 CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY Deputy Sheriff Fraser, of Wickenburg. and Mir. Geo. II. Wilson, of Antelope, arrived in town some time yesterday, on the heels of a some what aged German, whom they and others suspicioned of being the veritable bloody Bender, of Kansas nOtoricty. Calling on us this morning, Mr. Wilson said that the man recently came from California, and, few days ago, arrived at Wickenburg from Tue son and Phoenix. At Wickenburg. his ac- tions were of the suspicious kind, SO much so that gentleman of that place who had photo of old Bender, brought it forth aud satisfied himself that although the suspicious h0mbre was not as tleshy as the photo, there was great similarity between the man and the likeness. This thought was strengthened when the old German left town and spent night in the brush outside of town, from which camping place he soon started for the mountains and, in good time, arrived ct An telOpe, where he played the same sly rule as al Wickenburg. It was at or near this place that he and another tramp, spent a night at house of man who straightway missed small sum of money, which, of course, one or the other of his guests had gobbled. This gave new force to suspicious regarding the German, so Mir. Wilson joined Mir Fraser, and coming up stealthly upon the suspicious looking cuss, searched him but found DO money.
 They then followed him to this place, took bim to the sherIfr's office, where, we believe, he established his innocence of the charge of being Bender or on bender.
 While upon this subject we will remark that Kansas officials have recently published to the world that they have secured old Bender, which statement Is open to doubt, since it is about the 20th one of the kind from these officials.

 Not long since. Mr. L. E. Jewell, assayer of this place, tried piece of rock from the ledge recently found by one of D. Hazards cmployes, not far from Fort, Whipple, which piece gave at the rate of Sl2000 to the ton Work done on the ledge shows it to be quite large and we'll settledn Mother Earth. The orc is peculiar, but rich. Its peculiarity is of a feature to disgust prospectors not well acquainted with gold ore in this immediate vicinity, it being of hard, glassy nature sckly looking at that, despite all such visi- bie signs it shows free gold in places where a prospector from other districts would not deign to look for gold.
