sFine Stock for Arizona.

Colin Cameron loaded out car load
of mixed stock this afternoon for his
ranch at Lochiel, Arizona Few cars
of stock sent from the yards recei thy
have represented so much value as this
one of Mr.. .Cameron's. In it were
several registered Guernsey COWS and
bulls, couple Of Holsteins and several
Herefords, three thoroughbred horses
and Shetland stallion. The Guern-
seys, Holsteins and Herefords were all
young cattle, and of registered pedigree
They cost an average of nearly $500 a
head, and were bought here and in
Missouri. Two thoroughbred stallion
colts and mare of famous racing stock
went to the Arizona ranch, and the
Shetland stallion, Which stood not over
two feet high, was for the improve
ment of Mr.. Cameron's already large
herd of Shetland ponies. The latter
came from Pennsylvania, and was
shipped by express in crate.=Kansas

to raise money to pay L. f. Parker
for his services as attorney in defeat
ing the Nogales land grant. Up to
time of going to press $1700 of the
$4,000 had been raised and no doubt
the balance will be secure b. this

Captain J. A. Baldwin, who was
formerly stationed at Fort Huachua
and who is we'll known here by many
of our citizens, was in Nogales Tues
day and Wednesday on his tour of
inspection of the companies of the

inspected the local company Tuesday
afternoon and found the boys we'll

evening the officers Of the company
gave the captain a banquet at Coffee

COMPANY in Arizona outside of the
large towns make as good a showing

U. S. Inspector Sam King was over
from Bisbee Thursday on a business
trip. Sam says the report that Black
Jacks gang chased him out of the
mountains is not true as he did not
even see any of the gang, though he
probably could have seen them last
Saturday had he gone to Bisbee from
the custom house that day. Several
members of the gang were laying for
him between the two places and O.
friend of his telegraphed him from Bis
bee that they were there. This gang
has threatened to kill King and Will
Hildreth on account of their activity
in chasing the gang several timesl
Both King and Iiildreth will stay in
that country as they do not believe the
fellows will make their threat good.
