RAILROAD ADVERTISING-The Colorado Midland Railroad Go. has been sending out some very artistic advertising for some years past and as the years go by it is getting more artistic all the time. At the M- x r. office there has been received the latest picture issued. the head of a rocky mountain lion, almost life size in handsome frame and covered with glass. In one corner of the picture IS a reproduction in miniature of the last former picture sent out, an Indian brave in war paint mounted on fiery steed.
 THE CLERK OF TIE BOARD-A suggestion was made by a newspaper of this city yesterday that way out of the muddle in which the board or supervisors is supposed to have found itself in the matter of the appointment of a clerk of the board would be to reappoint Neri Osborn. As matter of fact as the Republican stated yes terday there is no muddle and the s'i- pervisOrs have already determined up on the appointment of w G. Pendle- ton Mir. Osborn in any event would not accept a reappointment. He has other matters on hand which require his early attention and he will not be able even to fill out quite the term for which he was appointed. He will quit the office on Jan. 1 though he has been asked by the supervisors to re- main a month longer.

Leeds is manager of the Santa Fe refrigerator dispatch service with headquarters in Chicago. MT. Leeds and MT, Chambers will be in Phoenix today.

Smith for letters of ad- ministration and the removal of Chas. r. Simms and George Brosius from the IexecutOrship on the ground that they
  Ilater move has yet been made but it is
 understood that the petition of MT. smith will be opposed though by what Interest has not yet been divulged
 There is perhaps no other tract of Hand in the territory around which so much litigation has centered as the land comprising 9 part of the Slmms
 estate. There was a time in Phoenix when men were hung in effigy for the mart they took in connection with that Hand and a duel between the late Ma l for J. w Evans and Col. E. J. Ed wards over it was partially arranged.
