An insane man by the name of

en- route to the asylum to which he
had been committed by Probate
Judge Bostwick. He seemed to be
in good health but was probably a
victim of heart trouble. His death
occurred on the train near Wallis
station on the S. P.-Range Ne,oS.

cattle this week which they had
recently sold. All of these gentle
men assert that there is plenty of
stock for sale in these parts. They
also state that the ranges have not
looked better for many years, and
cattle are in splendid condition.
There is every indication that the
rainy season will soon set in and
the outlook for cattlemen has never
been brighter. Range Ne,us.
When D. A. LIE Baron returned
from Mesa City last week, he left
a honey tank, made of galvanized
iron, sitting in his wagon box. The
wagon cover, quilt and some ar
ticles of clothing he had purchased
in Mesa were stored in the tank.
Friday morning about ten o'clock
the goods in the tank took fire
from the heat of the sun and were
burned up before the fire could be
eXtinguished. This illustrates how
easy it is to originate fires during
the summer heat of this section.

ATE A HUMAN HEART.
Kansas Man Til ought 1t was Beef Heart
and Is Now Insane.

A warrant will be issued this week
upon information furnished by DR.
Cave, chief medical examiner fo1
the Modern Tonties, for the arrest
of Alexander Johnson, charging
him with lunacy.
Johnson was the former janitor
for DR.. Cave, and about eighteen
months ago discovered a heart
wrapped in brown paper, which he
supposed was beef heart, in the
doctors Office, and took it home
and ate part of it. He became ill
and sent for DR.. Cave. When the
latter learned the negro had eaten
the heart, he informed him that il
was that of man he.had that day
dissected. Since then Johnson
has been acting queerly, and now
he positively states that the dead
man appears to him regularly at
night with his left hand extended,
holding the heart, and points at
him with the right in a threaten
ing manner.-St. Louis Globe Demo

ALTHOUGH the excursion of the
Elks to Stafford on the 18th Of last
May and the excursion of the peo-
pie of this valley to Globe on the
Fourth have caused considerable
criticism, or at least the actions of
some of the people during these
excursions have, yet they have
brought the people~oer''the two
counties closeor together than any
tbi,sng else could have done. The
people have become better acqua
lnted with each other and many
new friendships have been formed
that will last forever. Not only
from social standpoint have they
proved an advantage but from q
business standpoint the benefits are
hard to calculate.

they were last on account of the

Investigation showed that Mr..

pistol was lying by his side. From
the nature of the wounds inflicted

was brought out that Harwell was

caused numerous and bitter quar-

on for some time until they had

q poorer cause,

ABOUT the rankest piece of sore
headed politics we have witnessed
yet is the Prescott Courier and Tue
son Star advocating the division OF
Arizona. The idea of making two
Territories of Arizona is about
what we should expect to origin
ate in the Territorial Insane Asy-
lum. We have just reached that
stage where we are in position
to demand statehood, something
we have all been working and ask
ing for for years. There are only
two reasons for wanting the Ter
ritory divided. One is to prevent
'sfAtshopd and the other to create
more oifices. Can it be possible
thar the editors of the Star and
Courier have not been sincere in
advocating statehood? Or have
they been sincere in this and are
they now 'groveling after some
petty Office?
