On Top.

The following from the Tucson Citi- zen will show to our readers how THE DAILY TOMBSTONE is appreciated:
 THE TOMBSTONE Is to be admired for the longevity of it's pluck. Instead of succumbing to the prophcsied ill evitablc it thrives and grows ia: on baldheaded nlaledictions, afndav;ts &nI bills of sale. For B corpse there $ no healthier looking ono in Arizona to- day. The fight between itself and the Rscord-Epitsph appears to have whet- ted its appetite for news and awakened it more fully to the interests of the people of Cochise county, by whom it seems to be appreciated. THE TOMB. STONE is among the best of our Terri. torial exchanges, and that it may live long and continue to prosper is the wish of its friends.

Killed by the Cars.

w. F. Putnam, Q brakeman on the Arizona and Sonora Railway for the past fifteen months. aged about 24 years, was killed at Magdalena, Son. ora. about 2 o'clock last Saturday morning, while engaged in making up a train. Two cars had been backed in on side track and cut loose, when Putnam climbed on top of the loose cars to let them down to the proper point by the brake. After putting on the brakes he signalsd the engineer to back up, and, as his light disappeared a moment aftsrward, it is supposed he either stepped off the end of the boz car without looking or fell in attempt ing to climb town. As soon as the light disappeared the engineer stop ped, but found that the engine and one box car had already passed over and mangled the body of the unfor- tunats young man, who died imme. diately. Deceased was from Grass Valley. California. where his people 'residey,saad w.s we'll known and pop. ular with railroad men and. the peo. pie along the line of the road.-Noga. les Frontier

The Renewal OS viSor.

The most important step in this process is the restoration of the func- tions of digestion and assimilation to fuii and uninterrupted exercise, since it is upon their activity alone that the system can depend to replenish it's dwindling store of energy.

Its prOperties as q medicated stimulent conlniend 1t to all persons suffering from the effects of fatigue, mental or bodily, as sn i'm mediate means of counteracting their effects and in cases where loss of vigor is attributable to such weaken ing chronic causes as dyspepsia, af- fections of the kidneys and bladder, snAthe infirmities peculiar to age, it produces permanently beneficial 're- suits.

 There is a vast amount of good work done for our Territory by its newspapers that the people neither recognize nor appreciate. Nearly every day applications are made for sample copies of the newspaper by eastern residents, and from its col umns they derive their impressions of the town, county and Territory. To a person who contemplates removing to the far west, and advertising columns of the local newspaper are the most interesting, and he regards them as a certain index of the character and condition of the place. The neat ap- bearing paper, full of news and vim, with a great volume of home adver- tisements. mirrors to him the busy town and an active and intelligent population, and he judges very closely l and correctly of the place from its newspaper. In the course of year nearly every newspaper in the Terri tory in this way reaches thousands of people in the east who arc looking to- ward Apache land for future home, and A large number of our pushing and prosperous citizens of to-day can confirm the truthfulness of this state ment by their own experience. This is gratuitous labor of the press, for not one out of ten enclose even q postage stamp to pay the postage, but their rsqusst is always complied with cheerfully. The public does not hea, oi Ii,is ~v,. vi ino me~spapvIs. anu can scarcely realize the aggregate ex

TaiE RACES.
A .GaEa Day Tor r01nDsrpne Yesterday.

At about noon yesterday vehicles were seen speeding toward the Tomb stone Driving Park, and by 2 o'clock, the time advertised for the. races, there were over five hundred people assembled at the track, large num- Der of ladies also being present The track was in excellent condition, and at. half-past 2 o'clock the horses for tlfe first. race were called up. This was 60O-yarL dash between Igo's mare and Broken Leg. Pools were selling pretty lively on this race, and bets were about even on the two hor- ses. After some scoring the horses were started, with the little mare be- hind, but before the quarter-pole Was reached, the mare was leading by a neck, which distance she maintained throughout the race, winning the heat and money. Immediately after this race, the colt race was announced Igo's Gray Eagle was the favorite in this race, which was half-mile dash The horses were brought up and sent off, tn. Walker colt having the pole They run around the track neck and neck until the last quarter, when the bay colt .prang ahead and kept one length ahead until it passed under the wire, winning the race and the money. The third, and most exciting race of the day, was between Lotrac' co.'s Red-Eys and Jones Fashion The old gray was in excellent condi 1 ton. When the word "Go' WAS given the rider of Red-Eye crowded the gray off the track, putting him back about thirty feet; but, by the time the ] first quarter was reached, he had closed the gap and was in the lead which he maintained until the las quarter was reached, when Red-Eyt forged ahead, and passed under tht wire in 53I, winning the race ano money. There was considerable dis cussion in regards to giving this rae, to Red-Eye, many claiming that h, he had lost it on account of fou riding on the part of the rider, but al there had been no stipulations made in regard to rules, the judges decide. the race in favor of Red-Eye and thu pools were paid.
 Everything at the track yesterda, was on the square. and money Was be very freely.
 Several thousand dollars changed hands yesterday, and We believe tha future races will be equally as we'll at tended, if not better, than those 0 yesterday. Mir. JoIles deserves a grea eeal of credit. for the pains and ex
 pense he has gone to in making thi ! track q desirable place of amusement

MT. Geo. Harlow thinks he has lost between 100 and 15O head of cattle

MT. Geo. Harlow thinks he has lost between 100 and 150 head of cattle within the past three months by cattle tn eyes. This is a serious loss and when the business of stealing cattle goes so far as to be carried. on in this wholesale manner 1t is about time for the authorities and our cattlemen to take some action in the matter. Mir. Marlow thinks from what he can learn that the thieves only made two hauls to get this number of cattle, also that the cattle were driven toward the Gila river and probably crossed the river below Florence few miles. He did not miss the cattle for several daye and when he did the trail was 60 in. distinct that he was not able to follov it for any great distance. but did fol

 Next Tuesday Crook will have been out 'after" the Apachss just six months; and still the slaughter of set tiers goes on, as if there was not sol dier on the continent. Men of Ari- zona and New Mexico, rise up as one man and put stop to this. Remove Crook at all hazards; don't ask the Government to do it-thst is useless. The officers under him arc anxious to find the Indians, and kill them, and some of them are sick at heart be- cauxe Crook will not allow them to do so. The progress of these Territories must not be retarded forever that this mercenary old falsifer and imbecils may carry out his monsy-msking "policy." Don't ask again to have him reInoved-but remove him. He is the only obstacle to the peace, safety, and progress of these Terri tories; and what is his doubly for fsited life, compared to the scores of innocent people who have hesn and are being slaughtered daily. The remedy is a desperate one, but cer- tainly the situation is desperate, and relief is utterly out of the question with Crook in command, and thsre appears no hope of his removal Frontier.

Richard Marsh, a coIorcd DO

Richard Marsh, a colored boy
about ~ years of age, attempted to
burn the dwelling of Mr.. II. w. Nor
ris, in this county, on Tuesday last.
He placed kindling at three different
points under the building, but was
only successful in getting a fire fairly
started at one place. This would
probably, within five or ten minutes
more time, have gotten beyond con-
troll and destroyed the entire proper
ty. Fortunately, however, it was
discovered by the colered cook in
time to prevent further loss than 9
damage to the amount of a few dol
lars. The boy was committed to jail
by justice Howell, to await the action
of the next grand jury.
