A recent experience convinces us
of the utility of wide tires for
freight wagons. Wide tires do not
cut the roads, but assist in packing
the road-bed. Let u. have wide
tires, by all means, and to do this
exempt parties from part or all road
tax who shall use wide-tired wagons.
' Henry Smith, Esq., and Earnest
Tee, Esq., of the 24 Cattle company,

tened for the Kansas City and Chi
cago markets.

Holbrook still maintains its old
time prestage for being the greatest
shipping point for live stock and
wool, along the line of the A. & P.
R. R-, between Albuquerque and the
Needles. The shipment of cattle
alone runs up to 20,000 head, and
sheep 18,00o. As for wool, more
than sixty cars were loaded at our
depot.
It is a very good plan for everyone
to keep his or her "scrap book;" in
doing so however, do not clip indi;
cnminately, but use your better
judgment in the selection of matter.
In writing the above no levity is in
tended, nor any gratuitous allusion
to Corbet t-Fitzsimons, or any local
"scrap" likely to occur in a pretty
town like Holbrook.
Late dispatches from Washington
say both democrats and republicans
are "boiling hot" over Cleveland's
total indifference to our interna
tional complications. While there
seems to be a crisis in our relations
with England, his "fatness" is off to
North Carolina duck hunting. It
looks very much like Cleveland's
boasted foreign policy(?) was simply
to allow England to do as she pleas
ed (ar in the Corinto affair), and so
commit this country that it cannot
consistently assert its rights at the
proper time.
A. F. Banta, who in 1883 assisted
Jezekiah Johnson in the issue of a
Spanish paper in old Albuquerque,
later at St. Johns in the banking
business and now here in the same
line, will issue the weekly Abous,
republican, next week. C. F. Hager,
late of George Albright's, is setting
up the paper and needs help. J"

Monday, the second instant, our
adjourned term of court opened
with Judge John J. Hawkins on the
bench. Present, Owens, sheriff; O.
D. Flake, clerk; Judge W. M. Perrill,
disrtict attorney. No grand jury
drawn, which fact gives the criminal
element a short respite. We notice
quite an array of legal talent pres
ent, viz: Johnson St Sloan of Pres
cott, Herndon & Norris of Prescott,
Bunch St Jones of Flagstaff, Wilson
St Burbage and Geo. Stoneman of
Winslow, E. M. Doe of Flagstaff,
Judge .F. M. Zuck and F. W. Nelson
of Holbrook. The civil docket car
ries sixteen cases, some of them of
more than ordinary interest to our
people. The criminal calander con
tains four cases only, neither of
which deserves special notice. The
civil cases of Huning vs. Porter and
Hnning vs. Houck are of especial
interest on account of amounts in
volved and of legal points to be adjudicated.

"THE BRADSHAWS."
How few today, either in or out of
Arizona, are conversant of how the
"Bradshaws" received their name.
Early in the 60'a, two brothers of the
name of Bradshaw were prospecting
and placer mining in that section of
the country; and that range . of
mountains were so named by the
other miners to designate where the
Bradshaw boys were located.
Speaking of the "Bradshaw moun
tains" calls to mind a little histor
ical event in connection with the
above name. At the first "general
election" held in Arizona, several
candidates were before the people,
for the place of delegate to congress,
viz: Chas. D. Posten, "Steamboat"
Adams, Doctor Lieb and Bill Brad
shaw, the elder of the aforé men
tioned "two brothers." C. D.Poston
was elected, mainly throughThe in
fluence and popularity of J. Ross
Browne. ' "Steamboat Adams ' short
ly afterwards drifted out of the pub
lic sight, and was heard of no more.
Doctor Lieb, author of "six months
in the quartermaster department or
how to make a million," took his
defeat so badly, that soon after the
returns were in, took to his bed and
soon died. Bill Bradshaw finally
succumbed to his life long 'failing,
and in a fit of despondency com
mitted suicide by cutting his throat
with a draw-knife, on the Big Colo
rado river.
One of the first duties of the
present congress should be the ad
justment of a fair and reasonable
tariff on foreign wools. A tariff of
not less than five nor more than ten
per cent would just about fit the
situation. Senator John Sherman
has been quoted as saying "a tariff
mus be put upon all foreign wools."
When John Sherman talks he means
something, and he knows pretty
well the action congress is most
likely to take in the matter under
discussion. The whole country will
await patiently the relief a republi
can congress is surely to give to it
Let congress do its rightfull duty
and if Mr. Cleveland chooses to kill
such legislation, then the people
can place the responsibility where
it properly belongs. ' "
Notice my few remarks: Money
talks they say and, I'm money
money from away back, coin of the
relm a silver dollar that's 100
cents; I've tried before to speak but
circumstance forbade. To tell the
truth, I couldn't get a word in not
a small word edgwise. Once I was
simply cash, now I'm lugged into
campaigns to worry staetsmen
Some whoop it up for gold, others,
again, for me, still others for the two
of us and all of those who whoop
take eitner, white or yellow, and give
no moan; so they get a plenty. My
serrate edge disturbs a few. They've
made a saw of me, furnished the
motive power of wind and set me
going, while they stand in the way
to wonder what is hurting. Don't
vou be scared. When is s all over
I'll be what now I am a big round
dollar.
