ROMANCE IN REAL LrrE.-A few days
since, says the Richmond (Mo.) Conser.
va,ivc Of the 23d, in the western portion
Of the county, case Of romance in real
life occurred, that proves that truth is
some times stranger than fiction. A man
whom we will call Mr. B., lost bis wife
the past summer, ani, feeling that ut
was hot good TO be alone,' visited a
"eiehbor girl, AMI begged that she would
become Mrs. B. No. 2. The girl, having
another string to her bow, declined, but
informed him that she knew of widow
whose husband had been dead but short
time, who was looking Tor home, and
perhaps she would suit him. Determined
to be mated he started of, saw the widow,
told her his business, aud ere she sun
had sunk to his prairie couch the two
were made one, and he had a wife to pre-.
side over his household treasures. In
Ray county "business is business"

up, halted him and commanded him to
dismount and take off his saddle. lie
complied with their demands, when they
robbed him of his watch, carpet sack aud
saddle, and thirty dollars in money. All
this time one Of the villains held revol.
yer over him, while his confederate dis.
mounted and leisurly appropriated the
saddle and other property. He was then
ordered to empty his pockets, when Mr..
McCu.chen instantly drew q derringer
pistol and shot the outlaw on horseback.
The villain threw up his hands, dropped
his revolver and put spurs to bis horse,
His companion instantly mounted and fol.
lowed. The gentleman then pulled an
other derrinpcr out Of his pocket, but
shot ball through two of the I'm gers oi
bis right hand, while in the act Of cooking

ations Of like nature, probably led to the or
ganizaton Of Arizona as a revenue district
last year.
Some grumbling and complaining Of hard
ship in being compelled TO payment Of Inter
nal Revenue taxes, has been heard, but not
more in quantity or worse in quality than
has been uttered in other districts-and the
larger portion Of faut-finders are those who
pay their only tax through the medium Of
the saloons in instruments Of 25 cts per drink
for liquor.
Since the arrival Of the Collector here, we
have Jared bot little better with reference to
revenue stamps, until recently, than before
his coming, but il is now reasonable to sup
pose that hereafter, we shall not be annoyed
as in the past, from inability to procure
stamps a. they may be wanted, as he has now
an assortment and Processes his intention "a
keep an ample supply on hand.
IL does not appear from the amount assessed
the past year that we shall be able TO build .
penitentisry from the proceeds OF the Inter
nal Revenue during the time mentioned By
the act appropriating the same in the terri
tories for that purpose, yet part Of the ne
cessary funds will be secured and in time
even from a small beginning, it Is 20 be HOPED
that sufficient funds may he accumulated {,

the country by actual observation in the field,

this important district is so sadly in need Of

the Territory which need protection, we ask,
as simple justice, and as positive necessity

that the military force here be immediately
increased.
