Jim Rainey or any of the party that
went to the MogCllon mountains after
Harry Tracy have any friends in Phoe-
nix they should organize a relief expe-
dition at once. The men are far re-
moved from newspapers or telegraph
lines, and unless some messenger in
forms them that Tracy is dead they
will probably stay up in the hills the
rest of their natural lives. Besides. its
time for them to come in and claim the
reward.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING-Tha
Journal Miner says w. w. Elliott. a
miner located on Banning creek. while
returning to his cabin Monday evening
took refuge alongside of q large boul-
der during the progress of the storm
He remembered hearing Il tremendous
clap of thunder and then for an instant
saw flash of fire. when he fell over.
and it was over two hours before he
recovered consciousness. In speaking
of his experience to friends, he says
that after awakening it was fully an
hour before he could conveniently han
die his limbs to permit of walking. and
in addition to this he was very sick at
the stomach. His theory of the matter
is that the lightning bolt hit a boulder
near b. with full force. and that he
received but 4 fash from the main
current when il broke.

4 VERY SMALL WORLD.-Thoug
the world seems large to a great many
people, since the advent of the railroad
and telegraph lines it has become 4
very diminutive affair. 1t is almost
impossible for a person to get clear
away from his acquaintances and sue
cessfully lose himself among strangers
And no matter where one travels, he
viii frequently meet others who have
been there, too. These thoughts We're
suggested yesterday when it was
Tucson is a son-in-law of Mr.. Eddy.
on whose farm Tracy was killed. and
the telegraph dispatches were TO him
almost like letter from home. Later
in the day w. c. Maddox of this city
was heard to say that he had known
Mckinney. Tracy's California imita:cr.
for the last twenty years He was an
obscure character, thou. he always
had an ambition to hn known as q
