Little five-year-old May Glessener, Albu- querque, has been suffering for a year with what her parents and physician had thought an aggravated attack of catarrh. She has been doctored for this disease during that time, but a radical change has been effected. Mrs. Glesse- ner discovered a shoe button in the right nostril of the little ones nose. She extracted the button, since which time the sufferer has lost all her symptoms of catarrh. The historic log cabin on the corner ad- joining the Enterprise office, once the peaceful home of Billy the Kid, is being fixed up, and will be occupied shortly, as a boot and shoe making establishment.

Highly Sensational Jo E. Sheridan Publicly Assaulted By Mrs. Nettie Munger For some weeks past this city has been rife with sensations, gossip and scandal, to such an extent that little else has been talked of. A little of everything, from shooting scrapes down to trivial society gossip, have occurred with almost daily regularity, until such things were ex- pected as daily visitors. On Saturday last, how- ever, the attempted whipping of Jo E. Sheri- dan, by Mrs. Munger, created no end of com- ment, and the community was not slow in ex- pressing its sentiments in regard to the matter. At first the woman seemed to have the sym- pathy, but it rapidly changed to the side of Sheridan as the facts in the case became better known. It seems that Mrs. Munger desired to rent some rooms, and was shown several by Mr. Sheridan. The last room shown her was di- rectly in the rear of Dr. Stephens’ office. Mrs. Munger claims that Sheridan insulted her. Soon after this she called Mr. Sheridan out of Hand & Beall’s office and attempted to whip him with a rawhide. Mr. Sheridan caught and held her until a crowd began to gather, when he made his escape.

Mr. Sheridan caught and held her until a crowd began to gather, when he made his escape. On Monday a warrant was sworn out for the arrest of Mrs. Munger for assault, and on Wednesday the case came up before Judge Lucas. Mr. Sheridan was represented by James Fielder, and the defendant by Frank J. Wright. Since the above was in type the male members of the Munger family have apologized to Mr. Sheridan, stating that they had investi- gated the matter fully, and that they were satisfied from the woman’s own statement that the language used was not insulting, nor was it intended to be so. Quite a serious shooting occurred at Grant’s Station on the A. & P. last week. Earl Hudson, E. H. Brazile and Richard Wilson, cow- boys working for J. E. Saint, after loading three trains of cattle, rode over unarmed to Grant’s and entering Block & Bebo’s store, began throwing dice for the drinks. About 8 o’clock Simon Block ordered them to stop. Hudson inquired: “Why so? We have paid for all the drinks.” Block refused to give him a satisfac- ( 17 )

We have paid for all the drinks.” Block refused to give him a satisfac- ( 17 ) tory reply. They had a few more words and then clinched. Block broke away and ran to the rear of the store for his gun. Brazile, fol- lowing, called to him to not shoot, as they had no weapons. As Block picked up the gun Bra- zile grabbed Block and held him, to prevent him from shooting. In the scuffle Hudson got the gun and knocked Block down. Block got up, and recovering the gun, shot at Hudson as he was running out, killing him instantly. Emil Bebo came out just then with a Winchester, and shot Brazile in the right shoulder. He handed the gun to a Mexican, telling him to kill Brazile. The Mexican fired five shots at the fugitive but did no harm. His right arm is badly shattered by the first shot. Wilson has not been heard of at the ranch, six miles from Grant’s and it is feared that he too, has been killed. Block is seriously wounded by a blow from the gun.

All the able bodied citizens of Arizona having at different times been under arrest, or been cited to appear and show cause why, they were not implicated in the notorious Wham robbery. We would meekly suggest to Marshal Meade, that Steins Pass, in Grant County, is not far from the Arizona line, and we would enquire in the same spirit, why has this fruitful locality been overlooked? A. J. Cornell has received the contract for 2500 cords of wood to be delivered to the gov- ernment at Fort Bayard, at $3.19 per cord.
