Murder Mt the Crook BIine--Min-
ing Hzatters--The HuaIapa In
dams, Etc.
PRESCOTT, May 19.-Last Mon
day afternoon two miners at the
Crook mine. who had been on
friendly terms were drinking pref
ty freely and got into trouble ov-
er a game of cards, when one,
Dan Cannon, shot and killed the
other J. C. Clancy, without any
apparent cause.
Mr.. Darrah and other mining
experts are here and have been
out to Bradshaw to report on the
prospects of that locality. They
all express themselves as being
very favorably impressed with
our forthcoming bonanza.
Advices from Mohave county
say that Mr.. Steen has return from
California and will complete the
mill at Mineral Park as soon as
possible. He has taken the pans
of the old mill at the Park and
Intends using them in the mill at
Greenwood, which will be in run
ming order soon.
Col. David Buel has also return
to the McCfacken mine in good
spirits.
So far as heard from the Hua-
lapais are still peacedble and APP
pear to remain so. Gen. Kautz
has his troops and scouts ready to
assist in the work Of putting them
back on the reservation if it shall
become necessary. He and DIR.
iTonner have hoped that the In
dian Department will consent
that they may remain in the
mountains at least during the sum-
mer months, and perhaps set them
eff Il reservation where they will
be better satisfied than they ever

THE following, which we copy
from the Arizona Citizen of last
Saturday, shows another step in
the right direction, and is a good
example to other portions of the
Territory:
On the 10th inst the first step
was taken in matter of the ut
most Importance not only to Tue
son but the whole Territory. AT
special session the village cOun-
Gil executed a contract with
Messrs. McCoy and Goldberg,
granting them the exclusive pri-
vilege Of supplying Tucson with
flowing artesian well water and
binding them to begin operations
within six months. Without the
usual demonstrations, music and
noise, when some fortunate event
transpires in community, this
step was taken. But how will
1t be on the day that the first
clear, cold column spurts out of
the drill hole and sparkles in the
sun. Carried forward by the de-
vout wish for the success of the
enterprise it seems its first for
tunate issue will be attended with
many days of feasting and merry
making. What a worry il will
be to good judges to pronounce
on the mixing qualities of the
newly discovered f1uio; and what
it would mix with best, or what
effect it would have on mint when
mixed, Problems, which. when
solved, will make many cry,
Eureka" and feel so happy rs to
think themselves on the way to
heaven-or try to send others
there But how few will remem-
Der the true beginning of the
great occasion. Who will recall
the quiet unostenatious meeting
Of our village countil at the Office
of Recorder Meyers, and the gem
tleman who presented the con-
tract for its consideration?

mischief done would not be so
great. But it does not stop there.
1t is fearfully contagious. 1t
makes home hell. We have
known it to break up families and
destroy the peace and concord of
whole neighborhoods and com
munities.
Then stop this miserable habit
if YOU have contracted it, and If
YOU have not contracted it see
that you never do. 1t does you
no good, but only harm. BY it
YOU make yourself miserable and
all around you. If you have en-
countered misfortunes in the past,
fretting will not help you to recall
better days. If you are laboring
under difficulties and disappoint-
ments now, fretting will not help
you out, but only retard your pros
perity. Ifyou indulge in gloomy
fOrebodings as to what the future
has in store for you, it will not
help You to realize your desires,
but will only make you miserable
while you live and render you
unfit for the society of the good
and pure, when you pass in your
checks and go to another sphere.

Extraordinary Case of Suicide.

A painter by the name of Smi.
ley, a native of Vermont, and an
inmate of the Insane Asylum of
Idaho, committed suicide short
time ago in an extraordinary
manner. His keeper had locked
him up for the night, and on re-
firing asked him if he wanted
anything further. The insane
man said he wished to have a
towel, basin and water. They
were brought to him and the
keeper left. On returning next
morning it was discovered that
Smiley, after washing himself.
had tied one end of the towel
around his neck and the other to
the bed-post, and drawing up his
feet had strangled himself to

FRET NOT THY GIzzARD.

The above injunction, which i;
the Twelfth Commandment, we
have chosen for our text on the
present occasion. We have Sc
lected il for Appropriateness anG
its applicability, not particularly
to this section, but every where
where civilized man is struggling
with the great problems of hu
man life and the vast interests
of human society The first NOR.
al law that we have any record Of
is contained in the DecalOgue, OF
Ten Commandments. written by
the finger of God Himself, and
delivered to Moses, amidst the
thunders of Mount Sinai. These
commandments are sublime, and
seem to contain all that the Crea-
tor required Of the creature, and
are as good and binding to-day as
when first delivered.
But it must be remembered that
they were delivered at very
early age of the world, when the
population of what was then
known as the Earth, was very
small, and there were few con.
1icting interests among men. But
when men multiplied with great
rapidity and new seas were found
and crossed and new continents
discovered. then mans interests
began to conflict; trade and COM
merce began to grow and other
and additional laws had TO be
made for the government and
protection of society. Thus while
recognizing the full force of the
Decalogue, two other and very
important commandments were
added, so that it may be said that
the great moral law is composed
of twelve Commandments.
The eleventh is, ''Let every man
mind his oaOR business" and the
twelfth is, fret not thy gizzard."
These commandments have an
important bearing upon the bar
mony and we'll being of society.
The twelfth, which we have tax.
en- as a heading for this article, is
more important than it might
seem at first glance. Reflect up
on the misery that is caused in
this world by .frettNg. Even at
home, in the sacred precincts of
the family circle, its effects are
terrible! 1t poisons the atmos-
phere of domestic life and intro
duceS diScord, rancor and bitter
ness, where harmony and peace
should reign supreme. This
baneful habit, when once indulg-
ed in is a fearfully growing one.
Its p0ssesSor goes on from one de-
gree to another, until there is
nothing bright or beautiful left
in life for him. He sees only the
dark side of everything, and frets
and fumes and growls at every
thing. If you speak of anything
beautiful or commendable in man,
woman or child, or in nature, the
fretful man will check you with
sheer or some diSparaging remark.
He cant see it" No, poor mis-
cradle cuss, he can't. How could
he? His mental and moral vision
have become blunted to all the
better and finer emotions of the
human heart, and he has become
utterly unit for the society of his
fellows. If the evil effects of this
terrible habit of fretting stopped
with him Who INDUCES it, the
