ager of the Metcalf store, arrived

A pleasant picnic party was held
at Duncan last Monday, at which
were present Mrs. Longrunid and
daughters of Carlisle, Mrs. Lacy
and Miss James of Clifton, Dr.
Card and Mr. Humphrey of Car
lisle and J. A. Crum of Clifton.
Tom as Mendoza was arrested at
a wood camp up the river last
week' by Constable Smith on a
charge of petty larceny for having
stolen the running gear of a wag
on belonging to Mr. Tevis. He
had a trial before Justice Sias Fri
day and was fined $30 or 30 days.

boys on the Aravaipa round-np,
who was somewhat tbe worse from
the too free use of f-piritns fru
menti, "turned loose" his six
shoother, and when the fusilade
ended by his being disarmed, dis
covered that he had marked him
self by shootiDg a clean hole
through one of his ears. Wilcox

John H. Hovey made a partial
clean up from his 6ream arrastra
last Monday. The arrastra has
been running, actual time, about
six days of 24 hour, during which
it crushed nine tons of ore. The
value of the clean up is estimated
to be something over $400. When
it is considered that at the most
this amount is only about three
quarters of the value of the rock,
and that the first two or three tons
of ore put through was of his
lowest grade and none of his best,
the result is most satisfactory and
very encouraging to Mr. Hovey,
who deserves all the success he is
likely to receive. The object for
which Mr. Hovey is striving to
make the arrastra buy a stamp
mill is one that causes all mining
men in this district to watch the
outcome with a great deal of interest.

Messrs. Solomon and Bolan are
in Tucson, on business connected
with tbe Montezuma ditch.
Earll H. Webb, a young and
talented attorney of Tucson, is
visiting: here with a view to locat
ing permanently with us. He will
no doubt meet, with a hearty wel
come and the success that ability
and integrity merits. There is a
good opening here for an attorney
of Mr. Webb's caliber and it is to
be sincerely hoped that he may
find inducements sufficient to war
rant him in hanging out his shin
gle at Solomonville.
Our public school closed Fri
day, after a session of seven
months. The term has been a
successful one under the charge
of Miss Fitzgerald. Miss Fitz
gerald will spend her vacation in

assumed anything like alnrming
proportions.
Sheriff Crawford hna returned

failing of people living in close
proximity to a military post Mr.
Crawford further says that the
citizens and soldiers are both
awaiting with impatience and
looking forward with desire to the
time when the paymaster will put
in an appearance. Meanwhile the
town is dull

Solomonville, May 20.
Mr. Cunningham, better known
as "AluUIoon, who, during bis
last stay in town, got crazy drunk
and threw a stone through the
window of a Chinese restaurant
and skipped, came into Clifton
yesterday and was promptly ar
rested. He appeared before Jus
tice Sias, acknowledged the offense
and was fined $5 or five dayx.
During a temporary confinement
in the bastile Muldoon composed
the following pathetic linos.
While not, perhaps, equaling Ten
nyson or Longfellow in measure
or in accordance with the estab
lished rules of poetry, we imagine
that but few can read the lines
without a due sense of apprecia
tion for the poor man's misdirect
ed genius:
Now I'm a guest at tbe Clifton
free hotel
And for "chuck" I fare quite well;
I'm waited on kindly twice every
day,
An room rent I never have to pay
No bedbugs to tease me, no one to
annoy.
And greeted by my friends as they
chance to pass by.
On the banks of tbe raging Frisco
I am quietly settled down
And taking observations of dear
old Clifton town;
But soon I'll be out, and then I'll
go about
And bum my whisky straight until
I'm full of freight.
And when my skin is full I'll take
just one more pull
And lay my boozy head in my
usual little bed
The soft side of a plank, or the up
side of a bank.
But more frequently, I mutter, I
lay me in the gutter.
Lordsbnrg Liberal: C. H. Steg-
man of San Francisco has been in
town this week visiting his brother
W. G. Stecman. of Clifton. H,
Boon of Duncan came in Fri
day and bought a Southern Pa
cific ticket so as to ride on the east
bound train.' A party of Mexi
cans bad a social Ehootmg scrap
at Carlisle last week, in which two
of the participants were hnrt No
arrests. It is rumored that the
Southern Pacific is going to put
on a second passenger train each
way, and that Nos. 19 and 20,
which will carry the mail, will
meet here about noon. Begin
ning with June tbe Southern Pa
cific will pay off its employes
monthly instead of once in two
months as has hitherto been the
custom. The railroad boys are
much pleased with the change.
Alex Grant and Andy Mills
were down from their camp near
Morenci yesterday after a supply
of grub. They are highly elated
with the looks of their property
and report that at the bottom of
their 40-foot shaft the vein is

high grade rock.

There is vejy little of special
interest transpiring in Duncan at
present Merchants and saloon
men, however, report that busi
ness is pretty fair, a here are in
dications, too, that very large
crops will be harvested; already
alfalfa is being cut and in a few
weeks barley will begin to come
in. A great many oi lue .armors
are setting out fruit trees, vines,
eta. and in a few fears no one
need be surprised to find this a
veritable garden spot
Miss Emma Paxton, one of the
Gila belles, left for El Paso last
week to visit her bister, Mrs. W.
K. Sawyer. She will probably re
main a month or six weeks.
Mr. Walls, who used to live at
the Coronado ranch, has returue.l
lo this couuiry. He, if , and
Tom Levy and wife, were iu Duu
can several days ago to have an
acknowledgement taken before
the notary public. They have
bonded their mine near Carlisle
to C. P. Crawford.
The ever genial A. H. Nichol of
the cattle firm of Nichol and Co.,
left this morning for El Paso.

Frank and wife, who are on their
way from Florida to California.
James Parks is back from a
three weeks' visit to Texas. From
his looks the trip evidently agreed
with him.
We take pleasure in chronicling
the birth of a boy to Mr. and Mrs.

The picnic and fish-fry given
last' week under the auspices of
the ladies of Duncan and vicinity
was a most enjoyable affair. Qaite
a large number of fish had been
caught the day before, and added
to that was the bountiful dinner
provided by the ladies. A table
was set which would have delight
ed the heart of Epienrns luaiself.
Very few young men were in at
tendance on account of the round
up being in progress. This was a
source or regret ana the young
men who were debarred from par
ticipating earnestly hope that the
ladies will at some early date get
up another one. Such affairs are
always enjoyable and the ladies
on the una have the iacuity ot
always currying to a successful
issue any entertainment planned.
Mr. Owens brought in several
gallons of fine strawberries the
past week. He has a large putch
of them and will get quite a sum
of money from his sales. We
trust the day is not far off when
our farmers here will devote their
attention to the cultivation of such
things.
Carlisle is booming. All men
who go there can get work at once.
Mr. Bailey of that place is now
shipping some rich ore.
Croquet is not in the least on
the wane in Duncan. From the
proficiency attained by its devo
tees we think they might, without
fear, challenge Prof. Jacobi him
self. Adios for the present
Punch.

Obituary.
"Wood" Dodd. a brave man
well known throughout Arizona
and New Mexico, died at Algona,
Iowa, on the 4th inst. Through
Horace B. Stevens of El Paso we
are enabled to furnish our readers
with a brief history of his event
ful life.
Henry Wood Dodd was born in
Toledo, Ohio, in 1839. When 16
years of age he entered the bank
of Toledo, as clerk, and remained
there until the breaking out of
the war. In 18G1 he enlisted in
the First Ohio Light Artillery.
Almost immediately his daring
spirit and consummatb address
recommended him for a place in
one of the most important bureaus
of the public service. By order
of Secretary Stanton he was de
tailed as a scout in the secret ser
vice, and rendered invaluable
service until the close of the war.
He scouted in this capacity for
Burnsido, Meade, Hooker and
Grant, and amid many exciting
adventures and hair-breadth es
capes always managed to avoid
permanent capture. Once be was
taken by Henry Gil more, but by
destroying his dispatches and
J playing deserter he succeeded in

making his escape. After the war
he joiued his brother Col. F. H.
Dood, who was appointed by Pres
ident Lincoln agent of the Navajo
Indians in New Mexico, remaining
there until his brother died in tbe
year 1869. .
He remained in New Mexico
and Arizona engaged in mining,
bunting, and serving as a govern
ment scout and dispatcu bearer,
until the fall of 1866, when he was
thrown from bis horse near Clif
ton, since which time he has been
an invalid. Many remember the
dangerous ride he made on the
trail of Geronimo when the 6avage
left the reservation in May, 1S85;
how he succeeded in "passing the
Indians and warning the citizens
of Alma, N. M., of tbe outbreak.
His funeral was on Sunday the
6th inst, under the direction of
the Grand Army of the Republic.

It having been reported that one
Jerome H. Vaughn is posing be
fore the citizens of Clifton as a
representative of the Mormon
people, and as such circulating
reports are calculated to injure
these people in the estimation of
the citizens of Clifton, L, on be
half of the Mormon people, wish
it to be distinctly understood that
the said Vaughn is not of or with
us; that we know nothing of him,
and furthermore we don't wish to
know anything of him.

Silver City Enterprise: Rumor
has it . that Don H. Kedzie, the
very worthy editor of the Lords
burg paper, is soon to pay a visit
to Savannah, Georgia, to meet the
author of certain letters which
have been coming siuce tbe Don
saw a communication from her
when in the Enterprise office a
year ago. D. C. Hobart, re
turned Sunday from Clifton, well
pleased with the camp, and espec
ially with the satisfactory manner
in which tbe 20-inch-guage rail
road of that camp has always
worked. Th ere is twelve miles of
road in the system, with an aver
age grade of five per cent The
heaviest grade is 303 feet per mile.
He reports the camp as rather
lively. A steam arrastra is run
ning on one of the main streets,
crushing three tons of gold ore
every 2i hours. Arthur H.
Nichol, manager of the O bar O
outfit at Duucan, spent some days
iu t he city this week. Ho recently
sold 109 head of steers to the beef
contractor at San Carlos for a good
price. He will leave iu a few days
ou a hasty business trip to old
Euglaud, his former home.
