 Quite an exciting game Of base ball
 was played on the Clifton grounds Sunday last between "picked up'
 team and the regular Mexican team. It was close contested game, but the l Clifton boys were in the lead during
 the entire game. The final result was s to II in favor of Clifton. When things were getting pretty quiet d
 tistic bout was matched between d l Mexican and ball player. The NeXi- can came out on the short end, thereby giving Clifton two victories in the same game.
 Another depiorable tragedy oc- cured at Metcalf Saturday night last caused by combination O jealou9ly and bug juice. Juan de Leon. q well known Mexican of that section, stab
 bed Carlos Regarlardo to death, then slashed his wife and his daughter. a child. with the same weapon. The
 woman is badly hurt. but will prob ably recover. Leon was very drunk at the time, but managed to evade the officers that night, and on Sunday morning. still under the influence of liquor, left the camp and took to the hills. ana has not yet been arrested.
 Leon is an old wood hauler. and is familiar with every trail within many
 miles of the camp, hence he may be able to elude the vigilence of the officers for sometime.

The AlYOrd Trial.

The trial of Burt AlvOrd, former peace officer of Cochise county. for be-
 ing an accomplice in robbing trains in
 COchise some three years ago, has at
 tracted widespread interest through
 out this section. Alvord was indicted
 by the last United States grand jury
 on six counts for being implicated in holding up the U. $. mails. Two of these cases were tried at Tombstone last week, the iuries failing to agree on a verdict In the first case tried
 the jury stood five for acquittal and seven for conviction. In the second trial, that of the COchise hold-up. the
 jury stood ten for conviction and two
 for acquittal or this jury nine were from Clifton and Morenci, one from
 Pinal county, and two from Cochise county. After many ballots it was
 definitely decided that the jury could
 not agree, and the jury was dismissed.
 w. A. Pitt, Of Clifton, was foreman of
 the jury. and after it had been dis missed Mir. Pitt swOre out warrants against J. H. James and James FitZ- gerald, the two jurymen from Cochise county, charging them with impeding and obstructing the due a6 ministra-
 tiOn of justice. They were arrested by deputy U. $. marshal, and were given hearing before U. 5. Commissioner
 Emanuel. The cases were dis missed. They are doubtless
 the two jurymen who refused
 to agree on a verdict of guilty. Their arrest created quite an excitement in
 Tombstone and Cochise county. where
 Alvord has many friends. At one
 time communication was sent from the jury to the court, stating that some of the jurymen refused 10 accept
 the testimony of the cOnvict- who ap- pcared as witnesses against Alvord. Judge Doane sent for the jury and ir- formed them in no uncertain language
 that it rested with the court, and not with the jury, to say what testimony should or should not be accepted. It
 is said that the two jurymeu from 1 Cochise county are Old-time friends Of
 Alvord's, which probably accounts for their obstinacy.
 Alvord is now in jail, so far being
 unable to give the 5000 bond required
 for his appearance at the next term Of l the U. s. court. He will probably give the bond as he has many friends who are assisting him in his trouble.
 Billy Stiles, who was also indicted and skipped out, was arrested at Doug las and brought back, and is now in jail From reports brought home by jury men and others who have been attend. , ing court, Cochise county is full of peo- pie who are not in sympathy with the prosecution Of criminals, and who use their best endeavors to make sympathy for the offenders and in other ways lend all the aid possible to get them out of their trouble.

Gus insect and at intervals ever since

son put on a set Of heavy underclothing
which she took from a trunk where IL

daughter. Miss Pearl Gibson. and at the
same time put her hand on her side. As
she did so she had another severe pain a
few inches below the first. She and her
daughter removed her clothing as soon
as possible and a fiat insect having nu-
merous legs and a crooked beak and COW
cred with brown and white spots fell to
the floor. A physician who was sent for
at once found four places where Mrs.
Gibson had been bitten. He gave her a
stimulant and had antiseptics applied all
day. The pain kept up and by night
Mrs. Gibson's side and arm were swollen.
The swelling has now disappeared. but
the pain continues. No serious results
are anticipated. as prompt treatment was
obtained. The insect was caught and
sent to the insectary at Amherst College

Too Silly to Consider.

|lSPrihsHeld republican, October 81
The circulation at Brattleboro of a ne
utlon asking the license commissioners
OF that town TO reconsider their action in
reVoking the licenses of two places is
singularly ill-advised. The commission
ers action. concerning which not a breath
or suspicion was heard, called forth a
chorus Of commentator from many of
the law-abiding citizens and papers of the
state. The Brattleboro board was held
up as an example to some of the weak
kheed brethren. Now to have citizens of
thelr own town virtually discredit their
action by asking them to reconsider their
decision is discouraging to the last de-
gree II the petition is being signe bv
men whose names add any weight to such
a request. The ground taken by the ne
tltloners Is that there was no intention
on the part of the licensees to sell to
minors the ages of the boys being mis-
represented to them. This kind of a
didn't know 1t was loaded" excuse Is
TOO silly to consider. The fewer citizens
who sign this appeal the better it will be
Tor the reputation of the Vermont town.
Unless the temper of the board has been
sadly misJudged, the petitioners will Ia
given leave TO withdraw.
