Ed. HERALD Our quiet little vii
lsge is beginning to resemble a
lively" mining camp. The stiffness
of the night is continually being dis
turbcd by the most hideous cries and
pistol shots, and business in the po-
lice conrt is looking up. Wedncs-
day night, three Mexican ladies had
a little social meeting a, the house
of frirn'i. The two guests, getting
into some slight dispute, had free
fight, but no one was seriously hurt.
The vanquishcd party retired to the
city, procured pistol, returned to
the vicinity of the conflict and dis
charged the same in the air. hurting
no one. The other guest and the
hostess renamed concealed in the
house and reported next day that
they saw a mysterious hand pour

the hand, and the dwelling would

Last night a serious fracas occur

she became in some trifiing quarrel
with neIghbcr. Shortly afser the
quarrel, the neighbor left the camp,
but returned a few weeks ago, and
has continually sworn vengeance
against Mrs. Barnes, even going so
far as to threaten her life. Last
night ner opportunity appears to
have arrived as Mrs. Barnes went
down to visit Mrs. Aldrich, who
lives opposite. At o'clock as Mrs
Barnes started for home, the neigh

shots and the shrilI voice of wo-
man crying, "Johni joint" A
neighbor opened her door and Mrs
Barnes fell fainting at her feet. Our
Constable, Louis Vidal, assisted by
Billy Davis, Immediately began to
ferret out the affair. Suspicion fell
on the woman who is said to have
made the threats and Portuguese

to be very familiar with her. They

Ice s7anufactOry-

A portion of the new machinery
for the ice mill, which FIR. Lount
has been having manufactured in
Ssn Francisco, arrived yesterday,
consisting of considerably larger
and more powerful ammonia pump
than the one now in use, and other
machinery to correspond. Tho ca
pacity of the of the mill, Mr.. Lount
Informs us, will be more than
doubled when the new machinery is
in place, and the demand for ice this
summer will probably be double
that Of last summer The first sum-
mcr the mill was run, four years
ago, the highest amount called for
was about 400 pounds per day; last
summer it was up 10 as much as II
ton a day. The old machinery now
being replaced by machinery of
greater capacity, was the first work
ing machinery constructed by Dir.
Lount, and the mill the first of the
kind in the Territory. At that time
we well remember with what in
credulity the people of the town
looked upon the enterprise, and as
it then happened to be our duty to
write the matter up and report pro-
gress to the public, we were an in
terested spectator of the gradual
growth of the mill and an amused
nearer of the various remarks of the
public. Slowly, but surely. the mill
was completed and the ice was really
turned out in sufficient quantity t.,
supply the demand without the in
PREVENTION of frog pond and the at
mosphcre at the freezing point. Yes,
1t was real solid ice, made under the
tropical sun of an Arizona summer,
and people soon opened their eyes to
the fact that pluck, enterprise and
thoroughly scientific firm that knew
its business were among them. Since
that day Mr.. Lount has constructed
several mills in various parts of this
region of country and Mexico. He
already has two orders on hand for
the construction of mills this sum-
mer. Their success is unfailing.

Withdrawn at this time. The system
of Indian management by the Gov
eminent is wrong. The agency
bushes has cost the Government
millions of dollars, and we believe
it has merely served to prolong the
conflict with the Indians in the Ter
ritory. 1t has serred simply to fill
the Indians with contempt for the
Government, to make them believe
| that the Government feared them
aud woald buy peace at any price;
to make them indolent. di.solute,
vicious and demoralized. Il is time
the agency systems were abandoned
in the Territory, everywhere. The
military can take care Of the Indians.
Four years ago the Chryennes were
a wild, savage, murderoas tribe OF
Indians, roaming the plains de1an.
Of the whites; to-day they are a
civilized tribe cultivating their own
fields and gardens, driving their own
stock. living in their own log cabins,
conducting their own schools, man
aging their own affairs. They have
never been subjected to the curse of
of the Agency system. When they
were subjugated General Miles
than whom no one understands the
Indian better-took them under con-
troll. They were set to work rations
were issued but one year in gradu-
ally decreasing quantities; they were
taught to pillow and sow and reap;
the most OF their ponies were
sold and replaced by cattle; they
soon bought their own plOws and
wagons from the proceeds of the
crops, stock and winter hunting.
They are now taxing caro- OF them
selves; there is no agent to rob them;
they cost the Government nothing;
they will soon contribute to its
revenue. For more than ten years
the Government has been pampering
and feeding the Indians of Arizona
and squandering money. 1t is time |
the business should como to n close. |
Our Legislature has memoralized |
Congress for a removal of the hostile
Indians from the Territory and that

It been to have asked Congress to
abolish the agency business and res

Indians over to the military with IN
