The Dog md the Tin Can.

There has not been horse race 1T town since the departure of the fam ous Lucy, but the interest in the con test of speed between the dog and tho tin can is unabated. The race gen erally comes off under the direction ard management of the "Flagstafl gang" who arrange the prelimina- rles and furnish the tin can. The dog is usually furnished by some of the townspeople or some visitor from the rural districts. The owner of the dog seldom attends the race, but sometimes exhibits great interest in the event after it is all over. The distance varies from one to seven miles, according to the nerve and temperament of the dog, or the loca- ton of his masters house. To facil- itate matters the dog is allowed a length in the start which is deducted by the judges in determining the re- suit of the race.
 If the dog is from the country and is lineal descendant of the coyote, no definite signal is required for the start; once released by the "gang," he "stands not upon ihe order of his going" but goes at once. If he is a dog that has participated in former contests of speed with the can, he manifests an ardent desire to get the start on the latter, and it has been noticed that even when it was evident to the admiring spectators that the can was distanced, the dog kept up a high rate of speed on the home stretch. If he is city or an educat- ed dog and stands on ceremony, the flash of cork saturated with benzine, or the explosion of few frecrackers in the can will be recognized by him as a signal to start. If the dog is a resident of the immediate vicinity a circular race is allowed of indefinite length, the judges being instructed to let them go as they please. The can covers more space at single bound, but the dog is quicker of mo- tion, keeps closer to the ground a T on the whole, manifests the greatest interest in the race.
 The can is frequently distanced, but the contest is usually draw.

Important Public Meeting.

Col. Eddy, President of the A. M. B. Railroad, arrived from Boston by Thursdays stage, via Casa Grande. He brings favorable and confrmatory reports of the railroad situation. By request of a large number of the friends of the enterprise, Col. Eddy will meet the citizens generally, at the M. E. Church this evening, and in an informal social way, give them the exact situation, as much in detail as the time will admit.
 Cal. Eddy and Gen, McDonell will go to Flagstaff, next week, and if the rigors of winter in that altitude do not forbid, will commence work at once. It is thought that some rock work near Flagstaff may be done to advantage this winter.-Silver Belt.

Shooting at Ash Fork.

On the afternoon of the roth at Ash Fork Henry Williams, a freighter who plies between that place and Prescott, and a bar tender by the name of Ballard, indulged in a little gun practice on each other, and had it not been for the interference of peaceably inclined friends of both parties, would undoubtedly have re- suited in either one or the other of the belligerents "going up the track. !" The trouble was over pistol which Williams had left in the possession of Ballard while in a sober state. and which he afterwards called for after being more or less under the influence of the double distilled. Ballard tried 10 reason with him, but found it a fruitless task, Williams boisterously declaring he would have his gun at all hazards, and immediately left the saloon. He returned in a few min utes armed to the teeth, and com menced a fusilade with his Winches- ter, Ballard retaliating with Smith & Weston, but the latter only fired one shot. Williams second shot from the Winchester struck Ballatd in the thigh, and he fell behind the bar counter. Williams had very close call, the ball from Ballard's s pistol just missing his head. Friends interfered and prevented any further trouble between them, thus averting another chapter of what might have been bloody event in the history of that usually peaceable community.

Col. Fred Grant on His Fathers P0.
sition in the Winter Of 1S7G..77,

A good deal of attention has been at.
tracted to the recent article of Mr.. Childs
of Philadelphia about Gen. Grant. One
point in particular has been the subject
of widespread commenh this was Mr..
Childs's declaration that Gen. Grant was
convinced that filden was elected. I
had talk with Col. Fred Grant the
other day upon this yeEy subject. Col.
Grant said that he was with his father a
good deal during the Winter of lS76-77.
He has in his possession papers which
throw light upon Gen. Grants belief at
that particular time. Col. Grant says
he does not think that his father was
clearly of the opinion that Tilden was
entitled to the seat He says his father
thought that there was so much fraud
upon both sides that the title of either
Hayes or Tildeu would have been cloud.
ed. He said; n think fathers idea
was that there should be q new election.
at least that was his original idea. He
was satisfied that whatever result was
accomplished there would be very large
number of people throughout the country
dissatisfied and disposed to look upon
such result with serious distrust. To
avoid this my father hoped to reach some
sort of compromise which would result
in no election. Then the Secretary of
State would have been obliged to give
notice for another election. My father
was not able to secure this result. The
Electoral Commission was a second
thought and was really a compromise" "
T. C. Gawford in New Nork World.
