\ shockIrg Accident.

Information received at N0gaies
 Wednesday and Thufsday con.
 veyed the intelligence that Cirilo
 Ramirez Jf., n boy about sixteen
 years of age, son of the we'll known
 broker of Nogales, Sonora, lost his
 life near Ortiz station, on the line of the Sonora railway, Sunday
 morning in a very peculiar and shocking manner. During the day of Sunday the mangled remains of human being were found along the track below Ortiz, scattered along the distance of kilometre. The remains were so mutilated and scattered that identification was impossible. But in a pocket was found handkerchief marked with indelible ink with the name of small brother of the Ramirez boy, with photograph of his sister and a cap which was identified, afterward as that of young Ra- mirez was found.
 Wednesday lad named Enci- mas, who resides at Nogales, ap- peared at Hermosillo, having come from Guaymas, where he had gone from Nogales Sunday, leaving the line city Saturday night. The two boys stole their way on the train, riding on top of the mail car. En- cinas related that in passing the water tank at Ortiz the valve rope caught young Ramirez about the neck and dragged him along the roof of the car. At the end of the car he fell between the two cars, the rope releasing it's hold, and he must have lodged between the two cars Tn an insensible condition, being carried along in that way for a distance, and then falling to the rails, being cruelty chopped and by the revolving wheels carrying him along on the track, and grinding his lifeless remains to bits.
 The tragedy occurred where the track crosses a hacienda belonging ing to an uncle of the lad, one of the Maytorena's. The uncle assisted in gathering and burying the remains, and it was by chance only that he discovered the evi- ience that the unfortunate was his own nephew.

At Phoenix, Tuesday Of the pre-. sent week, there passed away Mr. Milton E. Moore, q gentleman we'll Iand widely known in Arizona, hav- ing held during ten years past the post of register of the United States land office, first at Tucson, when the territory included two land districts, and at Phoenix since con. solidation. Deceased had been an invalid many years, and his demise had been possible at any time but at the same time his last fatal illness was sudden, and the end came unexpectedly, almost. He was confined to his bed but two or three days. During many years MT. Moore was a sufferer from con- sumption, which disease had been superinduced by an ugly gunshot wound received in the civil war, in which he engaged as a soldier in a Kansas regiment.
 Mir. Moore was printer by trade, and after the war he conducted a newspaper in Kansas, and was chief clerk in the legislature. Re moving to Colorado he located at Salida, where he published a news paper and served as postmaster. On account of his lung trouble Mir. Moore left Colorado and went to California, where THE OASIS editor knew him at San Bernardino, in 1888, in which year MT. Moore was local editor of the Daily Index, of which newspaper Mir. Bird was managing editor. Still suffering from his lung trouble Mir. Moore removed to Arizona in 1892, and located at the Arizola colony, where THE OASIS was established in 1893; and there the intimacy formed at San Bernardino was renewed and cemented. In 1895 Mir. Moore represented Pinal coun- ty in the territorial legislature, and in 1897 President Mckinley com rnissioned him register of the land office, post he retained to his death.
 Surviving him deceased leaves to mourn his loss a widow, two sons and two daughters, the latter all grown to manhood and woman hood.
 Deceased was a gentleman of fine attainments and high ideals, a model citizen. a devoted husband and a kind father. In all rela tions of life he evinced a character and worth of the very highest order, and his passing Is real loss to Arizona.

from Pettibone after his arrest. The
letter was not signed. He was shown
a copy of the letter and identified it
but it was not introduced in evidence
at this time. The witness then told
of his preliminary hearing at which
he was bound over and of his conver-
sation with Fred Miller, his attorney
in regard to compensation for his
services The defense objected to the
introduction of this testimony but the
court admitted it. Orchard said he
gave Miller an order on Pettibone to
pay the attorney all the money he
had coming to him. Orchard was ask
ed by Counsel Hawley how much mon.
ey he had received from the Fedora.

tween $4,000 and $4,000.
Orchard all but broke down when
Hawley asked If he had any personal
enmity against his victims, naming
them one by one, and in each case
he said he had none. He was espe.
cially affected when asked concerning
the killing of Mccormack and Beck at
the Vindicator mine, of whom he said
he had thought a great deal.

Fish reiterated his statement that
Hartman is seeking control of the
Illinois Central in the interest Of the
Union Pacific. He declared he had
been the benefactor of J. I. Harahan.
now president of the Illinois Central.
and asserts he saved Harahan from
dismissal several years ago when
Hartman and George A. Peabody de-
clared that Harahan had outlived his
usefulness to the company.
In regard to loans Fish declares that
since 1877 it has been the custom of
a railroad to loan its idle funds to
officers Of the railroad company or
firms of which they were members.
He insists that both Harahan and
Peabody have taken advantage of this
custom and declare that all mis- own
loans were recorded on the books of
the company and that the collateral
was good.

arguments against making permanent

Mr.. Staab NOT seriously Hurt.
Mr.. Staab returned to this city on
belated train this morning little
the worse for his experience in the
wreck, although narrow strip OF
sticking plaster covered a cut over
his right eye and his back was in
iured. That he was not more serious
ly hurt seems almost miracle, as
he was knocked down by the force
of the compact when the locomotive
struck the rear end Of the train he
was on.
At the time the wreck happened Mr..
Staab was in the toilet compartment
at the far end Of the rear Pullman
sleeper which was hit by the engine
pulling the second section. He was
standing at the lavatory washing his
face and hands when the collision sud-
denly sent him staggering against the
side of the car and thence to the
floor.
The Pullman was more or less dam
aged by the collision, but did not turn
over. The only thing that prevented
more serious wreck is that the
locomotive drawing the second train
which ran into the first section was
not running at high rate of speed
Several of the seats were demolished
and there was crash of breaking
glass from the windows and doors
as the two trains came together.
Mr.. Staab at the time Of the wreck
was on his way home from Denver
where he had been on a business trip
