vIo1ATINa PosrorF1oE LAWS

VIOLATING POSToFFICE LAWS
Probably the greatest excitement
which is created now-a-daysamong our
people--especially the ladies-is caused
by violation of one of our postal
laws. This law provides for the send
ing of packages and parcels through
the mails at very low rates, but ex-
cludes all written matter. Half a
dozen words, or even less, enclosed in
book, a parcel of worsted work,
box of confectionery or flowers, or in
any other like manner, makes the
whole package liable to letter postage.
1t is not very comfortable to receive o
small parcel, generally of exceedingly
trifling value, and be obliged to pay
fifty to seventy-five cents OH it, be-
cause it contains line or two of wri-
ting. Several decisions have recently
been made regarding writing, pencil
marks, etc., which should be needed.
We hope that those who have not
heard of the law excluding all writing
from packages sent by mail, will now
take notice of the fact - and the
thoughtless will also spare their friends
much annoyance by remembering it.

TUESDAY morning a nne looking four. In-hand team was refined up before inc Cosmopolitan Hotel and the occupants of the carriage aligh ted. At first we were at a loss to know just who the parties might be, but upon reflection we concluded that MT. H. c. Hooker was just the kind of a man to "sport such style" and as he was expected to arrive from Yuma we gave him the benefit of the doubt and an- nounced his arrival. Our Judgement of human nature was correct-that was Mir. Rockers team, as we were assured by the owner himself short time after. when we met him on the street looking fresher and younger than ever. AfIer f. few months sojourn in Oakland he IS back again to his ranch aud business. He brings with him some fine blooded horse-fiesh. of which mention has before been made in these columns. Mir. Hooker has done Arizona a great service in introducing high grades Of stock, and he certainly deserves to profit by lt. MT H. is an old resident of Arizona and probably will have a home and interests here as long as be lives, as he finds the climate of the coast too damp for him. Mir. s. A. Ames accompanies Mir. Hooker on this trip, and the party left for Sierra Bonita ranch early Wednesday morning.

Bartholomew thinks these are the same parties. or some Of the same parties who committed the robbery before on the desert. The night Mir. R. took the S3O,OOO over the desert these men rode ahead Of the stage about a mile and then turned on one side and dis mounted. AS there were two officers on the stage, both well armed and ready for the fray, the stage was allowed to pass, but Detective B ,rtnolomew Is confident that these men are there for no good pur- pose, and seemed much disappointed that they did not attempt 10 rob the coach that night as they might then have decided whether road agents or detectives should rule the country.
