Information was received lGst night that Tom Haley was shot at six times by neighbor, at his home on Mineral Greek, last Sunday afternoon. Mir. Haley was sitting in his cabin reading a paper when the man Ga brotherinlaw of Mir. Dunbam, owner of mines on Mineral Creek,) entered and asked Haley why he had refused to speak to him. It seems there was & misunder- standing between them and Haley replied that he did not know him and did not see why he should speak to him. The man backed out of the door and as he did so opened fire on Haley and shot six times without effect. Haley returned the fire and followed the man until he got inside of his own yard.

The only foundation for the report that the Old Dominion Copper Co. is to close down, is contained in the fol- lowing extract from the Boston Herald of March r, which can be dismissed as idle rumor: "Out of 150, 900 shares of Old Dominion stock outstanding two people command 94. .0o0 shares, and of this amount New York director holds 78,000 shares. We understand that the holdings of this stock are strong enough to warrant drastic action as respects the railroad extension to Globe, and that as Mir. Garland, the president of the railroad company. owns the teaming interest, and does not come to terms with Mr. Huntington, there is some discussion among the owners of the mine as to the advisa- bility of closing the Old Dominion mine until the railroad extension question is settled"

The stage from Riverside last Sun- day, with five passengers aboard, met with disaster on the grade some dis tance below Pioneer. One of the front wheels collapsed, and the stage turned over. John Cramer, q passenger, was unable to extricate himself and sus- tained painful injury to his left hip, shoulder and side. The other passengers escaped without damage, although W. w. Hill, superintendent of the Black Warrior Copper Co.,, pitched twenty feet down the embark. ment. Mir. Hill walked several miles to Bremen's mill, for assistance. Mean while, at the suggestion of Mir. Cramer, the three wheels were changed on tho stage and skid placed under the hint axle, and in this manner the party reached Pioneer, where another vince broke. The three passengers with MT Cramer then footed it to Bremen'i mill where Mir. Hill procured wagon to bring them to Globe. MT. Cramel and the stage driver were picked up by the buck. board following the stage witl the baggage, and reached Globe late Sunday night. It was rough expcr fence for Mir. Cramcr who has not ye recovered from his injuries.

D. R. Gerard and Anton Trojanovic while on the way to town from Lost Gulch last Saturday, met with mishap which proved rather serious to Anton. While riding at brisk gait through Miami valley. Anton's horse stumbled and fell, throwing him on his head, Gerard was unable to check his steed and they came to grief also, over the prostrate form of Anton's horse. It was a bad mix, in which Anton sus- tained all ths injury. He received s bad cut on the left temple, and was un- conscious for couple of hours after being brought to town. He was able to be about again next day, but says Fitzsimmons' knockout blow isn't a circumstance to the jolt he received.

A. E. Kilpatrick, of Fillmore, Cal, had the misfortune to have his leg caught between cart and a stone and badly bruised. Ordinarily he would have been laid up for two or three weeks, but says: After using one bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm began to feel better, and in three days was entirely well. The peculiar soothing qualities which Chamber lain's Pain Balm possesses I have never noticed in any other liniment. I take pleasure in recommending it." This liniment is also of great value for rheumatism and lame back. For sale by H. c. Hitchcock, druggist.

Roberto Sullivan, Mexican pris- oner, made his escape from the jail yard last Saturday afternoon. As had been the practice the prisoners were let out into the yard for exercise and to do various chores, and it is surmised that while Jailor Collom was directing the piling of some wood in the rear, near the east ern corner of the yard, Sullivan, who is an athlete and circus performer, scaled the north fence, which is about seven feet high, with four strands of barbed wire above 1t. He did it with out making any noise, and his absence was not immediately noted. Another theory is that Sullivan secreted himself in the we'll or outhouse until the other prisoners returned to the jail, when he escaped unobserved. When the loss was discovered, Sheriff Will iamson started out at once and was gone nearly all day Sunday, but got no trace of the fugitive. Sullivan and a companion made murderous as. sault upon another Mexican on Piual mountain last January, and Sullivan was captured a few days later by Deputy Sheriff Joe Mckinney after a hard chase near Picacho station, on the Southern Pacific. His escape it probably fortunate thing for the county, as it is doubtful if the chiei witness against him would appear in coilrt

The popularity of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the high esteem in which it is held leads us to believe it to be an article of great worth and merit. We have the pleasure of giv- ing the experience of three prominent citizens of Redondo Beach, Cal, in the use of the remedy. MT. A. V. Trudell says: II have always received prompt relief when I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mir. James Orchard says: 'I am satisfied that Chamber lain's Cough Remedy cured my cold" Mir. J. M.
