Traffic Is Heavy.

The $. r. r. < F. railroad reports an unusually heavy freight business at present. In fact it is so heavy that it taxes the motive power of the road to its utmost to move it. The company has just purchased and received an engine from the Southern California road which will be rebuilt in the Pres cott shops and will be placed in ser vice on the Phenix and Eastern road where the grade is light. The engine is small one and is not adapted to work on the heavy mountain grades. The three new engines ordered from the Brookes locomotive works several months ago are due to leave Dunkirk about October 20. They will be used in passenger service exclusively as their boilers are larger, and cODse- quently contain greater steam capac- ity, and the drive wheels are much larger than those now in use on the road making them adapted to faster running as we'll as possessing good pulling capacity as well. All the en- zines on the road are from the Brookes works. The new ones have several late improvements.

Run Over By Train.

When the south bound train was nearing Phenix on Sunday morning Engineer Harry Elliott and Fireman Miller noticed an object lying between the rails and lengthwise with them Engineer Elliott immediately shut off steam and applied the brakes, al though he could not distinguish what the object was. Before the train could be brought to stand still how ever the entire train had passed over the object and on going back the maDgled remains of a man were found. The body was crushed beyond recog nitiOn other than that the hair and the color of the skin indicated that it was Mexican. One of the turymeu detected the odor of alcohol that prob ably came from broken bottle and the saturation of his clothes with the liquor. The theory Is that he had drank to dr0wsiuess and laid down on the track.
 The Republican says that the PhcuiN police report having heard shots in that direction about that time of night and it is not impossible that the man was murdered in a drunken TOW and his body left on the track. But its condition when found was such that bullet wounds could not have been found. especially if they were in the head.

Norton Is Promoted.

Ever since the death of Capt. c. \. Sterry, solicitor for the Santa Fe rail road, T. J. Norton has been acting in the capacity of solicitor. Official an nouncement has just been made of his permanent appointment to the posi- tion made vacant by the death of Captain Sterry. Mr. Norton has made an excellent record during his connec- tion with the company and the head of the law department was quick 10 perceive and recognize his abilities and give him the promotion he has earned. At the time of the death of his superior officer Mr. Norton was as sistant solicitor with headquarters at Prescott, and his many friends here will no doubt be pleased to learn of hIs promotion. Mr. Norton has ap- pointed U. T. Clotfelter, former as sistant in the general office, to the position of assistant solicitor with headquarters in Prescott Mir. ClOt- telter has been here on one or two oc- casions with MT. Norton. He is a bright, energetic and able young at torney. He will be assisted in terri torial work by L. II. Chalmers, whose headquarters are in Phenix and who has been connected with the law de partment of the s. r. P. X P. railroad for several years.
 Mr Norton's jurisdiction extends from Albuquerque to Los Angeles and San Francisco. Alr Norton is not yet forty years old, and the four as sistants he has appointed are ca sh be- tween thirty and forty years old, the others being E. F. Milliken and Pual Burks in Los Angeles and Horace D. Pillsbury in San Francisco.

The Hearst Excursion.

Hearst's manager, announcing the probability. of the pOstponement or abandonment of the proposed excursion to Arizona and New Mexico by W. k. Hearst and party. wired that if it is possible to get ten people to make the trip he would advise their coming. Before leaving tor Phenix this morning he received another wire stating it was of the utmost importance that Congress man David \. De ArmOnd of Missouri should form one of the party. as he is a leader of the democrats in the house The telegram further stated that he was about on the point of ac- cepting the invitation and that if he were urged by AriZona's delegate to come it was thought he might do sO-
 Whether the party makes the trip now or not will depend on Mir. De Ar moud. If he accepts. the party will
 cave Chicago as scheduled on the evening of October II. Col. Wilson Las not only wired Mir. De Armond, urging him to join the party, but has requested Delegate Rodey of New Mexico to do the same. The fate of the excursion will be known in few days.

Arizona Charlie" Imagines Him. self to Be in the Employ of
 the Above Company.

l One of the strangest characters in the southwest, or for that matter in any part of the country, is Arizona | Charlie. as the trainmen call him,
 who inagines that he is in the employ of the Southern Pacific company as a track walker. For five years now this queer guardian of the rails has tramp ed back and forth over the long | tretch of desert between Fl Paso and
 Indio, and the highest salaried officer or the most valued employe of the | Southern Pacific system could not possibly show more concern for the safety of it's .trains and passengers than does Arizona Charlie. He walks every step of the six hundred miles, and not a foot of the track but he notes carefully, and it is said his wig ilance has averted numerous accidents where wrecks might have occurred on account of broken rails or washouts.
 Though not employed by the company he thoroughly believes that he Is, and his hallucination is further encOur- aged by a remittance of money which is paid to him at the end of his 'di- vision" Who provides this money is not yet certainly known, but it is supposed to be sent by a wealthy brother living in San Francisco. He is frequently seen by the trainmen, who all have a cherry word for the old man he is past sixty and often try to prevail upon him to ride. He always refuses, saying that by doing so a bad piece of track might be over
 looked, and if an accident occurred the company would blame him for it. He always carries his blankets, tin can, some ground coffee, and other food, besides a canteen of water. Sometimes he necessarily passes close to a hobo camp, and the "bo's" hold him up for his supplies, and then he fares badly until he can reach a sec ton house, where there is always a welcome and a fresh supply of food and water for the old man. He has often been invited to put up for the night in section houses, but has always refused. He has not slept in house for over five years. A few days ago the crew of freight train. when near ing MaricOpa, saw gang of hoboes in the act of robbing Arizona Charlie of his supplies. It happened that the train had to be stopped for a few min
 utes on account of a hot box and the brakemen chased the hobos away and restored the old mans grub to him.
 What this strange mans name is or who his connections are has never been learned. He dresses poorly, looks like the average tramp, but through the glamour of his wierd, un- natural imagination, there is the shadow of past when the mental wis ion was impaired and the few words he passes are not of the ignorant or vicious. He is harmless and his em
 ployment serves to furnish the means of his enjoyment, which seems to be the desire to do good. Whether he accompiishes anything is not consid- cred. His motives are unselfish at any rate, and to be faithful to his supposed employers is his constant watchword. Yuma Sentinel.

Arizona Product.

Mrs. J. l.. Munds, today, received samples of some choice fruit from the ranch of David Scott, and from that of her mother, Mrs. M. G.

The fruit will be taken to Phenix tomorrow to be subjected to presenrvative operation SO that they will keep until needed for exhibition next year. In this connection it might be stated for the benefit of new corners to the territory that apples from Haskell S kirwaggen's ranch, were awarded the highest honors os any on exhibition at the Chicago eS position in 1898.

Several days ago he wrote a letter to Secretary Loeb. enclosing his photograph and requesting an inter view with the president The officers were immediately notified to watch for the man. Yesterday, Elliott ap peared near the entrance to the Grace Reformed church where the president attended services. He made an effort 10 speak to the president then but failed as he was foiled by the secret service men. At ten o'clock this morning he entered the vestibule of the white house, inquiring for Presi- dent Roosevelt. The door keepers told him to go away and return next month. He smiled, walked away, but returned later, and became violent when Officer Cissell placed him under arrest.

Thought It Was Secret.

A we'll known uptown man, lover Of fine horse flesh, saw fine buggy horse which he thought he wanted. He located the owner and asked the price. "One hundred dollars" was the reply. After looking the animal over and trying her speed he conelud, ed it was a good trade. and wrote out a check for the amount. The next day he found that the mare was blind. but this did not hinder her speed or detract from her general appearance. He drove the animal for several weeks and succeeded in attracting the atten- tion of another lover of horses, who made a proposal to buy.
 "Well," said the owner, 'I gave sl0O for her, but I'll let you have her for sl25 if you want to buy
 After looking her over and taking a short ride behind her the man decided to buy. He paid over the money and took the mare. When the animal was nnharnessed the first thug she did was to run against a post; then, by way of emphasizing the fact that she was blind she fell over a barrel. The next day the buyer came back with blood in hi eye.
 "Say, you know that mare you sold me?'' he began. Well, she's stone blind"
 ''I know it, " replied her past own CT, with an easy air.
 'fWell, you didn't say anything to me about il, |" said the purchaser, his face red with anger.
 ''Well. I'll tell you," replied the other; that fellow who sold her to me didn't tell me about it, and l just concluded he didn't want it known. '' Philadelphia Ledger.

Arizona Exhibit.

A meeting of the Worlds Fail Commission. at which all the mem bers except Hon. B. A. Packard were present, was held yesterday. routine work being transacted, and some fur. ther arrangements for the St. Loui: exhibit made. The business of thi: meeting was completed yesterday, and last night Mir. Leatherwood and MT. St. Claire left for Tucson, while this morning Hon. A. J. Doran left for the northern part of the territory.
 Mir. Leatherwood states that the ex- hibit for his part of the territory, embracing Pinal. Graham and Yuma counties, is now nearly all collected at the various centers. It is to be shipped to Tucson within a short time for arrangement and packing for the long trip to St. Louis.
 MT. Doran expects to have the ex- hibit from his part of the territory collected for classification by Novem- Der l.
 One thing that was arranged yester- day, was for an exhibit relating to the educational institutions of the territory. This will largely consist of photographs The matter has been placed in the hanis of Judge \. G. Layton superintendent of public in- struction. He will get photographs of all the school buildings in the cities of the territory, and of many of the rural schools. These will be arranged and labled, and will make very nice display, besides being useful in dis polling the idea that enlightenment in Arizona is at low ebb.
 There will also be exhibits of some of the work done in the schools by the pupils. It will be hard matter to arrange an exhibit of this, but Sup erintendent Layton will collect all the available material The work in modelling and drawing can be shown very well.-Gazette.

Close of the DeIls.

Granite Dells resort, after a very successful season, most gratifying to Its management, Ed Shumate, was closed on Sunday for the season with an interesting programme. Mir: Shu- mate is the first person who has been able to make a complete success of this resort and he has accomplished it in most admirable manner. To start in with he fitted the place in good shape and provided such forms of en- tertainment as the public demanded. An important factor in its success also has been the excellent eating house which he has maintained in connection with it.
 le third of series of games of base ball between the Whipple and Iron King teams was played and as each had won game great interest wss centered in yesterdays game, as it decided the merits of the respective teams. That is in one sense it did, in another it did not, as the losing team of yesterday might be the win ming one in the next game. The teams are very evenly matched as has been shown by the scores, that of yesterday $ deciding game, being five to four in favor of the Whipples. It is said to have been the best played game of the season, and the score would indi- cate as much. The line up was as follows:
 Whipple. e.-Feldeamp, catcher; Jop- lin, pitcher; Shearer, short stop; Baker, first base; Hunter, second base; Kinsey, third base; Bauer, left field; Dahlenburg, center field; Shel- ton right field.
 Iron King-Cole, catcher; Neahoff. pitcher; Shidler, short stop; Ander son, first base; DemaTy, second base :; Adkisson, third base; Lynch, left field; Blake, center field; Henry, right field.
 The Iron King team made three scores in the fifth inning and one in the ninth. The Whipples made two in the first, one in the fourth and two in the fifth and did not play their ninth.
