Tallapoosa.
Without further ado Richard applied
the fuse to his gun and acknowledged
the salutation. While thus employed the
kneeling boy suddenly felt three light
blows ON his back, and looking up be,
held the figure Of the president standing
beside him. In one hand the nations
chief held lighted cigar, while in the
other the astonished boy saw a toy
sword belonging to his sister Ethel.

said the rugged old warrior, amid the
laughter of several friends who attended
him.
Then, returning his cigar to his lips,
he smiled grimly and resumed his way.

wolseley's Close Call.

On one occasion Lord Wolseley's life
was saved by Prince Victor Of Hohen-
lobe, known as Count Gleichen. 1t was
in the Crimea, when young Wolseley,
badly wounded, was passed by the sur
geon as dead. Undisturbed by the sur
geon's remarks, Prince Victor tried to
extract jagged piece of stone which
was sticking in the wound, and the
prince succeeded in restoring Wolseley,

Torn by Horses.

During the middle ages great crimi-
mails, such as parricides and persons who
conspired against the king, were torn
to pieces by horses, one or two powerful
steeds being fastened to each limb and
driven in different directions. Ravaillac,
the assassin of Henry Nv, and Damiens,
who conspired against Louis XIV, were
put to death in this manner.

the information that led to Black
Jacks death it was then predicted
that it would only be a matter of
time until he would fall a victim

an attempt was made to assassinate
him by blowing up the house with

ing. Since that time Shaw has
been on the trail of the outlaws
and they in turn have been after
him. In the meantime a portion
Of the gang has been killed, but
Shaw had no hand in the killings.
The people at Clifton have been
expecting to hear Of Shaw's death
daily. and it was therefore no
surprise when the news reached
there that he was probably dead.
Last Thursday Sheriff Birchfeld
received telegram from Ben Clark
that he had found portion of
Shaw's clothing in the mountains,
pierced with bullets, but that no
body had been found. But as the

APACHEs DISTRICT ATTORNEY

Hon. Alfred Ruiz, District Attorn-
.ey of Apache county, at the recent
term of the district court in that
county won a great victory for
himself and the people of his coun-
ty. After the passage OF the Clas-
sifieation Law placing all county
treasurers on salary, the Apache
Board of Supervisors allowed their
county treasurer two per cent as
tax collector upon all county
moneys handled during the years
1895 and 1895, in addition 10 the
fixed salary. Mr.. Ruiz brought
suit against the treasurer and the
county Board to recover this per.
centage. Messrs Herndon and
Merits represented the defendants
and after trial of the case and the
submission of the law, judgement
YVES rendered in favor of the coun,
ty for the percentage amounting
to tho sum of sl493, with 20 per-
cent thereon as an attorneys fee
for which the law provides. Mr.
Ruiz is a bright young lawyer and
the people of Apache county
should be proud of him as their
district attorney, We congratu'
late him and his county upon their
victory won by his efforts and
vigilance.
