On the Armagoza river, about forty

some parties. four or five in number,
have located farms. There are quite a
number Of Indians on that stream and
they have looked upon this movement
with considerable Jealousy. About the
middle of the present month, rs we
understand 1t. this feeling eliminated
IN the murder OF one of these settlers,
and a stampede Of the remainder. The
murdered man IL said TO have u NUN.
Der of acquaintance IN this valley, but
unfortunately our informant has for.
gotten his name. This murder, In con.
nectiop with other circumstances. has
created a feeling Of ~unsasiness In the
minds of miners and Others living east

We are indebted to Superintendent
L. F. Shepard for this statement Dur
ing the mouth of March, Belshaw's

he sailed on Saturday for Europe, hay
in his pocket a letter from Secretary
Fish authorizing Commissioner Shultz
to reinstate him.. The New York

facts:
cit is unpleasantly suggestive Of
the mode Of doing business in the State

whom 10 charges appear to have been
at any time directed should be COM
PEELED to travel 1000 miles to protect

II You are Not a Railroad Man,
Don't Try It.

There Ia a good deal Of censure Of
the custom Of jumping off and on the
cars when In motion. 1t Is righteous
condemnation, but 1t is not consistent
when coming from railroad companies.
II they truly desire a reform they must
begin at home, for rs employees will
jump on a train when In motion, ana
persist in doing 1t as gracefully % they
do, an initiative public will be the sui
ferers. People don't jump on a tiain
before 1t stops because they are In a
hurry, but because they have seen a
brakeman do 1t, and have a terrible
dread Of being surpassed. NOW, al

poetry about his motion that he seemed
TO blend with the car. First there were
yellow pants aud then gold leaf and
maroon aud Phillips. There was an
elderly person who saw him do this,
and his eyes g%listened with antlcipa-
zion. He was going to take the West
ern train, and when it came, waited
until fine rate Of speed
was gained, and then raising
his hand and leg. just as he had seen
Phillips do it, aud then looking care
lessly away, just as Phillips did, he
reached out his hand for the rail. and
the next instant Vas trying to push his
head through the platform planks, aud
fighting the air with his heels and mad

A oNE-sIpEp TREATY.

Tho treaty made BY Gen. Howard
with Cochise, seems to bs all right a
far as relates to the protection OF Amer
leans. but particularly one-sided wnsn
spnlied to our Mexican brethren and
our treaty relations with Mexico. IL Is
said that no prohibition was made In
this treaty against raids over the Mex
lean border, but that in fact an open
Ing wal purposely left for such preda-
tory incurslons ; that the subject was
fully discussed between Howard and
Cochise that the former insisted upon
an article especially prohibiting any
raids over the border, while Cochise
strenuously resisted the incorporation
Of such . provision into the treaty, and
finally succeeded In carrying his point.
The treaty cannot last long. 1t Is too
palpably unjust to our neighbors. The
Idea that the Apaches, living on a res
ervatlon provided BY our Government
and supported BY our people, may use
the reservation simply as a rendezvous
wherein to plan and organize raids
upon the people Of Sonora, aud as a re-
treat In case o fpursuit, Ia outrageously
unjust, and violates n Of the first
principles of international law.
The existence Of this treaty puts ou'
Government upon even a worse foot
Ing than the Mexican. II tho people
OF Sonora should come Into American
territory after these marauding saw
ages, we would have far less right to
complain than Mexico In the case Of
Col. Mckenzie, for that power has
often and explicitly denied its recos.
milton Of tho acts OF the Indians and
Mexican bandits on the Texan front,
Ter, while by our treaty we recognize,
tacitly, at least, the right OF the
Apaches to make incursions Into Next
can territory. It is full time that the
Howard treaty should be so amended
As to stop further outrages BY Cochise
and his robbers upon u neighbors In
Sonora. We ought to deal.fairly with
Mexico, II We intend to justify our In
vasion Of her territory after the thiev'
ing Indians aud Mexicaus on the Tex
an border. In the opinion Of any
civilized government, u invasion Of
Mexico will appear totally unjustiaa'
Bile, while the Howard ochiso treaty
stands unamended, and tacitly recog
nizes the right Of n Of the parties
thereto while under the protection o.
our Government, to organize expedi
tions for rapine and pillage upon the
citizens of 81 adjoining and friendly
power. The Secretary Of the interior
should take immediate steps to correct
this injustice. 1t Is beneath tho dig
nifty Of so powerful a people as the
United States.

Butler at $1,000 an acre some weeks

gain, being in the outskirts Of Wash
