 Wing k-e the unfortunate victim was a quiet, peaceable, industrious ChInsman engaged in gardening on Don Sanford's upper ranch on the SOnoita. Noaet ot his has ever contributed to cause dis like, or prejudice citizen, against him. The entire community was horribly shocked at his cowsrdly assassination and DO efforts will be spared to bring the perpetrators to the end of rope TLe affair l, an entire mystery and no clue with any degree of pOInt can be ob- taiBed. Judge J. R. Manning acting coroner, empansled jury who viewed the remains and rendered verdict in accordance with the above facts. They also listed his property to protect his interests for his friends. His celestial friends have ordered 6 suitable casket from Tucson and his remains will be immediately forwarded to the charnel House San Francesca to be prepared for final shipment and interment Tn the "Flowery Kingdom" No motive can be assigned for his murder save that of robbery. No money was found about him though 1t WAS known he had about $40 with hIm. His property was un- touched. lt IS an unfortunate affair, one much regretted and much depiored by all good citizens.
 In short time Messrs. Richardson Gormely < Co, with the San Rafael cut tie CC., will make an experimental ship ment of cattle to Kansas City. The R. k. Co, IS now building suitable corrHls at Huachuca station, from which point the cattle will be shipped.

Should It be found thatt 1vantageOus, and iustifisble rates csn,be obtained, 8 large number will be shipped this sea- SOn. DEcecut knDOut wv ACe1 will be shipped.

MT. Elliott by his efforts has made the roads Tn this vicin ity very passable. The citizens, team sters, etc, are thankful to Mir.

 J. R. Manning, Justice of the Peace. precinct No. 9, has been very busy for the past week. From the number of cases on the docket marked Ty. vs.- It is fair to presume that southern PIma will contribute in no small degree to the school fund. Out of .he multitude of dancers" some must per force pay the fiddler"
 There seems to be a small clan or clique m southern Arizons who, If an opportunity presented itself, would not hesitate to shove the queer" or say "hsnds up." Said clan is known and should any demonstration be made, Arizona will be too small to hold them.
 More towards Christmas.
