The Arizona champion., 1886-01-02

i cred one case ot ilieSai COnaOltatiOn, but had not found an indictment. This was the case of MT. Hildreth
 formerly resident of Flagstaff. Tn, 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, 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, especiall, around the neighbcrhood of Denver, they have been very successful, produc, ing an unlimited suply. MT. Frank Fullerton IS now engaged near Au, brey, in this county, searching for water by this means, and there seem. every probability that he will be suc- cessful. If it is within the resources of science applied with energy to pro, cure water, Mir. Pinkerton will sue, ceed. He is one of those men who, when they start to do anything, are liable to "get ;hai,"
 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 MT. Nc Mullen 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 G. W. Thompson, writing in the EVening Tou,uak, of Flint, Michigan, made a very savage attack on the good name of Ex Chief Justice Sumner Howard, of this Territory. Mir. Howard has now replied to him in the same paper, reiuting the charges made against him. He shows up Mir. Thompson's record in anything but httterine light. and excoriates that genlleman's political character merciIcssly Thompson being . stranger to the people of Arizona, the details drc no interesting, bu, the fact that Judge Howard has completely refuted the charges made against Linn, is gratity- ing to his many friends in this Terri. tory.
 Mr. Lorenzo Mabie, the we'll known dealer in watches and jswelry, along the Atlantic & Pacific road, had his sample case stolen at Gallup on Christmas day, containing property to the amount of $500. The sample case was placed by Mir. Mabie in what he considered safe position at the hotel, out the thieves managed to ab. strsct it. As soon as the loss was dis covered, Deputy Sheriff Dye put some Navajo Indians on the trail of the who were oyertaken and ar rested a few miles east of Manuelito. All the property was recovered ex- cepting two gold watches, and the thieves were landed in jail.
 P. J. Brannen has ordered another car load of the famous Studebaker Wagons. The principal part of the 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. MT. Brannen has handled them for years, without any desire on his part to change. He has never had 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 -ho' s for the Grand Canon route.
