PACIFIC COAST ADWCES.



CLIFTON, A. IT,, Feb. 20.-Late Saturday
night s. W. Pomeroy, stage proprietor be-
tween Clifton and Lordsburg, received a
telegram informing him that the robbers
mond, about 10 days ago, were seen in
| that vicinity, making for the Gila River.
During the following day he was fully in
formed of their movements. Monday
afternoon Mr.. Pomeroy had Deputy Sheriff
Hill of Graham County go out with the
coach from here, as he expected they would
make another raid. His fears were we'll
founded, for the coach was ordered to stop,
but Sheriff Hill replied with a shotgun
salute, which was replied to by the rob-
bers, three in number. After a short fight
the robbers ran away and came in the di-
rection Of Clifton. This morning Mr..
Pomeroy started a posse for the GiIa TO
locate their trail. They trailed all day,
but were unsuccessful in sighting them,
and returned to Clifton about dark. About
1850 P. NJ. Information reached here that
the men were seen in tho mountains near
the Caronada mine, about II miles from
here, and another party started on their
trail. At about $3.50 p. NJ. the party which
went towards the Caronada mino returned
with the stolen horse, but were not able to
dislodge them, as they had intrenched
themselves behind the rocks. A fresh
party will start early in the morning to
try and capture them. They evidently are
making for Globe. Nine hundred dollars
reward is offered by the Sheriff for their
capture.
A messenger has just arrived from the
Carono1a r,ipo and hrf,n u inta11iuanpa
that the three robbers are captured and
will be brought here on the next train.
There was no fighting, as the party sent
from here got the drop on them. Will
send full particulars when they arrive.
The Water Problem.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 2O.-At a meeting
of the Board of Supervisors last evening,
for the further consideration of water
rates, the question was taken up, and after
considerable discussion three new orders
were PASSED to print. The first provides
for a reduction Of 80 per cent of the pres
ent rates, the second 25 and the third 20
per cent. AS the law relative to fixing the
rates provides that the matter shall be
finally determined during the month of
February, the Supervisors have some ten
days in which to arrive at a conclusion.
Thu law also provides for printing a new
order five DAYS before its final passage,
and accordingly receive the reduction of
37la per cent. 1t will probably come up
Wednesday night for final consideration,
and a lively time is an anticipated. Judging
from present appearances, 1t Is not I'M
likely that a compromise will be effected
by a less reduction than that originally
proposed. Mayor Bartlett has been en-
gagged all day in receiving Populations Of
citizens and discussing the water ques-
ton. John Nightingale has addressed a
communication to the Mayor, demanding
that the water company DO prohibited
from cutting off the water supply. He
also notified the managers of the COM
pany that they would cut off his supply
only at their W peril.
