Geronlmo's Brother.
From The Tucson citizen, ]

From the Tucson CITIZEN
Geronimo, the Apache cut-teroat,
has brother in San Francisco
called Pixley. Pixley was the bad
boy of the Chiricahua tribe, and
they were compelled to Danish him.
He WAS too wicked for even the
savaees to endure. He would steal
tiswin and keep 30 very drunk that
he could not tell roaring river
from sand hill, and on hls latest
visit to Arizona he fully maintain
ed his reputation FOR debauchery.
His Indian instinct is eternal IN
his licetious breast, and he cannot
tell the truth under any circum-
stances. This is tho object that
keeps its own picture seated upon
a corpse at the head Of the columns
Of the Argonaut "a trayesty on
journalism.
True to his murderous instincts,
this lnhuman monster ASSERTS his
wish that the Chirlcahua hostiles
could "driye the cowardly, drunken
gang of Arizona cowboys, and vol
unteer Arizona blaakgoards, who
are on the warpath, into an ambus-
cade and murder them" He has
evidently stumbled ON to the wrong
bottle Of aquafortis and uncon-
sciously expressed the fiendish inn
pulses that could on inspire such |
a wish. He says the Indians are
unarmed when lie knows that un.
der the terms OF the treaty they
to General Crook in the
Sierra Madress they We're allowed |
"as prisoners of war TO retain not
only their arms and ammunition,
bat horses and stock they had stol-
en- and the booty they had taken
from men, women and children
they had tortured to death. The
hostlles are far better armed than
the soldiers are and they fight
with govarnment cartridges.
But what is the use of wasting
acts OIL argument upon this con-
;eited ass, who has not sense
enough to reason above a lizard2
he has lied without fear and has
brown the insult in the face of ev-
'ry resident of Arizona that they
viii take occasion to return should
hey find themselves in his bloatod
nd cowardly presence. II

While ox,iaguishlng the flames he
was shot dead. His wife ran out
to his assistance, and was shot in
tie shoulder. The last words of
Guenther to his wife were to fly
with the children. She escaped
IN her night-clothes with her four
little oles and wandered uIono in
the sage brush, barefooted, until
morning, when she reached
neighboring ranch. Five hundred
Uies have declared their intention

panies of cavolry. The whole
country is terribly excited.

The Railroad In The Congo.

BERLIN, May 28.-The Vossische Zeitung publishes Brussels dispatch stating that Henry M. Stanley has gone to America to raise funds for the construction of the Congo railway.

It is also announced that the railway will be begun as soon the organ ization of the Congo state is completed.
