How Doe. Your watch Run.

A watch impregnated with magnet ism cannot ''keep time" It will vary irregularly, gaining and losing and stopping, Tn the most annoying sort of way. It has been found that this magnetic or electric influence is the direct cause of the "queer freaks" and unaccountable behavior of fine watches and is the secret enemy which has undermined the reputation and bafffed the skill of our best watchmakers.
 Giles Bro. & Go. have published a very interesting little pamphlet des- cribing the effect of magnetism in watches, which can be had free on application. It also. describes the "Anti.Magnetic Shield for Watches, {" which has been proved to be a perfec, protection against the magnetic and electric influences and is specially advantageous in Railway service where these influences are very strong, and will prevent the breakage of main springs in :cyclones and magnetic storms.

Though the two parties were in the canyon at the same time they did not meet, owing to the dips, spurs and angles of that wonderful chasm.

A Celebrated Hor.. Case.

Judge John Goodwin, justice of the peace of the Verde precinct, brought in the papers to-day, an appeal, of case from his court, which aptly illus trates the beauties of settling small difference through the process of law. The case is entitled P. w. Strahan vs. J. R. Fitzpatrick, and briefly stated is as follows:
 About three years ago Strahan lost a horse. During the early part of this year it was found in Kilpatrick's pos- session and had become great favor ite with the latter's wife as a buggy horse. Strahan was informed of 1t and he proceeded to prove his prop erty and finally got possession of the animal Fitzpatrick then sent an agent to negotiate for its purchase, which resulted in an agreement to pay Strahan SIoo for the animal. An order for that amount was passed and the horse turned over to Kill patrick's agent. When the order was presented for payment, 1t was found that Fitzpatrick had rescinded it, hence the suit which has just been decided in favor of Strahan in Judge Good wins court. Fitzpatrick has taken an appeal to the district court and the papers as they were turned over to the clerk of that court to- day had a COS, bill of sI,o7s tackled on to them, showing that the SIoo horse is rapid ly appreciating.-Journal-Min Miner.
 We agree with the Journal that it is always best to compromise small mat ters, but when one feels that money is being exacted by another to which he has no right whatever, 1t is ume to resist being imposed upon. MT. k'l- patrick is a we'll known merchant in our town, and came into possession of the horse claimed by Mir. Strahan something over a year ago by pur- chase from one Stephen St anley. The horse was turned out for :he winter and was taken up by Strahan as the one he had lost. Fitzpatrick, believing Sirahan's representations of owner ship, agreed to pay him SIoo for the animal if he could prove property, which he failed to do. The order for the money was drlwn in good faith, but before il was presented evidence came to light that Strahan did mol own and never had owned the horse, and consequently the orGer was not paid. Fitzpatrick was estoppsd Tn Judge Goodwln's court from proving hi property in the horse, and so wa Sirahan.
 It is the general opinion that Stra' han took up the wrong animal. and will have to pay dearly for endeavor Ing to sell property that did not be- long to hin. Fitzpatrick can, beyond a doubt, prove his title 10 the horse when allowed 10 do so, and can alsl prove that the horse was never In the Verde valley unlii taken there las winter.
 We think some one will wish blacl horses had not appreciated m yalu, quite so fast. as this one will GUS about &, 900 before the title to hin IS settled.

GLORIOUS NEWS.
Hurrah For Miles and
 LawtOn.
Gero uimo and all his Band Have
 Surrendered.

On Sept. Ist. Geronimo with four teen of his band came into Captain Lawton's camp near San Bernardino ranch, Mexico, threw down their arms and asked for terms of surrender. Lawton told them it must be entire and unconditional. Geronimo then retired and soon brought in his whole band, and the surrender was complete. The news was kept from the public for fear of interference by the civil authorities, but General Miles was at once informed of the surrender. who magnanimously refused to divide the honcrs with Capt. Law ton, but direct ed him to proceed with his command and prisoners to Fort Bowie, where they arrived on the 9th inst, and are confined as prisoners of war. They will illprobably be taken to For, Marion, Florida. This, with the removal from the territory of the seditlous bands ol Apaches from northern Arizona, will at last relieve our people of this dread. full scourge. Capt. Lawton and his noble command are completely worn out and broken down by their arduous campaign. The captain himself, when he arrived at Bowie, was almost nak. ed, his feet being bound up in old leather, and he is a mere skeleton. The debt we owe to this noble chiet. tain and his gallant band can never be paid on this earth.
