Notwithstanding the bad weather the
stray roundup here on Wednesday was a
success By Tuesday evening no less than
500 strays had been driven into Payne's
pasture. These came from every quarter
of the county, and 1t Is considered that the
roundup was the most complete one that
has occurred in the county. Many ranges
that were not cleared In July through the
neglect of those who should have attended
to the matter, were stripped of all stray
animals this time and owners of stray ami
mails they never expected to see had no
trouble in getting their property. There
were representatives from the adjoining
counties and pools, but 1t appeared that the
cattle mostly belonged in this county.
"Wednesday morning rain was falling at
an uncomfortable rate. but the stock-men
were out early and by o'clock, according
To programme, the strays were being
worked, Mr.. James Wilson having been
previousl elec ed captain and Messrs. w
Z. Ewing and WIN. Kelly inspectors at the
gate. The work of cutting ont was not
completed until the middle of the after
noon, so great was the number of cattle
to be handled. Then there were severa-
head unclaimed but they will generally be
called for.
No definite action was taken concerning
the strays remaining over since July, and
they were allowed to remain in the pasl
ture. A special meeting of the Barbour
county ASSOCIATION will likely be called at
an early day to take action in the mater.
The boys who came in had as quiet a
time as they would have had at protract-
ed funeral There was nothing here to in
vigonte stronger than water, while bill
liards and ten pins afforded the amuse-
ments. The monotony was varied, how
ever Wednesday night by the boys getting
up ball on their own account.
Medicine Lodge did not sustain her rep
utation as live town, and the boys will
not cry to come back soon. A free sup
per and free ball would have been appre-
ciated.

dullest market of the season was met last

Mr.. Payne could ascertain from reliable
sources and what he ascertained from OBJ
serwtion, the corn crop in this state will
be an average though nothing like as large
as tt has been estimated. Missouri will
have good crop though it will be late OIL
account of so much damp cold weather
and for the SINE reason Illinois will have
only sixty per cent and Iowa fifty per cen
of crop. Corn will be worth little les:

The Bloody Battle Net to Come.

TUcsoN, May 5.--It is generally believed here that the main body of Loco's band has net yet been defeat ed, although the military have had two successful skirmishes with them The fight and defeat of the band by General Garcia, across the line, was with the advance body of the hostiles who had the women, children and stock. Loco's band of warriors, num- berlng over one hundred, were be- hind the troops, and passed within srght of Galeyville oh the 25th, the soldiers having started in pursuit of the band winch left the vicinity of Galeyville with the stolen stock, women and children on the 24th, and with which they had an engagement before they crossed the line. Well confirmed reports say that Loco, with about 125 warriors are now across the line in the Tres Hermanos mountains. The death and capture of their squaws and children will make Loco desperate, and if pursuit by the military Is kept up, the bloody fight of the campaign will take place any day, if it has not already come oH
The Tombstone epitaph., 1882-05-06
THE PROCLAMATION.

There is feeling of indignation universally expressed by the citizens of Tombstone and Charleston against the proclamation of the President.Suf. fering from the effects of long term of iGiotic treatment by the press of the few crimes hitherto committed in this county and from the unfortu- nate outbreak of the Indians, the business men feel keenly the act of the Governor and President in ad- vertising to the country at large q state of society that has no existence In truth. The proclamation IS actu. ally malicious in effect, and were it published by an individual would be libellous. It would seem as though certain class of people, assisted by fate, had banded together in an ef- fort to brand Cochise county as the center of lawlossness and the haunt of thieves and murderers, although Tn fact life and property are as safe here as in any country in the United States. The city of Tombstone, which las been extensively published us place abandoned to corruption aud as a resort for assassins, W ould have been thought in the early days of California, too peaceful for anything but religious con. gregation. It is impossible to conceive the intentions of the Gov ernor in bringing about such an ab- surd and contemptibly ignorant de- claration, and it is only charity that can ascribe them to his having been led astray by false reports. MT. Tri- tie, since his advent into Arizona, has apparently endeavored with all his might to damn the county, in a vascillating treatment of live issues and fatal misunderstanding of the condition of things. A meeting of citizens should be held denying and protesting against the premises con- ceived by the Governor and acted upon by the President. Unless something is done the proclamation will hang as a cloud over all the bus mess interests and industries of the Territory, without excepting any section.
