WASHINGTON. Dec. AT a confer

gibility of Representative-elect Roberts

mitted to take the oath Of Office.
This decision was arrived at oy
those present without dissenting
voice. Representative Tayler OF ONO
who will have charge of the matter IN
the house, explained after the confer
ence had been adjourned that this pro
ceeding does not involve ''preJudg.
ing" of the case, but irrespective OF

THE NEWS OF
 WICKENBURG

Wi1kcnburg. AriZ., March 29-(Spe- cial Correspondence of The Republi- can.)-What at first appeared to be q very serious, if not fatal, accident oc- cured here on Center street this morning. Henry Burns, superintend- eEt Of the Brill ranch had been in com pany with severa! vaQUeros breaking in some bronco colts for the annual roundup, and while they were passing along Center street this morning with several of these flying machines, the girth of the saddle of the horse Burns was riding became loose and as he was after one of the running colts, he was thrown to the ground and struck heav- fly on his head and shoulders. He was unconscious when taken up by willing hands and carried into the rooms of the mining exchange on Center street, where he regained conscious ness and in his courageous way claimed he was not hurt. He had, however, sustained 9 severe scalp wound, and fearing further injuries not apparent to n ministering friends, telegram was sent tcl Dr. John Dennitt at Con gress Junction, who will be here on the evening train. Meanwhile Burns is resting comfortably and the host of friends about here are in hopes hs will fully and rapidly recover.

 It is reported that the new Santa Cruz county boundary line takes in part of Cochise county. The act de- fning the boundaries of the new coun- ty does net mention Cochise county, but from description it is not known whether the line takes in slice of Cochise or not. The section relating to the boundaries reads as follows:
