Frank Shepperd, a colored man who was walking up Meyer street few minutes be- fore midnight, when he heard groans The sounds seemed to come from directly across the street, and denoted that some one was in great agony. He immediately run over and found Heineman prostrate upon the ground, and covered with blood. Without stopping to question the unfortu- nate man, he ran down to the corner oi Congress and Meyer streets and notified officers Johnson and Roach, and they fol- lowed by several persons who had heard Sheppard give the alarm, at once went to Heinemann's assistance. He had not moved an inch since Sheppard left him in fact, he was so weakened from the loss of blood that he hadn't the power to stir He was at once removed to the house of friend. Drs. Lyford and Mathes were quickly summoned to his side. Oficer Johnson asked Heinemann if he could identify his assailants, and received no satisfactory answer. He has been extreme. ly uncommunicatlve upon the subject, and has not thus far expressed any desire that the perpetrators should be made to suffer for their guilt. His money and watch were not removed, which would indicate that robbery was not the intention Of the assailants. If their object was revenge, they certainly selected brutal manner Of obtaining it. The officers, after attending to Heinemann, returned to where he was discovered and upon examination found that the attack had been made some fifty yards from where Sheppard first saw him. He had managed to walk that far when he fell fainting to the sidewalk. The scene of the scuff1e was marked by many fsotrints and two hats, one of which belonged to Heinemann.

SOME individual started report last night that two or three thousand rofhans intended taking the town of Tombstone and robbing the banks. In the language of the frontier, that sort of thing is "too thin" Men who start such ruraors do so for a purpose, and, in this instance, the intention is so gauzy that the chronic sgitator cannot conceal himself from the public. The residents of Tomb. stone desire peace, and if the advice of the EPlTApH is followed any rep etition of past crimes will be offset by vigilance. Although having a proper regard for the beautiful, we have but little appreciation of the maud lin sentimentality that teaches one to make poem out of murder and 6 hero of the murderer. A mad dog should be killed whether a thorogh- bred or a mongrel. The EPIrApH lis in favor, of law and order, which now prevails and should be made to prevail, at no matter what cost, dur. ing all the future.

Mallapni lndiaAa.

The situation in Mohave county is said to be somewhat critical because of the discontent manifested among the half starved Wallapai Indians, who have gone bodily into the moun- tains, are apparently preparing for an outbreak. To meet any emergency, the people assembled in mass meet ing in Mineral Park, and unanimous ly resolved that Gov. Tritle be re- quested to procure sufficient arms and ammunition for posse comitatus of one hundred men, and forward at once to the sheriff of that county; that said sheriff take charge of said arms and ammunition, and that he holG the same subject to the order of the Governor. An address was also sent to Gen. Wilcox, stating the condition of affairs, and asking that, as the Indians had hitherto been so friendly to the whites, something be done to ameliorate their wretched condition. They have, by order of Gen. Wilcox, been driven away from the line of the Railroad, and deEied the privilege of earning livelihood, and, as the whites have taken up their hunting grounds, water and feeding places used for their ponies, their condition is indeed wretched. The people also ask that so long as the Indians are peaceful they be allowed all the latitude possible, and that immediate steps be taken to ascer- tain the real cause of the trouble, and rectify it as soon as possible. The address was signed by about fifty citizens, and endorsed by every map>and woman in the county&

ORGANIZATION.

The hpSstep towards an organi. zstion of the Democratic party ir Cochise county has been taken in ( call for the holding of primaries fol the selection of delegates to county convention at which will be elected eight delegates to the Territorial Convention to be held at Phoenix in July. The county convention will also select county cen tral committee, the duty of which will be to perfect the county organlzation. In the call list of precincts is given and the represen- tation that each is entitled to, and such declaration of represe entation has been made in spirit of fairness and with view to obviate any possi- ble dissatisfaction on the part of either the city or the country. The democrats of the designated pre- cincts are strongly urged to take an active interest in the primaries and to send delegates independent of pledges, except such as must re- dound to the welfare of the party. Everything depends upon an organ izatlon that will bear no impress of unfairness or jobbery, and one that will lead to nominations made with. out coercion and chosen by an inde. pendent majority. The democratic party of Cochise county must take the field with clean record, and to do SO the conventions mus. express the will of the majority, not the de. sire of a selfish minority. A good beginning has been made, and it only remains to keep on cleanly to the end.

A Kick

A Kick.
 EDITOR EP1TAPH: While we recog- nize that it is the privilege of every American citizen to "kick," we are not inclined to avail ourselves of that privilege to its fullest extent, but will ask in the name of the forgotten taxpayers few pertinent questions of our Hon. Board of Supervisors in relation to the location of our county court house. Heretofore, as became these hon. gentlemen, they were particularly cautious about in- volving the county in any question able title, and tract after tract has been refused because of possible flaw Tn the title os the same. No ob- lection generally has been made as to the eligibility of the location, but the dear people must be protected in thelr title. It is generally understood now among the knowing ones, that the courthouse will be located on the corner of Tough Nut and Fifth streets, on the ground occupied Tn part by the Tough Nut, Vizina and Mountain Maid mines. The proposed location will require either a vast amount of grading or an unusu- ally high foundation, or both, which wifi necessitate the unneces- sary expenditure of a large amount of money, to say nothing of the title, which, in the present uncertain con- dition of mining and other titles, seems entirely our of keeping with the usual economic and careful administration of county affairs of a majority of the present Board of Su- pervisors. Is it possible that the fact of the above mentioned location being in the rear of MT. Tasker's business place and on.y block from MT. Joyce's saloon has anything to do with the proposed location? One thing is certain, that of ail the locations yet offered in Tombstone this is decidedly the most costly and the worst adapted to the purpose than any of the others offered for the purpose. While money enough will undoubtedly be raised by parties surrounding the above tract (so convenient to Messrs Tasker and Joyce) to pay for the same, this is equally true of other places in the town, and tracts, too, that are far larger than the above mentioned tract. To enumerate is unnecessary, as the people generally know the various places proposed. That on the Vizina grounds between 2d & Tough nut requires no grading and would, as compared to the corner of Fifth and Toughnut, save the county two to four thousand dollars in foundation and grading alone, betsldes there is a very materially larger amount of ground in the tract. Of course it is somewhat removed from the places of Messrs. Tasker and Joyce, but if these gentlemen could realize that they hold no perpet.. ual lease of their offices they might be willing to forego their lnconve- nience for few months, and do the square thing for the people and the TAXPAYERS.

Deserting Horse Thieves.

UcScFtlnk nOEbt7 AhucNcss Special to the ErrrAPn.
 r TUcsoN, A. T., May 1S.-The fol
 lowing has been received from Separ, N. M.:
 About half past one o'clock yes terday two men with four mules ar- rived at this place, watering their animals at the tank, when two other men arrived and tied their horses at the telegraph office fence.
 They reported that the men who had the mules were deserters from Camp Thomas and had stolen seven or eight head of stock. Among them horse Belonging to Joe Hill, of Saf- ford, Arizona. Hills brother and w. H. Miller the men who were following them. They made request that some one go and speak to the two deserters and ask them what they had done with the balance of the stock, but no one cared to do so. Hill stated he did not wish any trou- ble, only to find his stock. Not being able to prevail on any to go, A. G. Hill and hls companion, w. Fl. Miller, started themselves to in- terview them. By this time the others had their mules saddled and their guns ready. Hill and Miller kept on approaching until about seyenty.five or eighty yards, when one of the men stepped out from be- hind mule and made motions for them to stop, and stepped back be- hlnd their mules and fired. At the first fire Miller fell dead, shot through the neck and spinal column broken, the ball coming out between the shoulders. Hill then fired, wound ing one of the men. The two de- serters then fired at Hill but did not hit him. The mules scattered, but one of the men managed to mount one of them and canght another for his companion. Both rode off hur- riedly in the direction of Cow Springs, leaving two mules behind. The telegraph operator immediately telegraphed to Capt. Goodale at Fort Bayard, and also to Fort Cummings to General Forsythe.

TEE jury in the case of the Tcrn.

TIE jury in the case of the Terri- tory of Arizona vs. Claiborn has been out two days, and it is generally known that there are eleven for ae. quittal and one for conviction. As this is he second trial and the second jury diisagreeing, with large pre- ponder ance of opinion in favor of the innocer ice of the prisoner, it would seem u nat the district attorney might consist .eatly move for dismissal of the aci lion. The county has already been P ut to so great an expense, that the gravity of the doubt as to the guilt sof the accused should lead to his te,,hnical acquittal.
