Hot NllOt.

Brown, of Georgia, and Maxey, of Texas, were the orators in the senate re- gently on the silver question. One of MT. Browns best points was this:
 "If the public creditors were paid thir ty or forty millions of silver their endea- vor would be to keep up the value of sil. yer. If paid gold alone, their endeavor would be to depreciate the value of sill yer to make it represent less property"
 MT Maxey said
 1.-The silver advocates repelled the inn putation that they wanted to take any advantage of their creditors by paying a dollar debt in an eighty cent dollar. A fouler lie had never been issued against brave and industrious people. The people knew that the fall of silver was the result of conspiracy of combined capital to destroy silver as money metal, and the gamblers were but reap ing the fruits of their own folly"

CRAWFORD'S DEATH.
Further Authe utic Particulars
 of the Tragedy.
Kenegades Aald to Receive shelter In
 Sonora Towns.

From ]. J. Chatham, who arrived Tn town yesterday, from Guadalupe Canjop, further particulars are learned of the tragedy at Nacori, an account of which was given to the public in our special dispatch yesterday.
 On Tuesday last, at a. m., scout came into Camp San Bernardino, two miles from San Bernardino ranch. He was on his way to General Crook, with a dispatch. From him it was learned that, on the I7th instant, Captain Crawford's command, consisting of Apache scouts and one or two citizen couriers, had at tackled a band of hostiles. In the first fire he routed them, taking their camp equipage and capturing Chief Mana, one buck and seven women and children These prisoners are supposed to have arrived at Guadalupe yesterday, under escort. Captain Crawford at the time ofthe attack, supposed he had struck the main band of hostiles and was making des- perate effort to corral the others. He did not know whether Geronimo be- longed to the band or not, but believed that he had the bulk of the hostiles Tn front, and knowing that he had their entire camp equipage, ponies etc., was eagerly pressing forward. expecting to come Into action the next day, at an early hour.
 Next day in place of meeting the hos tiles, he came across body of Mexican Guerillas, who at once commenced firing on his scouts. Crawford rode forward in advance, waving his hat and his hands and crying out: Don't shoot, we are Americans and your friends" "DutchY" the Indian scout, who was near him, also called out to the Mexicans in English and Spanish: "We are Amerl- cans, do not shootw It was too late, however, for Captain Crawford had already been struck twice by bullets, first in the side and then over the eye. He died seven hours afterwards. The person who seemed to be leader of the Mexicans fired the fatal shot which struck Crawford in the head. "Dutchy," seeing that his master was shot down, took deliberate aim and fired at the man who shot Crawford, killing him. Quite desperate engagement then took place, between the scouts and Mexicans, several being killed on each side before the off, cers could put stop to it.
 The Mexicans were sort of irregular militia body, recruited from various dis trtcts of that portion of Sonora. It is not believed that any soldiers of the regular Mexican army were implicated in the affair. It is stated that the inhabi- tants of the small towns of Sonora, where the Indians are raiding, are in the habit of shelering the renegades and that they nave even gone so far as to petition the Mexican congress to make treaty with the Chiricahuas. It is supposed to be a body recruited from this class of people that attackek Crawford's command.

NOTICE!
To the Occupants of Lots on the 'way
 Up- Mining Claim Surface.

have heretofore notified you that l own three.fifths of the surface ground of the Way Up mine. l now notify you that claim no right to said ground against any one who has been in posses sion of lot or lots thereon for five years, as I think the five years Statute of limita tion commenced to run on September P, 1880, when the patent to the town site issued. But, in any event, l would not disturb any one who has improve ments on lot for several years; unless, in the case of one who has indentiied himself with those who fraudulently ob- tained the townsite title from Alder Ran dall, mayor, or who now buys or has late ly bought of them or given them aid or assistance.
 But, as to all of the lots on said Way Up mine now vacant or unoccupied, or that have lately been settled on or bought from the townste claimants, or claimants under the Way Up mine, will assert my rights, but will sell at reasonable price, reserving my right to refuse to sell to any one who, by purchasing lots as aforesaid from other claimants and pay ing for more than two.fifths thereof has indentifed himself with the frauds.
 N.B. The two-fifths interest in said Way Up surface which do not own or claim, does not belong to any one in Tombstone, as near as can find out by the records ofthe county.

A Painful Accident.

A sad accident happened yes terday, about noon, to Mir, w. B. Walker, the assayer. He had been sampling some ore, on the 200 foot level of the Lima mine, which is situated two miles south of town. Desiring to descend winze, about 90 feet in depth, from this level, his friend, Mir. Frank Earle, who was with him, got an old rope, on which he was lowered down to within 20 feet of the bottom, when it was found that the rope was not long enough. Walker then called to Mir. Earle and another man, who was with them, to haul him up. As soon as the strain of his weight came on the rope it snapped, near Mir. Earle's hands and MT. Walker was thrown to the bottom of the winze, distance of about 20 feet, alighting on his feet. In reply to Mr. Earle's mortified inquiry, Walker said he had t"only broken his leg" A piece ofthe bone was, in fact, sticking through his clothes. With wonderful nerve, he bound up his leg to stop the flow of blood.
 Mir. Earle says he never saw anyone evince such coolness and self possession, uader so trying circumstances. It was nearly four hours before the sufferer could be brought to the surface. Inves- ugation showed the left leg to broken in several places, from the ankle to the knee and the right ankle sprained. Drs. Dunn and Goodfellow, who have the wounded man in charge, expect soon to have him on his feet again.
 MT. Walker is we'll known throughout the territory and very popular wherever he is known. His many friends sincerely wish him speedy recovery.

Wilcox.

Wilcox is g hourishing town of some 1900 inhabitants. Its admirable location and magnificent surroundings stamp it as place which will at no distant day be of considerable importance. It is at present the point from which freight is shipped for Grant, Thomas, Arivaipa and Globe. It is also the proper shipp- ing point for government freights and all freights forthe government were freighted from this place until about two years ago, when one McConigle, quartermaster oy the grace of God knows who, appeared upon the scene and for reasons best known to himself and which as yet he has failed to make public concluded to transfer the government freight to Bowie station, some thirty miles farther up the line of railroad. The freight from Bowie costs the United States much greater price for its transportation than was paid from Wilcox This is one of the secrets of the department which have been faithfully guarded during the past two years. It is in strict keeping with the conduct of the department in it's "war of extermination" of the Apaches. To show the animous of this quarter masters action, it is only necessary to add, that last July when bidding for government transportation was asked for, a Wilcox merchants bid was $I5 soc below that of Solomon and Wickersham to perform the same services, yet on the face of such odds, the parties offering the
 highest bid were awarded the contract
 and the gallant quartermaster once more
 was made happy.

 The EPITAPH is indebted to Mir. ]. j.. Chatham for the following notes of matters on the frontier:
 Parker, Strauss & Co. are doing well with their sutler business. Their only store, at present, is at Guadalupe canyon under charge of C. A. Shibell, but, in a few weeks, they will have stores at all the camps.
 Last pay day passed off very peace ably. The only affair to chronicle was the sending of four men from Mud Springs, on general charges. At Guada- lupe, on pay day, Capt. Thompson ex- pelled all questionable characters from the camp and ordered "taps" at g o'clock. At Guadalupe, on Wednesday morn- ing, H. troop sent out four men, viz: Privates Willard and Reagan and Ser gent Shaefer, discharged, and Private Meyers, gone east on 30 days furlough. The paymaster left Guadalupe on Wednesday morning, for Huachuca.
 Lieutenant Cook, commander of F. troop, has organized base ball club and proposes to beat Capt. Smith of A. troop, or bust a corporal.
 Lieutenant Wheeler distinguished him- self in the recent raid after hostiles, in the San Jose mountains.
 Among the officers on duty along the line are the following:
 Lieut.. Wheeler Tn command at Mud Springs.
 Lieut.. Cook, the youngest commis- stoned officer in the U. S. army, now in command of F. troop of cavalry, at San Bernardino. He belongs to K. troop and is anxious to join Capt. Dorst, who accompanied Davis to the Sierra Madres.
