to bury his brother.

Today is the last day on which taxes
can be paid, to save the penalty,
which goes on Sunday. If the money
is not in Silver City tomorrow the
penalty is added.
c. f. Dunnagan, of Hachita, has
been in town this week, looking after
the interests of the. Roberts & Leahy
mercantile company, of which he is a
large stakeholder.
@. e. Hutchinson, who was Wells
Fargo agent here for a long time, and
moved from here to Tucson, where he
has charge Of the express business, is
q candidate for alderman on the re-
publican ticket. The election will be
held next December 10.
George Culbertson, who has been
working cattle down near the Mex
lean line, showed the Liberal this
week a fine flint arrow head, which
he had picked up on the open plain.
He says that several arrow heads
have been found in that vicinity.
A number of the agents on this di-
vision were in Tucson the first of the
week, consulting with superintendent
McGoyern regarding the wage ques-
tion for station employees. When
Agent Mahoney came back and told
the gang how much of an increase he
had got for them they we're greatly
pleased with it,
Anthony B. Conner, of Bedrock,
and Joseph G. Elledge of Franklin
were in town Monday with their wit
nesses and made final proof before the
United States court commissioner on
their homestead entries. They have
both lived on their homesteads for
more than five years, and have good
comfortable homes.
II. r.. Cate, who has had charge of
the Wells-Fargo business here for
some time, has been promoted, and
moved to Deming. Paul Seitz has
been appointed agent in his place.
Mr.. Seitz had charge Of the Wells
Fargo business on the Arizona g. New
Mexico road for some time, but re-
Gently has been running as a messen-
ger between Nogales and Guaymas.
William Price Bryan died Sunday
night from the effects of an applop-
lectic stroke. He suffered from one
about four years ago, and another two
years ago, and the third M proved
fatal. He was buried at Shakespeare
Monday. Mr.. Price was born In Mis-
souri, in 1S41. In 1861 he enlisted in
a Missouri regiment, and fought
through the wal in the Union army.
After the war he married, and later
moved to the panhandle country of
Texas, where he spent most of his
life. He came to New Mexico several
years ago, and since then has lived in
Lordsburg and Clifton. He leaves a
widow and three sons to mourn his
death.
A special meeting of Grant county
commissioners is called to meet to-
day to consider the matter of the re-
vocation of a liquor license at Leo
pold. Under the law a license to sell
liquor cannot be granted at any place
where there are less than 100 in
habitants. At Leopold there are more
than the necessary number of inhab-
itants, but the saloon is not in the
village. The Leopold company owns
all the real estatethere and will not
rent a place where liquor can be sold.
The saloon is off the company proper
ty, but as near the village as it can
get, and the question for the commits
sioners to decide is whether the in
habitants of Leopold are to count as
being part Of the village, for saloon
purposes, when the saloon is outside
of the village. 1t is rather a COM
plicated question, and it Is probable
that 1t will, no matter how decided
by the commissioners, be taken into
the court for a decision. Tho man
ayers of the Leopold property want a
quiet camp, and win have no saloon
there, if it is possible to keep 1T out.
