 Senator Kasrns, of Utah, thought he had Arizona on the hip, wh,n the vote on statehood was taken, and submitted an amendment for the elimination of Arizona from jOinture with New Mexi. co, for which he proposed to vote, in consideration of Utah beiug ceded the big strip of land north of the Colorado river, which now belongs to this terri tory. Kearns got mixed in his dates and now declares that he did not vote in the affirmative on the New Mexico statehood measure. The Utah people have been trying for years to get pos session of our northern strip and are willing at any time to stoop to any low down measure to get it. Utah is large enough as it is, but if the people of that state really want more land why are they not honest aud offer pay for it as honest people should. Mo. have county has large indebtedness, as has Coconino, the two counties from which the lands are proposed to be taken, aad these counties are will ing to part with them in consideration of the paym of all outstanding debts. We do not believe that con. gress will ever partition this territory unless with the consent of our people.

Bonelli and Albert Teeter, who were hunting horses last Thursday afternoon. The find was re ported to the officers and the sheriff and coroner immediately made an investigation. The body was that of an aged mau and death ap peared to have been from natural causes. It was wrapped in bedding, but animals had eaten away the flesh from the face and neck aud one arm was entirely gone. Some clothing was lying near the body and sack con- taiued clothing and two cans of sar- dimes and can corned beef. Nothing that would identify the man in any way could be found. Near the body was railroad ticket dated January II, 19J5, from Goffs to Needles. There was not even jack knife in the pock cts. The body was brought to town and buried in the cemetery yesterday.
 The statehood bill is in a badly muddled shape in the U. s. Senate. It was supposed that Arizona was drop ped out of the running and that New Mexico was to go in as single state, but Senator Ke rms, whose vote was re corded for the measure, enters a vigor ous protest and claims his in the neg. ative. If the senate takes this view of it the whole matter will be left just where it was before the vote was taken. Kearns wants a slice of Arizona and in his anxiety to have an amendment to that effect tackled onto the statehood bill voted with the majority and the act making New Mexico a state passed the senate and was sent to the house for its concurrence. No action for the recall Nf the measure has yet been talk en, but it is expected that the bill will be recalled nd the measure will fail on tie vote.
