Electric Alarms for Street Crossings

Electric Alarms for Street Crossings
A new system of alarm for street
crossings has been adopted by some OF
the western roads which would be q
great benefit to Ell Paso If put in oper-
alton here.
Some of our crossings here are very
dangerous, especially the Mesa avenue
! crossing, where there is q constant
crossing of the tracks, and the danger
of being run down by train is very
great. -rr
The adoption of the alarm system
would obviate the danger and be Of
great benefit to the railroad companies.
The alarm system is described as fol-
lows: ~
A neat pole painted white is erected
at the side of the street near the rail-
road crossing and to this pole is at
tached an electric bell about eight or
ten inches in diameter. The bell ts In
closed In q neat cast iron case of open
work for protection. Along the rail-
road track at good distance on either
side of the crossings is planted an iron
post or case in which is inclosed an
electric apparatus connecting at this
point with the rails and through the
| rails to the bell on the post at the
crossing. The rails, to insure better
circuit, are connected at the joints
with wire.
When the train approaches the
crossing and comes opposite the post
along the track, electric connection Ia
made and the bell at the crossing ahead
begins to tap regularly as hammer
ring until the train is all past. At night
. red light is displayed on top of the
post as an, additional warning of dan.

Decision On SCa1ping.

The ticket scalpers had another
round with the police court this morn
ing came out victorious. They escap
ed by scratch" to use q sporting
phrase, but received q lecture and 9
warning from Recorder Allen thA'
should prove wholesome in the future
The offense this time did not consist
in selling tickets. The charge was dis
orderly conduct in q public street. The
city attempted to show by officer Per-
ret, who made the arrest and by sew
eral Witnesses, that the defendants had
annoyed the public to such an extent as
to be considered disorderly conduct.
The testimony was that the two defen-
dants, together with about dozen
other ticket scalpers, had lined up di-
rectly in front of the steps at the Uni
on passenger station that they
were very clamorous in their efforts to
buy railroad tickets from the excur-
sionists who came to town yesterday.
Officer Perrett warned them repeated
ly that they most not go upon the steps
or upon the station platform. The two
prisoners had been more vociferous
than the others and were arrested.
the close of the case, Recorder Allen
took the ground that railroad tickets
are common property and may be bar
tered from hand to hand. He believes
a person has as much right to sell the
unused half of q railroad ticket he has
bought as he has to sell a horse that
he owns. The right to sell naturally
carries with it the right to buy. But
the recorder held that the buying or
soliciting may be conducted in such an
offensive manner as to be an annoyance
to the travelling public and as to con-
stitute violation of the ordinance.
He warned the defendants, and through
them the scalpers of Galveston gener-
ally, that they must respect the orders
of the officer in charge at the station,
and that if any of them come before
him again on similar charge he will
impose fine.-Ex.

 The party started from Naco Satur- day morning. Just as they were leav- ing the interpreter was arrested upon some charge. The guards continued their way, taking Heron with them. Clayton remained with the inter- preter and became engaged in in al- tercation with the officials in charge, who proceeded to arrest him. He de- clared he would not submit to arrest, and when one of the officers took hold Of his bridle rein he ordered him to drop it. Upon refusal Clayton fired, killing the man. He immediately crossed the line tclose at hand amid shower of bullets, and entered house, where he died in a very short time from the effects of wounds re- ceived during his retreat.
 Next upon the programme three of Herrons cowboy friends saddled up and started in pursuit of the guards who were travelling toward Nogales with Heron. They overlook the party about fifteen miles out, killed two of the three guards, pur the other one to flight and released Heron, who returned to Naco with them.
 Excitement ran high for time at Naco. A number of armed cowboys gathered on the American side, and the Mexican guards were reinforced by body of twenty five gendarmes under command of Colonel Roster litzski. But when the two men Heron and York-left there Monday everything had quieted down.

The Naco Trouble.

Wednesday Mir. James Heron, and his friend MT. T. 1, York Of Huachu- ca, visited Nogales, Mr. Heron com ing to lay before the American consul the particulars of the recent bloody tragedy at and near Naco, and to ask the good offices of the consulate in adjusting the difficulty. MT. Albert Morawetz, United States vice-consul,
 in charge, at Nogales, Sonora, took tue statement of Mir. Heron. and for warded the same to Washington.
 The account of the matter as given by MT. Heron is about as follows: Some time ago Mexican customs off cals at La Morita, siezed half dozen horses, a part in a brand numbering about seventy, which MT. Heron bought from Mir. Y. Morgan The allegation of the officials was that the animals were smuggled. MT. Her ron claimed that if the six siezed were smuggled the entire baud came with
 in the same category. He went to Arizpe and there secured an order from the judge of the district for a release of the stock. Even upon that order, as condition precedent to re- lease aud delivery, the Mexican off cials demanded from Heron repay ment of the amount expended in caring for the animals This Heron refused. It was finally arranged that Heron should come to Nogales, So-

Yesterday morning Theodore Schact was found dead in his bed at the lodging house of T. F.. Brown, on Morley avenue. An empty strychnine phial, some grains of the undissolved poison in an empty glass, and the constricted condition of his muscles told too well the cause of his self-in. flicted death. Deceased was a me- chanical engineer by trade, and had been employed at Santa Ro- salia, Duquesne, and elsewhere. It is but couple of months since he re. turned from visit in his native land Sweden
 At 4:50 Monday morning the con- struction train ran over man who was lying asleep on the track down near the round house. His name was Mar cello Soto. When the engineer saw the man lying within the tracks he made every effort to stop, but was unable to do so. Judge Mix impanelled coro- ner's jury, which rendered verdict of accidental death.
 Sunday evening word was brought to town that an unknown man had been found hanging to a tree at a point beyond the head of the Mari. posa canon, about fourteen miles from Ncgales Judge Mix summoned a coroner's jury and went to the place that night, holding an inquest Mon- day morning The body had evident ly hung where found a couple of months. He was hung by long cot. ton cloth and his knees touched the ground. A wagon track made when the track was soft passed close to the spot. The remains were partially clad, and roll of blankets lay near. No clue to the mans identity or the me2nS of his death could be found. A grave was dug and the remains buried

The Cobre Grande Deal.

Lately the newspapers of Arizona have devoted no little space to the Cobre Grande deal. involving a large amount of vefy valuable copper min ing property in the Cananea mount aims, much of which, with the real facts in view. seems purely imaginary
 MT. J. Henry Wood, secretary of the company, who visited Nogales Wednesday, informed THE OASIS that there is no truth whatever in the published statement that MT. J. H. Costello of Buffalo, New York. had failed to protect the option he had taken upon controlling interest in the stock of the company. MT. Wood states that the true situation is about as follows:
 Early in July MT. Costello advanced ten thousand dollars, gold, to cover the June payroll of the company MT. Costello advanced this money with an that he should be given an option upon seventy-fve per cent of the stock of tbe company at $250 per share--or $375,00O for the three fourths of the stock involved. From this S375, 900 was to be deducted this payment of sl0,O00 and such other specified payments as Mir. Costello obligated himself to make, to keep the business of the company floating, and pay the company's indebtedness at that time.
 In accordance with the foregoing outlined agreement Mir Costello was given the stipulated option upon the stock, which option and the stock were placed in escrow in the Phoenix National bank. Since that option was signed Mr Costello has freed the con pany from all debt, bought new machinery for the mines and obligated himself to buy more, which has been Ordereds in part, and orders are iA corrse of preparation for the rest. This option will not expire for several weeks, and tO say that MT. Costello will not take up the option at tue time designated, is saying something which no one knows but MT. Costello himself As he is iu the east, and has made known his intentions in the matter to no one, it was erroneous for anyone. whomsoever, to say that the gentleman will not protect his bond. In the meantime MT. Wood, his re- presentative on the ground, is going along, carrying out the instructions left by Mir. Costello and meeting all obligations when due.
