very determined, and thought they
owned the town. They had a CON
tract with the company agreeing not
to strike but leave all differences to
arbitration. Notwithstanding this
they struck. The company secured
the services of Farley, the strike
breaker, and before he could get all
his men to town the union backed
down, the men went to work, and
agreed to arbitrate all differences,
There was a little rioting over the
Farley men, but all is now reported

According to the game law it is IN.
lawful to trap or kill quail at any
time, except they may be killed with
a gun during the months of October,
November and December only. Com
plants come to the LIBERAL that
some hunters have been shooting quail
this mouth. The people complaining
say the young quail are two small too
eat. They object to the shooting OF
them out OF season not only because II
is against the law, but because it
makes them gun shy, and they will be
harder to get when it is legal to kill
them.

George w. Yancy, a conductor of a
freight train, killed a Mexican near
Dragon last Friday night. There
have been several stories printed as to
the particulars of the killing, and the
LIBERAL gets the following from an
officer of the railroad company. As
the train was pulling out of a station
near Dragon the brakeman saw some
Mexicans climbing into a car Of mer-
chandise. 1t was too late to stop the
train and put them off. At Dragon,
the next stop the brakeman and
Yancy, one on either side of the train,
went forward to interview the Mex
icans. The men had jumped out OF
the car when the train stopped, and as
Yancy came up one Of them pulled a
pistol and told Yancy be was the man
he was looking for. Yancy knocked
up the mans gun, and shot him, the
shot being fatal. The other men ran.
The coroner at Wilcox investigated
the case, and declared Yancy was jus.
titled.

H. Wbltehill, at Deming. Mr.. Lalrd's
death was sudden, caused by heart
failure, while Mr.. Whltehlll's death
was not unexpected, as he had been
sick for more than a year. Both men
had been prominent IN politics in
Grant county, Mr.. Laird on the re-
publican side, and Mr.. Whitehlll on
the democratic side. Both have served
Grant county as sheriff, and each had
defeated the other, and succeeded the
other in that important office. Both
were men of genial disposition, and
made friends easily, and had been
strong with their parties. Mr.. White
hill has been out CT politics for ten
years or so, his last ONCE being that Of
sheriff. He was seventy.two years old
and left a wife aud several grown
children to mourn his death. He was
buried at Silver City. Mr.. Laird, at
the time OF his death. was assessor Of

As most of our readers know, certain
English and Scotch universities elect
members of the British house Of COM
mons. Although Mr.. Chamberlain was
badly beaten when Unionist candidates
straddled, he met with gratifying sue
cess where a straight fight was made
and now the return Of all six Of the
university Unionists must be very graf
flying 10 him. The Saturday Review
r!.;:'.tS the following comment on the
result of TIE voting III the universities:
with the close Of the polling for
Edinburgh and st. Andrews universe
ties Oh Thursday, Feb. 3. the elections
for the university seats were conclud
ed. All Of them are filled with Union
lists. Not single Liberal nor a single
Unionist free FODDER has been returned
as a university member. These cleo
lions are more than usually significant
They should give pause to those who
are fond of proclaiming that all the in
tellect is on the side Of free trade
In another place the same journal
says:
'In fact. Liberals cannot explain or
explain away the awkward fact that
the only vote to which an intellectual
qualification is attached is permanent
ly and everywhere against them
The usually brilliant Evening Post
cannot have noticed this circumstance
during its jubilation over the great
free trade victory In England. 1t does
not seem possible that it should know
this fact and allow 1t to be presented
to the original thought Of this country
In all its abhOrrent nakedness.
