TRAINS CRASH AT COLFAX.

A collision occurred between a Spo-
aane & Inland electric train and the
Moscow train at Colfax last Tuesday
evening about o'clock. Had the
crash been delayed a minute it would
have resulted in the loss of several
lives, for had the coaches been across
the track, instead of the locomotive,
deaths would have been unavoidable.
AS it is, the only damage resulting is
smashed vestibule on one of the cleo
trio cars and crippled engine from
the other train.
1t is the custom of the Inland train
crews to take their trains back to the
fair ground Y to turn them just soon
after their arrival but Tuesday night
the train that arrived at 7 10 was not
sent back until just as the Moscow
train on the 0. r. & N. was pulling
out from the passenger depot. The
tarin had pulled over the switch from
the main line to the Moscow branch
and the engineer had stopped his train
with the engine squarely across the
Inland track. Just as he was pulling
the throttle open to start his train the
rear end of the electric train, backing
down from the depot, struck the loco
motive just forward of the drivers,
throwing it off the track. The acci-
dent occurred so quickly that neither
the fireman nor the enigneer was able
to jump.

K. T.. MORTGAGE
Large Ranch Deal
 in Cochise County

One of the largest if not the largest ranch deal ever made in Arizona was completed Saturday, when the great San Bernsrdino cattle ranch and farms of John Slaughter, adjoining Douglas on the east, was leased to George D. Stevens & Brothers of Woodlawn, California. The Dispatch says that the parties concerned have not cared to divulge the price which figured in the transaction, but it Is known that offers o. more than S3jU, 900 have been turned down by Mir. Slaughter in times past, for the purchase of the ranch.
 The ranch has for many years been by far the largest in Southern Ari- zons, and the cattle with the Slaughter brand on them have gone to all the m arkets of the world. Owing to the high state of cultivation and the nat ursl richness of the forage, the beeves from this ranch have at all times commanded high prices in the market.

SEw1W Q
>--.

 Sevehty-eight years of age and an old-timer in the Tombstone district, Nr. F w Sinclair, who has devoted much of his time and thought to re- ligious and temperance subjects, sub- mits the following as his latest con- clusion on the subject. Oh say, can you ace the new glorio.
 light That over the land is so rapidly
 spreading; And our speakers stand forth and our
 enemies quail And our hearts now rejoice at the foes
 fast retreating For conquer we must, for our cause it
 is just. And with prohibition in God put our
 trust; And the Star SpsngIed Banner and
 glory shall wave. Der the land of the free and the home
 of the brave. From the senate and congress the
 people demand No more shall the strong drink receive
 their protection; No more shall the rum dealer dictate
 our laws, Nor Congress be :guided by brewers
 dictation. The saloon it must go; in homes no
 more woe From the curse of strong drink that
 has long been the foe; And the Star Spangled Banner in
 glory shall wave. Der the land of the free and the home
 of the brave. When our land is once free from the
 curse of the stil, Peace and plenty shall reign over all
 this blessed nation; All praise to our God for the victory
 given And for thousands redeemed from the
 strong drink temptation. All strong drink must go and with it
 the woe, And our hearts now rejoice at the fall
 of the foe; And the Star Spangled Banner in glory
 shall wave, Ger the land of the free and the home
 of the brave.

 Tombstone Epitaph

MT Charles D. Reppy, right.of-vay agent of the Southern Pacific, is in Tombstone today on business for his company. Twenty-eight years ago, when Tombstone was in the heydsy of its glory, MT. Reppy was here also, but not as railway promoter. In those days of primitive transpcrtion facili ties when redskins and knights of the road disputed the rights of the high way with the fre;Sh:c.s and stage companies, Mir. Reppy bestrode the ed- itorial tripod of THE TOMBSTONE EPI- TAPH, one of whose founders he was, while the present proprietor just en- tering into the mysterious realm of printerdom, a promising understudy. was yc ept the "devil." Many changes have taken place since that time, but Mir. Reppy has lost none of his affec- tions for Tombstone and his old-time friends, and it was with genuine de- light that he walked through the old EPIrAPH office where he had spent many years in active newspaper work in the day. when Tombstone pulsated
 with the wild, vibrant life which in
 those days was typical of the mining camps of the west EEen the old
 presses and printing material, long
 disused, were familiar objects to him
 and called up p-many "reminiscences ol
 the past and of the boys who handled
 them.
 Mr Reppy has many old-time friend; ! in Tombstone who are glad to meet
 him.
