Ed 0'Rourke, who has been brakinQ
on this division OF the Southern Pacific
for a couple Of years or so, has re.

MI. and Mrs.. Allen veitch came
down from Clifton Wednesday, en-
route to the coast for a month. Mr..

change will help restore his wasted
strength.
G. f. Dunnegan has received bis
commission as postmaster at Hachita,

office arrived the FIRST Of the week.
1t is probable that orders will o be
issued to start the ofice going, and
then Hachita will be In It.
e. g. Kinyon, who for the past week
or so has been editing the Clifton Era,
was in town Saturday en- route TO
Solomonvllle. He found the west
bound passenger train so late that it
would not connect with the ella val
tey road at Bowie, and so returned TO

ing across the country to Solomon
vile. Mr.. Kinyon has been appoint
ed postmaster at Solomonville, and
expects to resign the position of edi-
tor at Clifton and take possession Of
the Solomonville ~postonlce on the
first of next month which will be to.
morrow.
When the additional trains are put
on the Southern Pacific next month
che road expects there will be an To-
crease Of passenger tranlc. The
people living along the road hope the
increase will not be so large as to
make the trains as heavy al they now
are. They think that with lighter
trains they will be on time mere often.
When the trains are late, as they
often have been recently the ~lateness
throws out OF gear the routine Of all
who have to do business with the
trains and those who are interested in
them, which includes pretty much
everybody In town.
At. the recent term Of court at
Solomonville Chacon was sentenced to

stop the row, and was acquitted.

ing his step.daughter, at Duncan, was
convicted, and his wife, the child's
mother, was CONVICTED. of assisting
him.
The most awful killing In the bis
tory Of Clifton occurred last Sunday
night. Gabriel Valdez has worked
for the Arizona copper company for
some twenty years, IN the smelter,
and was one Of the foremen. Sunday
night he was asleep, at homei with
his wife by his side, when some hend
in human shape put a charge OF dyna
mite under his house and exploited 1t.
Both were instantly killed, the woman
being blown into small pieces and the
mans head being blown of. The
house was a wreck. No trace Of the
perpetrators Of this horrible affair has
been discovered, aud no reason Is
known why any person should COM
NIT such an awful deed. Valdes was
a good citizen, and liked by all who
knew him.
The registration Of voters was dn-
ished last Saturday night, at six
o'clock, according to law. There were
14O names registered in Lordsburg,

that is that the chairman Of the re-
cent democratic convention OF this
county lie not a legal voter. He is a
native Of Canada, aud when ques'
toned by the registration board
would not say he had been natural
lied, o Would be produce his nat
urallzation papers, and so the board
refused to register him. At STEMS
