match in his adventurous field, and fell u la.
cerated victim before its terrible anger.
While on an excursion few DAYS since to
Grand Lake, at ths mouth Of the south fork
of Grand river he spied some deer. Taying
no arms save one navy revolver, he endeavor-
ell by stealthy steps to approach near enough
TO kill cite. Meantime. his faithful dog went
skirmishing amongst the underbrush near at

ed by an immense cinnamon bear, in tower
ing rage at having the abode Of her young
and thriving cubs thus rudely invaded.
Making for Jim with flashing eyes. extended
arms and gnashing teeth. Jim turned from
his pursuit of the deer to his irate enemy and
fired four shots :nto her. On she came erect
and terrible, minding no more than if they
were pebbles throwa by gentle hands. on and

by his left arm she crushed it at a blow.
Another dash from the pistol and another
ball went into her prodigious body. Then
came the final struggle. Bruins next blow

LAWYERS. ATTENTION !-One of the oldest
questions ever submitted to lawyers is now
puzzling those of Hartford Comm 1t seems
that a man who recently died there left a
widow, chldless, but expecting shortly to
become a mother. By bis will he provided
that if the expected child should prove TO be
a boy, two-thirds of the property should go
to him and one-third to the widowed mother.
If, however, the child proved to be girl,
only one-th7d of the estate was to 60 to her,
and tw o-thirds to the mother. The result,
of course, was awaited with an interest
even greater than that usually bestowed upon
such events. The result is. the widow has
become the mother of twins "a boy and a

Duffield's Character Noticed.

10He Editor Of The ArisOna Citizen: AL
low me, through your columns, to say
that the letter published by Milton B.
Duffeld, in The Arizonan of last week,
was written by me under an entire
misconception of his character, derived
from his own representations of him
self, made to me during our brief ac-
quaintance in 1868. And I am truly
sorry to have become convinced, that
not one characteristic, which that let
ter ascribes to him, was possessed by
this man then or since.
1t required this last effort of his
effrontery to show that there is in the
whole world, one convicted bruiser
and felon, who could thus publish an
old letter, enormously ascri bing to him
q single virtue. AS wei might the
piltering scullion publish an errone-
GUS letter of recommendation from
his master, after he had stolen his
property.
This mans idiotic vanity and love
OF notorlety, may perhaps explain the
moral phenOmenOn-the stocks have
been abolished, because there are so
many men like him, that dread the
obscurity of quiet more than to be
pelted with rotten eggs and excre-
mentS.
Ii this miserable, blatant driceler will
only descend" from his imaginary
elevation, and read The CITIZEN of this
week, he may perhaps learn without
further lessons from me, that his
character, like another thing of home
" but proverbial notoriety, will not be
improved by stirring

Still More Indian Murders.

A. T. Jones, employee Of Messrs
Kinds u Hooker at Infantry Camp,
writes on the 10Th as follows:
/ have bad news to communicate in
this note. The Indians jumped the
herd on the 18th, AID killed both herd
ers, aud took their rifles and pistols.
They also captured one mule.
They did not get away with any OF
the cattle, as we were on them toe
quick. No Indians were killed that
we know of. Later in the day, the
Indians fired on the sentinels around
the Post.
Mr.. Speedy, who arrived with this
letter on Thursday, says these two
make five men killed near Infantry
Camp within ten days.
With the incontestable facts staring
every one in the face, that the Indians
at Camp Apache have recently muir
dertd an inoffensive man and at latest
dates were stripped for fight, that
murders by Indians are alarmingly
frequent near Infantry Camp north,
and Tubac far south of the ella, will
the Department Commander longer
permit the murderers to be fed by sup
plies purchased with the people,
money? 1t the Washington authori-
ties insist Oh continuance of this pol
icy of feeding and clothing the savage

man should ash to be relieved from
its enforcement, and thereby do him
self great honor. He has no sympa-
thy with these murderers. and would
kill them all if he could, and why not
stop feeding them?
