A iail delivery took place at E; !.ns

A jail delivery took place at E. .nso on Tuesday night by which five prisoners re- lgained their liberty. Casey, one of the e'- capped Tucson prisoners, whose arrest at Fl Pase was reported some days ago, was amongst the number. He and another man were chained 10 rock weighing 200 pounds, which they took off with them. They were captured after awhile and again imprisoned. Early on Monday morning they succeeded in filing their chains, and this time made good their escape. Casey was being kept at the jail until Sheriff Paul, who has gone to Chihuahua, could return. It is said that Casey has been heard of following the railroad track to- ward Chihuahua on foot.

The Home of Gold.o

A story about which there is fascina- tion impossible to resist is told by an eX- change. It is of the "Home of Gold" Somewhere near the southeast corner of Cochise county, in the Sierra Madres, it is said there is wonderful valley. Small, lnclosed in high rocky walls, and accessi- ble only by a secret passage which is known to but few, is this extraordinary place. It is about ten acres in extent, has running through it stream which waters it thor oughly and makes it perfect paradise, with its exquisite flowers and beautiful trees. In it are thousands of birds of the most beautiful plumage. Running across it is a ledge of pure gold about 30 feet wide, which glistens in the sunlight like great golden belt The stream crosses this ledge, and as it runs, murmurs round blocks of yellow metal as other streams do around pebbles. The ledge of gole is supposed to be solid gold and torun down into the cen ter of the earth. The legend is of Indian origin, and a'ound it clusters number Of Indian stories, in which the name of the ill.iated Montezuna occurs frequently The descendants of the Aztecs believe firmly that the day will come when Mon tezuma will return and free them from the dominion of the descendants of the Con- qulstodores They believe that the money necessary for this work will be taken from the Madre de Gro. The secret of the en- trance into the valley is carefully guarded by a tribe of Indians living near it, and among them it is only communicated to the oldest men, amid the solemn cere monies of the medicine lodge. Having such a story to work upon there is little | wonder that the vivid imagination of the Mexicans should have built up tales of men who have found this wonderful place One is that certain Jose Alvarsz, while wandering through the mountains in searcl of game, saw the valley from the top of thu wall. Finding that he could not hopett enter by climbing down, he took up hi abode with the Indians who guard the can yon leading into it. The daughter of th chief fell in love with him and betrayed the secret to him. Exactly how she fount it out they do not tell Having been showl the entrance, Jose went in and would pos sibly have gotten away with some of tn
 gold had he not weighed himself down t
 such an extent that he could not get up tn deciivity at the lower end of the passage He was discovered and the Indians sacri
 feed him on the golden ledge with all th terrible ceremonies of the old Aztec relig ion. She, in despair at losing him, thre' herself from the high walls into the valle
 below. Hundreds of prospectors hay spent months of toll trying to find tn
 Madre de Orc, but, it is scarcely necessar to say, without result.

Editor Nye Moralixes on Election.
 We have met the enemy and we are his'n. We have made our remarks and we are now ready to hear the gentleman from New York. We could have dug out, perhaps, and explained about New York, but when almost every state in the union rose up and made certain statements yes terday, we found that the job Of explaining this matter thoroughly would be wearisome and.require great deal of time.
 We do not blame the democracy for this. We are little surprised, however, and grieved. It will interfere with our wardrobe this winter. With an overcoat on Wyoming, plug hat on Iowa, pair of pantsloons on Pennsylvania and boots on the general result, it looks as though we would go through the winter wrapped in bed quilt and profound meditation.
 We intended to publish an extra this morning, but the news is of such char acter that we thought we would get along without it. What was the use of publish ing an extra with a republican majority only in Red Buttes :?
 The cause of this great democratic freshet in New Yerk yesterday--but why go into details, we all have an idea why it was so. The number of votes would seem to indicate that there was tendency to democracy throughout tbe state.
 Now in Pennsylvania, if you will look over the returns carefully-but why should we take up your valuable time in offering an explanation of a political matter of the | past.
 Under the circumstances some would go and yield to the soothing influences of tho maddeniug bowl, but we do not advise that. It would only furnish temporary relief, and the recoil would be unpleasant. We resume our arduous duties with feeling of extreme ennui, and with that sense of surprise and astonishment that a man does who has had large brick block fall on him when he was not expecting it. Although we feel little lonely today having met but few Republicans on the street, who were obliged to come out and do their marketing-we still hope for the future.
 The grand old Republican party-but that's what we said last week. It sounds hollow now and meaningless, somehow, l are showed under so deep that it is diff cult for us to enunciate.
 Now about those bets. If the parties to whom we owe bets-and we owe most ev- erybody-will just agree to take the stakes and not go into details, not stop to ask us about the state of our mind, and talk about how it was done, we don't care. We don't wish to have this thing explained at all. We are not of an inquiring turn of mind. Just plain facts are good enough for us, without any narrowing details. In the mean time we are going to work to get some more money to bet on the next cleo tion. Judge Folger and others, come over and see us when you have time, and we will talk thls matter over. Mir. B. Butler, we wish we had your longevity. With q robust constitution, we find that most any man can wear out cruel fate and get there at last. We do not feel so angry as we do grieved and surprised. We are pained to see the American people thus betray our confidence, and throw a large wardrobe into the hands of relentless foe.

Tombstone weekly epitaph., 1882-11-18

As the strangers entered it was noticed their faces were concealed with handker- chiefs used as masks. Each had a cooked revolver In his hand, and those present in the store were ordered to throw up their hands, which was promptly obeyed. One of the robbers devoted his attention prln- cipally 10 Mr. Springer, and by the per suasive eloquence of SIX shooter induced him to open the safe A sack was produced and the contents of the safe, amounting to about $9O0, quickly transferred to the sack. The bold bandits then retreated with their booty, keeping the inmates of the store covered until the door was reached, when they mounted their horses and rode swiftly away in the darkness The whole Job was done so quickly and the surprise at it's boldHess was so complete, that the seven men present, some of whom were armed and under ordinary circumstances men whose bravery was unquestioned, could scarcely realize that they had been success fully "stood up" and robbed by two un- known men. Woodbury was arrested the following day in Tombstone, and was identified by some of the parties present as one of the robbers. He was tried at the spring term of the district court, and the result was disagreement of tho jury, six being for acquittal and the same number for conviction. He has been in jail ever slnce his arrest at the time of the robbery, and now that his innocence of the crime has been established, everybody must ad' init that adverse circumstances have been the means of doing him great injury.

The Weather,

About every other man ono meets greets
 you with the remark "Splendid weather,
 isn't itg" Of course it'sSplendid weather.
 One would not say so If it were otherwi c,
 and we daresay it's much better than we deserve. Far away to the east and ncrth
 of us the mountain tops are covered with
 snow, and the blasts that come breaking down the canyons would shame a bronco on down grade with loose switch about bis Hanks. Certainly we can't see the snow capped hills, and we don't banker to, nor have our ears bitten by the chilly wind, but all the same we know it's there. It always is in the north, and the ar which comes from there has a frigidity about it that reminds one of an ice cream freezer or the feelings of a republican candidate. When we think of those things we are re- minded of the weather here. r. never gets too wet to wade nor too cold to freeze. A man doesn't have to wear horse blanket | on his nose nor wagon cover over his | ears. He just sloshes around in the mud and slush unsil he looks like last spring 'dobe, and if he tries to brace the bar
 keeper he gets the usual discount, too. But | for all that, it is fire, large country with decided tendency to run to waste rock.

AN U0aY OUTLOOK .
AN UNPOPULAR AGENT.

~
OaARA, Neb., aug. 17.-The dispatches
just at military headquarters In
this city show that there IL serioua trouble
between the Sioux Indians at Pine Ridge
Agency and their agent, DIR. V. T. Nc
Gillicuddy. Red Cloud and Asher, head
chiefs, have notified hcGilGcuddy that If
he is not removed by October lst they will
break out. They have alse notified the
Secretary Of the Interior and the post and
department commanders OF this threat. A
telegram from Col. e. n. Summer, COM
n1anding Fort Robinson, si1ty. five miles
from Pine Ridge, states that he received
this morning letter signed BY Afty-two
chiefs and head men, indicating wide
spread dissatisfaction st Pine Ridge. The
Indians look to Gen. George Crook for re-
lief and ask Col. Summer TO jnform him
that they have given the Interior Depart
rnent sixty days, within which time they
expect some action to be taken. Other
wise trouble will ensue. There are 1000
Indians at Pine Ridge and 5000 at Spotted
Tail Agency, eighty miles distant. One
hundred miles west there are 1, 500 Crows,
who are uneasy and are oil their reserva-
ton. They have been killing more or less
cattle. There are also some Cheyennes
among the Sioux, as well ss returned war
riors from Sitting Bulls band. It is
claimed thatif the Sioux break out, they
and their allies can muster between 1000
and 5000 well mounted and equipped
warriors. Gen. Crook has had much to
do With the Sioux, and they nearly all re-
spect him and have unbounded ontidence
in him. He has fought them time and
again, and has made terms OF peace with
them, and it is not at all unlikely that
Gen. Crook, before he leaves for Arizona,
will be sent among them % special COM
missioner TO listen to their complaints, in
compliance with their request. This, 1t Is
hoped, will result in quieting them and
avoiding the threatened trouble. Red
Cloud, however, has no love for Crook or
McGillicuddy. Gen. Crook, In 1876, de-
posed hiln from the government chiefeain-
ship &c the Sioux nation, and promoted
Spotted Tail to that position. Crook also
disarmed and tlismounted hts band, and
Red Cloud, in 1880, was deposed from the
place Of chief OF his own tribe, for bad
conduct, BY McGillicuddy. Red Cloud has
harbored i'll feelings on this account, and
has worked up a general feeling against

though damaged In Il few districts on the
Main, crops, as q whole, are fully up to the
average.
In Russia, crops in the central and south
ern provinces, which suffered greatly from
