 A party of nine railroad men came in from the Junction Monday evening to go to work for the new Greene road. They left the next day for Sonora and are now out about 12 miles.
 The O. K. stable here has found that Its livery business has grown so large as to justify them in getting more stock and enlarging their sheds. Man ager McKim cannot supply the de- mand for teams for the. Cananeas and Bisbee. He hopes to facilitate matters by adding more animals and buggies to his already large livery business.
 A dispute over a game of monte We'd nesday night came near ending in a serious affair. John Hall beat another man over the head with six shooter, which made several ugly wounds.

 E. A. Mcfarland came near meeting with serious accident Monday even- ing. While in Sonora with Scott White in the Greene buggy, the horses be- came unmanageable and in turning the buggy Mir. Mcfarland was thrown out on the ground. He escaped with only a few bruises, but it was feared that he was seriously injured.
 The Greene Consolidated Copper company's traction engine was given a trial Sunday, which proved to be quite a success. It took some little time to get up the first steam, but after getting up steam the engineer moved the en- zine quite easily. The engine started out alone and circled around several times on this side and ir Naco, Sonora. Three wagons were afterwards coupled on her and was pulled backwards and forwards all over the country. Quite crowd stood in front of the Greene office watching it's first trial. Another train load of traction wagons and an engine came in Wednesday. The Greene people now have at Naco two traction engines and twelve cars, which will be all these people will receive. These engines and wagons will be put in service in very short time. Each engine will pull three wagons, and while one train is at the Naco end the other will be at Cananea, so as to have both of them going and coming at the same time.

K. hitching post, and had hardly left it when it was stolen by some one. The doctor soon missed it and found the tea n hitched near Curry & Co.'s store. He took it back to the stable and tied it up, when it was stolen again. The doctor, with several par ties, started out to look for the team and to catch the party with it. After long search the team was found over in Sonora with the party who stole it. The man tried to escape, but was caught and brought back across the | line. Another party was near the buggy at the time but escaped. In the buggy was found lot of clothing and food, and it could be easily seen that it was the intention of these parties to steal the buggy and team, get it across the line and then go through the town, hold it up, and make break for SoEo- ra. But one of the men was captured and he was taken to Tombstone Thurs day to await the action of the next grand jury. The people of Naco have been looking for holdup for some time and several officers have been watching the gambling resorts every
