TWO eANKs-Benson is coming to

TWO BANKS-Benson is coming to the front. Only a short time ago it's first banking institution, the Bank of Benson. was incorporated, and a few days ago the articles of incorporation of another bank was filed. It is to be called the Citizens Bank of Benson. The incorporators are H. Gerwein, NJ. r. Castenada H. w. Etz, w. c. Land and C. L. Hanks. The cashier will be J. A. Gibbs.
 HORSE THIEVES AT WORK-On
 Friday night a horse and buggy be- longing to J. J. Howard was stolen
 from his place north of the Indian
 school. The horse is a sOrrel and the
 buggy is an old one Stealing horses
 is a common enterprise in this part
 of the country but it is unusual for a
 thief to take a buggy except from a hitching post and then he gets rid cf
 it as quick as he can.
 KNOWN ELSEWHERE-J. W. Nal
 son. who is in jail here awaiting the action of the grand jury and charged
 with forging a postofice money order seems to have a record. The Globe
 Register says: "J W. MaIson, who
 only a few weeks ago played the hobo and general vagrant acts to Globe au-
 diences at Hotel Shanley and pan
 handled the printing offices of the
 town to the limit, has lately been ar rested at Phoenix for induiging in a little joke on Uncle sam. in the way
 of getting the money on postal order
 payable to another. On a visit to Saf- ford it is reported he worked those
 genial gentlemen, John J. Birdno and
 J. w. Casteel of the Graham Guardian. with great success. Their generosity
 to him raised them in his estimation
 to that high degree which he de- scribed by the term. dead easy"
 GLOBE WANTS GRUB-Advices
 from Globe, through the latest papers
 coming from there. are that the wash outs on the Gila Valley, Globe Sl Nor thern have gone beyond the joking point. Globe is getting hungry. There is still plenty to eat in the town such as it is. but the little delicacies and some of the staples of life are getting short There is no danger of anybody starving but the high livers of the mountain capital are liable to have to fall back on bacon and beans as in the days of yore Another and even a more serious matter is the shortage of fuel and it is feared if thepresent situ- ation obtains much longer there will be a necessary shutting down of fur naces at the smelters. These advices are several days old and from events that have been noted in this part of the world since then it is fair to presume that if the railroad was repaired it has been washed out again.
 WIRES, RAILROADS, MAILS-The Western Union is still unhorsed in the Phoenix battle-ground and Marlcopa is more remote from Phoenix than any
 other city of equal importance in the United States. The only important
 bulletin posted at the NJ. & P. rail- road office yesterday was the very con servative statement, No train out to- day" That particular bulletin has
 been working overtime lately and the people will be glad when it can be given rest. So will the railroad com pany. Nothing was heard from the Gila bridge directly but any time a Western Union wire cannot jump the chasm it viii be useless for a train to try. The Santa Fe train that left here Saturday afternoon was expected in last night about 10 o'clock and the
 train that left yesterday morning was expected in about this morning so
 that if everything works out as plan ned there may be two or more mails for delivery this morning. It was an nounced that the main line was open from the west but nothing was learned concerning the east.
