Patrick Ward, of Ward & Courtney, contractors for the construction of the G. v., G. & N. railroad, and H. C.. Ross, who is chstgs of the work, were here for several days this week. Mir. Ross informed us thst their head con- struction camp Is now located four miles below Gilson's and the second camp on Aliso creek, two miles from the San Carlos river They have very good force, mostly white men, and now that the heat has abated, better progress should be made. Withis week the advance camp will be moved to Gilson's and grading begun in both directions and four miles of grade completed.
 Mr. McGowas, in charge of the Mid land Construction outfit, completed the heavy work four miles this side of San Carlos and moved up to the summit sast of Globe, last Saturday. Mr. McGowan is now in charge of the work at the summit He is experienced in rock work, and with en increased force will push work on the long out moro more rapidly. It is hard ground and will require considerable blasting. It will take st least two mouths longer to finish the cut through the summit, and the track should reach there by the middle of October ot the first of No. ysmber.

THE RAILROAD.
-,s,- T ..tsyi f.rseT { President Garland Reports Progress h eohstfuction.

Wm. Garland, prssidcnt of the Gill
 Valley, Globe & Northern railroad com. psny, accompanied by Engineer Chase, arrived last Saturday, their chief busi. ness being in regard to the right-of-way through the upper end of town. There appears to be some objection among property owners on the west side oi upper Broad street to the railroad com. ing down the street, and Mr. Garland has had under consideration the fsas. ability of bringing his road down the bank of the creek in the rear of the property in question. The route is practicable, but it would require that property owners give the railroad oom- pany a strip along the creek st least 100 feet in width and a tract of land for depot sits above the site originally selected.
 The change of route would also in- volve large additional expense to the railroad company for the protection of its road from high water. 4 tsrrito- rial law givss the railroad the right to pass along and through any Strsst, and in the event of its being built down Broad street, the company would be under the necessity of protecting its roadbsd from possible floods, and which we believe would give almost equal protection to property Abutting on the creek. We do not know what conclu- sion Mir. Garland has reached, but he is disposed to meet every reasonable objection advanced by property owners.
 As to the construction of the road bed, tho excessivs' heat has hindsred rapid work but fair progress has been made on the grade, which has been completed along the San Carlos river The bridge crew is making hsadway. All the piers across the Gila river have been driven and the bridge seat com pleted or two piers and begun on the third. The piling over the San Carlos river was finished last Monday. ". H. Atkins. iu charge of bridge con- structiop, stated that the bridges would be completed August 10, but Mr. Gar land is of the opinion that the work will require from five to ten days long or. As soon as the bridges are finished track laying on this side of San Carlos will begin and progress at the rate of about half a mile e day. The track w,ll be laid to some point between Gill sons and the summit, esst of Globe, hy October 1.

Sylvester Gilson, who was here last Friday, is happy over an increased ws- ter supply, a matter of consequence, as Gilson's is ah important station on the Globe and San Carlos road, where all teams water, and the comfort of man and beast is looked to.

Mr. Gilson and his estimsble wife are the ouly white persons, not employees of the govern ment, permitted to stay on the Indian reservation, and where they have lived for nearly eighteen years. But if any obligation has been incurred as between the government and them, it is due to Mir. and Mrs. Gilson as they have TO- sided there all these years without the least friction with the agency attaches or the Indians, and have maintained the station, to the benefit of the Indians and the government, and without aid.

CROSSED THE DIVIDE.
Death of Pete Gabriel, ex.Sheriff of Pima County, and a Noted Character.

FImd $Ounty, ana a NOteo ~Edrdcter.
 Word reached Globe last Saturday of the death of Pete Gabriel on Friday night, July 29, at his cabin at the old Monitor mine, near the head of Miner al crock. Tom Desmond, who was with him when he died. notified the people at Dripping Springs, and with 2 com panion went back to prepare tue body for burial. A rough coffin was made at SutherlAad's and the burial doubtless took place Saturday evening. The de- ceased had been sick week, and was alone until the night before be died, when Desmond arrived. We did not learn the nature of his illness, but probably the end came from the break ing down of the human engine which had seen so much hard service.
 Pete Gabriel was . noted character in Southeastern Arizona, and psrticu. lsrly in Pinal county, where he lived the greater portion of twenty-two years He was born in Prussia, but came to the United States when a child, lived in New York for some time and then came west, and settled in California. He came to Arizona from Los Angeles about the year 1876 and located at Florence. In 1878, when Globe was in Pinal county, Gabriel was elected sheriff and held the office for three terms, until 1884, and served fourth term fsw years later. He was the best sheriff that Pinal county ever had. In those days hs was in the prime of life, possessed of q fine phyaiqus and an iron constitution, and alert of mind and body. A man of great bravery, bo never avoided an enemy or shirked duty, even when such q course might have been iusti6able. He was several times severely wounded, and it is said, very nearly lost his life in Los Angeles, in difficulty over a personal matter. His opponent shot him oyer the tran som of door, the charge of shot en tsring his breast. He WAS a deputy

sheriff in Los Angeles and made capa.
 ble officer, and after coming to Flor
 sace, Afixcns, hs became an aspirant
 for sheriff and was elected on tho Dem.
 ooratic ticket in 1878.
 At thst snrly day, when everybody
 packed a gun and life was held chesply
 on the frontier, 1t required man as a peace officer of unfinching courage to keep down the lswless element and maintain a semblance of order, and Gabriel soon proved his fitness for; ths job. He was 8 sleuth- hound in pur. suit, and criminals soon learned to have . wholesome fear of him. There was no man whc could pull gun quicker, or shoot with more deadly accuracy than he. An incident which hap psnsd while he was sheriff of Pinal county will serve to illustrate his bray cry. A Mexican desperate who had torrorized Cochise and Pima counties, and for whom warrants had been is- sued, fled to Florence and was har- bored by lawlesa Mexicans. He made his brag that Pete Gabriel could not take him. The sheriff, armed with e sixshooter, started after him at once, and found him in front of Mexican saloon, just as he had mounted his horse to escape. Gabriel twice com handed him to stop, but tho Mexican instead of complying, drew his pistol. Before he could use it, a ball from the sheriff's revolver perforated his body and struck the horse in the head, kill ing both.
 Gabriel's most memorable encounter was with Joe Phy, at Florence, in May 1888. Pby also had reputation as fighter, end had considerable follow ing in Florence, unfriendly to Gabriel, some of whom, it is alleged, encouraged the quarrel. It was generally snder- stood that when the two men met there would be trouble. About dusk on the afternoon of the shooting, Gabriel was seen to enter the Tunnel saloon. He had been drinking heavily and it is sup posed that Phy thought the time oppor- tune to settle tho score with his enemy, and followed Gabriel up. As Phy en- tered the screen door of tho saloon his hand was on his pistol. His appear Ance had an effect upon Gabriel that was almost electrical In en instant he had wheeled and with gun in hand ad- vanced to meet Phy. Both realized that it was to be a death struggle. They circlad around the saloon, firing rapidly and at close range. Jack Keat- ing, proprietor of the saloon, and Peter R. Brady Jr., were the only spectators, and they shielded thenselYss as best they could from the deadly missiles. The aim of both com batsnts was accu- rate, each receiving three serious wounds, when Phy staggered ont to the sidewalk, where Gabriel fired the last shot which took effect in Phys leg be- low the hip. The bono WAS shattered and he fell to the sidewalk, mortally wounded, having been shot in the shoulder, side, stomach, and thigh. Phy died st one o'clock tho next morn ing. Gabriels wounds were serious, and it was question for several days whether be would survive.
 Pete Gabriel was twice married and had two children by each wife, all liv- ing. His second wife was Miss Wrat- ten, sister to Mrs. N. W. Aylesworth, of Globe. Mrs. Gabriel and her two daughters, the oldest Is years of age, live in Sacramento, Cal.

these ends, it was then decided by the
A. A. U. to charge the trivial sum of

TALLY cover this outlay.
1t had been recognized for a long
time by many of the leading billiard
amateurs of America that it was de-
sirahle to have some national body con-
nected with billiards for the purposes
designated. But the labor, detail and
expense Of properly organizing ma
tional body for a comparatively small
number of men, many of whom were
too young to bear much personal ex-
pense in the matter, made any such
scheme impracticable as an independ-
ent billiard organization. For this rea-
son alone the decision of the A. A. u.
was particularly welcomed by many of
the leading amateurs who had given
the subject any thought or attention.
On the other hand very violent opposi-
tion was Immediately created in the
minds of other leading amateurs; at
first based largely upon total miscon-
ception of the intent of the movement
and unfortunately greatly intensified
by some newspaper articles that ap-
peared-evidently written either by
prejudiced Iens or by men not them
selves familiar with the real objects of
the movement. The registration fee
alone was used in some instances as a
handle to delude the amateur billiard
public into the view that it was a
money making scheme on the part of

Up to this time there has never been
