Samuel Abrahams, of Clifton, visited Dem-
ing last week to be initiated into the mysteries
of the royal arch degree of Masonry.
Arrested In Phoenix
On the night of January 4th last, two
masked men went to the ranch of Augustine
Jerques, three miles below Solomonville evi-
dently for the purpose of robbery or murder,
or both. It was known that Jerques had con-
siderable money and it was supposed that he
kept in with him at his house or somewhere
about the premises. Luckily for Jerques when
the assassins came to his house several neigh-
bors were there ; also his sister and niece were
stopping with him. The highwaymen attempted
to enter the house but on seeing several persons
there they opened fire with six shooters, shoot-
ing Jorques twice, the first ball entering about
two inches to the right and above the navel and
coming out in the small of the back; the second
shot making a flesh wound in the shoulder, the
ball passing through the arm but not breaking
the bone. Sheriff Olney and posse of Graham
county went to the scene as soon as the news
reached town, but could not trail the men
farther than the road, where the tracks indi-
cated that they had gone in the direction of
Layton.
