John Norton, N. Marble, A. N. Holden and John Marble, four saints of the Mor- mon church, now languish in the county jail, having been convicted of petty lar ceny and sentenced to five days impris- onment and to pay fine of twenty-five dollars each, or in case of failure to pay the fine then to be imprisoned for fifteen days. They were found guilty of stealing several tons of hay from John Westbrook, who lives at Amity, small town about three miles from Springer vile, and were tried before Juan Armjo Justice of the Peace, of Tule. We are glad to see that the evil doers in Apache county are being brought to justice. and it is to be hoped that the sheriff will not let them remain idle at an expense to the county. but put them to work on the streets and roads. These are the kind of people Bishop Milner calls HER -Mormons.

A RIGHTEOUS VERDICT.

Correspondence to Prescott Courierl
 The conviction of Udall for perjury in falsely swearing that the locator of a homestead claim in Apache county had resided continuously on the property, when in fact he had been continuously absent, should be noted far and wide throughout the Territory. The home stead act is essentially poor mans law, passed for the benefcient purpose of enabling the poorest of our citizens to provide his family with a home and a heritage, and to be the peer of the rich est in education and independence. Our Territory has not an abundance of available agricultural land. Every schemer and speculator who takes up the soil by pretended compliance with the provisions of the act, for any other purpose than that of making his home on his location, is swindler and a rob- Der, preying on the class that can the least afford to be despoiled. That mil lions ot good acres have been so filched from the public domain and resold to honest workers at high price is too well-known to admit of denial. This
 first effort to put stop to it in this sec tion entities our officers to the best thanks of the community. Udall and his principal, Romney, are but two of a large number whom we trust will be brought to justice. In any event the fate of Udall should be timely warming to speculative non-settlers.

Holbrook, in this county, notwith- standing the terrible pressure of univer- sal stagnation of business in the great southwest, has succeeded in going straight ahead to the full measure of success in everything undertaken by her energetic people. There is not upon the line of the Atlantic & Pacific rail- way a town or settlement of greater promise.
 The work on the great dam that will fill the proposed irrigating canal, that is staked out all along the foothills north of the river, is we'll under way, and the coming season will present to view fine ly cultivated fields where the sage brush and chapparel have fourished for ages.
 The railway company improvements are of the most substantial character, and nothing has been neglected that could aid to the convenience and com fort of passengers, or for the conven- fence in handling freight.
 The merchants of the town are awake to the demands of the public, hence the stocks are as complete as might be expected in a town ten times the size of this young giant. The firm of Stivers & Burbage are dealers in general mer- chandise; they have their floors filled with first class goods; they succeeded Nathan Earth, at the old stand along side the railroad track.
 A. & B. Schuster, who now occupy the store formerly known as F. 4. Breed & Co.,. carry an immense stock ot general merchandise. They have a large trade, and will grow rich during the coming prosperous days for Arizona.
 Field & Harvey are in the same line; their success is manifested by the crowds that daily are found at their sales room.
 c. Lindinburger provides the town with bread and cakes; he keeps large stock of eatables, and is mainly patron ized by the housekeepers, and passen- gers who require to replenish their lunch baskets. Mir. Lindinburger is an untiring laborer, and is a public bene- factor in his care for his many GUS toners.
 Three magnificent saloons are run under the direction of their owners Scorse, Perkins, and Peterson.
 Two good hotels are also run here, the Apache and the Holbrook house.
 Here, too, is the headquarters of the government agent for the military post at Camp Apache. From this point are hundreds of tons of supplies forwarded to its destination. Thrift is everywhere seen in commerce, and the mechanic need never know an Idle day. Uncle Sam's anvil gives pleasant sound to the ear. Several new residences are being erected, and several new wives will occupy them in the near future. Howard Perkins new building will be an ornament to the town.
 Taking in the whole situation, one can see that Holbrook's future is as promising as her present is pleasant and profitable, and the county seat greets her fourishing sister of the railroad with a thousand congratulations
