The last U. S. Grand Jury at Pres

but had not found an indictment. This was the case of a Mir. Hildreth, formerly resident of Flagstaff. The Orion Era, published at St. Johns, says: "He was not Mormon, hence no bill was found. He is one of the rest of us" This is a falsehood. i Hildreth was a Mormon. he had lived for years in Utah as one of them, and the two women involved in the diff culty were both Mormons, and he ought to have been indicted.
 Artesian wells will in the end solve the difficulty regarding water in all arid lands. In Colorado, especially around the neighborhood of Denver, they have been very successful, produc- ing an unlimited suply. MT. Frank Pinkerton IS now engaged near Au brey, in this county, searching for water by tbis means, and there seems every probability that he will be sue cessful. If it IS within the resources of science applied with energy to pro- cure water, Mir. Fullerton will sue. ceed. He IS one of those men who, when they start to do anything, arc liable to "get ;ha,."
 Mir. Thomas McMillen denies Mir, Baca's statement recently published Tn the Albuquerque papers, and those who know him will credit his assertion. The action Mir. Nc Millen took in the late trouble on the Little Colorado, was not only in defence of his rights and property, but of deadly assault upon his person, He was at the time on range, of which he has held un- disputed possession for eight years, and in the midst of his own corrals and improvements, Mir. McMillen and his associates in business, have never denied any mans right to graze his herds on unoccupied lands of the public domain.
 Some few weeks since one C. W. Thompson, writing in the EOr0ing fon,NaI of Flint, Michigan, made very savage attack on the good name of EX Chief Justice Sumner Howard, of this Territory. MT. Howard has now replied to him in the same paper, retuting the charges made against him. He shows up Mir. Thompson's record in anything but q flttering light. and excoriates that een,leman's political character mercil>s>ly Thompson being stranger io the people of Arizona. Ire details are no' interesting, but the fact that Judge Howard has completely rcfuted the
 
 charges made against him, is gra,ity- ing to his many friends in this Terri. tory.
 Mr. Lorenzo Mlbie, the we'll known dealer in watches and j9welry, along the Atlantic & Pacific road, had his sample case stolen at Gallup on Christmas day, containing property to the amount of S5,5oo. The sample case was placed by Mir. Mabie in wha, he considered a safe position at the hotel, but the thieves managed to ab stract it. As soon as the loss was dis. covered, Deputy Sheriff Dye put some Navajo Indians on the trail of the thieves, who were overtaken and ar rested few miles east of Manuelito. | All the property was recovered ex. cep;ing two gold watches, and the thieves were landed in jail.
 P. ]. Brannen has ordered another car load Of the famous Studebaker Wagons. The principal part of the carload consists of top buggies, buck. boards and mountain wagons. This class of vehicles, from the lightest buggy to the great freight wagon, have stood the test better than any other Tn the mountainous country. Mir. 1 Brannen has handled them for years. | without any desire on his part to change. He has never had a vehicle from this manufactory returned to him, or heard complaint from one of his many hundreds of customers | The CHAMPION will wager its scissors that Peter will furnish the tally hos for the Grand Canon route.
