Newspaper men often wonder how

would act as his subscribers do. That is,
have no specified time for paying and
how long these men would stand sending

quest and no attention whatever paid to
it. Our bills must be cash or at the most
60 days which has generally, since the
raise in paper, been reducad to 30 days.
Now We nor no other publisher can do
business in this way. TO send out pa

The high school nine of Oil City came
up last Wednesday afternoon and helped
the Tionesta club to dedicate their new
base ball grounds. The game was little
too lop-sided to be real interesting,
though the playing was ofa rather high
order for the first of the season, and indi-
Gates that Tionesta has about the best
nine now that she has had for several
years. The Oil City boys took their de-
feat gracefully and were much gratifed
at the cordiality of their reception and
treatment here. The game was called at
the end of the sixth inning owing to the
rain, when the score stood IL to in favor
of Tionesta. With the fine grounds and
number of handy fellows with bali and
bat which Tionesta now holds, we should
sec some nice games this season.

A Mysterious Murder.

Word was brought into Clifton Mon- day night that the body of a man had been fouud between the Coronado stage station and Guthrie. Judge Wright and Billy Hamilton took the train Tuesday and visited the scene for the purpose of holding an informal inquest on the remains. The body was so badly decomposed that the nationality of the dead man could not be ascertained. It was apparent that death must have occurred some six weeks or two months previous. The head had become de- tached from the trunk and was found some twenty feet away. It Was sup posed to have been carried there by coyotes. A bullet hole was found through the clothing and an other through the hip. It was impos- sible to judge as to the age of the vic tim, but there were no gray hairs in the head The hair was black and about two inches long. The corpse was dressed in hob-nailed shoes and blue oVeralls, blue sweater, with duck blouse under sweater and pair of old drawers.
 The officers are of the opinion that deceased was one of the gang who killed McGeehan and Mcbride about six weeks ago near where the body was found. It will be remembered that witnesses testified that three MeXicaps were loafng around the camp and were supposed to be the ores who committed the murder. It was also established beyond doubt that one of them was wounded in the fight. The body found is supposed to be that of the wounded robber. It is thought that he was taken to the mountains and left by the other two and before dying made his way to the place where the body was found. One of the murderers was ap- prehended and given sentence of twenty years in the penitentiary. One of the other two was recognized at Sil- yer City but has not as yet been appre- hended.
 If this be the correct theory, then the second one of the murderers met his just deserts, and if not correct then it is quite evident that murder was committed, but so long ago that it now seems impossible to trace the matter up. The officers are pretty certain that the body was not that of an Amer ican, as the head was too small. They also seem to be of the opinion that the body was dragged to where it was found, from farther up the mountains, -- Clifton Copper Era.

Of Interest to StOCkmen.

The general land office at Washing ton has issued an order which is of in terest to all those persons who have stock interests in the vicinity of stock reserves in New Mexico and Arizona. In all applications for permits for graz ing stock on the reserves it is agreed by the applicant that no stock shall be corralled within 300 yards of any run ming stream or living stream. The re- cent order calls special attention to this clause and orders that all inspect OTIS exercise care in it's enforcement. The rule applies not ouly to the pres ent season, but to the future. The officers of the reserve are also expressly directed to see that no stock is allowed on the reserve without permits. -Citi- zen.

A BlSBft INDUSTRY.
TOwnSite locations One of the Pads
 Of Our Citizens.

All communities of any importance have some one characteristic industry that raises them above the level of the commonplace Bisbee is not behind in this particular and fl it keeps up it's lick on the line on which it is now en- gagged it will soon become noted thrqugheut the country as the boss townsite promoter of the United States It is poor day now when new town site scheme is not matched in this pros porous, hustling town. The industry was first launched by the' laying out of the townSite of Naco, and its quick growth and prosperity opened the eyes of our business people to the possibil- ities of the new industry. Since then there have been three new townsites laid out, fourth is in process of incu- bation, and how many more will bob up there is' no telling. One of these townsites covers Q considerable area of ground at what is known as "the switch,n and the lots are held at the moderate figure of Sl 900 for a 50xl00 foot lot Two other embryonic towns are costly located alongside of each other on the international line at the point where the new railroad will cross into Sonora. These future towns, be- ing out in the wilderness, as it were, far from the refining influences of i'forty-rodn and the crap table, are not quite so high in their demands for acreage.
 A prominnnt business man with his hat on his off ear, came tetering into prominent resort few days ago and wanted to engage men to sink num- Der of 10foot holes at Don Luis station. As he is not a bloodthirsty man, and the excavations wanted are not of the usual dimensions of grave, it can hardly be supposed that he wants to start a private cemetery. Neither has an alarming amount of minerel been found in that neighborhood, so it can hardly be supposed that new mining camp has been started. The only reasonable explanation is that new townsite is shortly to be launched.
 There is yet large amount of va, cant land within fifty miles of Bisbee, and it is entirely due to lack of rustling qualities if every one of our citizens is not the individual owner of town of their own,

HIS POSITION,
Kean St. Charles, Member of the Legislature, is Opposed to the
 Bullion Tax Law.

Kean St. Charles, legislative mem Der elect from Mohaye dounty, defines his position on several matters in his paper, the Mineral Wealth:
 We are opposed and will vote against in the legislature, first, last and all the time d bullion tax; removal of the prison from Yuma; division of Yavapai county; exemption of new rail. roads from taxation. A tax on bullion is double tax and would be slap at the mining industry that needs all the encouragement it can get under the present conditions. When you tax all Improvements on 8 mine, including the Waterbury watch carried by the super intendent and any money that may be left over after operating expenses are paid, the mine is getting it's full benefit of taxation and should not be compelled to carry double load.
 There is only one thing that can be said in favor of the removal of the ter ritorial prison from Yuma and that Is it's close proximity to California, there by giving to California q market that belongs to Arizona. It will cost large sum of money to remove the prison to some interior point, and the territory is not prepared atthis time to stand the expense. After Arizona becomes a state and the population has doubled it will be time enough to remove the pen itentiary.
 Exempting railroads from taxation and taxing the prospector's burro may seem all right to republicans and gold democrats, but not to us. Railrood property and interests are protected in Arizona the same as other interests and they should pay their proportion of taxes and we have no doubt but what they are perfectly willing to.
 Yavapai county is doing very we'll as it is and it would only increase the bur den of taxation of it's citizens to sup port another county governmenC.

CLIFTON AND MORENGl.
Interesting Items of News CulIed from Graham County Exchanges.

Constable Hamilton arrested two MeXicans at Lordsburg last week who were suspected of the murder of Me- Geehan and Mcbride who were killed at Guthrie in September last. One of the men drew his time check on the night of the murder and tried then to cash it in camp. He was not again seen until recently, when he and com panion showed up at Lordsburg. His companion called at the office of Street. CT & Lusk with the time check, which was then more than two months old.
 McGeehan and McBride mentioned above were saloon keepers at Guthrie during the construction of the Morenci Southern last September, and conduct ed their business in . tent. Two Mex jeans cut into the tent while the men were asleep and murdered them both. It is to be hoped that the officers have located the right parties

 Sheriff Ben R. Clark arrested last week in the Eagle Creek country a young man named Sam Tennel who was wanted for stealing horses from the Indians on the San Carlos reserva- tioR. Tennel was taken to Clifton where he was bound over to the next grand jury. Three years ago this same young man was arrested with two of his brothers at Ash Springs and band of stolen Indian horses recovered from Esm. The two brothers were then sent to the penitentiary but Sam was turned loose. He makes no denial of the crime charged against him and will probably land in Yuma next spring.
