Milton Nobles, Dramatic Comn,rv

Inc Opera House was filed last even
 ing by an appreciative audience to wit
 uess the first appearance here this seq
 Son Of the Milton Noble Dramatic Com
 pany. The play "Interviews.r as its
 name GuggestS, IS supposed to represent
 what ls peculiarly and entirely are
 American HstltuuOn, and while 1t
 possesses some points of truth and
 reality, 1t must be considered an ex-
 treme picture ot the volatile knight of
 BOhemla. The play lacks plot and the
 story IS mere thread possessing neither
 exciting interest nor strong situations.
 lt-seryes merely to introduce the hero
 of the play, Quilford Drvertun Iu the
 various scenes, tO illustrate the marked
 pecullanues, brightness and versatility
 ot the metropolitan news paper reporter.
 lt- language Is commonplace, bright ened only occasionally by flashes Of
 Wlt or strokes Oi humor. The brunt of the play rests entirely on the shoulders "t Mr. Nobles, in whom all tine interest of the play is ceHtered, ard iu portray ln- tue virtues, weaknesses and man hood uf this pronounced type of American, he manages to hold the attention of the audience throughout. PaihstLkIng and conscientious in Lis devotion to dramatic art, he lends charm Co the character Of the hero. That alone saves tue play from utter faiiure
 Mrs. Dolly Nobles IS possessed of an engaging presence and full clear vOlce, and it was positive treat to find some one whose expression could penetrate every pu-,i of the building. As Nf # 20 .Naa.. decidedly pleasant impression. and eUtenced a capabiiity worthy of Q bet ter part. The remainder of the com pany played their small parts with care ana attention, and made the most os the slight opportunities afforded them. | Mr. Alouzo Schwartz Is always amusing, l and hls ability to display his fun mak- !. ing disposition was only curtailed by l tho weakness of the part of Max Stein. ! Alr. Parhurst, as Job Driverton gave a l very natural and effective rendering of . the Old Sailor.
 h cIlticIzlng dramatic performances | at the new Opera house 1t is but fair | that allowance should be made for the | poor acoustic properties of the building. Instead of being an assistance to the players, it's construction IS such as to render the most determined efforts to be heard abortive. l. IS to be hoped that some remedy in this respect Is DOS slble, for as it now stands the theater can never be a success, and will always seuously with the pleasure Of the audience, and mar the best efforts 1f actors. The very first thing that shOUlt engage the attention of the managers IS the fastening of the chairs 20 that constant noises will not enter 'ere with the hearing of the lines, that Inc defects of tine house already make .t ditiicuit Co catch.
 Io-Hight will be presented for a second tune to Tucson audience the highly sensational and interesting play 'f PheuiI. It has already stood the est of eight seasons and has made a good impression wherever p-oduced. 4 srEe audience should greet the efforts f this strong and well stocked com lsly in their iavorite and most success .ui play.

Detail. Horrible Tragedy fin Ark.n,

Details of a Horrible Tragedy In Arkan>as.
 \ Little Rock, Ark, dispatch says: \ sensational story has just come to light. An old gentleman named Abra- ham Hall, living in one of the border counties, was hung lring the Rebel lion by a crowd of twelve men because he refused to volunteer in behalf of the cause of the South. lis lynching was witnessed by his son, who was unseen by the crowd. Young Hall after the departure of the lynchers registered an oath over his fathers dead body tO hunt down and kill every one con cerned in the iynching. Hall started out ID the fall of 1878 to hunt up his fathers murdereTs. He hunted up, and in the course of time shot and killed five of the parties at different times and places. Hall had desperate fight with the fifth party and though he killed hIm he was severely wounded. He was pursued by friends of the victim joining in the chase. He was at length run into cover in sight of his old home and near where, sixteen years before, his father had met with violent death. Here Hall turned upon his pursurers and fought until his body was riddled With bullets. Ills eldest sister was an mortified spectator of the tragedy. and she and her brother soon after met in a neighboring town. One If the party named Davis drawing his revolver fired at him. He was seriously wounded and in the confusion the girl escaped. This act alarmed all who had taken part in the death of young Hall, and they resolved on the exterminatiOn of the entire family of HalPs of whom on ly three were living, which were the eldest girl and two sisters. One night after Davis life had been attempted. Halls house was surrounded by masked men who broke down the barred doors, and the three girls were mercilessly murdered. The assassins then fired the house and disappeared. The trage- dy has caused a sensation, but the ex- planation made by interested parties that Indians or greasers had murdered the girls and plundered the house and then set 1t afire. was generally accepted, and 1t is only lately that the facts have leaked ont.

The Killing Of Styles and Morrow.

NIT. Antonio V. Lomeli, Mexican Con
 sul at this place. has, by Mr. Gouzaio ! CarranZa, Collector of Customs at Paic- minas, on the San Pedro. been officially notified of the killing of Alexander Styles
 and John Morrow near tue Cieneca
 ranch, in Sonora, by four Americans
 designated in the report as Tsxansl
 The men killed had been known to pass
 the custom house but a short time pre- vlous to their death. When about six
 miles over the line, that IS on the Souo-
 ra side, they are supposed to have met their four murderers coming in th, di rectlon or Arizona, and who riddloI
 them with bullets, plllaged their wagon 1 and took away theIr horses.
 These sane four men had been ridiul, around m that vicinity nearly all day
 and had been seen several times ua fine different ranches. In the afternoon they met and attempted d to kill three va- queros working for Jose MaEhas. but the men escaped and reported the oc- .currence at the custom house. As there are at present no soldiers on the line. the oihcer Tn charge sent six armed guards 10 investigate matters and re- port Tor further assistance # necessary. They had proceeded but a few miles when they found the dead bodies of Styles and Morrow literally riddled with bullets, theIr wagon pillaged and empty, standing m the road and hor-es gone.
 On inquiry 1t Was learned that four mounted men, leading two black har- messed horses, had been seen a sho.t tlme before going in the direction of the huachuca range, and as it was then near nightfall no pursuit could be made. The bodies Of the two men were inferred next day. The killing appears to have been extremely cold blnOded, the mur- derers having no other motive than that Of plunder, which, from careful survey or the poor prospectOrs, at the most, cOuld not amount to much.
 The Consul Is of the opinion that if diligence be exercised the men can be apprehended. As they are now in Ari- ! zona the authorities should be on the alert and see that such villains dorot go unpunished. The Consul further states that hardly a day passes that depreda- l tons by lawless characters are not com ] mltted somewhere along the Sonora ] border, and that be purposes to apply for troops and deal summarily with such aggressors, who rob, plunder and kill in !. discriminatory. It Is to be hoped that 1. the authorities on this side of the line ] will give inc Mexicans their cordial sup | port In their efforts to rid the country . of border rUfiianiSm.

Ludr. Hnll,it on Mine Jumpers.

The Denver Tribune of December 9ih says: I case Of unusual importance was decided in the United States Dis trict Court on Thursday last. There ls an interesting significance m the action of the Caurt, because the decision was q species oF eviI that has for many years hindered the mining industry ot Col oraGo. The case was that the Edgar Gold and Silver Mining company, of Louisville, Kentucky, against A. r. Smith. The officers of the company m Louisville are lion. Chas. k. Long and Dr. John E. Brady. A jury trial vas waived and the case submlttcdto Judge Hallett.
 This was one of the numerous actions winch have been brought by original locators against men who have assumed possession of mining properties in cases where assessment WoIk has been per formed according to law.
 The Edgar claim was located Tn Span ish bar mining district. Clear Creek county. in September, l76O, by John FJrar. Il. Coleman and R. r. Smith. The property was acquired by the Edgar company, of Louisville, from Alfred Bateman, in May, 1871. The company uds Tor utAEif ten y ttii7 LtlN lp'nCSslpHf e1pendirg many thousands of dollars for development.
 In June of last year A. r. Smith made a relocation of the property, clalrs4g that the Eager location had been for feited.
 The action in tbis case was for eject ment upon a petition of plaintiff against defendants application for patent.
 The evidence showed that the plaintiff had annually, from its purchase until 1878. spent considerable sums of money in the development of the lode, but tpd- l ing that iu the imperfect and expensive ] processes for reduction of ores then m ! vogue, its mine could not be made to l pay, concluded to do ,nly the amount l of assessment work required by law. The evidence further showed that the | claim had been staked and the bOunda- l ries marked ever since 1t came into l plaintiffs possession. Judge Hallett 1 under the same principles as were an- l nouuced m the celebrated case of Harris | vs. the Equator Mining Company, held | that these facts constituted a possession ! sufficient Go eatitle the plaintiff to re- cuys-y
