 BERRY, the stage robber who es- capped from Fort Whipple a few weeks since after long confinement, was accidentally captured few miles north of town Friday night. His cap ture was brought about as follows: Shortly after the escape of Berry and Vance, Mir. Hudson, living south of Prescott, had fine horse stolen, and started in pursuit of the robber, who was making south. At New river the trail left the road and Nr. Hudson se- cured the help of another man, nam- ed Biggs. On reaching the Verde the pursuers disagreed as to the course of the thief, and separated. Riggs, judging from the trail that the horse thief was lost and wandering, took the direction of PheniX and about Friday noon overlook Berry, who was heading for PheniX. At night they camped at the first ditch and Biggs, offering as an excuse that he would get some barley for the horses, went to a farm house and ask cd assistance. The only occupant re fuse, it being dark and he not know ing but some trap was set to kill him, but he came to town and informed the officers who went out and made the capture, and on arriving in town he was identified as Berry. 4 reward of $500 was offered for hi. capture. Vance, his partner, is stil at large.
 WE learn that a special cOntrac has been let to run daily mail be tween Maricopa wellsi and PheniX This gives the Salt River Valley daily connection with the great Souther overland mail route. We have no vet learned who has got the new rOut, but it is probably the firm of Keren < Griffith, which has also the new route from Phenix to Prescott, vi; Gillette. The Phenix proposition O getting the present stage line swun. off at Burk's station, and swung bacI at Florence, was not practicable. Tn railroad and other powerful infuen ces would have been against it.-.Sn mel.
