The following telegram was received at Marshal Dake's office this morning:
 TOMBSTONE, Dec 29.-Virgil Earp was shot by a concealed assassin last night. The wound is considered fatal Telegraph me appointment with power to appoint deputies. Local authorities have done nothing. The lives of other citizens have been threatened.
 WYATT EARP.
 For some time past, the Earps, Doc Hol- liday, Tom Fitch and others who upheld and defended the Earps in their late trial, have received, almost daily, anonymous letters, warning them to leave town or suffer death, supposed to have been written by friends of the Clanton and McLowry boys, three of whom u. Earps and Holiday killed, and little attention was paid to them, as they were believed to be idle boasts, but the shooting of Virgil Earp last night shows that the men are in earnest
 Virgil Earp formerly lived in Prescott, asd at one time was night watchman He left Prescott during the Tombstone excite llent, and has since been resident of that town

Slightly Mixed.

The other night, fellow who had
been on little time and was vainly en-
deavoring to get home, tumbled into
the Boston & Maine depot, at the rear
entrance, Traverse Street, and thus ac-
costed the official in charge: 'Keer,
friend, want to 90 Wesnuton," at the
same time putting his forefnger into
his vest pocket to produce some scrip,
which action caused him to nearly lose
his equilibrium. "Well," replied our
friend Knight, "this is the Boston &
Maine depot; if you wish to go to West
Newton, you will have to 60 to the Bos-
ton & Albany depot" "Thasso!" said
the discomftted traveller, sitting down
on the end of a wheelbarrow, but sitting
on the floor Immediately afterwards, as
the barrow succumbed to his weight.
Eyes, that is So" said the railroad man,
helping him to make his exit where he
entered, and bidding him goodnight.
About fifteen minutes later, an Internal
humping at one of the side entrances
on Haverhill Street, caused Mr.. Knight
to hurry quickly to that portion of the
building and open the door, which the
man outside might have done easily by
simply lifting the latch. Well, what
is it?" in severe tone of voice. "Want
90 Wesnuton," he muttered, pushing
right in, as though he had at last found
the desired haven of rest. He was i'm
medately turned about, however, and,
after being forcibly informed as to where
he was, and where he should 90, he
sadly departed. Not over twenty min
utes elapsed, however, before he again
put in an appearance; this time at the
Haymarket Square end of the depot.
Walking boldly in, and not recognizing
the genial and now thoroughly amused
official he commenced, Are you the
Superintendent" The last word was
tough one, and it bothered him a good

ing against the door-post, "want go

Do you hear, sir? the Boston & Maine
depot" A silent, vacant stare Of full
two minutes duration and the mis-.
guided stranger broke forth, "'Keer,
now, this things gettin' 'cidedly old;

into tonight and they said twas Boss'n

on whose information he arrested me?h
The question was objected to as
tending to reveal detectives secrets.
The prisoner tried it again: " Was it a
woman who gave you the information
upon which you arrested me?' A second
time objection was made, but the Judge
commanded the officer 10 answer.

her in court? Is that the woman?"
asked the prisoner, pointing to a rather
showily-dressed woman with handsome
features, but a cold, disdainful express
sion of face. 1T is," answered the
policeman. "She is my wife" the
prisoner said calmly, and, receiving
permission from the Judge to say a few
words, he added: II have served
seven years on a similar charge to that

tell how he had found her living with
another man, former comrade named
Foster, and had forgiven her faithless-
ness after a desperate struggle with
himself, and had set to work to earn an
honest living. The woman pleaded
for delay but finally made an appoint

package to hold while she went round

her lover, and returned with police

coiner into custody on the woman's in

had put in his hand was found to
contain false silver coinage. All this
the prisoner told calmly and clearly,
and with few questions the Judge
tested the truth of it. He then order
ed the jury to acquit, and a subscription
was at once taken up for the prisoner.

DurangO'S First Baby.

Miss Una C. Pearson, infant daughter
of John and Ella Pearson, bears her hon
ors gracefully of being the first child
born in Durango. The happy event
occurred on Monday, Jan. 81, 1881. We
have noticed an unusual number of peo-
pie going in the direction of the young
lady's domicile for a few days past
frontiersmen, who probably had not
seen an infant for twenty years; old
miners who would part with their last
nugget for glimpse of the fragile bit
of humanity; prominent business men,
teamsters, doctors, lawyers and women
all wended their way to see the new ar
rival. One old miner from SilvertOn
presented the little curiosity with a
bag of gold-duSt. McFadden d Son
gave a deed for town lot on Second
Street; Mr.. Luttrel followed suit with
a corner lot on the Boulevard; Mr.. Creek
sent over four tons of coal; Newman,
Chestnut & Stevens made the little ones
heart Glad with dozen bottles OF sOOth-
ing-syrup and John Taylor, Jr., followed
with a soft hair brush, while Griffin &
Carpenter sent in a rubber ring and
box of safety-pins. Mr.. and Mrs Dia-
mond gave the baby their little 6 cross
dog Prince to play with when she gets
old enough. Robertson q Rowley, as
soon as they heard the news, went to
work making a baby-carriage. Ed
Schiller wanted to give away his baby
steam-engine, but it makes such a big
racket that it would keep the little one
awake, so, instead, he presented re-
ceipt for post-ofiice box. The RecQrd
put her name down for a year 8 sSb
scription to the daily and weekly gratis.
Finch, of the Nose Paint" thought
his goods were too strong, SO he bought
a powder-box as his offering, for face
paint. DR.. Cowen, of the Windsor,
gave a box of toothpicks; that's about
as much as a bachelor knows about
babies. Baldwin, the shoemaker, tried
to take her measure for pair of shoes,
but his lasts were all too small. Justices
Flagler and Craig and e&-Justice DE
Mates, of LeadVille, made call in a
body and took depositions that she
really was the first born. Mr.. Eldridge,
of Leadville, presented aquilt. Myers
(another old bach.), Of Myers & West,
brought up a pony with side saddle
for the young lady to take a horseback
ride. Other and various things too nu-
merous to mention were offered at the
shrine of the first born, and, taking it
all in all, no other baby ever received
such rousing welcome as this one in
the glorious climate of Durango"
