 DsTEIcr CorRT.- Chief Justice Turner com mcnced ihc October session of this court in thi. place. on Monday last The first case called up was that of o. s. Frcdericks us Bowers Bros This suit was instituted by plaintiff for the pur- pose Of ejecting the defendants from a mill site on Granite Creek. above Prescott. which the plaintiff claimed as belonging to his ranch claim. We were not present at tbe trial, and conse- qucntly know very little about it except from hearsay. As near a. we can learn, the counsel for the plaintiff. Chief Justice Turner and Judge
 Howard, and defendants counsel. Captain J. r. IIargraye and Judge Rush, had several sharp encounters, with their mouths, and much bad blood was in circulation among partisaas of the litigants. We have not time this week. to branch out upon this trial, but may do 50 next. IL ended in a verdict for the plaintiff bus we doubt not, the defendants will take an appeal
 MR J. E. DrDLEr. who segregated himself from ! Prescott some time since. has returned here and talks of taking root in this section.
 Mrxc,Ns-In early days, hundreds of Mcxi- cans were to be found in this vicinity. but when the Indians became bad and the light surface diggiugs adjacent to Prescott were coyotcd out by them. they cut stick for the lower country We now see scores of them back again. which goes to show that times here are improving | They work on ranches, in mines. everywhere, and earn more money in one month than they could earn iii Sonora in whole year. They dress well to, and appear to get along first rate with our people.
 l DURING the week, our town was filled with rancheros and miners most of whom came here by request of the Sheriff, to attend upon Court as jurymen and witnesses. A good deal of solid growing was indulged in by many of them. for being compelled to leave their homes just now when corn has to be cut and gathered. We do not blame them for grumbling. as every day spent here by them now, sets them back greatly in more ways than one.
