Arizona silver belt., 1883-03-24

the payment of forty dollars per head to fourteen ignorant and deceived ln- dian chiefs. 1 need not tell you who Tiffany is, and refrain from writing the biography of Reuben Wood be- cause of inability to do the subject justice.
 A glance at the pack that have done the baying and l am done:
 Donald Robb occupies the enviable position of reporter for country newspaper, and cook and scullion for editor, Hackney; the worthy pair cooking their beans and islanders in Q back room made to do duty as editorial sanctum, kitchen and bedroom. He has been but a short time in Arizona; has no interest in the Territory beyond that of levying black mail on respect able citizens; is without brains or in- fluence and could only have been prompted to write that silly letter to Mir. Cox, by desire to appear a mas. tiff in the eyes of his master though conscious he was only mangy cur. :.
 William E. Parker was discharged from the store of Showalter because he was not needed, and soon after, hav- ing been employed by Reuben Wood to rub horses at a stage station, was ordered to leave the reservation by Capt. Crawford for being found among Indians in beastly state of intoxica- tion.
 Wratten, as before stated, threat ened to procure. my assassination, through the agency of his Indian friends, and was expelled from the reservation by me. 2f
 Stevens is member of a very re- spectable fraternity, known in the West as Bull Whackers," and by superior ability ill his profession has raised himself to the honorable degree of train master. It has been his GUS tom to come to the Agency week or more in advance of his subordinates, and spend the time until their arrival, with his friend Connell. I politely informed him that this practice must be discontinued, and that like other white men, he must pass on.t did not intend to refer to the affi- davit of D. Henderson, but having just learned the reason that impelled him to yelp with the "pack," I give it. Unknown to me he had been purchas- ing agency hides through Wood, who, I supposed, was the real purchaser and when few weeks ago, 1 refused to let Wood have them, Henderson was the man hurt.
 It will thus be seen that not an afi' davit has been made by any person not having grievance, and that those who are not positively disreputable oi the number, have, in order to gratify their malice, been willing to unite with assassins and drunkards in tho miserable. business of attempting my ruin by unblushing perjury.
 Mir. Donald Robb needs no defense of his character before the citizens o Globe, or anywhere else where he k known. But as that gentleman k temporarily absent on business, wt publish the following. As for our ourselves we do not consider Wilcox's aspersions of any account, and WI presume Robb would ignore them al far as making any published reply were he at home. However, he mus judge for himself as to that matter or his return. A letter was recently re ceived by Representative s. s. Co, from Secretary Teller, copy of whicl was forwarded to Globe, casting re factions on MT. Robb. A letter signed by the leading citizens of Globe among them all the city and county officials, the bankers, etc, containing the following unqualified endorse ment of Mir. Robb---was at once for warded to Mir. Cox: "Mr. Robb is ont of the first and best known resident. of this county. He represented it il the Territorial Legislature, ably and honestly. He is one fthe best knowr journalists in the Territory. His rec ord has not single blot upon it, anc the position he has assumed upon tht Indian question grows out of his public spirit, and his desire to conserve th' public good"
 Elsewhere MT. Cornell gives the li' direct to certain statements in MT Wilcox's letter.
