The Battle of the sknnI,s.

Yesterday was an eyentful period on the
 west side of the creek. The skunks ap.
 peared in force at Blakes barn, captured
 that stronghold and held it until nearly
 night fall when the Commander-in. Chief
 withdrew and passing round the premises
 of Judge Rush, established his Headquar.
 ters in the kitchen of C. W. Beach.
 That doughty warrior gathered together a
 mighty army and prepared by strategy to dislodge his scent-ennial shunkship. and if possible, to snnihilate and utterly cemolis sh
 hls carcass. To this end two rows of burn ing tapcrs were arranged on either side of the path leading from the kitchen door to me wood pile, the host with bunderbuss m hand stationed at the corner of the chick en house, and pickets placed on each flank armed with mops, brooms and other fright iuI appliances to prevent the enemy from deiiecting to the right or to the left Every thing being in readiness the kitchen back door was opened and the invader with his flag flying appeared in the opening, surveyed the situation, evidently considered himself an hoporcd guest to be the recipient of so brilliant an illumination and marched boldly ana "lth stately step along between the rows ot lights until he encountered the man with the gun. Here scene occurred which k lndcscribab,e. and we leave the readers imagination to fll uP the details The Su- lgeme moment had arrived, the enemy was in range ot the gun and the gun was cocl ed. all was expectation desire and anxic;v.- would there be anything left of him save bunch Of hair, perhaps his beautiful tail, or would he open his battery and fill the air with an offensive fog that would drive Us all to inc woods! These were mental questions that were soon answered. The sharp shooter was seen running after the enemy up the track between the lights with the muzzle of the gun within n few inches of the tail of his intended victim, snapping at every jump but making no report After the monster had passed through the fence and into the pine woods beyond an examination explain 'd the reason why the gun failed to fire, which was simply that il was not loaded.

Lewis Attempts to Escape.

Last evening", as is customary, the priso- ners were let ont into the jail yard, just be- fore night. for an siring. N. P. PIerce, who had charge of them, told them to come Tn and 20 to their cells. placing himself in the office door to ses that they ali came, and found that ]. A. Lewis, who Is under sen teGce of death. was missing. He immedi- ate'y called to Sheriff Bowers aud told him to attend to locking the cells while he ran round back of the yard fence to see If he had escaped. There he met several people who assured him that no one had climed the fence so it was settled that he was still about the prem ses. Tho next move was to hunt him up. and 1t was discovered that the rope in the we'll was still vibrating, which caused the officers to examine into the cause. and as it was dark Tn the well they let down a candle, which revealed the features of Lewis above the water, while hIs body was submerged and out of sight. The Sherif then commanded him 10 get into the bucket, witch he did. and he was drawn out, and returned to his quarters m the lrson having accomplished nothing more thai, to get an extremely cold bath. and. Tn fact ha wing rather injured than improved his chances of escape. Ii was found that by some means he had got his irons oil, which were supposed to be securely, locked on, and as they arc The improved patent shaekle. it is a mystery how he could have unlocked them without key, or ii he did 1t with a key the plot thickens" as 10 how he got it. No one planes him for trying to get away. We should all do the same un- der similar circumstances if we saw chance for success, but ii will probably not assist him in his application for rehearins or for communication.

From a card ia another place il will bs seen that James Patterson ani the Peck Mining Company are,seemingly gcttingi into a squabble about the right of the latter to travel the road from Big Bug to the mouth of War Eagle gulch, which the former claims as his private property. It appears from the agreement which is set out in the card, thnt contract exists between the parties by which Patterson is to deliver the machinery of the new Peek mill on the mine. Each party to build a certain amount of road Nothing appears in the papers to allow or forbid travel to or from the mine on the road when built. and now Patterson forbids all persons the use of his part of the road until he is done using it.

SOCIAL AT WHIPPLE.-Theo officers of Fort Whippe and their ladies, gave their brother officers and ladies, who are visiting them to- gether with quite a delegation of friends from Prescott, social last evening which was very enjoyable affair. In the early part of the evening the band discoursed several pieces of music. in an excellent man. ner. which they are capable of accomplish ing, as each and every one constituting that organization is master of his profession. Dancing was indulged in after the concert was concluded and at eleven o'clock d splendid lunch was rendered to those pres cnt. after which dancing was again indulged in, and all were we'll pleased with the music, dancing supper and the pleasant meeting of old friends and new arquaintances. A more genial lot of officers or graceful num- Der of ladies, cannot well be found in any place. of equal size, than those of Fort Whipplc. While all are ready at a mo- mcnts notice to march where duty calls them and are ever diligent and watchful of their various duties they believe in enjoying and do so where it does not in terfere with other obligations.

CONE INTO LIQUIDiTfoN.-T The Missouri Valley Life Insurance Company, which has its home office in Leayenworth Kansas, and branch Tn Tucson Arizona, has handed in Its checks. The Citizen prctends to think the Company will settle honorably with its policy holders, but 1t probably knows about as much ot the case as an Apache Indian. The Secretary ot the Arizona branch, Mr. Farley, will do all in his power to protect the patrons of the Company here, but if the Leavenworth managers are playing hogg- Ing game he will probably be powerless to check-matc them. They have no doubt got the money paid in as premiums and it will be pretty hard to get it away from them.
