 "What- Is It."
SHAKESPEARE. GRANT Co, N. M.,

|, CT, Pima County. Tues on, A. T.: DEAR SIR: hope the railroad may
 reach you soon and come along tC 7 Shakespeare. We have just started [ work for two companies-more 10 fol low soon. We are very quiet and are c going along nicely.
 soe The Tucson Star still makes u. Boom" Anything it denOuncet . must and will succeed. I find tha,
 have become about one of the most ! famous mining men on the continent In one day received sixty lelters-all
 from strangers-from people that the
 Star has been sent 10 containing
 marked articles. These many people
 received the impression that the Star was printed to denOunce a man that
 had caught and exposed its editor in some stealing operation.
 When I was in Tucson with my friends we could not go to the "w. C."
 without the editor of the Star escort. ing us. He told us that all mining
 cor Uanies paid him for notices and
 paid largely He further stated he
 was confident many of these mining
 outfits were frauds and they dare not
 refuse paylng him, for he could ruin
 them.
 We'll, he cannot ruin the Shakespeare
 and he cannot get cent. l believe that he steals little from the Stage I Company, but that is not the Shaks-
 peare Company.
 l wish 10 say something to you
 which YOU can use in any way you see
 lit. l know many of the good people I Of Tucson, both Americans and Mrxi cans, would lynch Hughes had they
 heard certain statements made by him
 as journalist and otherwise.
 ! He said there was no such thing as a virtuOus Spanish woman, nor could
 he think of Mexican man who would not steal. He further stated that he knew the convent school was simply run 10 accommodate the priests.
 My first impulse was to throw him out "f my window ID the hotel. but I knew would be only polluting n.y. sell by touching him. l then asked him what exceptions he made. 10 which he replied he would not except any. He then began to make disreputable statements about the American ladies. Thss l promptly stopped, as 1 knew ! personally Ihe husbands and the ladies. but he had already named one married iady m connection with granting him iavors during the absence of her hus- band at lrrscott, forgetting time-hon. ored principle of "even honor among | thieves"
 But G"d help the wretch who after receiving such favors would bctray the honor of the woman and loos, ly boast Of such thing in the presence of three men. In court of justice ifI l am present he dare not deny one ints Of these statements, and l can have them ALL FULLY SUSTAINED
 During my sOjourn in Tucson no man on earth ever heard ue make loose statement about female charac ter. In fact, always feel that it is mans duty to tear yagrant 10 pieces who attacks female character. But I was simply sOjourner; he was occu py ing the position of moral teacher
 l really thought at one time when 1 heard of his having been indicted for serious crimes that he was not as bad as he was painted.
 On the occasion l refer to he had made some unpleasant remarks about my gentlemen friends in Tucson. Il lad hands npOn him, and only for the interference of friends I would have thrown him out of the window. But he humbly apologized, and as one of | my friends remarked, It WAS like 4 | duel between a Rodman gun and a | squirt gun, and l bowed to the con- pliment
 Con. Ryan said a good thing to 1, Hughes at Tubac. He said Hughts ! wHs cross between a mean Irishman and goat. But I think l have made scientific discovery The lost Dar- ! winian connecting link IS hlackmail | ing pin-hrad Hughes-where the mon | key ends and the man begins. IL will lake 6WlO years to bring his prngeny | up tn points of honor or manhood. During my stay in Tucson he wa, c"whided, run over town, and, in fac,, he stated 10 us that "he lived in mor. tai fear, and did not think himself safe when out evenings"
 
 But he statement of all was when we had him out to the Santa Ritas as parer carrier for Woodwork, Crosby. George Cooler and myself. He took Occa>On tO give us some statements ' Tn confidence0 He said he had made a great deal of money m the last year and would continue to do so. Moth. ing should go on in the country with . out paying tribute to him. He further said he thought he could leave next 'prlng and only one thing would delay hlm- That was the aspect of the pO- , luical horizon. He said he was tn. organizer and controller of the Dem it ocratlc party in the Territory and by that party with the necessary popula. ton he wa certain to be elecied Gov. ern"r of the new State. You Arizoni. ans, think of the great future for your new State: Governor Louis Indicted. -Pin-Head Hughes. Let us pray.
 To back my theory on fhe lost link have found, will bet $10O If Pin. Head submits to proper examina. l ion that there is one inch of the mon zey's tail on the little animal
 Yours, very faithfully,
