The publisher Of La Refornta
again issues his circular, the sec.
ond time in English. He reiter-
ates his statement that we held his
forms because we had learned that
he was about to print an article at
tacking the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank. Since La Refornl0
was first issued we have been pro-
foundly ignorant of what has ap.
peared in it, and we have cared
about its contents even less than
we knew of them. We are inter-
ested, however, in receiving our
money for work done, and the lien
laws of California permit us to hold
the forms until we get our pay.

hibits very poor Judgment in CALI
ing public attention conspicuously
to the fact that those who have
money relations with him are very
unfortunate. We would suggest to
him that 1t is a case where the
sporting phrase "put up or shut
up" exactly applies. We should be
only too happy to surrender him his
forms upon the payment of the S37
he owes. and then he can publish
what he pleases, for aught we care.

while now it is devastating mum.
Der. Los Angeles responded nobly
to appeals for aid then and has
made an enviable record in that

confidently appeal to her again for

The Arizona Sentinel, of August
5lst, says: Stage rohbing on the
Tucson road has now become
risky occupation. A large sum of
money has been raised in Tucson,
and arrangements have been made
with the Pima, Maricopa and
Papago Indians for trailing and
captuing stage robbers, dead or
alive. Similar arrangements are
being made here for setting Yumas
on the track of robbers. The road
was never so safe as it is now, and
