 Five entries have thus fur been made, the favorite among the knoaing ones being q young Englishman named DUnning, 9 years of age, who is be lieved to have the necessary speed and staying power to walk away with th9 cake.
 William Connolly, aged 2G and 2 native of San Francisco, has also some strong packers from the fact that lie has had some little experience and won d 100 mile match in Oakland be- fore coming here.
 The other three entries are John Kennedy, aged fl, native Of Ireland {; Joseph BIinkcOrn, aged 24, a native of New York, with good record in a 5G-mile match, and John James Cor nelly, aged 24, and also a native of New York.

 Two very fat men were in the pro- gress of a heated discussion. That is the characteristic of all fat men's dis cussions when the thermometer is gambling at i12 degrees in the shade. The subject was the 72-hour walking match, and each told marvellous tales of his early feats in the go-as-you- please line. Finally one challenged the other to a race to the upper side of the plaza for the drinks all round" !" The alarmed by-standcrs had jast be- gun to get into cold precipitation, when 8 young man with calliope nose and dizzy" hat, in the full glare of our modern civilization suggested that the contestants walk up 10 the other side of the plaza and melt down, a iding, with 8 diabnlical grin, that one heat would be sufficient.
 Of course the fat mn were entitled tn the ckoicer trophies of he mutilsted corpse, and as one of them was help ing three or roar of the by-standers to lift the right ear and portion of the nose of the unhappy young man into an express wagon, he remarked thal he didn't care a Tucson prayer if the victim was the sole prop and stay of a down town billiard table; he " wasn't going to Tow them Californy sharps 10 get loo fresh at his expense"

The Mnst Dclicste of Ouestiens.

Mrs. II. Frua. residing on Convent street, was yesterday afternoon arrest ed upon the sworn complaint of Cen sus EnumeratOr Sheppard for refusal on her part to answer the pointed question of what was her age" Sheppard refused to judge for himself, and had her produced before Judge Ntugass, in his capacity as United States Comm miSsiOntr, who on prom
 ise on her part to render pr"per an
 swers 10 the questions to be asked b. the census-taker and on payment of S costs, discharged her from custody. This is the first arrest in the city for such an offence, and We presume 1t will be the last. It seems 10 have been rather hasiy, and as blrs. Frua is only temporarily stopping with friend in the city-awailing the return oi her husband from SOnora-we think that it would have been wi5er for Officer Sheppard not to have proceeded to ex- tremes, but secured his object by lit tie flattery or persistent urging. Let others, however, take warning in time, as the orders are peremptory from Washington to arrest in every case ot refu al to give proper and correct gn- swerS to the question propOulned.

Desperate Attempt at Suicide.

Joseph Blackwood. an emplOye of the railroad, and carpenter by trade, evidently thought something was lack ing in this life, and he accordingly went to the vicinity of Warmers mill Tuesday afternoon and shot himself twice in the head, one bullet entering his forehead and the other the Cack part of his skull. He was brought tO town and his wounds were properly attended to, after which he was taken to the Sisters Hospital. So far as we can learn he has not yet stated any cause for his rash action, and as he is perfectly sane, It seems hard to assign a reason. He has been a resident of the city for short time only.
 A morning contemporary stated that he was not likely to live, but this is a mistake We are tCld that he sat up this morning and part"Ok of hearly breakfast, and expressed aR earnest desire to get well.

Wasn't 1t Su.cideY

A man named Joseph Montgomery left here yesterday to walk to Casa Grande, in company with man whose name we did not learn. When they had proceeded about twelve miles on their way, Montgomery complained to his companion that he was unwell. and stated that he had bottle Cf strychnine in his pocket, and must have .aken some of il with his tobacco. His companion then hurried on to tn e station, four miles further, and in formed the section fOrman of Mont gomery's condition, and hand-car was at once dispatched to the spot with some men, who brought the dy- ing man to the station, where he died in terrible agony at ten o'clock last night. His body was sent to Tucson on the night train, and an inquest was held to-day, the jury returning a yer dict that the deceased came to his death from accidental polsoring.
 Montgomery is a man trfie above medium height; has black, curly hair touched with gray; wore black hat, dark brown coat and light clothes. In his pocket-t ook were found bills and letters of Barnett G Block, showing that he has been in their employ at Casa Grande, and & bottle of strych nine. In the book was the following, written with lead pencil and without date:
 Goodbye to all friends; I can't stand it any longer.
 JOSEPH MONTGOMERY"
 The presence of the pOIson and the inscription in the book, would seem 10 indicate that the deceased at some time in the past contemplated suicide, but the jury evidently had reason to think he had no such intentio:, hence their verdict.

Who is to B,amaS

The manner in which portion oi the census in this city is being taken is exciting universal surprise and in
 dignation. No one seems to have a gen
 eral charge of the matter. The regu- laraly appointed Supervising Enumer
 ator, w. H. Seamgns, is off on two weeks junketing tour in the Santa Catarinas, apparently calmly indiller- ent as to whether schoo! keeps or not" The work in tie northern half of the ely, under the charge of 5. A. Manlove, is very thoroughly and well conducted, Mr. ManlOve having q cor rect and intelligent idea of the duties of his appointment; but the canvass of the southern portion, in charge of Officer Sheppard, is in a -ridiculously lnuddled shape, and if it is not all done over again, will represent about a fourth of the real population. The fault seems to Le not so much with
 Mir. Sheppard as with his appointment. We understand that he was prevailed
 upon to accept the work much against bis inclination, and as police officer he should not have been appointed at all. Instances are too numerous of a complete oversight of whole families, while in other cases no one but tho heads of families have been recorded. \ meeting of citizens will probably be called to considcrt the matter, when some facts will be effected
 which will end in change of officers.
