1891 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 https://archive.org/details/silvercity1891 From the January 1, 1891, Issue of The Enterprise PREMEDITATED SUICIDE Edward Monier, an old barber at Lords- burg, who had been quite ill for some time, finally decided that the pistol route was the shortest way out. Suiting the action to his thoughts, he placed the muzzle of his pistol to his ear and took his departure. The old man was methodical in all his arrangements, going so far as to leave minute directions as to the indivduals whom he desired to act as jurors at the coroners inquest. Quite a serious accident befell Mrs. Pheby, mother of Thos. Pheby, on the Rio Mimbres. On descending a flight of stairs, Mrs. Pheby missed her footing and fell, and besides suffer- ing from severe contusions, broke one of her limbs. Owing to her advanced age — 75 years — the accident may prove to be quite a serious one. The following officers were installed on the evening of the 26th inst., at the Silver City Lodge No. 8, A. F. & A. M., Harry W. Lucas, W. M. ; A. H. Harlee, S. W.; M. H. Twomey, J. W. ; P. B. Lady, Secretary; J. W. Carter, Treasurer; H. Abraham, S. D.; J. Card, J. D.; Geo. D. Jones, M. L. White, stewards; J. E. Plows, tyler. James Swartz, of the Mimbres, spent the holidays in the city.
