The injury was at tended to by pr. Swetman.
 THE RELATED VOTERS.-The En- tccprise last night accused District At torney Edwards of intending to deprive a large number of voters of the right of suffrage by deciding that the names of those brought in after the close of the period of registratian could not be entered upon the great register. MT. Edwards has decided nothing. He has construed the law and that is all. The construction is plain and so is the law.
 THE OIL WELL.-The drilling ma chinery of the Comeback Oil company has now reached the depth of 135 feet and the formation while still hard, IS appreciably softer and better progress is being made. The committee is still engaged in soliciting funds for the con- tinuation of the work, which ought not to be given up at this stage. It is alto gether likely that enough money will be raised to continue it, but people who ought to be interested are not reporting as promptly as the committee would like to see them. In fact it is a sort of a mutual enterprise in which these who can afford to should offer help without the asking.
 A CONVENIENT ARRANGEMENT. Some of the democratic papers lately published a story involving the hold ing of a Spanish republican meeting in saloon. It was shown that the clubs meetings were not within a hundred feet of saloon. The story had the good effect though of awakening an in terest in the subject of the proximity of political clubs to saloons, and it was brought out that the favorite club room of the Spanish democratic club adjoins a saloon in which one of the democratic candidates is interested. There is noth- ing but a door between the club room and the saloon and that is seldom shut and never locked.
 AWAKENED BY A CAT.-Robert Hudson, who lives near Kyrene. was in town yesterday with a very sore mouth. A few nights ago while he was asleep a cat jumped through a window nearby upon his cot One of the paws of the eat was stuck into his mouth The claws were unsheathed and in working order. and they were worked to such an extent that when MT. Hudson got awake his mouth was filled with blood. As soon as he discovered what had happened to him he feared poison He filled his mouth with salt to stop the bleeding and then with tobacco .o counteract the effect of any poison that might have been introduced into his mouth. He believes the eat had % nightmare.
 SUPREME COURT CLERK.-Shelby NJ. Cullom has been appointed clerk Of the supreme court to succeed James z. Cox, who was compelled by ll-health to resign after a service of about a year Mir Cox left the territory last July for his former home in Ohio. He was suf- fering from consumption, but he was hopeful of recovery and expected to return to the city in the fall. His con- dition grew worse instead of better, and it became evident that he would never be able to resume his duties. Mr Gull lom served for four years as assistant collector of internal revenue for the district of New Mexico and Arizona. He resigned that position in the fall. Mir. Cullom has the honor of being d nephew of Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom Of Illinois. though he does not owe his present good fortune to that fact.
 FROLICKING FIREMEN.- Phoenix a fire and play harder than anybody when there is no fire. Monday night there will be no fire it is hoped. for the firemen have set that date and the Fremen's hall as the place Tor frolic. The members of the Five Points fire company recently organized are to be initiated into the mysteries of the par ent organization. and what they will learn on that night will be a plenty if credit can be given the word of some unfortunates that have already been up against it. After the ghost dance there will be a barbecue and the menu will contain everything from raw dog to real sausage. The process of mastica- ton will be aided by up-to-date irriga- cants will be comprehensive and CO., pious.
