We gather these items from ihe Arizona Citizen of August 90; fa
 Casculo Hernandez, the fellow who agreed to assist in murdering Piedras Negras and wife, has already met with few shots and which wounded him badly. He was shown the hanged men in Tucson, Aug. s, and given 2i hours to leave Arizona, with directions not to return.

 occur again. For several years past, this
 subject has been discussed and practically
 tested without satisfactory results

If they belo to San Carlos, White Mountain or any oth 'h reserve notice could soon be sent to { ie Agent in charge, who certainly would not " slow to get and take his thieves where th A. belong, and, if necessary, use the military n properly punish them.
