was eight years old her father met
with a fatal accident, leaving the fam
lily without financial resources. Esther
| possessed of the stamina which made
her cousin, Charles Sumner, famous,
announced her determination to &C.
quire an education. Working out dur
| ing the summers, she saved each year
few dollars which enabled her to
attend the village school during the
winters. At the age of II she taught
the little school on the mountain in
the hamlet where she now resides, Ply
mouth Union.
She continued to direct the minds Of
her little flock until at the age of 20,
Noah Damon, lettering soldier of the
revolution, crossed her path. He went
to Plymouth Union on visit and fell
In love with the pretty young school
mistress. Two weeks later they were
married.
The courtship appears to have been
an instance of history repeating itself;

demona by Othello. Night after night
Noah Damon, 76-year-old patriarch, sat
by Esther Summers side and told her
of his love for her, recounting his
deeds of valor upon dozen battleflelds
in the war for independence, urging
his need for a helpmeet in the declin-
ing days Of his life, and giving the
girl to understand that he possessed
means to enable them to live in COM

was the date Of the marriage.
Immediately following the wedding It
developed that Mr.. Damon, instead Of
possessing funds or property, could
figure up assets amounting all told to
but $3.50. and that he had borrowed
from a friend the suit Of clothes in
which he was married.
The bride, by for exercise Of the
most rigid economy, had saved a small
sum Of money from her meager allow
anee for teaching. but this did not last
long and soon the couple found them
selves without funds or visible means
Of support. Mr.. Damon was physically
unable to work and the task OF bread
winning fell upon the shoulders of the
| girl bride Of a few weeks. who. in
stead Of escaping the burden Of self
support. was compelled to provide
food. clothing and shelter for two per-

BRAVE DEAD BOYS IN BLUE.

The winding bugle now is still,
No more shall the war cry sever,
Nor loving hearts with fear grow chill.
They're at rest forever and forever.
The sleep on sunny hillsides,
Meath the violets and the dew,
And some the deep ocean hides,
Our brave dead boys in blue.
And some are sleeping meath the cane
And some beneath the palm,
But ever above our heroes slain
Honor sings an eternal psalm.
Oh, history, times a sacred trust,
To teach our sons the story true
OF brave hearts moldering now in dust
That once beat proud meath army niue

For half century she has subsisted

broken in body, she sits day after day

 CAST VICTIM
 INTO COAL BIN Left Him There for Dead Loss by ClOudbuFSt

Chas. Baus was b-utally assaulted and robbed in this city Thursday night | by two fellows who had been hanging around town for several days, says the Coconino Sun. Baus has been enl- ployed at the logging camp for several months The robbery took place in front Cf the Arizona Central bank building, some time after midnight. After beating their victim into uncon- sciousness, they dragged him around behind the building and threw him into an empty coal bin, probably think ing him dead. They secured about $50 in cash and a gold watch. Sev- eral roomers in the Bank building heard the noise of the struggle, but failed to realize that almost a murder was being perpetrated within few feet of them. Baus did not regain consciousness until about o'clock,
 when he went to the depot and told
 hls story to the night operator. He
 was sent to the jail where he informed Deputy Sheriff Ferguson (Sheriff Hen derson and Deputy Campbell were
 both out of town) of the facts. Baus
 knew his asSGilants by sight and could give a fairly good description of them, and when he described them the dep uty knew the men wanted. Marshal | Bayless also knows them by sight, and their description was telegraphed up and down the line.
 The names of the suspects are Tom | Bruce and Wm. Morgan. They were ! captured last night at Ash Fork by | Thad Whitley. a special Santa Fe offl- cer. and were brought here this morn | ing and placed in rail. where they were positively identified by Baus, the vic ilm of their c0wardly assault. When l captured they had something over S2p ! but the watch was not found. Sheriff l Henderson was at Ash Fork yesterday
 afternoon and had given Officer Whit l ley such 8 close description of the men that he recognized them at sight when be found them in a box car at that place last night They are both good for a term at Yuma and that is less
 than they deserve.
 , The Sun also says County Recorder H. C. Hubbard is a heavy lcser 9y the cloudburst of Wednesday night. He owned a fine little ranch located
 in Fort valley. northwest of town. He had in a crop of sixty acres of oats and about ten acres of potatoes, both
 of which were in splendid shape and his chances for a big yield were excel lent. But the floods came and the
 ranch is now a scene of devastation
 The crops are ruined. fences washed { away and the fields covered with de bris and stones of all sizes. The soil was washed and cut in greal gullies and in many place huge piles
 of rocks are scattered about. where the
 day before were level fields of grow ing, crops. In fact the ranch is al
 most completely ruined. MT. HibbeI informs us that it would be worth d
 much to remove tn rocks and bould | CTS. as the ranch would be worth.

THE RISING SALTON.
The Inland Sea Continues It's En-
 croschments.

George W. Brown returned yester- day morning from a short outing on the coast, says the Phoenix .Republi- can. He brought with him the latest word of the rising Saiton Sea. The trains are now running on the first 'shoo fly" which was buib about 500 feet north of the main line and the work of building another ''shOo fly still further north is being pushed as rapidly as possible. The indications are that there will be urgent need for it soon, for the waters of the sea are are constantly coming up. There is so far comparatively little water on the north side of the present track, which is quite a solid structure. Still, the water has found it's way through in places, or else ways have been made for it, so that now and then there is an expanse of 200 or 300 feet of water north of the track. These, though, are patches of isolated water rather than extensions of the main body. Notwithstanding the care which was taken to make the track strong trains crawl across the twenty mile stretch. the journey occupying an hour and a half.
 No trace of the main line can be seen, beyond the telegraph poles and some of them are submerged for from cne-half to two-thirds of their length The trip across the sea is an interest ing one though 1t is not physically very enjoyable. But once the water has been crossed there is a refreshing
 breeze.

Douglas, Ariz., Aug. S0.-Special.)-
 The reported trouble at the railroad shops in this city will have cOnsidera- tion this afternoon at 3:30. when committee representing the machinists working in the shops and roundhouse will be received by General Manager H. J. Simmons in the office of the mas ter mechanic The committee of the machinists is composed of Tom Ma honey, Walter Rock and John Brodie.
 A representative of the Interna- tional-American saw MT. Mahoney at 2 o'clock this afternoon. but he was not disposed to discuss the matter saying there was no connection be tween the machinists and the boiler makers and that there trades were as different as that between the machin ists and lithographers or printers. Asked if the machinists had any griev- ances to present to Mir. Simmons at the meeting this afternoon, NIT. Ma honey stated that he had nothing to say regarding that for publication, in timating that it would be best not to make public the matters which were to be discussed with Mir. Simmons. At the meeting this afternoon it is be- lieved that an aInicable agreement will be reached.
 The men brought from Fl Paso this morning to take the places of the dis charged boilermakers are at work, and, according to the statements of the railroad officials. the shops were full handed today.
