Wreck Near Benson
 On Sout hern Pacific

A broken hsnge on an oil car wheel was the cause of & wreck on the South. ern Pacific six miles eas, of Benson last night.
 The wreck occurred ab >u: 6:3O o'clock. No. g had passed the freight, and was consequently not delayed by the blockade caused by the wreck. No. |, another of the west-bound p,s- senger trains, was caught east of the wreck, however, and delayed several hours until the track could be cleared.
 Three heavy oil cars on the freight were derailed. but as the train was not moving rapidly at the time, it was stopped by the automatic air brakes before there were any further derail- ments.
 A message was sent 10 Tucson for the wrecking crew and they removed the wrecksge after several hours work.

Yuma county can make just claim to being the first of the Arizona coun- ties to name delegation to the demo- cratic convention in Tucson, May 2s, when SIX delegates and six alternates 10 the national convention in Den yer, which will be held July :, will be selected.
 Likewise Yuma can claim the s.ill greater honor of having been the first Ar.zona county to instruct it's dele gates for William Jennings Bryan for the democratic nomination for presi- dent.
 Last Saturday the county central committee for Yuma county met, and after naming it's e!ght delegates to the Tucson convention, not only instructed them to vote for resolu- tions endorsing Bryan, but to put forth their best efforts to bringing about his endorsement by the Tucson conven. tion.

An Ugly Case to Come
 Up Before the Court

Insanity proceedings, always at tended by pathetic circumstances and details have about reached & climax in the case of 6 woman who is now committed for examination before Pro bate Judge Goodbody, and whose name We withhold m the hope that she may be saved some measure Of dark humil- iatiop.
 It appears that she VAS left an or phan al a tender sge, and that her mind was of feeble order from birth. She, in addition to these unfortunate circumstances. was of sn amisble and conhdiDg disposition, and 1t is now reported that some unspe ksble william took advantage oi the fact with the result that che is in a delicate situstion today, the con- stant thought of which doubtless drove her over the precipiee Of desper stion and brought her before the in- l quisitorial tribunal on charge of in- sanity.
 Should these facts prove true after proper investigation Judge Good body states that he shall use ever, means in hs power to ssccertsiI who the villainous betrsyer of thi poor creature is, and very properl. asserts that he will exhaust ever means iu his power to bring the wretcl to justice.
 ! The press cannot too strongly de ncunce such crimes as this and it is [, be hapod that the probate judge Sil be successful in his efforts to indentif the criminal and bring him within th reach of outraged justice.

Another Road for
 Cochise County

Articles of incorporation were filed yesterday with the county recorder, signed by J. : Douglas, William Brophy, Nj. J. Cunningham and Geo. Neal, for the purpose of a railroad scheme from Bisbee to Douglas dcwn the old Tombstone canyon and Forest ranch route.
 The company is incorporated for sJ0O, 900 and the most significant feature in the matter Is that Jas. $. Douglas has subscribed s3UO 900 to the enterprise.
 The s. P has long since put & s1ryey through this route. but i, is evident that when that system comes into Bisbee, it will do so over she Warren street car line system.
 Competent engineers state that ? per cent grade can be obtained through the canyon contemplated by these articles of incorporation, and the route cuts of aboy:t ten miles between Douglas and Bisbee. and the present move may mesh something besides an electric route.
