SILVER KING.

Early Hubbard has sued in the Fifteenth District Court for dissolution of the part nership subsisting between him and Is. W. Reagan, the co-defendants being the Silver King Min no Company and James NJ. Barney. The complaint sets forth that Hubbard and Reagan were the sole owness of half inter- ests in the Silver King mine, in Pinal eoun- ty, Arizona, one of the richest mines Tn the whole territory. Last spring the two came to this city 10 organize company winch was done. Ex-Governor Woods of Oregon and Utah. being made President, and J NJ Bar ncy. B. W. Reagas, c. l.. Woods, E. j. Bar ney; and w. H. Booth, Trustees Hubbard was an uneducated man and little acquaint- ed with commercial transactions, and alleges that Began induced him by dsceiving repre- sentation to consent to allowing Board ot Arbitration to settle certain disputes which had arisen between him and Began. This board all friends of Reagan, and wined and dined by him. came to the conclusion that Hub. bards title to the quarter interest of Sl, ,oO0,- 900 mine was worth only 5000, and Hub bard, believing the thing to be on the square, accented Reagan's notes for the amount. His eyes being since opened, he brings the suit for dissolution of the partnership; an equal division of their mining interest; to vacate and set aside the arbitration and a. ward mentioned; to annul the deeds which he was induced to sign misunderstandingly, as alleged to cnjoin Began during the pen dency of the action from disposingof or dis posing in any way the partnership property; to enjoin the Silver King Mining Company from issuing any stock to Reagan, and to enjoin Barney paying out any funds presum- ed to have been placed in his hands by Rea- gan. Meantime restraining order has been issued by the court. The case is set for ar gument on the motion for permanent in- junction on the 18th instant. A strong point claimed for the plaintiff is that neither under the laws of this state nor of Arizona can questions as to the disposition of real prop erty be determined by arbitration in that way.-S.

 A great local excitement is raging here over ''dry washing machines MT. J. Tow ell arrived here about two weeks ago with one of those machines, and has since then heen making grand success, saving the finest four gold. Mir. Powell states that ne can rnn through g tons day with the assistance of three men, and clear $iOO per day from ground that will prospect three cents to the pan. Mir. Powell is about to have several more of these machines con structed. X great many companies are DC ing formed to go iu;o the dry-washing ma chine business.
 If is claimed that from Rich Hill to the Uassayampa. a distance of ten miles, the whole plain. gulches, arroyos, canyons, bars and hills, will pay five cents to the pan UP to the present time water has been the great desideratum in the district.
 The placer-ground being located so rapid ly. in twenty acre tracts, the miners ot the district held a meeting and cut down placer claims to 900 feet square, thus giving every body show.
 Mir. McBain, who at present IS building Mir Partridge's new hotel on Antelope creek is about to take contract to make large number of those dry washing machines. He has one of his own in company with some others at Prescott. which he intends to have removed tO this place at once. When few thousands of those machines are at work here and they accomplish half whstis claim ed for them, it will make things lively, fol already after dark can be heard from th, bluffs which surround the southern spur o Rich Hill.

This Is quite enough to tnov about the whole matter; we Will not have S mail. as this contract could not De sub let for less than $5,000 per year. As for the mails up the river we hear that the steamers have refused to carry any more m.ils and the contractor refuses 10 carry mails for this place, so we are without mails and if we cannot get all that is due VIC had beter have none.

The California Press have started report to the effect that court of inquiry has been asked for on the part of the military for the purpose of showing, to the Indian De- pertinent and the whole world. that Gen. eral Kautz has done his whole duty as com mander of the Department of Arizona. It is said the court of inquiry is to convene at the instance of s request made by General Mcdowell who knows that General Kautz has done his whole duty, is an honest eff cient officer, hence he wishes to see him vindicated from attacks such as those, of groundless nature, made by Cum and the Ring. Should the court convene the acts of Cum will undoubtedly be shown up in their clear light as they certainly ought to be.

Surrender Of the City.

In days of old when cities and strong
holds were besieged and the inhabitants
thereof felt too weak to oppose the APP
preaching powers. they armed messen-
ger with the white flag of truce and sent
him to tho outer gate to formally surren-
der the city and the keys to its iron gates.
80 that its invaders might enter and take
possession without spark of hostile op-
position.
We all take An honest, patriotic pride in
our city and the bravery of it's people.
They have never showed signs Of lacking
valOr before. Indians Of the most hid
eous character have been met and van
Tuished. Great dueis have been fought.
Surrender was never dreamed of.
But even as the great CITY of Jericho
was captured by the blowing Of rams
horns. SO was the mighty City of Dodge
captured by single man
Last Wednesday it was rumored that
Capt. LOWS was approaching from the
east In order not to excite undue alarm,
secret council Of the heretofore unterri-
fed was held. in order to ascertain the
yOx popui. Nothing is known of the
proceedings of that conference except
that surrender was agreed upon. 1t is
said that powerful men trembled. Even
Hungerford lost his grip. Then it was
that the pale grey look came over his
face and the steele gray look in his eye.
and his chin quiyered. But there was no

l Bloody Prize Fight in Dodge

Nxeys
On last Tuesday morning the champion
prize fight Of Dodge City was INDUCED in
by Messrs. Nelson Whitman and the noted
Red Hanley. famiIiarly known rs the red
bird from the SOUTH An indefinite rumOr
had been circulated IN sporting circles
that fight was to take place, but the
time and place was known only to . select
few. The sport took place in front Of the
Saratoga. at the silent hour Of 4 80 m.
when the city police were retiring after
the dance hall revelry had subsided. and
the bellies who reign there were of duty.
Promptly at the appointed time the two
candidates for championship were at the
joint. Col. Norton acted as rounder
up and whipper-in for both fighters. while
Bobby Gill ably performed tho arduous
task of healing and handling and spOngiDg
of. Norton called time and the ball
opened with some fine hits from the Shout
der. Whitman was the favorite in tho
pools. but Red made q brilliant effort to
win the champion belt. During the forty
second round Red Hanley implsred Norton
to take Nelson of for little while till he
could have time to put his right eye back
where it belonged. set his Jaw bone and
have the ragged edge trimmed of his ears
where they had been chewed the worst.
This was against the rules Of the ring, 80
Norton declined, encouraging him to bear
it a. well as he could and squeal when he
got enough. About the sixty-first round
Red squealed Enthusiastically. and Whit
man was declared winner. The only
injuries sustained by the loser in this fight
were two ears chewed of. one eye bursted
and the other disabled. right cheek bone

teeth knocked ont one jaw bone mashed.
one side of the tongue chewed of. and
several other unimpOrtant fractures and

this did not at the time have in his minds

Tho prisoner, Mr.. James Dalton. had
been arrested by a police officer and

relief. Bail failed to come. but Mr.. Cry
den. with deep feelings Of compassion
at the idea of Dalton's having to spend
the night in such an uncanny place as the
cs.lab0ose, consented to take the matter
before the Probate Judge without promise
of reward in either gold or scrip. A writ
Of habeas corpus was issued. and the case

THE CONVENTION.

Elsewhere we give report of the
County Convention held on Tuesday
last. We have not time this week to
speak of the ticket in detail, but shall
endeavor to do SO hereafter. It is
claimed that Of the eight nominations
made, four are Ring nominations and
four are Peoples candidates, making
it an even thing. All the nominees
are Worthingt0n men with the excep-
tion of Capt. Mills. Agreeably to what
we have always urged as the fair and
right thing to do, we labored to give
several more of the prominent nomina-
tions to candidates from the country.
But the People must for this time be
content with half loaf, looking to
the business of their cause and the fu-
ture to give them a complete triumph.
Several of the most bitter members
of the Worthington Ring have been
laid aside; several of the pet candida
tes were defeated at Tuesdays Conven-
tion, and if the anti-Ring element had
done one-fourth the work which the
Ring did, and has been doing all Sum-
mer, there would not have been a SIN
gle Ring candidate nominated.
Will the desperate Worthington Ring
learn from this Convention the lesson
that they cannot have it all their own
way; that men must be allowed to diff
er from them in politics without being
bounded, prosecuted and pursued; not
only in politics but in everything else;
and that, sooner OF later, their evil will
return upon ''their own pates" and
that their imprecations will ''come
home to rOOst?''
