Dick Cane, former employee of the Arizona & New Mexico Railroad company, who met with the mls1or- tune of having a foot crushed off at Lordsburg some months ago, returned this week from an eastern trip. While away he had a new foot and part of a leg built, and he now gets around about as lively and as grace fully as before the accident. A strange thing about the accident was the fact that it was absolutely free

WAR AT GRAHAM.
A Wife Turns a Shot Gun Loose
 at Her Husband.


 About ten days ago Frank Crites' wife, who lives at Solomonville, left her husband, took her two children and went to her mothers home at Graham, where she has since lived. Since she left him MT. Critics rented a house for his wife but she refused to occupy it. After Mrs. Critics left her husband Frank determined to have the children.
 Yesterday he drove to Stafford and accompanied by Mrs. D. M. Green drove to Graham for the purpose of getting them. He had a shot gun in the buggy and when he arrived at the honse where his wife lives both he and Mrs. Green got out, leaving the shot gun in the buggy. Mrs. Critics re- fused to give the children up and Frank grabbed the little boy and start ed to run. His wife followed him so closely that he could not get in the buggy but continued to run. She got the gun and turned both barrels loose but she says she did not shoot at him on account of the baby but shot in the air.
 Mrs. Critics and Mrs. Green walked to Stafford, wading the river, and brought the child. A little later Mrs. Crates came to town to consult with lawer. with a view of recovering pos session of the child.
 Later in the afternoon mutual friends got the two together and they made up their differences and went to the home of D. M. Green.
 It is said that Green had been drink ing and the two men had a row, it is reported, because Mrs. Green went to Graham. Critics struck Green which seemed to settle the. row until little later Green went to the buggy and got Crites' shot gun. Mrs. Green, and MT. and Mrs. Critics where out beh md the house. Mrs. Gree saw he hus- band and warned Critics, but almost too late, for just as he jumped through the door Green fired, several shot striking Critics in the left arm near the shoulder. Had he been one second slower he would have been killed. Green is now under arrest.-Safford Guardian.

It seems to be a sure thing that Clifton will soon have connection with the Santa Fe railroad, either through Silver City, Deming, or from Socorro via the Mogollons and Frisco valley. The Fl Paso Herald is authority for the statement that the Santa Fe will build from Socorro to Clifton, and adds that "The Clifton people will thus not only be able to get their supply of coal from the new Socorro fields, but they will have a new and shorter out let to the east" This line would be of the greatest possible advantage 10 Clifton, as it would shorten the time to the east by at least a day, would give us cheap fuel, would open up a new and vast mineral section which would then be tributary to Clifton, and would make this the great smelt- ing point of the southwest. The char ter for the proposed road was taken out last spring, but no material de- velopments have resulted since then

CYCLONE BILL. /"
Who Is Elected Justice of the Peace
 in Clifton Precinct?
From the Arizonian,

From the Arizonian,
 A strange story of freak voting comes from Clifton, the great mining camp in the eastern part of Graham county. It seems that w. E. Beck, Esq.,, alias Cyclone Bill, was the can dinate for justice of the peace, and the result showed that he had a con- siderable following. A few of his SUD- porters voted for W. E. Beck, but great ma ajority of them voted straight for Cyclone Bill" The judges of the election knew no person who answer ed to that name and threw all of them out, leaving MT. Beck with very few votes, hardly a respectable minority. His opponent was Judge Anthony Wright, familiarly known as Dad" Wright. Many of Judge Wright's $ supporters voted for Dad" Wright, and the election board had no diff culty in coming to the conclusion that these were meant for Anthony Wright and they were so counted. This gave MT. Wright large majority over MT. Beck. Should the votes cast for "Cy- clone Billo have been counted for MT. Beck he would have been elected, and should the votes cast for "Dad" Wright have been thrown out, then he would have ma jority. MT. Beck is hot and threatens all kinds of con- tests and things. The final outcome of this strange result of the freak of votes is awaited with bated breath.
 A complication of this sort would have been avoided by the board of supervisors printing the names of the precinct officers on the tickets. This would be the only effective way of heading off the smart man and pre- venting his exasperating complica tions.
 The above is pure fiction from start to finish. A representative of the ERA called on Ben Crawford, judge of election; Elbie Smith, inspector, and Doane Merrill, one of the clerks, and they all state positively that every vote cast for Cyclone Bill was tallied for w. E. Beck. One vote was cast for Tornado William, and it was also counted for MT Beck. Some one had devised a sheet of cardboard with the names of w. E. Beck and Toll Bell cut through, so that when it laid in the proper place on the ticket, a voter who could not write could express his wishes in regard to local officers by L the cardboard. In one instance of this kind the cardboard was placed upside down on the ticket, which com pelled the judges to turn the ticket upside down in order to read it. MT. Beck's name then came in the blank line opposite For Constable," and MT. Bells name opposite the words "For Justice of the Peace" The judges and inspectors counted the bal lot for MT. Beck for justice of the peace. One of these cardboard sheets was voted with the ballot, and yet re- mains in the hands of the election board. Anthony Wright received 191 votes, Abraham Boyles 127 and w. E. Beck PA, hence it will be seen that MT. Beck was not in the same class as Dad Wright, but only lacked three votes of tieing MT. Boyles.

New Mexico papers predict that Fl Paso is to become a second Kansas ward New Mexico that Kansas City, Missouri, does to Kansas. They pro- claim that steps ought to be taken to prevent it, but probably never heard the story of the bull that tried to stop the railroad train.-El Paso Herald.

TWO WALTERS.
Difference Between Negro Servers
In Northern and Southern Hotels.

Difference Between Negro Servers
In Northern and Southern Hotels.
If you have Travelled, you must certain
ly have noticed the wide difference be-
tween negro walters of southern and
northern hotels.
In the north the waiter is stiff, rigid
and supercilious. He takes your order
condescendingly and briskly betakes him
self to the culinary regions with the
same. He stands with folded arms and
scornful expression at some little dis
tance, watching, however, for an oppor-
tunity to leap forward and pretend to an
ticipate your wants.
And when he brings your change you
are certain to note that il is laid upon a
plate and that one particular quarter is
noticeably detached from its fellows.
In the south the waiter shuiiles back to
the kitchen and returns with your meal,
to which he has added some little deli
cacy of his own choosing. He glides
about you, leans tenderly over you, his
black face flied with anxiety for fear
some error of omission or commission
may occur.
He hangs about you with fathcrly in
terest. He places the dishes before you
with almost a caressing touch, and when
you are ready to depart he tremblingly,
hopefully, lingeringly hands you your hat.
! In the white brown depths Of his eyes
! there e. cute appeal, not unmixed with
! expectation.
Who but case hardened drummer or
the travelling representative Of n frater-
nal organization could resist that appeal?
You need not fear to give him n quar-
ter-joy seldom kills outright-but you
can be sure that dime will produce a
wide grin and an exaggerated bow.
But most people consider it worth a
| quarter to see that mouth widen into a
smile which sets It's owners ears back
an inch and causes his eyes to project
like those Of a crawling crab.-St. Loui.

TooMBS AND STEPHENS.
A Friendship That Was of Great Use
to the Former.

DR.. T. II. Orme told me several good
stories about our old time statesmen.
Among other anecdotes and incidents the
doctor gave me some piquant reminis-
cences of Toombs and Stephens.
Toombs always tried to impress people
with the belief that his genius made him
equal TO any emergency. Even when
he studied hard or availed himself of the
labor Of others he encouraged the idea
that his most splendid efforts were the
result of the inspiration of the moment,
entirely offhand, without any special prep
aration for the occasion.
Once, when a very important debate
was going on in the federal congress,
Toombs made a magnificent speech which
attracted everybody's attention.
1t was not only an eloquent speech, but
it was remarkable for its mastery array
of facts and figures and its convincing ar
guments.
"You must have devoted considerable
time to its preparation" said one of the
statesmen's admirers.
"Well, | gave about two hours to 1t, "
Toombs replied, with a careless, indiffer-
ent air.
Somebody repeated this to Stephens in
the presence of several congressman.
1.-TWO hoursr' he exclaimed, somewhat
irritably. Prepared that speech in two
hours, did he? l spent two weeks on it
That's all l care to say"
Stephens had patiently and laboriously
collected the statistics and Toombs hat
merely added the hourishes
The two great Georgians attended ma
tional Democratic convention shortly be
fore the war, and Stephens was confined
to his bed just when he could least affort
to be laid up.
After an important caucus Toombs Wis
tied his friend and sat down by his bed
side.
"Aleck," he said, ''it was proposed t
nominate you for vice president, but
told them that you did not want the ofiic
and would decline the nomination, S
they took the other man."
"Toombs." replied the invalid, "whel

its building of an argument on pre-

consisting of ten companies of sixty men each armed with riot shotguns, were as signed to active service in preserving or der in the continuance of the street car strike. Their duties consisted in patroling the streets. doing guard duty at the various power houses and car sheds.
 The present intention of the police com missioner is not to detail any of this force to ride upon the cars. Such of the posse as are not doing patrol duty at the power houses, car sheds and other points where danger is imminent, will be held in reserve at the station houses.
 The work of subpoenaeing citizens con- tinued unnterruptedly today. Sunday was in consequence a day of unrest for the re- sponsible business man who had so far es- capped the dreaded subpoenaes and was uH- able to enjoy the Sabbath in the bosom of his family in peace and contentment. Sheriff Pohlman had intended to issue subpoenaes for the members of the First regiment, N. G. M, as individuals not as an organiza- tion, but the officials changed their minds, and today it was announced that the soldier boys would not be sworn in There were 22S additional deputies sworn in Saturday and about 200 today, which, with the 265 already sworn in, gives the sheriff total force of 900 men to assign to active duty in response to the call issued yesterday by President Hawes of the police board.

St. Louis, June 3.-A riot of small propor- tions, during the progress of which boy was fatally shot, and dynamite explosion marred what would otherwise have been an uneventful Sabbath. As car on the Tower Grove line of the Transit company was passing the corner of Twelfth and Calhoun streets a crowd of strike sympa- thizers began throwing rocks at it. An un- known man leaned from one of the win dows of the car and fired shot from revolver toward the unruly crowd. The bullet sped over the heads of the mob and lodged in the breast of Peter Frank, a 16-year-old boy, who was sitting in the doorway of his fathers house, an inter- ested spectator of the demonstration. A detachment of police dispersed the rioters and carried young Frank to the city hos pital. The physicians say the wound will prove fatal.
 At a late hour this afternoon an explo- sion of dynamite shattered the cable con- duit and switches in the Olive street line at the intersection of Marilad and Boyle avenues. No one was injured, but traffic on that end of the line had to be suspend ed. There is no clue to the perpetrators. More than the usual quota of police was furnished today for the protection of pas sengers and crews, and as result the number of cars on the various lines of the Transit company was materially increased. Cars on the following lines were operated: Delmar avenue, Page avenue, Spalding avenue, Compton Heights. Choteau ave- nue, California avenue, Tower Grove, Gran davenue. Easton avenue, Cass ave- nue, Olive street. Broadway, Fourth street, Sixth street, Northern, Central and Union lines.

IMPORTANT WORK
 56TH CONGRESS Record of the First Session is Now Practically Closed MEMBERS HAVE BEEN BUSY Among the Important Measures Are Fi- nanciaI Act, Porto Rican Legisla-
 tion and House Passage of
 Nicaraguan Canal Bill.
MEMBERS HAVE BEEN BUSY

Washington, June 3.-The-recor of the first session of the Fifty-sixth congress is now practically closed, and 1t Is possible to survey the important work it has ac- complished during the last six months It has been a busy congress, the busiest, ac- cording to veteran officials, in many years. In one respect the work has been less ex- citing than that of the proceeding con- gress, which covered the dramatic period when war was declared against Spain, and also the period of reconstruction and treaty-making with Spain following the successful close of the war. But in work actually accomplished and started toward accomplishment the record of the present session stands well in comparison with the most energetic congresses.
 Our new territorial possessions have re- ceived much attention, and while there has been no definite action as to the Philie- pines or Cuba, a form of government and a means of raising revenue has been pro- yided for Porto Rico and a comprehensive territorial form of government has been given to Hawaii.
 The financial act has made important changes in the laws relating to the parity of metals the bonded indebtedness, na- tional banks and the security of the treas- ury by a gold reserve.
 Nicaragua Canal Bill
 The Nicaraguan canal bill was passed by the house and is on the calendar of the senate ready for attention when congress reconvenes.
 The antitrust bill is similarly advanced. The antitrust constitutional amendment has 3 defeat recorded against it.
 The Pacific cable measure has passed the senate and is awaiting final action in the house. The exclusion of Brigham H. Rob- erts from a seat in the house because of his polygamous status, the refusal of the governor of Pennsylvania, and the sensa- tional charges, investigation and develop ments in the senate in the case of MT. Clark of Montana have added some ex- citing personal phases to the session. h. vestigations have been prolific, including the inquiry into the Occur d'Alene mining riots in Idaho the various inquiries on polygamous practices growing out of the Roberts case and more recently the sen- ate investigation of the postal and other irregularities in Cuba.
 The total of appropriations cannot yet he stated with exactness, as five bills are pending, but it is approximately $70o,000,O0O for the session.
