F0ILED AGAIN.
Arizona Bandits, Released From Peniten. tidry, Attempted to Run off Herd
 of Horses.

Within three weeks Of the time they were released from d five years term in the Arizona penitenniary, the Owens brothers, convicted Of guilt in the holdup 0f Southern Pacific trains at Cochise and Fairbanks, are again in trouble, and each is in such serious condition that the officers do not know whether they will live to face a charge before another court of law.
 After being released from the ter ritorial prison, the brothers went straight to the home Of David John- son, a Sulnhur Springs ranchman, who had bgfriended them, and were employed q cowboys. The tempta- tion, after five years of continuous restraint, lroved more than their naturally wird dispositions could resist

and they planned to run of q bunch of Johuson's horses. Johnson got tip to that effect and immediately accused the brothers of it.
 This led to quarrel and later a pis- tol battle and later a hand to hand en- counter in which both of :he eXbandits were badly hurt. Hot words were ex- changed and both Owenes' drew their guns and commenced shooting. John son and his men took refuge behind some out buildings, the former being the only one on his side who was armed.
 During the battle Lewis Owens was hit by d bullet from Johnson's gun and dropped out of the fight. Johnson and the other Ownes soon used up all their ammunition, aud :hen decided to finish the fight with their fists. Al though Johnson was dealt d terrible blow oyer thehead with branding iron. he was able to continue activities until he had overpowered his opponent and tied hiu:ka Ownes then assisted his wounded brother to horse, and mounting another the two rode into Wilcox. arriving there in an eX- hausted condition. George Ownes was badly weakened from loss of 1 blood. on account of the gash in his head, and it is doubtful if he will re- cover. The Ownes are considered eX- ! tremely bad men, from previous mis-
 deeds, and it is likely that as soon as
 their injuries recover sufficiently they will be given full penalty for the of-

TO BUY C. V. G. & N. ROAD.
IT Their Offer Is Not Accepted Will
 Parallel.

It Is rumored that the Phelps Dodge
 company, which recently effected the : consolidation Of the mines at Globe
 has made an offer to President William
 Garland of the Gila Valley, Globe X Northern, for the purchase of that road. It Is said that Phelps bod ge
 threatened to parallel the road if their
 offer Is not accepted. The Gila Valley,
 Globe and Northern connects Globe
 with Bowie on the main line of the Southern Pacific.
 The Old Dominion mine. which has Jfo'sr- -'-.->..h-5- hv the ph.l,.s Dodge company, had great deal of trouble several months ago with the Gila Valley, Globe and Northern oyer the question or freight rates on coke At that time they threatened to shut down their mines unless better rate were made, and the differences were finally settled. Phelps Dodge and Company went into the railroad busi- ness in earnest when they built the Fl PasO and Southwestern, and it is | to those in touch with 1 their affairs in Arizona to learn that | they have their eyes on the Gila | Valley, Globe and Northern. which | could easily be connected up with their other lines.
 It is also rumored that the G. V. G. | X N. railroad, if absorbed by the Phelps-Dodge company. will be con- 1ected with the Fl Paso and South western line via Deming. This will mean much for the Gila Valley. It will give an outlet to produce for this country, such as it has never had be- ore.

an extent that many entirely new fieids

went down, until it lowered around the

exceptions were confined to certain well
defined fields. the producers ccnasnting
themselves with merely extending the
limits of these ficlds, by the careful 10
cation of wells. rather than seeking for

few outside strikes which have been
made have not held mp to a profitable

river. There IS every assurance that
these lines of railway will shortly be
built 1t IS more than probable that the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad win be double
tracked in the near future between this
city and Parkersburg. That road is
much handicapped, on account of not
having sufficient motive power to handle
the mineral and other productions OF this
section of the state. The plan to use
the Ohio river will relieve the situation.
Such plans, Carried out, will be very ben
cficial to CIarksburg and will be felt
by the business interests in n helpful
way.

Stocks are lower than they have been
for six years. The United States Steel
