A BOLD BURGLARY.
ll. Velascc's Commission store Broken Into and the Ofice Safe Carried Oh on Whecl-Barrow.

During the last few months there have occurred a series of burglaries which indicate that there Is in thIs city an organized band of bold but not overshrewd house breakers, end they have thus far successfully evad- ed the police. Their work is general ly characterized by good deal ot and boldness, but it is sell dom done iG a way 10 indicate adepts at the business. Only few nights since 6 private house in this city was
 entered, and a case of jewels abstract
 ed from the sleeping apartments of the family. The most open act thus tar committed by the gang, however, was the burglary of MT. D. VelascO's con mission store on Mesilla street, Sunday night. The place was entered by the street door, which was secured
 by a paddock and an ordinary door lock. The first was wrenched from
 its fastening, and the second was opened by means of skeleton key, which was left in the lock. The visit ors riffed show case of jewelry to the value of about $l00, and five re- volvers, worth nearly as much, and then loaded the small office safe, which weighs about 300 pounds, on a wheelbarrow which was procured from Goodman's grocery store, and trundled it to the centre of Military plaza. Here a couple of picks and a heavy crow bar belonging to the rail- road company were brought into re- quisition, and hole broken in the back of the safe, from which was ab- stracted tin cash box, of the pattern usually to be found in mercantile houses. The box contained in the of $l75 n Mexican sIl- yer and currency. Whether the thieves investigations were here in- terrupted or not does not appear, but certainly they left more value than they took In another compartment of the safe was $200 in "Old coin, and several large pieces of silver bullion worth perhaps as much more. IL would seem, therefore, that the burg lars were disturbed ID their work.
 It is to be hoped that the police will strain every nerve 10 effect the capture of these IascalS, as their exploits are becoming altogether too frequent Tor comfort. It seems a little strange, moreover, that the events herein de- tailed could have taken place without some one seeing the affair. NIT. Vel lsco's store is less than block from several saloons and restaurants which are open all night, and altogether the success of the burglars is unaccount- able.

ArfzonR's Re.ourceg

4 correspondent of the CITIZEN some time since predicted that ere long Arizona would be furnishing the outside world with something else than the product of her mines, and that particularly the stock raising in- dustry would some day assume i'm mense proportions. That prediction is being rapidly verified On Satur- day last, Messrs. Vail t Harvey, of the Empire Ranch, shipped five car loads Of heef cattle 10 Nickery & Hinds, the extensive wholesale butch CTS of Los Angeles, and q similar ship. ment will be made next week. This Is, we believe, the first shipment of the kind, and certainly of the quar- tity, ever made from Arizona, and it marks very important epoch in our Territorial progress. It is but fair to presume that stock-raising in Arizona x yet in its infancy, and tue above intelligence is noteworthy from the fact that Los Angeles has hitherto been the supply depot for Arizona, and now the tide Is turning. The balance of trade threatens not long to remain with the AngeienOs, and we assure them that before long, If our ranchmen in the valleys prosper and increase as they have been doing for the past year, there will be more ar ticles than stock which we can better furnish than they. Why, it is not long since the CITIZEN recorded sale of wholesale lot of whiskey to San Francisco parties by a wholesale dealer in this city, Mr. T. F. Ryan. Verify, Arizona is growing and the CITIZEN congratulates Messrs Vail < Harvey, as well as other stock -raisers whom we could name, on the grand success of their efforts to build up this great industry on inc deserts Gi Arizona
 We do not wonder at the Los An geies people coming 10 Arizona tor their beef. They, like the rest of humanity, like good square meals, and the Arizona beef cannot be beaten for quality-or quantity, either, as, for instance, MeSsrs. Vail k Harvey re- gently killed four year-old steer which dressed 640 pounds Of as fine beef d. he most eXacting epicure could demand

Large herds of beeves are grazing on the plain or hiding from the -Cn un- der the foliage of the trees. We came upon a couple of Mexlcans on the road who enjoyed themselves running at full gallop after steer, catching his tail, and by twisting IL in a certain way, throwing him over in the dust. This they did many times, and hardly ever failed.
 As we get nearer to Hermosillo the country assumes a desert-lIke appear ance, but by and by the city comes in sight and remarkably well-plowed lands and orange groves, covered with ripening oranges, are seen. Hermo- sillo has a much more picturesque appearance than Tucson, and is con- siderably larger. It was raining when we arrived, and this may prob ably account for the small number of people l saw on the streets. Almost the first man l met on my arrival was Dr Lathrop, who has his office under the Iturbide Hotel. He is looking and doing well, but speaks of gong to Mazatlan.
 By the way, the telegraph now con- meets cuaymas with Hermosilio, and was positively informed that the end of the railway track is already 45 miles beyond Guaymas.
 As the Tucson stage is on the point of leaving I must close, but will give you a description of Hermosillo in my next F. O.

City Enterprise states that no less than tweniy.one Com>tockers left there in one party for Arizona Paragraphs of similar tone are by no means infre- quent in the Nevada and California papers, and while we are sorry for those States, we are glad for Arizona.

 Judge Haynes
TrcsON Decent

TUCsON, December G.
 EDIrOR CITIZEN. The cOmmunicd- ton of Judge Haynes in your issue of the 4th inst. I am compelled to notice, because of iis errors and the exal ed position of the writer in Tucson, rather than for any inherent merits It may possess, or any new light ij has shed upon the cattle-stealing case. His familiarity with newspapers should have taught him that editorials don't appear with multitudIn0us headlines. The article headed Bound Over" was an impartial report by myself of the cx- animation of the case of MT. Sanford be- fore Justice Meyer. The examination during it's progress assumed really the character of a full and exhaustive trial, and the accused was committed without hesitation by one or the fair est magistrates in this or any other community Professionally 1 am a journalist, and have had some exper- fence as a reporter of criminal eases for newspapers of national repu'BiiOn. l could have had no bias, aS neither the accused nor the members of the Stock Raisers Association were known to me when l wrote that report. l claim to understand the English han guage when l hear it, and to be meas ureably correct in my interpretation of it That the counsel for the ac- cused should not look at testimony IS do is as natural as that the eagle should not turn away in disgust from the carrion upon which it feeds The arguments of the Judge are so utterly specious as to need no reply from me.
 Respectfully, \. j. WATKINS.

OUTLAWRY.
Cattte-Stealins and Murder in the san simon Valley-The Ranchers Or Eanizing for SelT-Protection.

For some time past the settlers and rauchmen in the San Simon Valley, in he southeastern portion of the Ter ritory, have been subjected to a reg ujar course of theft, which resulted a snort time ago in the murder of man named Martin. On the night of the pod of November seven head of horses and mules, belonging to Turner X Lindeman, were run off by gang of fnur outlaws, whose headquarters were in portion of the valley where, with a good field-glass, they were en- abled 10 survey an extensive section of the country. 4 party of six set llers immediately armed themselves and started in pursuit of the thieves, and after following them into Clover dale District, about 60 miles distant in New Mexico, succeeded in recap turing the stock, together with eight head which had previously been stolen from parties near Shakespeare. The stock was brought hack to the ranch of Turner & Lindeman, which is on the road from San Simon Station to the new California Mining District. Mir. Turner and a man named Bob Martin then left for Shakespeare with four of the stolen stock belonging to MT. Fitzgerald of that place.
 At the time of the recovery of the stock from the thieves c number of shots were exchanged, but so far as knowh no one was wounded. The outlaws evidently dogged the party 0u, md eyrie in the hills observed the return of the stock. As Messrs. Turner and Martin returned from Shakespeare, they were ambushed in Stein Peak Pass by the outlaws, who were con- cealed m the rocks. At tine first fire the horses of the two men were killed under them, and 9t the second round Martin WAS killed by a bullet through the head. MT Turner then fled from the road and concealed himself, and observing the horses of the outlaws at some little distauce where they had been picketed, he commenced firing at them, hoping to dismount his as- saIlants and thus stand a better chance of escaping from what he conceived to be his last ditch. He succeeded in  killing one of the horses, when the fight got too hot for him and he again made of The broken formation of the country aided his escape, and waiting till night, under cover of the friendly darkness he succeeded in reaching home, some len miles dis tant. IL was 8 close call, as there were several bullet-hOles through his clothes.
 In the morning an armed party of settlers visited the pass with a wagon ana brought Martins body to the ranch and buried it. Later the out laws again visited the ranch above for the purpose of stealing stock, but were driven away. The settlers then organized party and succeeded in finding the retreat of the gang in the hills, but the occupants were away. The ranchers are now organizing to better protect themselves, and we may expect To hear of some neck-tie parties soon iG the valley, if the discretion of the outlaws does not get the better of their valOr.
