Winner Of tho $500
Sweepstakes.

The visitors at Fleetwood Park, besides the cham

Bhiinger. VI these the latter was withdrawn.
The results Of these events Afforded much diver
sion ana caused vast amount OF speculative inte-
rest. The llly race was won by Fr1sky Jane In one
heat, the Independent colt being distanced. Mr..
Beck did not start his PAGER, as after he Lady
Emily on the track ne acted ike sensible man,
and, rs did Captain Scotps coon, "c0me down. at
once. As the match was made play or pay, the
owner Of Lady Emily had an easy JOB on the pre-
misses. She 0gged around the track for the forfeit
making the mile in 2:52 The third event proved real
merit. as the horses were closely Matched and 1t

Another Visit from "Friendlies. .

The people of Prescott and vicinity were, this week, l" favored " with another visit from Indians protesting to bc friendly, and of the Moqnis tribe
 It is almost needless for us say that our citizens --one and all-arc opposed to this thing of allow ing professedly friendly Indians to come in here, spy around, and depart whenever they please How are we 10 know whether they are Moquis Navajos or Apaches and, even were they Moquis what thenY The Moquis and Apaches are friendly; the Apaches are our deadly enemies, and as both Moguis and Apaches of the same race
 the Indian-it Is but fair to presume that they sympstbtze with each other. Then, again, these visits of 1" friendly" Indians have in almost every instance, been accompanied or immediately fol. lowed, by murder or robbery, and, sometimes by both; which fact has impressed the belief upon the minds of our citizens that the Indians who have visited us, under the guise of friendship have had hand in these Outrages. We under stand that General Wheaton has been spoken to on the subject, and that petition, requesting him to put stop to these visits has been presented Co him but he, we told, stated that if the Indians
 in question Moquis, he did not feel disposed to lnterfer with them-ihey being looked upon by Government, as friendly, In an eminent degree He, however, promised to write to the agent of tho Aoquis, and find ont whether or not any of tho tribe have been in the habit of visiting thI, section. Que thing is certain-which is that the recent crimes committed by Indians, In the yicin- hy Of Williamson Valley, were not committed by Apaches but by Indians from the Noub--w wheiher Moqus, Yampais, Wallapaie, Pah-Utes or Navzios, Is lmmaterlai to us, for they all Indiana, and all more or less hostile io whites. There is a way 10 prevent Indians from coming in here, and our citizens appear determined to try it.
