DESTRUCTION OF FISH.

II is to be regretted that Arizona
has no law for the protection of fish
in her rivers. Almost daily we sec
great loads of fish coming into Pho
nix from the Salt river that have been
caught by the use of Giant powder.
No secret is made of the fact what
ever The worst feature of the mat
Ter is, that not only are fish fit for the
market taken, but the fry are also
destroyed and large quantities of fish
considered too snail to trouble with
arc left TO decay. The river has been
nicely stocked with e,ycellent fish, but
is being rapidly depop.'lated, and a
couple of years more viii leave that
assautifnl stream without a single
fish, if some means are not found to
check this wanton and wicked de
struction of its fnny inhabitants
We say wicked because 1t IS de
structIen of food, unnecessary and
uncalled for. The time has be ell
when the river would furnish and ex-
cellcnt breakfast of fish for every ia
bic now in the valley during the en-
fire fishing season. In short it has
contained great abundance OF fish.
Are there no means by which this
abuse can corrected until the next
Legislature meets? Have our Board
OF Supervisors no Jurisdiction in the
matter?

EX-DISTRIG"r ATTORNEY
NATLOEs-

We notice certain Of our territorial
exchanges troubling themselves
about the case of cx-district attorney
John Z. Naylor, of this county, and
whose case came up at the last session
of the district court. 1t strikes Us
that if our contemporaries had read
the issue of the HERALD of April 80,
they would know as much about the
matter as We do. However, in or
eer to- givo-a more satisfactory idea of
Ike matter, we connect the various
events of the case, as they have oc-
CURED from time to time and the
facts so far rs we have been able to
ascertain them. Mr. Naylor was
elected Fast fall to he district attorney
for Hie county Of Maricopa and
entered upon ths discharge Of the
duties of that Office january 1st.
Added to the regular duties of dis
trict attorney are those Of tax cole ct
or. The bonds reduired as attorney
arc 81 900 and as collector s., OOG,
but this latter bond had not been
given. On the morning Of April 4th,
8Ir. Naylor, who resides some miles
out of town, came in and reported
that he had been robbed the proceed
ing night of some $4,000, about
$4,000 Of which belonged TO the
county, being taxes collected by him;
and we believe this was the report
made to the county on the following
Monday, which was the regular dav
for settlement between the collector
and the co0nty.
At the session Of the district court,
which Immediately followed, two in
dictments were found by the grand
jury against the district attorncy;
one for failing to pay over TO the
treasurer of MaricOpa county money
belonging to the territory of Arizona,
and one for failing to pay over to the
treasurer of MarcOpa county money
belonging to the. county of Maricopa
In the meantime, pending the
charges and these indictments, Mr.
Naylor had refused to act as district
attorney, and the Office was filed by
appointments for the term of court.
The trial came off and Mr.. Naylor
pleaded guilty to both indictments,
was fined $3.50 or 125 days in the
county jail, and was dismissed from
his office.
This is the long and the short of
the story 20 lar as we know As %
"beliefs" and popular opinion" on
this subject, it is not our province 10 .
give expression to them as facts. They
have not yet been proved to be facts, /
and it is possible that we should do /
great injustice i'll giving them There J
is a good Old maxim Of the law
which it is always safe to stand by,
which is that a man is always pre-
sumed to be innocent till he is proved |
to be guilty. We do not consider it /
the duty of tho HERALD to haul any
one over the Goals at Ibis present /
stage of developments III the matter.
and therefore propose 10 reserve our /
fire till the proper iaUment

THE COTTAGE SCHOOL,

Miss Salle Shapard resumed work at
the Cottage School last Monday, after
giving the children holiday during
Christmas week, and will continue
without intermission till the LIST OF
June. The Winter session Will close on
Friday, 10th inst, and the Spring sea-
sion will open the next Monday, 18th.
Those who enter pupils now will be
charged only from the beginning of the
Spring term. And it will be best for
parents to do this, for then the school
can be thoroughly organized and CLASH
fed ready for regular work from the
first day. The teacher deems IL hardly
necessary after the foregoing announce
ment to correct the baseless rnmOr that
she would abandon her little school
and teach hereafter In another school.
There was never the slightest founda-
ton for such report. She has never
even thought of doing so. Her school
is a pleasant and reasonably profitable
one TO her, and having labOred hard 20
establish it she has no idea of abandon
ing it-especially while her patrons are
as kind and prompt as they have been
heretofore. She desires to express her
heartfelt thanks to her patrons for past
favors, and to solicit continuance Of
the same. She promises 70 relax none
Of her efforts Ia the future 70 teach their
children as they should be taught.
Those who have never patronized the
Cottage School are referred 20 any or
all Of its former patrons for infOTma-
ton as TO the progress of their children.

MIR. EDITOR The name and

of your readers as almost sacred
IL takes them back to their sweet
childhood. when the blest ami dea:
old school days were so joyously
spent there, and when father, moth
er, brothers, sisters, were an unbro
ken circle, and all was mirth
and glee, but now they are led
with the poet to ask,
"Oh, where arc the friends Of my youth,
Where have those loved ones goneP'
Many have gone over the hills and
far away, and some, the loveliest of
the lovely, have been laid in this
hallowed spot. Is it any wonder
then that we cling to it with an al
most idolatrous devotion?
Friends have been scattered like roses IN
bloom,
Some to the bridal, and some to the tomb.
An effort is being made to finish

suavity, kind care and attention,
bestowed upon all, rendered them
pleased and with all the world. For
the bride md groom we wish
Happiness to sparkle in their cup Of youth,
And the bright hours on joyous wings ad-

together and puts Rufe over them.
Your sweethearts here will miss you. Rufe =
But as to that you need no proof
We all shall miss your dash and rattle,
But none will miss you like your cattle.

And bring sweet comfort TO your hogsI
Your mules will dance and joyous leap

The enormous and increasing ex
pense of supporting thieves in idle
ness is making many converts tc
the lash system of punishment fol
such criminals. The Washington
Post thinks a good work-house
with plain food and plenty of EN-.
ployment, and withdrawal of IA
lions from those who will not per
form a reasonable amount of labor
is not a bad system. Idleness
should never be permitted in able
bodied criminals. They should be
compelled to earn what their care
costs.-I Athens Post.
