Indian Scare.

During the past week there have been current in this vicinity many Indian rumors, which, after diligent inquiry, we have failed to trace to any reliable source. Some Mexicans came into Morenci Fri day last who reported having seen Indians on Eagle creek, but they could not say whether they were hostiles or not. To their state ment, doubtless, originated all the rumors, among them the one that Messrs. Cunningham and Creach, who left here on the morning of the 9th for Hampson's ranch, had been killed. Tho friends of these gentlemen in Clifton, in- cluding the well known Indian fighter, Capt. Cutter, discredit the story about the massacre in toto.
 On account of the scare a num- Der of miners working in Gold Gulch and woodchoppers from Eagle creek came into Morenci last week, but as no hostlles have made their appearance, they have doubtless returned to their work ere this appears in print.

The Prescott Miner having men toned a number of names for fed
 eral positions in Ar1zona, among them that of Hon. Pat Ham ilton for Territorial Secretary, the Phoenix Gazette endorses the nomination as follows: "We do not know that Mir. Hamil- ton is an aspirant for the place, but, with all due respect to others mentioned in connection herewith, we believe there is no man who would be more acceptable to our people. He is thoroughly compe- tent, Is an Arizonan in every sense of the word, a sound Democrat, has host of friends at home and abroad, and more fully under stands the needs and requirements of the Territory than any man Tn it. The Gazette is taking no part in the fight now being made for federal positions, but it sincerely hopes that men of ability and integrity will be selected" To all of which we heartily concur. Pat rick Hamilton has occupied many positions of public trust in this Territory, and he has always been faithful. If President Cleveland, in making his selection for Terri torial Secretary, intends to chose from among the many deserving and well-qualitied Democrats of the Territory, he could not make a more popular selection.

From Duncan.


 J. R. Farrell and B. B. Gage made a flying visit to Carlisle last week.
 We had violent wind and rain storm Sunday evening about 5 o'clock. but no damage done.
 Repairing of the wash out on the narrow gauge still goes on, and makes times lively in Duncan. Judge Thurmond has returned from his trip to Big Springs, Texas, looking very much i'm proved.
 The Carlisle Gold Mining Com pany shipped S1s,OOO in gold bullion last week, the product of a ten days run.
 Judge Thurmoud was called to Lordsburg by wire Friday after noon to prosecute a criminal case. No names given.
 Howard c. Boon was unexpect- edly called to Colorado Springs, Monday morning, by telegram from his mother, who is danger ously i'll at that place.
 The roundup commenced Mon day at Hart's ranch, in the Bur TO Mountains. They will come down the Gila river, and expect to reach Duncan about May 15.
 We had our first regularly or ganized Sabbath school Sunday. That is, the school was not divided into classes until that day, and it was decided success. The man. ner in which the superintendent, Prof. Mckay, had the house deco rated, was much of a credit to him and his pupils. After Sab bath school Dr. Paxton delivered thirty-minute lecture on "The full knowledge of God" taking the ground that God did not know all things from the begin ming of the world.

Severe Wind Storm.

Sunday afternoon last Clifton was visited by a wind storm which, perhaps, was the most severe ever experienced in this place. Indeed, it was a veritable cyclone, coming from the East, and it's approach was made known by clouds of dust and q roaring sound like the rush of mighty waters, before the force of its fury was felt in town. After reaching Clifton it sported for a moment with sheet-iron roofing and other light objects, hurling them in every direction, and then seemed to concentrate it's force in the vicinity of the company's build ings on the east side of the river, unroofing portion of the managers dwelling and sending tine roof over the hospital and de- posting it upon the house occu- pied by Justice Casey and family, the roof of which was broken in and the house otherwise so de molished that it remained but a wreck. Mir. Casey was felled by falling timber and pinioned to the floor, receiving painful and serious injuries, from which, however, we are glad to know, he is recover ing. Fortunately, most of the children of the family were not in the house at the time, or more serious results would probably have followed. Strange to relate, no other serious accident oc- cured, and the loss to property was small. A Mexican, who at tempted to cross the lower sus- pension bridge when the storm was at its height, was thrown thirty feet in the air and fell where the water was deepest. He sustained no injury beyond that of an involuntary bath, but upon emerging from the water indulged in language, more emphatic than polite, in his native tongue.

Sunday evening there was a meeting at the school house in Clifton, which was called to order by Col. NJ. J. Egan, who moved that Judge Goodwin take the chair. The object of the meeting was stated to be for the purpose of making arrangements to give an entertainment for tho benefit of Justice D. c. Casey, who was injured during the wind storm of that day. On motion of Col. Egan. a committee of arrangements consisting of the chairman and two members, Messrs. Laage and Naismith were named as the com mittee to arrange for a literary entertainment at the school house next Saturday evening, the pro- ceeds of which will be presented to Mir. Casey as slight token of the regard of our citizens and the sympathy they feel for him in his misfortune. The price of admis- sion tickets was fixed at Sire served seats, g. The object IS good one, and we are glad to see it encouraged. Mir. Casey is a good man, useful citizen and head of large and interesting family. No doubt his accident will disable him from work for a long time. He is one of the most trustworthy mechanics in the em- ploy of the Arizona Copper Com pany.

Capt. N. Ambler, who a couple of years ago brought into this county the best lot of freight teams ever seen in 1t, now that freighting is thing of the past, has concluded to settle down as a cattle man. Some time ago he located range about four miles from Clifton, after having made arrangements for a water supply with the Detroit Copper Com panny, whose pipeline crosses his range, and last week his first in stallment of 450 head of cattle, purchased in Cochise county, ar rived. Capt. Ambler never does anything by halves, and in due time he will come to the front as one of our chief cattle growers.

England has been as proud of Gen. Si

England has been as proud of Gen. Sir
Garnet Wolsely as the ordinary farmer
would be of speckled horse He is one
of the institutions of England, placed
high in the scale of admiration by reason
of his profound military genius. When
knotty question of military expediency
or wisdom presented itself, it was only
necessary for Wolsely to don his badges
and epaulettes, and give his opinion.
That settled it beyond all cavil.
When the despised Ell Mahdi began ca
vorting in the Soudan, with his army of
fanatical Arabs, the British Government
seemed to think that it would be picnic
to destroy him. But this idea was quickly
punched out of the British mind by an
Arabian spear. Then England concluded
to send force into the Soudan which no
power could withstand-even the great
Wolsely. This great soldier went to the
field, trod carefully upon the hot sands,
stuck his fingers in the fire few times,
and concluded that it was entirely too
hot for him. The Mahdi did not fight
according to Wolseley's plans, and he be-
came disgusted and quit. We are told
that Wolsely once expressed the opinion
that Grant was not much of a soldier!

found when too late that the poor
woman had no cancer to be removed.
The disease was indigestion, and if
she had taken the Shaker Extract of
Roots (Siegel's Syrup that awful dis

made the doctors think she had can
Ger, would have been removed. Dis
tress after eating, dull, heavy feeling
in the head, with pains in the side
and back all vanish after using this
wonderful remedy. The tired, Ian

A LITTLE THOUGHT!
J. III. NJ.

J H. W.
A thought is but little thing
Upon the face of Time,
Yet from its hidden depths may spring
A melody sublime;
Or, haply, from its dark recess
Some i'll result may grow,
And that which hath the power to bless,
A bitterness bestow.
A thought is but little spray
Upon life's thorny tree,
Too often idly thrown away,
Or broken carelessly;
A tender blossom, rudely shorn
OF every lovely hue
Which, from the parent branches torn,
Lies hidden from the view.
A thought is but tiny dart,
In trepidation hurl'd,
The venture of doubling heart
Before cruel world;
A thought may lead the soul along
Upon the better way
A thought may fill the heart with song,
And bless it, day by day.
thought may CLEAN, a radiant star,
Above life's gloomy night,
Lighting the pathway, from afar.
With rays of cheering light;
A thought may be poisoned sting
Beneath brilliant hue,
Which, though it seem a beauteous thing,
The danger shineth through.
Lord, build us up in noble thought,
Beneath Thy sheltering love,
Let every wavering mind be taught
By beauties from above;
Give every earnest soul to see
The glories of Thy Throne
That every faithful heart may be
A copy of Thine own.

Perhaps our citizens do not think
without having attention called to the
fact-that the best time in the world to
have vaults cleaned, is in rainy, wet
weather. In doing this work the men
frequently have to haul water to use in
assisting the work, and when there are
good rains, and the creeks are running
we'll, the contents of vaults can be dispos-
ed OF in better way than by digging
holes outside the corporation. All vaults
should be cleaned before the hot weather
sets in
