Court Chronicles.

When court convened this morning the first order of business was empanel- ing the United States grand jury. When the panel had been completed criminal cases in the Territorial court were called.
 James Howe who had been indicted for housebreaking to which charge he pleaded not guilty and subsequently pleaded guilty was brought into court and sentenced to term of three years in the Territorial prison at Yuma In passing sentence Judge Fitzgerald stated that if there Is creature he has a contempt for 1t is the assassin and the sneak thief.
 The grand jury came into court and made partial report as follows: John Hammond and II. c. Smith charged with robbery and confined in the county jail, not sufficient evidence to convict. The prisoners were brought into court and discharged. They found indict- ments against Felix Jaques and Will liam Carey, both charged with house breaking.
 Dave Gibson, charged with the mur- der of James Levy was brought into court and his case was set for Thurs day next, the 2lth instant and @ special venire for one hundred jurors was ordered.
 A venire was ordered for eighteen jurors for the general panel of trial jurors, returnable forthwith which means to morrow at 10 o'clock.
 The trial jury was empsnelled and discharged tlll ten o'clock tomorrow.
 The court took q recess at II o'clock without designating the hour for con vening.

CaSey'S Slang.

When Casey was passing through the hall of the jail yesterday, on his way to the scaffold, be noticed a number of prisoners peering through the bars of the west corridor at him. Among them was Dave Gibson. He quickly turned, and cried out:
 Goodbye, boys; hope you will be turned up.'
 The by-standers who heard the ex- pression, had different views of what Casey meant by the phrase turned up" The question was energetically agitated on the streets last night, by those versed in cowboy slang. It was finally admit ted. however, that the term meant "be cleared" according to the particular "fatois" of the outlaw element. and not sinister meaning. as many hearers naturally supposed.

How the Indians Celebrate Easter

EDITOR CITIZEN: Bright, balmy and beautiful broke Easter morn over this camp, and right lively has the day proved. As a starter, the Papsgo Ind ians held grand pow-wow and gave an exhibition of fancy dancing. etc, at their improvised camp, about half mile out side of New Virginia, on Saturday night, and kept up their orgie until the small hours of Sunday morning. To this. their yearly Easter eve festival, invitations by the chief of the tribe lad been freely extended to all their white brethren, and iu cons equence thereof, and to glut their curiosity, all the males and their leap year female escorts of Loyan City and New Virginia duly at tended, and l guess they were satisfied. Imagine circle of one to two hundred Papago bucks, squat;ed in Indian fash ion around camp fire, and wrapped in blankets of every imaginable color and stripe, then double the number of squaws in muslin and calico of varie- gated style-hounces, furbelows, etc. and unlimited ~pompadours," with no lace 10 cover what triple the number of papooses were constantly squalling and seeking for; and an inner circle of mu- slclans with primitive drums, flutes and vlollns, making night hldeous with dis cordant sounds; male dancers, their waists encircled with empty, ing ling cartridge shells, their ankles bound with rattlesnake bangles, masks on their faces and keeping step to the music; once in while young squaw doing a single act of the same kind, aud followed by illustrations of the antics of various animals, and you can have faint idea of the scene. On Easter morning bucks on horseback, squaws on foot and opposes every which may, gave grand street parade lntersper5ed by stops at fGvorlte points and Q repetition of their dancing. The street parade led by two fancy dressed squaws carrying an arch and under which marched another squaw, with q flower and ribbon trimmed cross. Dur ing the afternoon drunken Indians were plenty and the officers finally secured a Mexican in the act of selling them liquor at three dollars a bottle, and ere thls reaches your readers he will be an inmate of the county jail. When the liquor IS in an Indian the devil comes out and one of them whilst indulging ID the pleasant pastime of riding up and down the streets of New Virginia, dis charging hls carbine promiscuously over hls shoulder, was stopped by John Campbell, but in dissrming him his gun was accidentally discharged wounding the Indian slightly in the leg.

Weekly Mining RepOrt

Since my last report nothing new of any importance has transpired. All work is showed ahead as fast as possible, and after careful survey we find the tunnels will have to be run further ahead to cut the vein than We first an- ticipated.
 Tunnel No. 1 is in 13S feet. Some de lay has been caused, owing to the com pletion of the contract Of 100 feet and organizing to go ahead again. The face of the tunnel IS in a stratified blue DOT phyry; the rock is quite hard, but breaks well.
 Crocker tunnel has advanced to- dis tance of l13 feet. The face Is in fay orable formation, with some seams and spots of quartz. The rock is much softer than in tunnel No. l.
 Tunnel No. ? IS in 129 feet and looks about the same as when 1 last reported. Seams of quartz are being cut every few feet, which show fair assays.
 Tunnel No 3. Peer ground, Is in 1l5 feet. The face stlll continues in favor able looking porphyry.
 Tunnel at the Horses Mouth is in 31 feet.
 The winze is down 67 feet, without any material change. Sinking will have to be discontinued for few days to timbera portion of the ground. The well borers cut water at depth of AT feet, in sand and gravel; there seems to be plenty of water. We are now engaged in putting in pipe.

4 WILD SCENE.
A Lively shooting Scrape at the ouIjo-
 toas.


 Deputy Sheriff Casanega came up from the Quiiotoas last evening with q Mexican named Jose Peralta, formerly oi Casa Grande who had been selling liquor to Indians in the bonanza camp. Under the law the Territory has iuris- diction in cases Of this kind and Peralta had his trial before Justice Griffith at Logan City who sentenced him to pay a tne of $500 and to term ot sixty days in the county jail. It appears that Pe- ralta sold horse to a saloon keeper in New Virginia and took most of the price in whisky. He then began dis trlbuting 1t among the Indians at a heavy margin and soon brought about a wild scene of com motion and gunOl 'gy. One Indian armed with r.Ae and abundRntly supplied with ammunition started out to shoot Ui the town and soon mad the streets cleared of people the other Indians, of whom there were a large number vigorously backing him up. Deputy Sheriff Casanega wss out of the camp at the time and feeling that the thing had proceeded far enough J. H. Campbell took his gun and going out demanded that tine drunken IndIans give up their guns or cease firing. The Indian turned on him but before he could fire Campbelps gun which caught on a small bush was accidentally dis charged, the bail taking effect ln the outer portion of the Indians right leg just above the knee intticting a flesh wound. This raised terrible commOtion among the Indians there being several hun dred in the camp at the time, many of whom were drunk, and they demanded S3OO in money or CampbelPs life. Of course neither were forthcoming and the widest scene ensued. For a time it looked as though the red skins would take the camp, but peace was finally restored. The wounded Indian was taken in charge by the citizens and Is being cared for, and Peralta, the man who sold them the liquor, as before stated hhs been placed where be be- longs.
 This trouble occurred on Sunday and was the sequal to a grand easter feast held by the Indians on Saturday on which occasion Peralta distributed most of his whisky. The scene on that day was anything but pleasant and the citi- zens then saw trouble brewing. The action of Justice Griffith shows a determination on his part to hold the rascals in check and he IS supported by all the best citizens.
