Rev A. d. Davis has severed his con-
nection with the Sussex County Republi-
can, published at Georgetown, Sussex
county. Failing health, we believe, led to
his withdrawal. The Republican, in an
nouncing the severing Of his connection
with that paper says his sterling honesty
and sound Republicanism as expressed
and advocated through that journal, and
his strict adherence to pure Republicanism
during the campaign of 1895, will long be
remembered by all good Republicans and
will always rebound to his credit and hon
Or" The Republican might have added
that 1t was against his advise the Republic
cans of Sussex county got themselves into
the ''hole" in which they find themselves
to-day. The few hundred indictments,
led by Robert Houston, are responsible for
the Democratic Legislature and the cleo
ton of Democrat to the U. $. Senate,
They deserve to rank with the cowboys of
1776, and share their ignomfny in the es-
timatlon Of their fellow citizens. Demo.
cratic ascendency will long stand rs an
evidence OF their blindness, If not Of their
absolute treachory to their party and its
principles

Charles Wright, who resides near the
brick meeting house, on the Kenneth
Pike, is n great lover Of the fox and
hound. He has for several years kept Il
large and valuable pack of hounds to fol-
low the hunt with. Several days ago he
noticed that one of the young hounds
which he allowed more freedom than the
Others in the pack, was acting strange.
Nothing at the time was thought Of it,
other than it acted as if it had fits; finally
it died Then another one Of the paCl! be-
gan to act stran gcly when the horrible
truth flashed across Mr.. Wright's mind
that the animal was mad He fastened
Aomc and securely fastened up the other
hounds, some sixteen in number, and xii l.
cd the mad hound. He will kill the other
hounds, as he is afraid they may have been
bitten by the mad hound. The animals
were valuable and the owner would not
have taken nice sum of money for them.
One of the hounds had bcCn trained to
draw one OF his little children around in a
tiny wagon, and it will cost him many
pang to have 20 kill this particular ami
mai, hu; it las to be done 1t would be
well for the farmers Of Christtana Hun

dogs that may have been bitten in the

George amos, well-known sheep
man of Pinetop, in the southern por
ton of this county, last Saturday shot
and killed John Creavy, half-breed
Mexican, in camp about four miles east
Of the village. Mr.. Amos, after the
shooting, rode into Show Low and sur.
rendered himself to Deputy Sheriff
Adams. There being no Justice of the
Peace nearer than Justice Hatch, at
Taylor, the sheriff and his prisoner re-
paired to the last named village. JUS
tice Hatch at once summoned coro-
ners jury, and all departed for the
scen9 OF the killing. On arrival, the
jurors were sworn, and on the state
ment Of the defendant and one other
witness, the jury returned a verdict of
justifiable homicide. The prisoner or
dered released from custody and the
body inferred.
From the testimony aoduced at the
inquest, we learn that the shooting was
the outcome Of reprimand By George
Amos to the deceased, an employee,
wi4ioh Creavy resented and reached for
his siX-shooter. Just as he pulled it
George, who was too quick for him,
fired, striking him just bove the bridge
of the nose, the bullet going clear
through the head, coming out behind
and at the base of the skull, killing
him instantly.
John Creavy, the deceased, had been
in the employ Of the Amos Bros, only
about one month, but he had been in
the neigh borhood for several months.

that they last the round trip, particu-
lariy the liquid. Sam Barnett was

Territorial Fair.

The secretary OF the teRFiScg;al fair
at albuquerque writes us that the
coming fair will be the largest and most
attractive of any Of the fairs ever held
at Albuquerque. The exposition build
ing will be filled to overfowing with
the products of the country.
The poultry department will be reps
resented by breeders from ali over the
west, many Colorado breeders have al
ready signified their intention to make
exhibits.
The field sports this year will be i'm
mense. There win ba no less than six
ball clubs which will enter the lournax
men6; and the lovers of baseball will
sac some of the finest exhibitions OF
the national game ever played in the
Rocky Mountains.
The bicycle races will be greater than
ever before. The Secretary has just had
orders for ten entry blanks from Den
Yer and dozen from Pueblo, with nu-
merous letters from other points from
bicycle riders saying they would attend.
The Railroad Company has made the
low rate of = cents per mile each way
between Trinidad, Colo, and EI Paso
and Silver City, and west as far as the
Needles, Cal. The Texas Pacific, the
Pecos Valley, the D. & r G., and the
Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix have all
made rates in conjunction with the
Santa Fe road.
The Secretary is in correspondence
with great many breeders Of fine bred
sheep in the eastern states, and he ex-
poets quite number of fine bucks to
be placed on exhibition for the benefit
of the sheep growers Of the southwest.
Everybody should attend the terri
torial fair this year who are interested
N the development of the southwest,
or in any way fond of field sports.
Everyone, no matter in what channel
his taste may run, viii have chance
to crafty it.

A hobo went into the mercantile es-
taolishment OF Messrs. Lesser & Saw
yer last Monday, and pretended that
he wanted to buy suit Of clothes.
He had an overcoat swinging from one
shoulder Mr.. Wolff left the desk to
wait on him, and when thought Ed.
was not watching him, he slipped two
pair of pants under the arm the coat
was ever, but he was not slick enough,
Ed saw the movement and called him
down. He was arrested, taken before
Judge MeAllister and given fifteen
days in the county Jail After sentence
had been passed, he lay down and re-
fused to walk, saying, 'if they wanted
him in the lookup they would haze C
carry him." and walk he wouldn't.
