A Famous Mexican Rev0lutiOnist and
Eanlit.

MENTION has already been made OF
the arrest. on warrant issued by Gov.
Pe:kins,upon requisition from the Gov
ersment of Lower California, OF Clodl-
Nero Gotta, and his incarceration upon
the Mexican man-of-war Democratic,
now awaiting departure for Mexico
Gotta was once an ambitious man. OF
great influence in Lower California, and
has had an adventurous career. he Is
a nephew of Gen. Emanuel Markes, OF
the Mexican army, is about fifty years
old, tall and well built, and of handsome
and intelligent appearance. His career
as bandit is perhaps due mainly to cir
4c,,mstances which defeated his ambitious
projects in affairs of State. He aspired
to be Governor of California, which he
proposed to govern as province OF his
own. With this scheme in view, he was
q faithful follower of Lerdo and an I'M
compromising enemy of Diaz. Upon
the accession of the latter to the Presi-
dency Of the Republic he lost most OF
his followers and all hopes OF success as
a reyelutionist. He refused to surrender,
however, and became an outlaw. From
this il was but a step to the life of a
D2AUll, anu uC OCSShA1O - SAAOA w $50
merchants and peaceable and wealthy
people all over Lower California. He
frequently kidnapped wealthy persons
and held them for ransom, after the
manner of Italian brigands, and pillaged
a great many small towns along thu
coast, retreating to the mountains whel
the opposition became too strong fO
him. His band, which six years ag'
numbered about 200 men, by losse
in his various predatory incur
ions and desertions became reduced
until about q month and q half ago b
disbanded the remnant, and with two
his more trusty lieutenants fled to Sa
Francisco. A published sensations
story, which charges him with stealth
and carrying away q wealthy SPANS
Iady to the mountains, is said by we
informed Spaniards to be untrue. Iii
operations have been directed primo
paily against the wealthy, and he rs
many friends among the poor people
Although he made great deal OF NOR
err in his raids, he always scattered
Nth q lavish hand, and among the GRIN
;raj classes was the beau ideal of
bandit chief. However, the reignin
sewers in Mexico and the business Po
tion of the State are very bitter AGAIN

Lost on the Lava Beds.

THE Salt Lake Tribune, of q recent
date, has the following in regard to the
chances for safety of a missing stage:
The stage from Wood River is now
five DAYS behind time and men have
been sent out in search of it from juno
ton Station on Lost River. The snow
is three feet deep along Lost River and
the lava beds from Snake River to the
Salmon Range is one sheet Of snow.
Gu. on this wilderness in binding
storm is worse than being in mid ocean.
The only landmark is the old South
Butte, which in fine weather can be seen
for hundreds of miles. The storm clouds,
sweeping along from Camas Prairie,
soon hide this, and the unfortunate
traveller is left like q ship without a
rudder. There is no shelter, and to
camp were certain death, as there Is moi
timber enough on this rocky desert te
afford shelter for a rabbit. To leave
the road, which soon fills up with snow
is death to the animals, as the lava
thrown up in all shapes, has deep "a
vines into which the horses would surel..
stumble. Had there been even te!e
graph line across the dreary waste, tn
traveller might have some means OF find
ing out his course; but there is not
stick the size of a tooth-pick to be see
on this immense desert. 1t Is to D
hoped that the driver of the Wood Xiv
er stage made camp on some OF tn
foothills. But even in that case Their
must be suffering, as he would have n
food for himself. and the snow Is. to
deep to turn the horses out to feed. I
the lava beds it might be truthfully sal
that a jack-rabbit could not safely Gro;
without compass.

stage Robbery Meas BessUn.
TUCSON, March l6th.-Thers 10
great excitement here over the
stage robbery last night at Benson
and later particulars are very in.
teresting. Detective Il. III. Paul
was on the box with the driver at
the time and his double barreled
Winchester rested by his side. It
is believed that the cow boys were
completely surprised to find Paul
upon the stage, as no two COW boys
would attempt to tackle him. At
the first word "Hold," Paul coolly
reached for his gun, exclaiming
"By God. ! hold for nobody" 1t is
4 question who fred fret, Paul or
the robbers, but the crack Of the
rifles was almost simultaneous,
frightening the leaders into a run.
Paul emitted both barrels of his
gun aud also his revolver while
the stage was rattling along as fast
- the horses could haul it. The
driver had fallen dead from the
box and passenger, who was also
upon the box, was dying with o
mortal wound. AZ soon as Paul
could regain the lines, which had
fallen from the hands of Bud
Philpot, who was shot through
the heart, he stopped the team and
transferred the Wells. Fargo treas
urs box and the United States
mail intact to J. D. Kinnear, the
agent Of the line ut Benson, who
carried these and the frightened
passengers through to Tombstone,
while Paul started back, accom-.
panied by four men, to the scene Of
the attack. Later particulars are
awaited here with great interest.
It is we'll known that q Vigil.
ance Committee was lately formed
at Tombstone backed by all the
money necessary to take these par
ties in hand and teach them . les.
son. Those acquainted with the
cowboys, however, stoutly aver
that, had they known Paul was
upon the stage, no attempt would
have been made upsn 1t. Assist.
ant Superintendent L. F. Powell,
Of Wells, Fargo 4 Co., was lately
in Arizona. but was seizsd with q
malarial rheumatism and com.
pelled to return to San Francisco
sooner than was at first intended.
It is unknown what were the con.
sultations between this officer and
detective Paul but ever since the
latter has been detailed to super
wise the Tombstone route and the
result shows that such precaution
was necessary. Paul has since
been with Wells, Fargo & Co.'S
treasure box every trip. The
An glo.Galifornia Bank lately
shipped very heavy treasure to
their Tombstone correspondents
which, the company alleged. was
the reason for the extra preoau.
ton, but 1t 10 believed that dstec.
tive Paul, becoming aware Of the
secret intentions OF the COW boys to
attack the stage at . favorable mo.
mont, brought Mr.. Powell here In
haste. and even in Ill health, to
help thwart their plans. The oc.
currence last night conclusivsly
proves that Wells, Fargo 4 Cos
officers have been we'll advised and
were we'll prepared to defend their
treasure box. .fg7

There is one remedy which has proved
itself to be priceless boon and q true
friend to suffering humanity. 1t has
saved thousands of nervous, debilitated,
headaching mortals to lives of usefulness
and the full enjoyment of robust health.
Ifyou are weak, nervous and debilitated,
or suffer from INDIGESTION and dys-
pepsia, you make serious mistake and
do yourself great injustice if you fail to
try this excellent medicine. You will
find it a perfect panacea for all your
troubles. In q few we ks time your
shattered nervous system will be re-
stored to natural and healthful con
dition, all symptoms Of dyspepsia and
indigestion disappear, and the posi-.
bility of paralysis, apoplexy, and other
disorders that lead to sudden death, will
be removed forever. This merltorioue
compound is a preparation of Iron and
essential vegetable tonics. 1t is the only
preparation of Iron that does not give
headache or blacken the teeth. 1t j.
! called Browns IRON BlTTERs. Demand
it of your druggist, and take no snb

ction, for it's effects are lasting, and not
temporary, as is the case with alcoholic
preparations. Browns Iron Bittors con

THE COMING RAILROAD.

The New Orleans Democrat, of last
Friday, contained the report that the
Directors Of the Chicago, st. Louis
and N. 0. r. r., are to meet on the
18th inst, to consider the project Of
constructing q branch line to Baton
Rouge, which that road should have
had in operation twenty-five years
ago.
Only forty-one miles intervene be-
tween POuchatoula and this city, the
Capital Of Louisiana. The latter be-
ing situated in the very heart of the
sugar region, would soon become an
important depot tor that prodnct,
which would naturally find its way to
Chicago, Cincinnati and the other
Western cities through tho long want
cd feeder, which will also form the
first section Of a short line to Central
Texas at it's western end and OF an
other to Mobile at it's eastern.
In return for the sugar the new
road would take at Baton Rouge, il
would bring car loads Of Western
produce and freights for distribution
here and ere long, lumber forathe
Mississippi river steamers, to reach
what is now handled two or three
times, first by schooncrs then by
drays through New Orlesns.
We hope that the Directors of the
Chicago and st. Louis Railroad, will
seize the present favorable ~opportu-
nifty of giving q grand start
to the enterprise which con-
templates the establishment of the
Mid-Louisiana Railway, beyond ques-
ton, one of the most promising in the
South.
