that Mr.. Wrightson went to Arizona about a
year ago, in the employ of the Santa Rita
Southern Mail Company, and at the time of his
death Sunday evening, August 14th) was in
charge Of the company rancho at Tamacacori.
On the afternoon Of his assa ssination, the
herder reported several of the animals missing,
and Mr.. W. deemipg it his duty to recover
them, rode in company with the herder to seek
them. He was fully armed, but fell into an
ambuscade and was lanced in several places be-
fore he could have had time to draw his pistol.
Tho object of the assassins was plunder, and as
they riAed his pockets there is reason to be-
lieve that they obtained considerable property.
Mr.. Wrightson had gained the respect of those
who knew him by his faithfulness in the dis
charge Of his duties, his generous hospitality
to the way-farer that passed his door, and his
unainching courage in the defense of his
friends. We sympathise with his family and
friends in their sudden and severe bsreays.

CITY MATTERS.
Important Arrest.

SEVERAL TRUNKS OF GOODS, SUPPOSED TO HAVE
BEEN STOLEN, RECovERED.--A man named
Hines arrived in this city on Sunday last on
the Louisville mail-boat, having in his possess
sion some six or seven large trunks, filed with
goods. He Immediately sought an express
man, and had his trunks conveyed to hotel
On Front street. From his strange maneuvers,
Officers Mormon and Glib wero of opinion that
oil was not right. They sought an interview
with Hines, who told several different storicS
as to his business, where he obtained his goods,
&C., which confirmed the suspicion of the off
GERS that he was anything but an honest man.
He was accordingly arrested and confined in
the Hammond street Station-houso, on suspi-
cion. His goods were also taken into custody
and removed to the Station-house From all
tho circumstances connected with this case, the
officers are of opinion that heavy robbery has
been committed in some one of the Western
States, and that Hines was endesyoripg to
secrete the stolen property. He will bo re-
tanned in custody until the matter is investi
gated. We we're unable to ascertain the char.
acter Of the goods, as the trunks were all
fastened.

STAMPEDE AT THE COUNTY
JAIL,
Escape OF Three Prisoners.
THEIR RE-ARREsT.

About half.past nine o'clock last evening,
as Jailor Shockley and his assistants were in
the hospital apartment, attending to man
named Myers, who was laboring under fit
of remens, he was startled by the barking of
the Jail dogs in the yard. He Immediately
rushed out and received the intelligence that
"thc whole chain-gang were about to escape"
He ran to the door leading from the gang
cell into the main yard of the Jail, and found
that the bolt of the lock had been pred
back, and that three prisoners, named Daniel
Appleton, A. B. Curr and Charles Wise, had
effected their escape by scaling the wall.
They were Immediately pursued and re-
captured within short distance of the jail
Mr.. shockley informed us that few mo-
ments later the whole gang would have es-
capped. No blame can be attached to Mr..
Shockley or his assistants. The prisoners
were replaced in their old quarters and
heavily ironed.

tools were slipped into the jail through the bars to
aid prisoners to make their escape; that saws and
other implements had been so given to the inmates;
and that he (the chairman) hoped no one would OBJ

clarng Covington bankrupt that her paper had gone

Who DID IRA dog with tin can tied
to his tail was seen, yesterday afternoon,
coming out of the Ninth-street Station house.
The frightened animal made his way to
Western row, thence north on Western-row
to the Mllcreek' house-perhaps. Now, the
question is, who tied that can to that dogs
tail? We will watch the records in the Po-
lice Court to-day for an answer. Some say
it was the police, while others say it can not
be possible that they would be guilty of so
cruel an act.
