bank robbery and murder at

20 Change Boundary Line.

A bill was introduced this week
by Representative Sutherland of
Utah, which provides that ali that
portion of Arizona lying north of
the Colorado river be annexed to
the state of Utah. The bill con-
tains the proviso that the state Of
Utah shall within one year after
the enactment by congress mani
fest its approval by legislative
act accepting said lands as part
OF the state and establish or ex-
tend eoun y government over the
SAM.
'l'nis has manifesuy grown out
OF Il former effort on the part of
Utah to secure that portion of the
territory Of Arizona lying north of
the Colorado river when that state
sent a comm etee before the Ari-
zona legislature to confer with
committee to be appointed by the
Arizona body to confer upon the
advisibiity Of such a move.
This was during the session Of
tbc twentieth legislature and the
proposition was promptly turned
1awn by the people OF Arizona
wh) were entirely satisfied with
the present boundaries OF the ter
ritorv and insisted that no change
Whatever be made in the boundary.
No committee was appointed and
no encouragement whatever was
given the representatives Of the
state.
Delegate Smith who is always
alert to the welfare Of Arizona is
actively opposed to this move and
is TAXI g decided steps to prevent
this bill from receiving any favor
before the committee on territories.

The G. II. Wrecking crew in
charge Of Henry Z. Borcherding,
foreman Of the car department.
returned to Ell Paso yesterday
afternoon from the recent awful
disaster at Maxon siding, says the
FL Paso AaoS, bringing with them
The wrecked engine and the huge
steam derrick which was employed
in clearing up the debris.
The engine was not torn to
pieces as badly as was supposed
considering what it passed through,
though it will have to be built
over in some parts.
The running gear stood the or
dea! fairly well, but the boiler, cab
and tank are badly demolished
from the intense heat that pre-.
vailed while the cars were in
flames. The wrecked locomotive,
the express safe and other objects
were the cynosure of many eyes in
the G. II. yards yesterday after
noon and the kodak man was there
in force.
There are many remarkable finds
reported by the wrecking crew.
The front trucks of the engine had
barely left the rails and were
found on the dump but little
damaged Cars had been burned
to ashes between the tender and
engine, which had become detach-
ed. The sheet iron of the tender
had been warped out of shape by
a car which had burned on top Of
it.
The pilot was intact, the engine
having fallen on its side and slid
den along on the rocks. The
bones gathered together flled two
small boxes, which were buried at
Alpine. They weighed thirty-four
pounds.
The fore arm Of one poor victim
was the only part of a skeleton
upon which any flesh clung. In
most instances the passengers who
had not been rescued had been en-
tirely consumed by the frey flames
and the hot Goals, the odor Of
burning flesh being felt at one in
stance only.
Human frames were plainly to
be seen ia tie ashes, but they were
mingled with the parts Of so many
others that the number lost could
not be determined by counting
them.
The skeleton of somebody's
child, perhaps one of the Riddel
children, was the most distinct of
any.

s0LOM0NvILLE SPORTS.
Draws Large Crowds Frsm DiT, rent
Portions of Coun v.


The horse race which has been
the chief topic Of conversation in
sporting circles for month past
came off last Saturday at Solomo :
vile An exceedingly lar e
crowd Of people was in attendance
and although the day was quite
disagreeable on account of wind
and dust, all waited patiently until
late in the afternoon for the big
race.
AT four O'Clock the horses were
tapped off and few seconds later
thousands Of dollars had changed
hands on the result, The Colora-
do horse won ly, Crawford"
seeming to be clearly out-classed.
1t is claimed that the Colorado
horse could easily have won by
TO feet. He was held back almost
from the starting point. Near the
outcome "Crawtord,' gained on
him considerably on account of the
big horse being held in check by
his rider While we have not
heard any one claim that "Craw
ford" can beat the stranger under
any condition yet some claim that
his tra ok was in such deplorable
condition that he gave OUT when
only hal way through. The big
race was matched for $500 but this
was small per cent of the whole
amount of betting done.
Another race was matched be
tween the Ely mare and another
horse brought in by the same
people. After scoring" for about
an hour the horses were tapped off
and the Ely mare came through,
but the other horse did not leave
the star'i < point. 1t was claimed
that the horse "balkcd" and re-
fused to run. In the evening how.
ever the owners offered t. match
this same horse against "Crawtord"
for $1,000. The main bet Of $3.50
was paid but all outside bets were
declared off.
On Monday the bet Of $1,000 and
as much more as they desired TO
make it, was called by the friends
Of "Crawtord" but the Colorado
people did not seem TO have the
nerve to make their "blutf good
and consequently no race was
matched.
THE DANCE
In the evening ba was given
in the court house and all who
were fortunate enough 10 attend
had an excellent time. The music
was fine and the young people of
Solomonville exerted themselves
to make it pleasant for all visitors
Quite number Of Satfordites were
in attendance.
THE BALL GAME
On Sunday afternoon a ball
game was played between Clifton
and nine composed OF 5 lomon-
vile and Satf rd players, with
BaImer, of San Carlos, pitching.
The game was an interesting one
and greatly enjoyed by the large
crowd that Witnessed 1t. Some eX-
cellent plays were made on both
sides. A great many errors were
also made, as is witnessed by the
large number of runs made on both
sides. We were unable to gel the
score by innings but he lnAl re-
suit stood IL to l8 in favor Of
Clifton.
MONDAY ) RACES.
On Monday another large crowd
went to Solomonville to see the
colt races, purse Of sou with
the entrance fees added having
been offered or the winner.
The race was dandy and admir-
ed by all who witnessed it. Four
colts were entered and three OF
them crossed the score "neck-and-
neck f" John Epley's tilley won
the prize. Burt Frye's colt was
second, Guardner's colt third and
j esus Ciras colt was last. A
large amount of outside betting
