The Lordsburg Liberal of last week relates the following amusing incl. dent:
 The gang Of Meyicans who were selling spelter under the guise of bars of stolen silver amalgam, an account of whose fate in El Paso was related in the last Liberal, made trip to Silver City after leaving Lordsburg, before they went to Fl Paso. As is well known Silver City has the repu- tation of being the greatest sucker town in the southwest. The silver brick game was worked on a prom incnt citizen of the town, the well known sleuth, Harvey Whitehill. Old Harvey gathered in all the silver bricks he had money to pay for and figured on clearing d nice little sum. The Mexicans had more bricks and Harvey did not want to let them go, SO he went to a friend to borrow enough money to get all the bricks. The friend knew something of the game, and when old Harvey told him what he wanted money for he put him on to it. It is said that the expression
 on the ex-sherif's face, wien he found he had been worked, stopped the clock in the Exchange saloon. The old gentleman said that he would never be caught on gold brick game, but when he run up against free silver brick it was too much Tor him. ITO think, he said, that T-haye lived in the west for forty years, and at last in my old age, have been buncoed by
 kids. He has kept the story very quiet and will be surprised to read
 this account of it in the Liberal.

OF that term. 1t has been said that fhe
noblest man Is he who lives and arfs
within the range Of we'll defined. high
and righteous principles, and by that
test Judge Wales was one OF the noblest
OF men. eo'o''
Judge Wales possessed those attrac.
tive, but indescrlbable traits OF eharac-
ter and manner which held securely
and permanently the respect and affecL
tion of all who enjoyed the great prlvi-
lege OF his personal friendship and con-

great shock The older members OF the
profession who were so long hds as,ao-
ciates most deeply feel their great per
sonal loss. His memory will be en-
shrined in their hearts while life shall
last and memory holds her seat. To
them, especially, his death was the
passing away OF a beautiful life and of
q tender and loving spirit, and they
keenly feel that in his death something
very precious has gone out OF their
lives forever"
Following this were addresses OF en-
logistic character by Messrs. Biggs and
Conrad.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies
over the death of Judge Wales, Chief
Justice Lore called the attention of the
members Of the bar, nearly all OF whom
were present, to this being the last day
OF the old court under the old Constl-
tuition. He spoke feelingly and effec-
lively OF The relations existing between
the bench and the bar, and short adj

DOVER BANK OFFICIALS MAY
PROCEED AGAINST PERSONS
NOW UNDER SUSPICION.


Dover, June 9.-Some Democratic
politicians here are becoming solicitous
over the Boggs matter. IL has leaked
out that the Board OF Directors is con-
templating legal steps against some
persons who have been in measure
implicated in the defalcation at the
First National Bank.
One transaction that leaves $4,000
unaccounted for which amount was
represented by checks that passed
through the Farmers Bank, state in
stitution, enc branch of which is To-
Gated here. and paid by the First Ma
tional Bank while Boggs officiated at
the teller's window, causes the un-
easiness.
The checks have mysteriously dis
appeared. but the cashier of the Farm
ers' Bank, Walter Morris, is said to
know all the facts
Another case in which a Democratic
office-holder is involved is somewhat
similar, but the amount in this instance
is smaller, being between $1,000 and
$S, 600.
Yesterday afternoon President Harry
A. Richardson effected an arrangement
with the Board OF Directors by which
the latter transferred to him the securi-
ties Of the First National Bank, and he
in turn assumed all responsibility for
the liabilities of the bank This has re-
stored whatever confidence was lacking
in the ability OF the bank to meet all
its obligations.
Several OF those who became alarmed
and withdrew their savings, returned
yesterday and again opened accounts.

RARE GIFTS TO WILMINGTON BAPTISTS
HON. T. F. BAYARD WILL MAKE
THE PRESENTATION ON MON
DAY EVENING.


The Baptists of Wilmington consider
themselves very fortunate owing to
three rare gifts presented them by Hon.
T. F. Bayard, ambassador to England
under the Cleveland administration.
The first of the gifts is a chair, which
is an exact reproduction of the one oc-
cupied by John Bunyan when he wrote
that imperishable literary monument
known as The Pilgrims Progress. -
The second is a fac simile of the
charges issued for his arrest for pub
Ideally expounding the gospel. The last
and probably the most important and
interesting, is an original copy of 1.-The
Pilgrims Progress" which is one of a
number of five existing copies.
The Baptists of the city, to show their
appreciation OF Mr.. Bayard's gifts, have
prepared an elaborae program for nexl
Monday evening at the Second Baptist
Church. The gifts are for the Baptists
of Wilmington, but the Second Church
being the oldest Baptist institution in
the city will have the future custody OF
these treasures. Mr.. Bayard, the donor
will present them and make al
address, and Rev. r. b. Cook
d. d. will receive them in behal
of Wilmington Baptists. Rev. f. f
Briggs will receive them in behalf o
The Second Church. Dr. Weston, o.
Grocer Theological Seminary, is alsC
expected to be present, and has prom.
ised to deliver an address.
