D. S. Bray and Frank Lane took the machine out Center street to exercise it a. bit after its long railroad ride. It was found to be as frisky as when it left the shop as MT. Lane learned to his sorrow. He attempted to pull a lever when it flew back and struck him on the arm with a blow like q trip nammmer. He thought at first his arm was broken and came immediately to town where he had it dressed by Dr. Stroud. Ex- animation showed no broken bones but it also demonstrated to MT.

  Joseph Fif1eld of the firm of Fifield x Gallagher. having concluded his years contract with the Greene Consolidated company, returned to the city yesterday morning and will devote himself to the extensive business of the firm. Mir. Fi- field did we'll at Cananea and is efrusive in his praise of the management of the great camp. Before he left he was pro- vided with railroad transportation in the form of a tie-pass of the most lib- eral character, and apparently in vio- lation of the interstate commerce law and all the traffic agreements that were ever entered into. The only limitation in it provides that the holder must sidetrack himself for all passenger. freight and mixed trains as we'll as construction trains and handcars. The pass is unlimited as to time. Extra ordinary stop-over privileges are con- ferred. The holder is allowed to leave the track whenever he pleases and re- sume his journey whenever he feels like it. The pass is good not only on the Cananea road, but on all connecting roads, and also on all roads which con- meet with connecting roads. Thus Mir F'ifield can travel anywhere iu the United States. He will go to the worlds fair next year.
