Miss Harriette Carpenter, daughter
OF the late Sam Carpenter, bids fair to
become an accomplished writer. She
had an interesting frontier sketch in
the last Enterprise.
The Eagle drug mercantile com
pAnys black team took one OF their
frequent notions 70 run away last
Tuesday and accomplished their sb-
ject. The wagon is in the repair shop,
and James NcCabe. who was driving,
just escaped the hospital.
Judge NJ. j. Egan was in the city
Saturday, en route to Santa Fe, to at
tend the meeting Of the territorial
board Of equalization, hoping to keep
the Arizona s. New Mexico road,
which is a narrow gauge road, from
being assessed as high as some of the
standard gauge roads in the territory.
The stock 10 the Orion mining com
pauy, recently organized in Ell Paso to
purchase and work the Dundee mine
above here, was largely over sub
scribed. There were one or two in
Lordsburg who secured some Of the
stock, because they went after it in
time, but there were quite a number
of Lordsburgers who wanted to buy
some Of the stock who did not get in
in time.
The Silver City public schools were
established in 1875. and for several
years we're the only public school
buildings OF any consequence in the
territory. AT that day they took first
rank which position they have ever
since maintained, and have been
largely instrumental in attracting de-
sirable residents and advancing the
general prosperity OF the town.--En-
terprise.
Mr.. and hrs. Chas Holt we're In the
city Monday, en- route from Clifton to
San Jose, California, where they in.
tend to make their future home.
Mrs. Holt has turned The Clifton post
ONCE over TO her successor, who has
been appointed, but who has not yet
received his commission, who will run
the Office as her deputy Till his COM
mission arrives.
o. r. Smyth has been enjoying a
large sized carbuncle on the back Of
his neck. These things have been Gu.
joyed since the time OF job, aud as a
general thing are more enjoyed by the
friends Of the people who wear them
than by those who carry them around.
The LIBERAL is glad to know that
Mr.. Smyth has about recovered from
the effects Of the c~arbuncle.
Judge H. B. Ha milton, formerly
judge OF the Fifth district Of New
Mexico, with headquarters at Socorro,
but now a practising attorney at FL
Paso, and a large ~stockholdet In the
Orion mining company, was up from
FL Paso this week, watching Superin-
tendent Clifford start work on the
Dundee. 1t is probable that Judge
Hamilton will make frequent trips to
L%ordsburg 10 the future, as he is
greatly interested 10 the mineral de-
%velcpment OF this section Of the
country.
The saddest duty ever falling to the
Liberal comes ia the necessity of
announcing the death OF Mrs. Micheal
A. Leahy, which was caused by septic
fever, last Sunday morning, after but
a few days illness. Mrs. Leahy was a
daughter OF the late A. A. Collins, Of
Fort Thomas, Arizona. She was mar
nied In early life and left a widow,
with q child, May, now just budding
into w%omanhood. At Fort Thomas
she met and married NJ. A. Leahy,
and bore him i've children, Jerome,
Eddie, Della, Leo, and the baby boy,
two weeks old for whom she gave up
her life. Death is always sad, but
when death takes away the mother OF
such a family he does his most sad
and cruel act. Mrs. Leahy was con-
scious her death was near, and took a
last farewell OF her children and
friends the night before she died.
The funeral was held Monday after
noon, aud was conducted by Father
Zimmerman, Of Clifton, and was the
largest funeral evor hald In to-n
