tCoM,UNICATEp.1

This (Sunday) morning the news comes to us that cx-Sheriff Bowers is dead, and gloom has settled over our whole commit nity. Flags are hanging at half mast, and our new Courthouse wears, for the first time, the badge of mourning for the coun- tvs chief executive officer. Tomorrow the Territorial papers will speak to us of the active life and many virtues of this man, who was go universally loved and respected One who has known him for many years wishes to add word. No man can recall Sheriff Bowers memorable conflict with desperadocs just south of town, where he faceo oldly the bullets of three armed men, having his horse shot under him and mar rowly escaping death 10 maintain law and order, without prOciaimin9 him brave man. It is related that when friend re- monstrated with him for running such a risk. saying that q man with wife and children should not expose his fife against those of reckless desperadoes, he answered {: "I am sworn to do my duty, which is to disarm and arrest those men, and can take no other course"
 But it was not of this that I proposed to speak. It was or his love for children One of the last acts of his life, while busi- ness was pressing upon him at the close of his official term, was 60 throw off all other care and spend a day in making collections for childreh's Christmas Tree Many who were there will remember with what delight he watched inc children, that Christmas eve, at their merry making. It makes the hot tears start to our eyes as we remember that it was his last Christmas on earth; that we no more shall receive the kindly word and friendly greeting of one whose work is doae. We love to finger over his memory, his mistakes forgotten, his virtues only remaining.
 Sheriff Bowers was actively engaged in political and official life, and hence bad political enemies; but to-day all ami mostly is forgotten in the general grief. All mourn his early death Kind friend, true citizen, loving fa,her, afectionate hus- band. rest thou in the better land 'beycnd the river" D.

FROM moHAvE COUNTY.

Hon. W. II. Hardy and Mir. Paul Breon arrived yesterday from Mineral Park, Mo- have county, per private conveyance. These gentlemen are both old citizens in the Ter ritory, and are largely interested iu mining, stock raising, etc, and feel lively inter- est in everything having d tendency to ben eft Arizona, and a great dislikc for every thing which savers of neglect anu fraud and has tendency to throw shade over the welfare of the Territory, consequently they denounce the late mail contractors in ihe bitterest terms. Mohave for nearly three months has been entirely abandoned SD far as mails are concerned, and a greater outrage was never committed upon any peo- ple. They speak in cheerful terms of the. mining prospects in their section. They describe the situation of tho Indians-who arc peaceaOly inclined-as anything but satisfactory, owing to the fact that they are destitute of food and clothing.

Hon. Chief Justice c. G. W French, the scholar, lawyer ant gentleman, who has ably aud faithfully held the position of Chief Justice in this Territory for the past three years, arrived in Prescott from Tucson on saturday evening, looking hale and hearty after his tedious and uncomfortable journey from the ancient city in Pima county to this place The Judge has, during the last year, visited the States and his family, and informs us that Mrs. French will join him in the spring, and more than likely come to Prescott during the warm months of summer and take up residence. The pres encc of Judge French here in Prescott at this time was made necessary for the pur- pose of being m attendance at the supreme Court term. The Judge never neglects his duties, therefore he gives entire satisfaction.

Ex Sheriff Ed. F. Bowers, died at his residence on Marina street, at il a. m., Sum- day, Jan. ,, 1879, of pneumonia, after an illness of ten days, during which he suffer ed intensely, notwithstanding the best med ical and other attention. For several days prior to his death it was manifest that there was but slight hope for his recovery, yet everything that science and the kind, offices of family and friends could accom plish was resorted to to alleviate his suffer- ings and prolopg his life, put in despite of all human effor, the disease continued from day to oay to tell more and more upon his physical constitution until death came to his relief.
 Ed. F. Bowers was born at Greenfield N. H., thirty-nine years ago. on the 27th day of June, last past. He emigrated to Kansas in 1858, and to Colorado in 1859, where he was engaged in inning, prospect ing, packing, etc., until 1869, when he went to California, and resumed the business of mining in that State, which he followed for tHieC yCdie until ACOOs Nilcn LII CoinpaHg with his brother, the late Herbert Bowers, ". \.

 Mir. Bowers was elected Sheriff of Yava- pal county in 1874, and in 1876 reelected to succeed himself He had not quite closed his second term when he was taken ill, and dicd only five days after his term expired.

IN THE SUPREME COURT.
IN zEMoEIAM.

IN dEMOEIAh.
 This morning at the opening of the Supreme Court, on motion of Clark Churchill, Esq.,, sec onded by Judge Rnsh, and after appropriate and eulogistic remarks ny Messrs. Churchill, Rush, Masterson and other members of the bar, the Supreme Court adjourned in re spect to the memory of Hon. Ed. F. Bowers, late Sheriff of Yavapai County.
 FIRE AT ST. JoHNs.-From parties who arrived yesterday from St. Johns, in East ern Yavapai, we learn that the new grist- miii of Seratin ApUdaca was set fire to and entirely consumed about two weeks since. At the time the fire caught, there were sleeping in the mill eight persons, who had barely time to escape, the flames spreading rapidly, from the fact that the incendiary had saturated the inside of the building with turpentine. The mIil was valued at about $j,000, which was total loss. There was in the mill several thousand pounds of wheat which was also destroyed. The mill was but just completed, and had not some person with a very bad heart set fire to and burned it up, would have proven to be one of the most useful enterprises in Eastern Yavapai.
 The Supreme Court met this morning at n o'clock, organized, ,and immediately com menced business. Arizona can certainly boast of the most active Bench on the Pacific Coast. Our Judges are all active men, at tend to their business in p;ompt-sa,isfact- ory manner and that, too, on salary, not much above that paid 10 ordinary miners or teamsters. Their salaries are entirely made quate here in isolated Arizona, where a per son cannot turn around, without being com pelled to pay out at least $l00 for so doing, and we think our legislature should take the matter under consideration and provide a remedy. The salary of Governor, Secretary, Territorial Treasurer, etc. are also below ali reason and should bs raised to an extent whereby the said officers could afford to live at least respectfully. They are all supposed to maintain the dignity of their respective positions and yet no provisions are made for so doing.

Beard of Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors met this morn- ing at the County Recorders office. Pres ent, Fisher, Rodenburg and Curtis; absent, Sullivan. MT. Curtis claimed the seat as Chairman of said Board as hold-oyer mem- Der. NIT. Rodenburg, one of the three newly elected members, protested against Mir. Curtis being allowed seat, claiming that lie was duly elected to the office, and is therefore entitled 10 the seat. Messrs. Fitch & Churchill appeared for Mr. Roden- burg and Judge Rush for Mr. Curtis. The question as 10 who is entitled to the seat will probably be settled in the Courts.
 The Expositor is sorry that the Enter prise has changed hands, and fears that the present editor and proprietor, being Re publican, will not be able to make so good Democratic paper as it ought to be. The Expositor belongs to the blackguard school of journalists, and it is no wonder that it fails to understand the advantages of ha r. ing a gentleman of some ability and re- fnement at the helm of political organ, even though his politics be little shaky.

1t is a fact becoming generally known
that H. Glicksman, opposite the Court
House, is selling Dry Goods, Notions aud
Fancy Goods much lower than any other

He informs us his stock will be greatly
increased, and in a very short time he
will have the most complete stock of

Thanking his former patrons for so
large share of their trade, with stand
