PRESCOTT, Ariz., PA courier has
Just arrived from Walnut Greek, forty
miles west of here, with intelligence
that Deputy Sheriff J. NJ. Murphy,
had been murdered there last night
while attempting to arrest ID. w.
Dilda, charged with burglary. Muir
ply was warned of the desperate
character of the man and was offered
assistance, which he refused. Shortly
after leaving the neighboring ranch,
firing was heard and Murphy's failure
to return instigated search for him.
They found where he had apparently
fallen and been dragged away, but
his body had not been found when
the courier left. Sheriff Mulvenon
and posse have just left, heavily
armed, for the scene of the tragedy
Ii Dilda is captured he will probably
be lynched, as Murphy was one Of the
most popular men in Yavapai county

SILVER CITY, N. NJ, Dec. 22.-The
ambuscade, by the Apaches, of Lieu
tenant Fountains command, near
White House, on Saturday morning,
was perfect and successful surprise.
The troops were following fresh trail
with avidity, without apparently
thinking of an ambush, and were
within short range when the In
dams opened FIRE with fatal effect. In
the fight which followed the renegades
had every advantage, and it is a won
der that more OF the soldiers were
not killed. The Indians being dis
mounted dispersed in various direc-
tons and we're soon out of the way OF
pursuit by the troops. Surgeon Mad
dox, who is among the killed, was
about thirty-three years old, and q
native of Maryland, where his father
also physician, is still practicing
He was very popular, and his death is
deeply mOurned. This disaster to
the troops has created great excite
ment in this locality.

Sulphur Springs Valley, about %
miles from Tombstone There are
only about five ranches in Sulphur
Springs Valley, and there are not
more than fifteen men in a radius OF

soldier having, while searching for
water, dug a number OF holes there in
quest of it, and was apply rewarded.
In response to l. lest that he
should relate some OF tic incidents OF

Temperance Text Books.

Miss Mary A. Vests answer to the
charge that the demand for temperance
nhvsiology and hygiene in the public
schools is a scheme to benefit publishers:
uThe demand for temperance teaching
in public schools originated in the mother.
heart Of the nation, thus seeking protection
for its children. The demand is most
heartily seconded by the industrial inter.
ests which see in the meacure protection
tor the industries Of the State against the
drink habit of employees,-their worst an
tagonist, as all agree. Other business in
,erests ioin in this demand. The text book
interest which you imagine is behind this
movement, has, thus far, opposed, rather
than favored it. Some Of the hardest bat
Ties our women have fought have been
with the great text book publishing com.
panies.
"The wording of the bill gives no more
chance for text book scheme, than does
the present school law which requires the
teaching of reading, spelling, geography,
arithmetic, etc. All are taught from text
books, as this bill requires physiology and
hygiene with especial reference to the ef:
fects Of alcoholic drinks, stimulants and
narcotics, to be. The bill is simply and
purely the creation of the motherhood Of
the State, with which text book publishers
had nothing to do Have not mothers a
right 10 ask this Of the State? For every
child in the public school some mother
has gone down to the gates of death.
Children thus purchased are too dear to
become drunkards or the wives of drunk
ards; if their mothers believe that this bill
will, in any degree, avert this fate, give it
to then,."
