WACO.
A Burglar Brought to Bay-Tramps-
The Railway Reduction
FOwler's Harvest.

Special to the Gazette.
Waco, January 27.-A telegram was
received from Hubbard City this
morning announcing the arrest of n
man there supposed to be one OF the
burglars recently operating in this
city. He had in his possession gold
watch corresponding to the descrip-
ton of the one stolen from Mr.. Oscar
Cauntison. Sheriff Harris went
out to Hubbard to investigate.
Tramps are hold and numerous.
Another gang of them was run IN this
morning, and while conveying them
to the station house Officer Wood was
felled to the ground by blow on the
head from another tramp who had
slipped up from the rear, unpercelved
to the officer. Wood rallied, drew his
pistol aud fired two shots at the rough,
bringing him to halt. These tramps
are giving the police and citizens much
annoyance.
The scaling process, inaugurated by
the Gould system at Dallas and other
points. has not yet affected the Mis-
souri, Pacific force here, but it is init
mated that with the first of February
the pruning will begin. The EN-
ployes now on duty are hardly ade-
qua,e to the amount of work they have
to do.
Fowler has gone, and as an illustra.
ton of Waco's faith in the science of
phrenology 1t is authoritatively stated
that his receipts here were slightly over
" 900. He fondled many a Uranium,
The ban against gambling houses
holds good. An attempt to open a
game last night was quietly nipped in
the bud.
The weather has been generally
pleasant to-day, with large attendance
at the churches.
The Walhalla club, a German organ
ization, is giving u brilliant hop TO-
night.
Brown, stabbed by Farmer Hawley,
VIII recover, so the doctors say.
Another case of fe. ce-cutiing Is re-
ported east of the city. No clew.

FORT SMITH.
A Boom for Judge Parker-Want to
BE n Circuit Judge.

Special TO the Gazette.
TT. Smith, January PA petition
to the president asking that the Hon.
Isaac G. Parker, United States di strict
judge for the Western district of Ar
kansas, gentleman of unquestioned
ability and broad legal attainmenls,
be appointed circuit judge to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Judge McCreary, was circulated
among the members of the bar to-day
and signed by all, irrespective of party
or politics His long and varie d eX-
perience on the bench certainly quail
fies Judge Parker to fill this vacancy.
His district embraces most of the In
dian Territory, and his court, which
has circuit court power, is probably
the largest criminal court in the
United States, being in almost con-
tinuuus session.

WEEKLY CHAMPION.
SATURDAY, JANUARY aj, 1884
REMOVAL.

It is said that necessity Is the moth CT of invention. We located the CHAMPION at Peach Springs about five months ago, when the future prosper ity of our town was bright and prom ising; and today it's outlook is even better than when we located here, The citizens of Peach Springs have extended to us liberal patronage, all that could be expected from the most liberal set of business men we have ever met, Our outside patronage has increased both in subscriptions and advertising, but we now take the CHAMPION to larger home field, (also on the line of the A. X P. rall- road). The next issue of our paper will be from Flagstaff. Our stay in Peach Springs has been most pleasant to us, and we shall always kindly re, member the good people of thiSplace, those who have extended 10 us their patronage, which includes every busi ness house in town. We go to larger field, where there are more people and more business, which makes a large increase in our home trade, and our outside patronage will remain at least the same. Peach Springs, with the completion of the roundhouse, now nearly finished, gives evidence that this point is to be the headquarters of the Fifth Division of the A. X F., and, we doubt not, within a short time, the railroad company will make such building improvements as will largely increase the business of the town. We will leave here the liveliest correspondent any newspaper m Mo. have county has ever had, and from week to week will carefully notice the local doings of the town. Ali con tracts for advertising or subscription will be carried out by the CHAMPION from Flagstaff.

"Opinion as is An Opinion.

The legal fraternity of Flagstaff are d credit to the bar of Yavapai county. Judge Sandford comes in tor his share of "lrgal lore," as Sam Hamilton, of Mineral Park, will fully testify. Be low Is d Flagstaff opinion, but it viii not appear m Chief Ju,tlce French's revised reports for Arlzona:
 Referring to your request for legal opinion upon the following questi ,n: "A deed 10 a married woman in con sldcration of love and affection by otranger--is the property SO conveyed community pFoperty?" l have to say that it involves questions of law. fact and equity, and Is lutlc mixed any way.
 II the deed of the stranger was in consideration of reciprocal love and affection and he thereby caused to be conveyed to her his property, and sh, accepted and retained tn. same in her right, and It increased in value and proportions so that the husband had knowledge thereof, and the husband did not have the wherewithall to pro cure like property, then l advise you that the property so conveyed by the stranger, IS neither in law or in fact, community property, but in equity il is.
 But if the husband had had the op- portunity and was possessed of the ability to procure such property, and he had had no knowledge, actual or constructive, of the strangers deed, and the property so as aforesaid Cor- veyed was in harmony with other com munity properties, then l advise you that sad property IS not community property in fact, or in cqulta, but in law II is.

Surprise Party.

On Saturday evening of last week Mrs. Relney was surprised by large party of our citizens, ladies and gen tlemen, who congregated at her home, bringing music with them, and soon her rooms were crowded with merry people, enjoying the giddy mazes of the dance.
