THE HATAs A PARTY BADGE.-It
is noticed that more soft hats are now
seen in Washington than ever before.
Why it is that Democrats have Il pre-
objection for soft and the Republicans
psychological problems, but the fact
remains. Of course, there are thou
sands perceptions, but not too many
to prove the rule. 1t is noticed, too,
the more deeply stepped in Democra-
cy a man becomes the longer he wears
hat. 1t is an idlosyncracy which
ossities with age, just as an old maid
gradually acquires apassion for the
color of layender.-Chicago Times.

Once upon time Il certain man
got mad with the editor and stopped
lis paper. The next week he sold
his corn at cents below the market
price. Then hls property was sold for
taxes, because he didn't read the
sherifr's sales. He was arrested and
fined IS for going hunting on Sun
day, simply because he didn't know
it was Sunday, and he paid So for a
lot Of forged notes that had been ad-
vertlsed two weeks and the public
cautioned not to negotiate for them.
He then paid big lrishman, with a
foot like u forge hammer, to kick
him all the way to the newspaper of
flee, where he paid four years sub
scription in advance, and made the
editor sign an agreement to knock
him down and rob him if he ever or
dered his paper stopped again. Such
is life without newspaper.

THE FIREMEN's RACE.

A Close and Exciting Contest by
 Tombstone's Fire Keys.
 The interest that for weeks attached to the trial of speed between the two com panies of this city, eliminated Saturday in one of the best and closest contested races ever witnessed in Tombstone. Long before the hour appointed for the start, $40, an enthusiastic crowd of men, women and children, lined the side walks and occupied every position of vantage on Toughnut street. At the out come the crowd became so packed that many sought the middle oi the street, and only by unceasing efforts on the part of the officers and specials present was the track cleared of the surging throng; when the fire boys made ready for ac. tion. Standing in line, each team com. posed of the crack men of the respective companies, with nerves taut, and every muscle .quivering with the excitement of the moment, they presented picture that reflects credit upon Tombstone as one of the most efficient 6re-guarded cities in the country. The start was a good one on the part of both companies and for seventy.6ve yards there was nc perceptible difference between them Neck and neck the two teams came rushing on, and for time it was mat ter of conjecture as to who would be firs at the finish. The engine men, however began to lag at this point, and directl, after the crew commenced to drop of one by one, uutil the ropes were nearl, deserted. Messrs. Osborne and Quigley however, stood to their post, and the, struggled manfully in their efforts to drai the now ponderous cart after them. l was too much, however, and with whir the now steerless cart dashed into tn, crowd and the race was ended. Tn, Rescue team wen with ease, nearly ever, man remaining at his post when the lin, was crossed. A pleasant feature of tn, occasion was the entire absence of an, feeling, other than good nature, and commendable zeal on the part of ever, onA to mako thA affair q s,,ccAss.

GREOO-ROMAN MATCH.
A Splendid Exhibition ag 0chieHeliu
 Hall Friday night.

Hall Friday night.
 Schiefelin hall was fairly filled Friday night to witness the bout between Prof. Lscien Marc Christol, the worlds light weight champion, and Peter Schumacher, oethls city, and champion of Arizona. John Hennessey was selected as second for Schumacher, and Ben Baron for Christol; referee, Dr. Goodfellow; stake. holder, James Hennessey, and Billy Chambers as time keeper. Both men came up with alacrity and without any preliminary manoeuvers closed. For fully ten minutes the rapid, cat-like movement of the men, and the dexteritly with which they successively freed them. selves from what appeared to be an in. evitable fall, was eagerly watched by the enthusiastic friends of the respective champions. Schumaker, however, succeed. ed by cleverly executed movement in bringing Christol to his shoulder, and with superhuman effort he fairly forced him to the floor and held him there. The referee declared the fall for Schu. maker, and the men retired to the wings.
 At the expiration of five minutes time was called and both men came up ap. parently none the worse for their exer. else. It was evident that Schumacher was now in determined mood and the professor correspondingly less confident. At the expiration of one minute and three-quarters Schumacher succeeded in laying the professor on his back, and the match was decided by the referee in favor of Tombstone's favorite. It was then learned that Christol had suffered fracture of the collar bone, which has twice been broken. The professor ac- knowledges that he was wholly at fault in understanding the powers of his an tagonist, and that he believes Schumacher to be the superior of any man living except Muldoon and Whistler.
 The stake-money, $2oo, and gate money, which amounted to something like SI5o, was turned over to Schumaker by James Hennessey.

From valued contemporary the EPI- TAPH is informed than an ingenious Yankee has succeeded in constructing a watch entirely of paper. We see nothing remarkable in this. Paper has been re- garded for ages as the best material on earth to build things with. In fact whole aailroads have been constructed out of the stuff (to the sorrow of the man who held it.) We are glad that the Yankee had the job and we the satisfaction of Knowing that there is another fool who enjoys his work. The Yankees patent clock suggests the idea that it won't run long-l like our soon-to-be democratic contemporary.

Both teams made the run in good shape, the Rescue being first at the plug, but lost the race because of an &C., cident to the coupling.

Some two months since Jack Smith loaned a saddle to O'Laughlin, the butcher, from whom it was stolen. Jack has been on the lookout ever since, and Friday he was rewarded by seeing it in the possession of a Mexican, who was leisurely riding around town and taking in the sights. The Mexican claims that it was bought of one ofthe livery stables in Tombstone.

OUR SORE DISTRESS.
A. Partial Resume of Indian Expectations.
The Apaches. Embeldenod by Long Immunity fro~ Danger. Attack
 the Troops.

On the heels of the Governors procla- nation comes the usual batch of Indian news-the murdering of men, the burn- ing of property and the stealing of horses and cattle. While the law-abiding tax payers of New Mexico and Arizona are employed in retaining this vast region from barren waste, and converting it into land of peace and plenty, they are cut down in their noble work by the ruthless hands of the San Carlos fiends as the leaves and flowers are cut off by the blighting frosts of winter. Yet Gen. eral Crook says there is no danger-that the troops are amply sufficient to protect life and property, and the bloody work goes on; and at the altar of mistaken Indian policy is sacrificed the men, wo- men and children who have sought an humble home in the far southwest land.
 But a few days since news was re- ceived at Silver City of the killing at Dry creek of Dr. Maddox, four private soldiers and the wounding of Lieutenant Cabell and a corporal of the Eighth cav airy. On the following day, news was again brought into Silver City of seven more victims to Apache cruelty and the pusilanimous policy so stubbornly ad- hered to by Crook. Two men, who had gone out to bury Lilly and Pnor, also murdered by the Apaches short time before, were attacked from ambush and shot; also one Papeneau, and two others by the name of Wood Poland and Grudgings, who were all of the same party.
 Four days ago the Cooney coach, few miles north of point called the White house, en route to Silver City, was beset by band of the red devils, but escaped by hard driving.
 Christmas morning the EPITApH pub lished special telegram from Lieuten- ant Fisher, giving an account of bold attack upon three men, all of whom were shot down by the Apaches within sight of Duncan.
 Tomorrow the usual tale will be told oi ffesh murders--the snoo,Iig oi men, the mutilation of the lifeless corpses and the burning of homes and the stealing of cattle. Verify the unparalleled patience and forebearance of the people of these two curse-ridden territories passeth all understanding.
 The telegraph informs us that General Crook has expressed the opinion that blood-hounds should be employed to run the Apache fends to earth. Only an opinion, nothing more. He forgets that blood-hounds are only successful in track ing down defenseless prey-a creature afoot and without weapons. Such is not the case with the Indian. He is well mounted, and his gun is of the latest and most improved pattern. He is good horseman and sure shot. Oh, no, general, send soldiers, we'll officered, and not dogs, to protect the lives and prop. erty in these sorely distressed territories.

An EPITAPH reporter was informed by Dr. G. E. Goodfellow, last evening, that there was not, in his opinion, the slight. est foundotion for the idea entertained by some that Professor Christol threw off the match Christmas night. The in- jurles of Christol are of serious nature, and it will incapacitate him from doing anything in the business he follows for a year or more.
