Arizona is to be congratulated on hei efficient peace officers. The robbery Oi the stage at Riverside, and the cowardly murder of the messenger, was followed by the death of every one of the perpetrators and accessories. The Bis bee murderers, with one exception, are in jail at Tombstone, and their trial and execution will shortly follow. The gang of train robbers which murdered engineer Webster, are being hotly pur. sued, and their capture Is almost cer, tain.
