The Tramp Nuisance
Just after the arrival of the mail at George-
town last Monday there appeared in the post-
office a young tramp with his right arm in a
sling. Upon the arm was a sore evidently from
a burn, partially concealed by bandages. He at
once proceeded to “work” every one present
right and left, finally approaching Mr. Carr,
our new magistrate, who after questioning him,
being satisfied that he was an imposter, ordered
him to desist and to leave town. Deputy Sheriff
Hogan was instructed to look after him and
prevent his working the town. Shortly after he
expended a dollar at the bakery and Hogan
followed him across the gulch to an unused
stone cabin, where five healthy, hearty, lusty
tramps were with the beggar discussing their
noon-day meal. The officer warned them to
move on, but told the young fellow with the
sore arm to call upon Dr. Carson, who would
examine and dress it for him. It is needless to
add that he did not call. By 4 p.m. the last of
them had departed down the gulch toward the
Mimbres. One offered to dispose of a ring. May
it not be that the petty thieving and burglaries
in Silver City recently are properly chargeable
to this gang?
If the officers in every town will send them
along immediately upon their appearance as
was done in this case, the tramp nuisance will
soon be a thing of the past.

Mayor Fleming, who recently returned
from Solomonville, Arizona, states that the feel-
ing there is very strong against the cowboys
who killed Sol Luna’s sheep herders. Fleming
says there is no question but what it was an
unprovoked and cold-blooded murder. All of
the men were shot in the back, and powder
burned, which is a mute contradiction of the
statement made by the cowboys that the Mexi-
cans fired on them first. The circumstances go
to show that the men were sitting around their
fires, when they were assassinated. Two of the
bodies had not been found, but the cowboys said
that they were all killed but two boys aged 7
and 9 years. The boys were spared, and finally
made their way into Camp Apache almost dead
with hunger, fatigue and exposure. The sheep
were 18 miles from the ranch of the Chiricahu
cattle company, and were being moved towards
Springerville. If there is any law in Arizona
these murderers will be hung. They are worse
enemies to a country than the Apaches. If jus-
tice is not done in this matter the officials of
Graham county will be to blame, and capitalists
will be pretty apt to give that county a wide
berth in the future.

Capt. French, manager of the W. S. Ranch
on the Frisco, met with a painful accident last
week. He was thrown from a bronco, sustain-
ing a fracture of the left arm.
