 The Ruble company was greeted by fair sized audience last night in the presentation of "The Three Mus keteers." This is a very difficult piece to present on small stage and is usually only attempted by compan- ies making this sole production and only in large cities, but those who witnessed the performance last night were highly pleased with it. The Ruble company is certainly much superior to the average repertoire companies.

 The Santa Fe Railroad company is about to convert the locomotives be- tween Needles and Seligman into oil burners. Tuesday locomotive and crew were sent over this division to locate oil stations, and the big stor- age tanks will be put in as soon as possible after the report is sent in. The use of oil on the desert gives ad- ded comfort to the people who have to travel, as it will enable them to keep the car windows open without getting covered with cinder and grit. The company will also sprinkle the road bed with oil and keep down the fine dust that makes travelling weari- some to the tourist.--Kingman Miner
 When the s. F., P. S P. train which arrived here yesterday morning, left Ash Fork the night before it was laden with a man who was himself laden with booze and a big revolver. He was disposed to let the other pas sengers know that he was aboard. He became involved in a quarrel with couple of men and made motion to unlimber his artillery. Conductor McGrath sat down on him, took his gun away from him and unloaded it. He led him into another part of the car and surrounded him with Mexi- cans, who could not understand En- glish and so would be unlikely to be offended at his language. He made signs to them by punching them in the ribs. He kept up the racket and kept everybody in the car awake all night. Shortly before the train reached Phenix he fell asleep, and it was as hard to awaken him when the train came to a standstill as it had been to keep him quiet.-Republican
