A Hold Up.

Following is an account of the
hold up on the Santa Fe road
which occurred a week ago last
Saturday.
Saturday night there was a
very seccessful hold up on the
Santa Fe Pacific road about an
hundred miles west of Albuquerque.
When the train stopped at Grants
three or four robbers took pos
session of it, and with the aid of
the fireman ran it down the track
a mile or so, where the express
car was cut from the train, and this
was pulled further down the track
where the work was done. The
express messenger had left bis car
and gone into the passenger car.
The robbers could not open the
door and so used dynamite and
blew it open. A charge of dyna,
mite was put on the through ex-
press safe, and the explosion blew
The safe open. The fireman held
the sack and the robbers filed it
up, aud undoubtly got good haul.
They pulled bottle gave the fire
man q drink and turned him loose.
The fireman ran the engine and
cars back TO the train, and hit it a
hard blow, which turned car
stove over and set the car on fire.
Three cars were burned up. The
train got into Albuquerque about
twelve hours late. Sheriff Hub
bel and a posse from Albuquerque
went out to the scene of the rob
berry, found the robbers trail, and
the posse went after them. Up TO
the lime of going to press the
posse has not been reported as
having caught the robbers. Mar.
shal Foraker has telegraphed to
Washington for permission to put
a posse IN the field to run the gang,
down. Under the present law he
cannot pay posse Unless he has
! apecial permission from Washing
ton. 1t is generally thought that
this work was done by the BLACK
Jack" gang, and this again brings
up the question as TO the death oi
BLACK Jack" The Liberal has
made car,luI investigation re-
garding this matter and has evi'
dence that would be satisfactory
in any probate corrt that the man
| Killed near Clifton was redoubtable
| BLACK. jack himself. IL has
equally reliable and satisfactory
evidence that since that killing
BLACK Jack" has been seen alive
aud well in numerous places by
various man, and that he is not q
ghost. The Liberal frankly con
| fesses that it does net know
| whether "Black Jack" is alive oi
not. Ouo thing is certain, that i
this work on the Santa Fe PaclhC
was done by the BLACK Jack
gang it was the most successful bi
| of work ii has ever Accomplished
and it IS the frat time the gang hai
been successful IN holding up any

ESTABLISHED FACTS.

Concerning Graham County, Which are
Well Worth Serious Consideration
by those Seeking new Homes, or Men
Seeking Profitable Investment for
Capital.
The agricultural resources of the
Gila valley are both varid and ex
tensiye, comprising an area Of
arabic land of which there is al
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 10000 acres which is
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de
cidious andcertain classes Of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home Of
alfalfa, of which from A to 5 crops
are grown yearly, yielding from 8
to 8 tons per acre. It is not as
stocky as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolifcly, the former containing a
very large amount of nutrition,
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties Of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than IN the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and hill lands are
adapted to all OF the products of
the temporal zone, and many of
the fruits of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexeelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with sur
prising rapidity. The peaches in
appearance and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some of
the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests now show
that canagrie root, which flourish.
es near Thomas, IN the lower por-
ton ofthe valley, contains a large
er per cent Of tannic acid than any
ever sent to the extract works
from either Arizona or New Mexi-
co.
Farming lands can be purchased
at from $50 to 500 per acre, in
Guiding Improvements and water
rights. ..
Uncultivated land without water
right is free to any settler under
the United States homestead law.
This class Of farms will eventually
become valuable when the canal
facilities have been increased.
The cost of maintaining the ca
nails which are owned by the farm
ers varies from 80 cts. to $l.00 per
acre per year.

Blind Watchmakerx.

There have been blind watchmakers. In
former years there was one living at Hoi-
be ach, in Lincolnshire. His name was
Rippin, and although completely blind,
he could take to pieces and put together
again watches of most delicate coEstruc.
ton with SURPRISING ease. He was robbed
once of some of the tiny belongings OF
his trade, such as wheels. hair-sprlngs,
etc. the thief was Traced, and Rippin
identified and swore 10 his property by
the touch.
At Barns BILE, too, in the early part OF
the present century, there was another
such prodigy. HIS name was William
Huntly; he was born blind, and was
brought up by his fathers who was clock
and watch maker, to that business. The
inhabitants had great faith in him, and
he had plenty of employment; musical
clocks and watches even we're repaired by
him without difficulty; and it is said that
IN some cases where other tradesmen had
failed to discover defect, he detected the
fault and set it right. Tit Bits.

The Cost of Schooling.

The Der of children in the public
day schools OF Boston is now about r. 600.
For the past five years the increase has
averaged over 1000 year; last year it was
considerably larger. This is double the
annual increase ten years ago. at which
time. according to Superintendent Seaver's
report. the average annual expenditure
for new schoolhouses was less than 500
for each new pupil. For the last two
years this expenditure has increased to
nearly $268 for each child, bringing the
cost OF new schoolhouses from less than
$500, 900 to more than $500, 900 annually.
