class is not a large one and the mis-
representations have not very num-

the situation fully justitles this effort
to place HIM fairly before the public
He is now The regularly animated
candidate for az office under State
government, soliciting the suffrages
of the whole people of the State. tic

money or friends, and animated by a
single minded desire to earn his tlv'

found himself applying for work at a
well known marble yard. He OBJ

and set manfully to work, chipping
stone alongside of colored brother

HoN. IT. s. STEVENS has been rusticat- ing in Florence since Friday last, and not wilhstanding the extreme hot weather NIT. Stevens seemed as fresh and congo nial as ever. He found his old friends true and made many new acquaintances, who will be strong supporters of his dur ing the coming campaign. NIT. Stevens visit was more of a social than political nature. On his way home from Washing ton he found 1t impractieable to stop at
 Florence, hence after brief rest in Tue son he makes a special effort and takes a special trip to make us a special visit. We appreciate this consideration and honor shown us by our worthy Delegate, and when the fifth Of November comes he will find strong party In this section with no mean influence that will use every honor able effort to secure his reelection. Mir. stevens left for Tucson by Wednesday s coach and next weeK will visit the min- ing camps south. In short time he will return to Florence and from here will make a tour of the Pioneer and Globe districts. A popular and hearty greeting will surely meet him throughout the Ter ritory.

MIR. H. c. Hooker. the Arizona cattle king; passed through town on Wednes-
 days coach, and is now on his way to California to visit his family, but selects this season to go with view Of attending certain county fairs to purchase some blooded horses to put on his ranch near Camp Grant. MT. II. has been for nearly a year past, giving his personal attention to improvements on the ranch, and it is to-day, without any doubt, the most vslu- able property of the kind in Arizona. He has increased his supply Of water and inn proved the means Of giving it 70 the stock. He has also found a remarkable strong spring in the mountains on the west side of the valley, and securely fenced 1t with several acres of land, and so curbed the surlng as to raise the water several feet above the ground. Here he will plant an orchard of choice fruit. Mfr. IT. is thus surrounding himself with wealth and Iuxuries and he deserves both.

IN rural district of Forfarshire, a young plowman once went courting on Saturday night. In vain he racked his brain for some interesting topic be could call up no subject at all suitable for the occasion-not one sen tence could he utter, and for two long hours he sat on in silent despair The girl herself was equally silent; she no doubt remembered the teaching of the old Scotch song, "Men maun be the first to speak," and she sat as patiently regarding him with demure surprise. At last John suddenly ex claimed: Jenny, there is feather on yer apron" Iwudna ha'e wondered if there had been two" replied Jenny, " for I've been sittin' aside 6 goose la nicht"

Indian News.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1s.-A La Grande, Oregon, dispatch says the hostiles yesterday, and are now return. ing back on the trail by which they came. The cavalry under Col. For sythe are close on their trail
 A Baker City, Oregon, dispatch of the 18th instant, says the Umatilla In dians under Forsythe struck the hostile camp last night about two miles and a half from Stark's ranch, on Daly road. killing seventeen warriors, capturing twenty-five women and children and sixty or seventy head of horses. The hostiles are much demorallzed, and captive squaws report that they are breaking into small bands, with the evident intention of fleeing to Weiser and making their way to Bannock or the buffalo country. Last evening Neg Perces scouts under Lieut.. Williams, accompanied by white scouts belong ing to Col SanfOrd's command, went into camp on North Powder river. While sitting around the camp fire all donned in citizens clothes, a man named Haines, who had seen the party enter the timber, fired two shots into the scouts from tree about sixty yards distant, killing one of the Nez Perces scouts and mortally wounding another. The Neg Perces are much incensed at Haines, and it was with much difficult ty that the white scouts and Lieut.. Williams could restrain them from killing him at once. The Indians were rendering very efficient services, and now they will scarcely continue longer in the service It is feared this will also drive the Umatillas from the field. At last accounts Haines was under guard and will probably be brought to Col. Sanford's camp.

WE are informed that the reports re garding the extent of damage done al Tucson by the rain-storm on the 11th instant, are generally much exaggera. ted. Gardens were somewhat damaged but not destroyed. The vegetable men continue to bring around every morn. ing the usual quantity and variety of vegetables. Levin's Park grounds al the foot of Pennington street, right in the bottom land, were unharmed. Con. siderable damage was done to build ings, but even in this regard there has been exaggeration. The idea of send ing relief from abroad to aid homeless and foodless citizens of Tucson, seems to have originated in demagogic in stead of charitable mind.
