Owing to number of Republicans
voting at the Democratic primary, when
that party held its primary on Monday a
very light vote was cast. The conscience
(?) OF those who voted at the Democratic
primary prohibited them from voting at
the primary held by their own party; or,
perhaps, it might have been because there
were no free liquor.

TuE LITE MAIL Robbery.

The Mineral Park lArizona) Miner Of

ward, Frank Stewart, who should have
been across the river in Utah, made his
appearance at the cabin of Frank Abrams,
| just below town. He asked Abrams to
buy him some sardinea and crackers and
to find John Burns and send MIN down
to the cabin in hurry. lie told Burnes
that he had had trouble with man on
the road and had shot him in the heal

word to the officers about the matter
until a lew words overheard by deputy
Sheriff Monroe on Sunday aroused his
suspicious and he Immediately inves,i.
gated the matter with the above results
Under Sheriff Kuncer at once started
for kingman but found on his arrival
there that Stewart had left on the train
the night before. The telegraph was at
once put into requston and Sheriff
Steen lett on the next train i'll pursuit
Etrly Monday morning deputy Sheriff
Monroe ard Judge Hyde left for Noun
tain Spring, it being the theory of the
officers that if anyone had been killed on
the road it must have been Nicholas
Cantoo, the station keeper at that place.
On their arrival there they found Air
Cantoo well and hearty, and without any
idea of anything heing wrong as Stewart
had passed there OH Friday and was not
due on the return trip until Tuesday. A
dispatch sent from Sheriff Steen on
Thursday states that he was on Stewart S
track and fast overtaking him, and that
he had no doubt of his capture.
| No traces of the mail bag have been
discovered, but it was known to contain
two or three registered letters, and as
the mail at Ell Dorado Canyon i, put up
in the presence OF the riders there is no
doubt that Stewart was aware of it, and
went through the sack soon after leaving
Mcneil. Stewart is a young man about
% years old, having bad record. having
deserted from the army, and also beng
wanted for knocking dawn and robhine
a man in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
| We learn from T. J. Moore, who re.
Gently arrived from the Muddy, that the
mail contained registered letter for D.
Bonelli, with $500 in it. There were
also several other registers in the mail
As there has been n number of letters,
that had been opened by the parties who
robbed the mail, received along the
route to Phoebe, we suppose most of the
mail has been recovered.

A Silk Flag for Florida.

The Woman's SILK Culture Association
OF Philadelphia propose to manufacture,
from Florida cocoons, handsome flag
for the State OF Florida.
That is, if Floridians will contribute
$500 with which 10 purchase cocoons and
defray other incidenta! expenses, the
Association will make and present the
flag. 1t is to be regulation size, and the
presentation will take place at the in

It is proposed to raise the necessary
funds by individual subscriptions OF ten
cents. Mrs. Ellen Call Long, who takes
great interest in silk culture, heads the
list with remittance of one dollar.

passenger coach was accidently hit
while the breaks were off and came
down the track with good speed. 1t
passed through town about mile
ahead Of the pursuing engine, and as
there happened to be no one at the
depot to spring aboard, it swept on
toward Picabo, gaining in speed as 1t
travelled. The engineer lost several
minutes at the depot telegraphing FOL
the right to follow, but finally turnee
on the steam and gave chase with a
mile-a-minute speed. Meanwhile th'
runaway car was five or SIX mile
down the track and as the race wa
visible for II miles from house-tops
it was quite interesting. The ca
was overtaken within half mile G
Picabo, or IA miles from town.
