 1 The Hull in the building boom which | the current croaker predicted some months ago has not materialized. On | the contrary there are undoubtedly
 more buildings going up in Globe today l than ever before. Men of first class 1 business qualifications and long ex- l perience on the frontier are leading the
 building move in Globe, and that is the best pointer a person can get as to the 1 prospects and stability of a camp. Just
 keep building, gentlemen, the noise of the hammer does not disturb us in the | least.-Times.
 Manager Charles Dudley last week i selected Dr. w. F. Lindley as surgeon of the Arizona Copper Smelling com pany. The company already has near l ly one hundred men on the pay roll
 and as is customary the company has 1 selected a physician and surgeon for | the entire body of employees. The se- | lection was a wise one and well de-'
 served. In fact the company may well ! be congratulated on securing the ser i vices of so competent a physician and : surgeon as Dr. Lindley.-Safford Ari- ] zonian.

 Word has been received at the local i land office of a bold outrage at Stafford,
 says the Tucson Citizen. Some time
 ago Special Agent Holsinger seized 937 cords of wood that had been uulaW- i fully cut from public lands MT TIo!- singer sold the wood at auction and 1t | was bought by H. J. Harvey for S2, 2,571 Mir Harvey had the wood piled on cars
 ready for shipment. Two nights ago some incendiary set fire to two cars of ] this wood which were still standing on j the side track at Stafford. The wood
 and the two cars were burned The i fire spread to three other cars that were loaded with coke and burned them also, cars, coke and all. There is no clue as to the identity of the incen-
 diaries.
 1 Within the last year four murders i have been committed in this town and ! vicinity These were Domingo, nlur dered here on Eighth street last De- i cember; James R. Lassator, in May; | the Mexican boy found dead at Dry | lake few days ago, and the Mexican who was murdered here Tuesday even ! ing of this week. All these crimes i have apparently been premeditated, planned and carried out with success, ] leaving very few if any traces leading 1 to the discovery Of the perpetrators l This is deplorably and aIarmingly fre- quent, and demands of the officers of i the law and all good citizens still more 1 vigilant, united and determined efforts i in the pursuit and punishment of des- perate criminals.-Safford Arizonian. i On last Thursday while the 10-year-
 old daughter of MT. J. c. Wanslee, who i lives about a mile north of Stafford, l was on her way home from town and | while making a short cut from the | road through a field, a Mexican at l tempted to criminally assault her, i says the Stafford Arfzonian. She was 1 then within a short distance of the | house and her cries had the effect of ! frightening her assailant away. The | little girl, however, kept her wits and was enabled to give quite an accurate i description of the man. From the in
 telligent description given it seems al most certain that it was the same indi- viduaI who perpetrated the murder on i last Tuesday evening, and for whom 1 large force of deputies are now SCOUT i ing the country. After the attempt on l the child he again took to the brush, | and up to the time of going to press l had not been apprehended.
