MORE TRoUBLE-It will be remembered that
last March man employed as laborer on one
of our railroads By the name of Eugene Christ,
was arrested on charge of larceny of three S.
bills from the person of one Lars Helandar near
the Eastern station in this city. The grand
jury indicted him and he was brought to trial
at the May term of the Superior Court The
jury disagreed and the prosecuting attorney
mol pressed the case. After his release, Christ
returned to New York, where he was arrested
last Thursday for shooting Mary Kelly because
she refused to marry him. She is MOI quita II,
but is the mother of boy of two years old.
Christ, now %, is the father of the child. He is
native of Alsace, but four years ago he was
bartender in Anew York saloon, and boarded
with Mary Kelly's mother

Will be found to possess those qualities necessary to
the total eradication of all bilious attacks, prompt
to start the secretions of the liver and give healthy
tone to the entire system. Indeed it is ordinary
discovery in medical science to have invented rem
edy for these stubborn complaints which develop all
the results produced by heretofore free use of calo-
mel, a mineral justly dreaded by mankind, and &C
knowedged to be destructive in the extreme to the
human system. That the properties of certain vege
tables comprise all the virtues of calomel without its
INJURIOUS tendencies, is now an admitted fact rem
dered ndisputabe by scientific researches and those
who use the Mandrake Pills will be fully satisfied
that the best medicines are those provided by nature
in the common herbs and roots of the field.
These pills open the bowels and correct all bilious
arrangements without salvation or any of the inju
rious effects ofcaome other poisons. The secretion

Local Whining ARnirs.

Too late last week for publication,
Thomas Gardner came in from the
Trench mine with about three hundred
ounces of silver, one hundred and forty
three of which was the product Of 5G3
pounds of ore He says the prospect
is as good as they ever anticipated
He believes the company will soon be
out of debt and have money ahead-in
fact their debts now amount to but a
few hundred dollars. They are now
taking ore out at depth of one hun
dred and fifteen feet which pays at the
rate of $3.50 per ton. This ore is from
eighteen to thirty-slx inches in width
and the vein between we'll defined
walls, runs from five to six feet.
The best of news continue to come
from the Yellow jacket, and the com
pany has the best gold mining property
in the Territory.
The best of news comes from the
Santa Rita placers. Rains have in
creased the water very much Fred
.G. Hughes is hiring all the men he
can get at $3.50 per day, and we may
look for large receipts Of gold from
that place each week.
Mr.. Urbin Bessard has recently come
from a new placer discovery at the
southern end of the Chiricahua range
but believed to be just over the line IN
Sonora lie and three others recently
found a valley or ravine with abund-
ance of water and at once began to
sink n shaft. Before reaching bed
rock, they found $40 in coarse gold,
and in a ditch just below, found an
ounce nugget. The prospects being
so very rich, Mr.. Bessard and one part
ner came to Tucson for supplies and
left the others on the ground They
say they want no better prospects.
In addition TO the 300 ounces silver
from the Trench, We hear Of $500 in
placer gold being brought in by Mr..
Araiza, and about 500 in another lot
from various points.

Return md Reception Of Hon. Ii. y
stevens.

The Hon. II. S. stevens nnd wife return
ed to Tucson by stage OF Tuesday. a large
delegation OF prominent citizens met them
about eight miles out of town and escorted
them TO their residence on Main street.
There was no attempt to get up dem
onstration, but after it was known that Mr..
Stevens left Florence the previous evening,
many people who had teams decided on
an Informal welcome. and II was indica-
tive OF the general good feeling for him as
a man and officer. He has made a credita'
Die and impartial record, and has more TO
show In the way accomplished actions In
behalf of his Territory than many old and
experienced Congressman.
AS soon as he gets rested and
looks after his private business which
has been somewhat neglected by his alb
sence, he intends TO visit all portions OF the
Territory in connection with his canvass
for reelection. SO far as he is advised, the
prospect OF success Is good, and 1t Is be-
Iieved the people will decide to give him a
second term. Surely hundreds of people
who voted against him before will support
him now, because they have had an op-
portunity to learn that he is earnest aud
honest IN his public actions.

L LOCAL MA TIERS.
AbOus a Couple of Saints.

The feast days OF San Augustine and
San Francisco arc now approaching, and
we think some facts regarding the lives of
these patron Saints would be appropriate
at this time, and have therefore looked
Into the Encyclopedia for them:
Saint Augustine Aurelius, the patron
Saint OF Tucson, was born Nov. I3, S54. at
Tagaste, small town OF Numidia In Afri-
ca, near Carthage. His father, Patricius,
was Pagan nobleman of moderate for.
tune, while his mother, Monica, who was
Sainted by the Church, was from the be-
ginning an earnest Christian, It is said
that her prayers and efforts were untiring
that her son might grow up IN the faith
which she cherished. According TO the
self-accusations IN his book OF confessions.
for many years, Saint Augustine was far
nom leading an exemplary life; but after
listening TO che teachings OF Ambrose,
Bishop Of Milan, he became converted and
was baptised in Easter week, In the year
SS7. He was appointed Bishop OF Hippo.
In Africa, a position he held TO the day of
Lo,lu
year $50. His body was afterward trans
ported 70 Italy aud buried in the Cathe-
dral OF Pavia, but within the present cen
fury bone OF one of his arms has been
returned with great pomp to the church OF
Bona, In Africa, which church occupies
the site OF ancient Hippo. The celebra.
ton Of Saint Augustine opens in Tucson
August 3, Of each year, the day Of the
Saints death.
Francisco, of Assist, the patron Saint OF
Magdalena, Sonora, and founder OF the
order OF Franciscans, was born in Assist, in
llS2, and died near that city October4, I226.
His father Pietro Bernardone, was q
wealthy merchant After passing rather
wild life, at the age OF q he was convert
ed and renounced his right 20 helrship,
dressed himself IN coarse clothing, and
begged in the streets for money TO finish
the church. He frequerted the hospitals,
washing the feet and kissing the ulcers OF
the lepers. His own habits were consistent
with the strict poverty eDjoined by his
rule. He slept on the ground with Il block
OF wood or a stone for s pillow; ate his
scanty food cold. with ashes strewn upon
it; sewed his garments with pack-thTead
TO make them coarse; bathed himself IN
snow 70 extinguish animal passions; fast
ed long and rigidly, and shed tears so
freely that he became nearly blind, and
could only save his sight by dangerous
and painful soaring of the face. He
preached wherever be could find an audi
ence, yet he would never take priests or
ders and contented himself with the hum
spirit ofcontroversy, and inculcated peace
as the spirit which all Christians should
labor TO establish among men.

sheep Growers Encouraged.

During the week, we have conversed
with Gov. Stafford, Charles McGary and
Pedro Aguirre regarding the thou
sands of sheep belonging to them and
under their care. Gov. Stafford recent
ly inspected his sheep in charge of Mr.
George Allison on the Santa Cruz, and
also those of Mr.. Allison, and he says
they look very thrifty and fully be
lieves they have passed through the
necessary accIimatization and hereaf-
ter will be healthy, and says he has the
highest hopes that they will prove very
profitable.
Mr. Charles McGary and his brother
have nearly 1000 sheep on the Sonoita,
and have had them In that section for
nearly a year. During a snow-storm
last Winter, their ewes dropped about
1900 lambs and of. course many old
and young persisted; but Charles IN
formed US this week, that the whole
band was doing we'll and he is satisfied
that with the care they will hereafter
be able to give the sheep, they will re-
tam their present good health. lie is
convinced they ought to be sheared in
Spring and Fall
Mr.. Pedro AguirTe, for the past few
months in charge of the fine sheep
brought to Arizona by Larkin w Carr,
and now owned by Lord & Williams,
came into town few days ago and re
ports the sheep in good order and
health and daily improving, and that
he is not giving them any medicine
but merely taking care to move them
about and give them common sense
care.
But it will be remembered that all
these sheep were more or less sick and
many others died. Perhaps some had
not proper care but it is believed that
fine California sheep must go through
acclimatization with more or less ia
tality, before a permanent healthy
growth is secured. But all the men
named think with their experience
they would lose less sheep in another
importation and bring them to a
healthy condition much sooner; and
they are oil convinced that sheep will
prosper in this county as well as any
place they ever knew.

Theia by a PapagO and Arrest.

Last week Mr. II. c. Hooker bought
and paid SIS for an OK or steer from a
Papago Indian, knowing that the Pa
pages raise and sell cattle Very short
" after the sale, another Papago claim
cd the animal and demanded posses
sion. Mr.. Hooker on the other hand
demanded that the man who sold him
the OK be brought in and also some
proof of real ownership be established
as conditions to surrendering an ami
nal he had bought in good faith. The
case finally got before Justice Meyers.
The Papagos brought in two or three
of their men suspected of the theft
and upon examination, the thief was
detected and something over twelve
dollars of the money found on his per
son, which was recovered and handed
over to Mr. Hooker, who in turn gave
up the animal The thief was sent to
! jail.
This action on the part of the Papa
20 Indians is just what they should be
encouraged to continue, for by such
course they will soon work a needed
reform among themselves and let the
community know just who are upright
and can be trusted. An Indian dis
likes going to Jail above all things, as
we understand it, save perhaps death
