The legislature Of Vermont has re.
jected : "valued policy" bill. In New
Hampshire . similar act has been in
effect more than year, and it is admitted
BY % pronounced an opponent Of such
legislation u the New York Post that
none Of the evil enacls predicted Of it
have u yet been realised. Some incon-
venieuce has resulted from the with.
drawsl Of outside insurance companies
from the state; but there is reason to
believe that year or two more Of com
petition in the business will convince
underwriters that it is foolish to abstain
from field where good risks can be
taken, simply because they cannot collect,
premiums 90 greater amounts than they
are willing to pay in case Of loss.
OregoniaN.
Why should insurance companies be
allowed to collect premiums on a larger
amount than they are willin. to pay, in
case Of fire, or other casualty? II man
insures for $1,000 and pays the annual
premiums and is burned out, he should
collect tho full amount for which he was
insured. If be iusures on the life Of
his vie fer $4,000 and pays the full
premium and she dies he recovers the
amount for which she was insured.
There Is no board Of adjustment upon
the value Of her life; why should there
Be in the case Of building insured for
$4,000. We understand that an effort
i to b made this winter to premit in.
surance companies 10 Idaho to collec,
premiums on greater amount than
insurance companies are compelled 10 pay
IN case the lost property can be shown to
b less than the amount for which it was
insured and on which the premiums has
heen paid. The legislature at the last
sesaioa did the wise thing 10 enac.ins
the present law aud it should not BE-
changed to crafty the greed OF insur.
noe companies.

thinks it feasible, and on account of TIL
shortness Of time required to construct it

Die diligence in urging congress to

A Good System Suuelched.


 The following circular letter has been received from the Central office of Wells Fargo's Express by their agents in this Territory:
 "The officials of the Territory of Ari- z,na claim that Wells, Fargo & Con- pany's Express are subject to quarterly tax of $2o, on the ground that the trans mission of funds by our money order system makes us dealers in exchange As the price at which the money orders are sold is so exceedingly small, we have concluded to withdraw them from all our offices in Arizona and stop their sale in that Territory. The convenience, safety and economy of this new system, which has been SO much appreciated by the public throughout all the States and Territories, will now be unavailable to the residents of Arizona. We do not believe the Territorial law to which we are referred, properly construed, imposes any tax upon this branch of the express business, but the profits derived from the money order system are so insignificant we deem it preferable to withdraw their sale rather than go to the expense of contesting the question in the courts"

A REMARKABLE EVENT.
The Apaches Allow Two Captured Mexi-
 cans to Go Unharmed,

A gentleman just in from the San Pe- dro custom house informs the EPITAPH that the published reports of the recen, | Apache depredations in that vicinity are not correct. The killing of the Mesca-
 eros did not occur at the Mescal ranch but at Bonneyrand's cattle ranch about 20 miles east of San Pedro. A man named Miguel Gaxiola bought some mescal at the Mescal ranch, and with three men, were taking it to Magdalena. On reaching Bonneyrand's place, Gaxio- la stopped to converse with Bernardo Gotta, who is one of Bonneyrand's her der's, while the three others kept on with the wagon to a spring some distance be- yond the house. The teamsters had just unhitched at the spring when they heard shots and looking back, saw the Apaches dispatch Gotta and Gaxiola. Being unarmed they took to the hills but were pursued, overtaken and brought back to the wagon. The Indians broke open the two barrels of mescal and though there were but eight of them, they drank fully one. quarter of barrel. The liquor evidently put the Apaches in good humor, for they proceeded to taunt the Mexicans and enjoyed the discom- iture of their captives hugely.
 Don't you think we mean to kill you?" asked the leader of the band.
 "Si Senor," answered the Mexicans in one voice.
 "Woudnt you think we were good fellows if we let you go now3" contl- nued the chief.
 "Si Senor," came again instantaneous. Iy.
 "Well, you may go. You had no ri- ies and so did not intend to harm any one, so we shall not harm you," and for the first time, an Apache showed Mexi can mercy.
 This occurred Monday evening. Ear ly Tuesday morning the Mexcans reached the custom house. It was not till Wednesday that men were sent out to bury the murdered ones, but some American cattlemen had found the bodies and inferred them before the guards from San Pedro arrived.
 At the custom house our informant saw Ramon Moreno and Xavier Mendez, the scouts who guided Captain Hatfield last Saturday, when he fought the Apa- ches in a canyon in the Santa Cruz

CAPT. HATFIELD IN SONORA.
His Daring Exploits in the Land of
 MOntezuma,

| m0nt6zumd
 Senor Moreno describes the encoun
 ter. The Indians were encamped at d
 large spring on the north end of Cuitaca
 ranch, and ,he troops following the trail
 came upon the hostles while they were
 preparing breakfast. When about 300
 yards from the enemy the troops fired a
 volley, whereupon the Apaches scattered, leaving everything behind them. All the blankets, saddles, spurs and the little ammunition found were packed upon the captured horses and the command again took up the trail. Senors Morero and Bender and sergeant took the lead and kept on the trall until noon, when they halted at spring in canyon to drink and rest and await the troops, as the m. dicatons showed that the hostiles were not far away. As soon as the troops reach the springs the Indians opened frt on them from all sides, some of the Apaches being within twenty feet of the water, where they could have killed the sergeant and the scouts any time befor, the soldiers arrived, had they cared to dc do so. The troops and scouts were thoroughly surprised and thrown into disorder at once. Captain Hatfield or dered them to dismount, but only eight ooeyed. The others fled, not only for the eearcst shelter, as brave men might nave done under the circumstances, buI for Santa Cruz, the nearest point oi safety, and did not spare their horses in getting there.
 Senors Moreno and Mendez speak in
 he highest terms of Captain Hatfeld', courage, and say no braver man ever sal n saddle; but the Castilian vocabulary las no word vile enough to express their opinion of his command. In the de- serted camp at Cuitaca the scouts count ed twenty-one beds and believe that was the number of Apaches opposed to the troops in the Santa Cruz canyon, and while tl.is force should have readily sue cumbed to the soldiers that encountered them, it was too great for the few men that remained with the gallant Captain, md hence they fell back gradually y and, not being pursued, proceeded to Santa Cruz and joined the others.
 Iu this engagement two soldiers were killed and two non-commissioned officers wounded. The scouts are positive that some Indians were killed, also; but as the field was left to the Apaches, their loss was not learned.
 It was noticed that two of these Indi- ans carried field glasses; one had quite large telescope and two had rifles oi great length. Ammunition appeared to 1e abundant with the band, and being ,hus well equipped, they will be bad lot to meet and hard lot to fight. The scouts think the recent depredations in the San Jose, Mule and Dragoon moun- tains were perpetrated by this band; and IS the number reported having been seen in the Dragocns would correspond with the number in the band that fought Hatfield, and as they evidently came from Sonora, we are inclined to believe that Senors Mendez and Moreno have surmised correctly.
