 Three prisoners broke jail on the night of the 18th One was Chas. Miller, who was bound over a few weeks since 10 answer to charge of grand larceny. in stealing three horses, the property of James Patterson, beef contractor at Camp Mcdowell. The other two were also in for horse steal ing, and are the same who were arrest ed in Tucson. some two months ago on a telegram from Sheriff Mowry to. the sheriff of Pima county; both Mexicans, named Refucio AlvisO and Manuel Romero. They escaped by cutting the wood from around the staple to which the lock was attached and pulling it. Search was made for them next day but without effect.
 Quite an interesting pugilisIc ex- hibition was the excitement of Satur- day. A prominent lawyer of the place l was employed by an administrator of. an estate to assist him in the settle ! ment, which involved the moving of the fixtures of a Saloon to other apart menls preliminary to a sale of the same at auction. During the perform . ancc of the work, a man named Barton, who was in the employ of the deceased before his death and to whom . some money was due for wages, told the lawyer that he believed he was try ing to rob him of his wages, and that the fact of his being an officer, and his .Barton's) finances being low was all | that saved his from a whipping. The lawyer there upon informed him that it ! would not cost him a fine, if he whip ped him. So at it they went in good . Heenan style, and kept it up for half m hour, when the lawyer becoming that pluck was not the only | essential to pugilistic success, "squeal- ad and the fight ended. A prominent was invited to combat by the same man, early in the day, by some hard names and few messengers from the land of muscle, but thinking discre- ion the better part of valor he "squeal- ed, "at the outset and sought the thresh- old of his own domicil. 4 heavy rain fell Sunday night. This has been an ex- wet Fall. The old res dents say that more rain has fallen his year since harvest than ever be- 'oIe at the same season. Every one except the candidates are blowing, and m immense acreage of barley and wheat will be planted this Fall
 Dances are of weekly occurrence, md weddings "tambien." We had a wedding a few evenings ago. which was in every particular a splen- lid affair. And while we the young men md bachelors of the Valley hereby protest against the citizens 1f Tucson coming here and taking lway our fair ones, we are bound to give Mr. Joseph PhY credit for the generous manner in which he treated IS, favoring one and all with an invita- ion tO come, see and eat; winch we III did, partaking of rare sight, a wedding which will be re- as long as a pleasant recollec- ion fingers, and of supper which makes our mouths water every time. NC think of it. RoLYAN.
