From Tuesday's Daily.

4 CowARDLY attempt at cowhiding was made in our city this morning by W. C.. McDermott upon the person of l.. c. Hughes, editor Of the Star. The matter provoking the assault was an article which appeared in the Star last week claiming that the charges at the office Of the County Recorder for recording ca ton notices, deeds, &c., were in excess Of the legal fees. If Mir. Hughes was mis- taken the Recorder could easily have cor rected the matter by simply publishing the text of the law showing the fees al lowed. Mir $. W. Carpenter is the Re corder and McDermott his deputy. This morning about ten o'clock the deputy took up the fight, walked into the Star office with a pistol in one hand and a cowhide in the other. The editor was sit ting with his back toward the door and his first warning was cut from the cow hide accompanied by an order 10 throw

From Thursday,s Daily.

MR. J. NJ. MARTIN, of santa Rosa, Cal
 ifornia. left town this morning for the Dos Cabezas Mining District. where he has recently purchased some valuable mining property. We mentioned briefly yester- day that NIT. Martin had purchased the claim Of Murphy & Walters, a gold-bear ing ledge. varying in width from l5 10 9 feet. and assaying from 80 to $50 per ton in gold with a small percentage of silver. This claim is on the same ledge with the well known Casey mine. The assays made are claimed to give an average or the quality of the ose through the entire width Of the vein. MT. Martin was the first president of the McMillen Mining Company, and we believe still holds that responsible position. This is his second investment in Arizona, and he feels con- ident that it will equal the first in the value of Its productions. IL is now Mir. Martins desire to form a strong corpora ton and put up extensive works for the reduction of these ores. If he cannot make satisfactory arrangements Of this operate the mine on a smaller scale as a private enterprise. We hope Mir. Martin and his associates will be as successful with their new claim as they have been with tue McNIillen property.

MAJOR c. H. VAIL Of Phenix, Is on q business trip to our city and exnresses pleasure at our evident prosperity. Ha also reports business In a fourishino con. dition along the Salt River. The scare n, the Indian Reservation is about over. and settlers are ready 10 record their landed locations as soon as the proposed reserva- ton is restricted to the limits recon- mended by delegate Stevens and endorsed ' by Inspector Hammond. Mir. Vail says the Golden Star Mill and Mining Com pany, are very quiet at the present time, although fine specimens Of ore are con- lstantly being brought from the mine. and the mill is as complete a gold and silver mill as any in the country. The main difficulty seems 10 have been that inc gold is Of such fine quality that it could not be saved by the processes. avaiiable to the company with their present machin- cry. The crops in the valley are in excel lent condition and promise abundant crops. MT. Veil also says that if the new reservation Is made to include only the lands the Indians now occupy there will probably be little cause for trouble, be- tween the reds and settlers for there has always been abundance of water in the Salt River for all the ranchers, and the water question is the only one that need cause a conflict. We are pleased to hear the cheerful reports.

 pistol, threatening death if he made any resistance or defense.
 McDermott was brought before Judge Neugass this afternoon upon the charge .of an assault with a deadly weapon with intent to do bodily injury upon the person Of another. He waived examination. whereupon he was held to answer before the next grand jury and admitted to bail in the sum Of S25OO. We are pleased to see that Judge Neugahs has a proper ap- preciation of the serious nature of this case. We believe in the entire freedom of the press, however we should be very glad to see a law passed providing severe fines and punishments for the reckless publica- tion Of falsehood and libel; but we are de cidedly opposed to this idea Of the whip ping, cutting and shooting Of men for do- ing what is often their unpleasant duty.
