J.B. THoMls, who has been so urgently requested by his many friends in Flagstaff and vicinity, to allow his name to go before the Republican County Convention, as a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Yavapai County, has informed his supporters that he is not candidate for any office. We understand that his req son for declining, is on account of private business matters, which will not allow him to devote his time to making personal canvas of the county. His friends regret that he will not make the run. If public ex pressio,, is worth anything,we believe that Mir. Thomas was a strong man for the position and if nominated would have been elected.

INDIAN NEWS.

The depredations and cold blooded murders committed by the Apache Indians, during the last three weeks are reported as follows;
 On the 9th of August, they attacked a Mexican freight train south of Cum. pas, killing eight men and taking forty-seven horses. On the Sth they raided ranch at Bodaquachi, three miles from Cumpas, taking their choice of over 100 head of horses. On the 10th they killed three Americans and wounded two more. They also stole stock in the vicinity of !ecou and Cumpas. They then went into the mountains east of Cumpas, and on the nth fought Mexican force all day, making at last good stand of. On the I4th they killed three Mexicans at the Bacahi mine, four leagues west of Cumpas.
 On August a6th eleven Apaches of Geronimo's band attacked six Amer. jeans near the Santa Rosa district. The fight lasted from II to } p. m. Three Americans were killed: J. E. O'Brien, John Hatcher and J. Thomp. son; and two Americans were wound. ed; R, McMahone and John Of. None of the Indians were killed.
 A dispatch from Wilcox dated Aug. aoth says, Colonel Wade has rounded up all the Chiricahua and Warm Spring Apaches, has the men under guard, and will, unless some accident occurs, carry out General Miles plan of removing them all out of the terri tory, which will be relief, not only to the citizens, but to the troops. Captain Lawton is in close proximity to Geronimo, who has asked for bet ter terms than unconditional surren- der. The chances are that he will not get them.
 General Miles has received notifca. ton that Geronimo desires to meet him at the San Bernardino ranch, and make terms looking to surrender of himself and band.
 A dispatch dated Aug. 3Ist to the Albuquerque Journal says: A Mexican who spent the day in Geronimo's camp, was told by him that the terms which were offered to him for surren- der were that his two wives be brought back from Florida, and that himself and nineteen of his companions be given seperate reservations, not on the sea coast. He said, in other words, if General Miles did not want to agree to these terms he could go to hades.

FOR sHERIFF.

It affords us great pleasure to pub- fish this week, the announcement of John N. Berry, of this place, as a candidate before the Republican County Convention, which meets at Prescott, the 18th of this month, for the office of Sheriff of Yavapai Coun- ty. The friends of MT. Berry, who have requested and urged upon him to make the race for Sheriff, are a legion, and comprise gentlemen who belong to both political parties. He is resident of our town, large tax payer, has resided for several years in Arizona, and is familiar with county affaiis; gentleman of integrity and sterling honor, onewho has not known enemy in the county. A gentleman of thorough business qualifications, who is in every way capable to con duct the affairs of the Sheriff's office in an efficient and economical man. ner. He will go into the convention with the unanimous support of every delegate along the line of the A. x P. R. R., and We believe that when the convention meets, he will be found the strongest man that the Republican party can nominate.

TO THE ELECTORS OF Y.AVA-
 PAI COUNTY.

GENTLEMEN:- Believing that can dor is as commendable in political candidate as Tn any other individual, 1 desire to call your attention to a few facts concerning my candidacy for the Probate Judgeship of your county, subject to the action ol the Republican County Convention. A resident of Arizona for nearly ten ears-not because l was first forced to come here or lacked the means of leaving-I have during that period fully realized the fact that men are elected to public offices Tn Arizona, not so much on account of their possessing pre-eminent qualifications, as liberal endowment of that valuable article commonly called "gall," and having by long connection with the Terri torial press gathered more of that commodity than anything else, have concluded to shy my "castor into the political arena" to realize something on 1t. l do SO entirely on my own responsibility. No "anxious public, !" "the solicitation of many friends" nor "the wishes of many prominent citi- zens," have made the slightest effort to "bluf' me into doing 1t. To be frank, it is not a case where the office is wearing itself out hunting the man; no. much. Here it is the man wear ing himself out hunting the office, and rustling like sheol to get it, for the sim. pie reason that it IS soft berth with a salary of Sa, ,ooo per annum attached. While in the way of special qualified. tions, have no advantage over seventy-hve per cent. of my fellow citizens in the county, yet l believe am fully competent to discharge all the duties incident to the office in an efficient manner if elected. If you coincide in this opinion, support me, if you see fit. If you do not, you will by no means jeopardize the safety of the universe by defeating me.
 Yours fraternally.
 VIM. O. DWELL.

IN Yavapai and Cochise counties the local committees will appoint the delegates to the Territorial Demo cratic Convention. This does not exactly conform with the Democratic idea of a full expression of the will of the people, but as it is not our pie, we will not attempt to cut it.-Phenix Gazette.-They have already gone and done it, and your kick is of no avail. The bosses appear to have the big end of the stick, and the dear people can like or lump it, as they choose.

ALBUQUERQUE FAIR.

According to the programme which has been issued by the management of the New Mexico Exposition, at Albu- querque, the fair this fall will eclipse anything ot its kind ever before had in that city.
 Secretary Wheelock has been very energetic in his duties and has every thing in fine order, and we are in formed that it will be a grand success. On account of the excellent accommo- dations provided for stock and the premiums offered, it will cause stock men from all portions of the south. west to bring their best horse; and cat tie. We hope that the people of Flag staff and vicinity, who have as fine blooded horses and cattle as can be found anywhere, will enter the lists and carry off some of the prizes offer ed, and from all we can learn Flag staff will be we'll represented.

AN English temperance missionary says that the Burmese have popular drink, which will dissolve an English rife bail in 90 minutes. During the war,the boys in the army used to talk about the raw "applejack" that was distilled in the Tennessee mountains, dissolving chunks of fat pork that were plunged into il, and eating the solder off the canteens in wtich it was carried, and we have heard of a class of wet goods being sold in Arizona, called "sheephcrders delight" which would make a man steal his own blankets, but this recent bullet dis solver appears to bethe boss fire water yet manufactured.

THE democratic delegates from Flagstaff, to the county convention which meets at Prescott on Sept. I3th, next, if they desire to nominate rep resentative men to the legislature, should place the name of J. F. Daggs before the convention for a member of the Territorial Legislature. MT. Daggs is representative man, one of the largest tax payers, fully conver- sant with the wants and requirements of our people, and would, if elected, come out at the cad of the legislative session with record alike creditable to himself and his supporters.

RECENT press dispatches say that Special Envoy Sedgwick, who was sent to the City of Mexico, in con nection with the Cutting case, has announced his arrival there by getting on a "high lonesome," more general ly called big drunk. Himself and some of the caballeros of the land of the Montezumas, took in the city one night and painted the place a Swiss sun set color. Apparently the great party of economy and reform, are put. ting some of their men where they gill do the most good.

AN earthquake and tidal wave visit cd some of the southern states last Tuesday, causing fearful loss of lite and property. A passenger train was thrown from the track at Summerville, s. C. The engineer and fireman were killed and the town was nearly des- troyed. Many persons were killed and hundreds are homeless. At Char leston, South Carolina, the fire which occurred, coupled with the devastation caused by the earthquake and tidal wave, makes the destruction to prop erty and life unknown. No one can tell the number killed or injured. The principal part of the city is reported as destroyed and hundred of families are homeless. Latest dispatches state that one hundred and fifty houses have been destroyed, and that the number of persons burned to death is unknown.
