 There were JOS beef cattle shipped from Wilcox in January-the smallest number Tn sny month since the fall shipments commenced.
 One of the cowboys who attended tbe dance at the AnZona House on Tuesday night said he had DO idea that so many pretty girls Rs were there assembled could be rounded up" in Wilcox and vicinity.

 another of just the sIzs necessary to ad-
 mt one steer, which having entered, the
 doors are closed. The butcher now
 sscizes an iron bar having at Its end sharp steel lance, which he plunges from sn elevated standpoint into the neck of the animal which drops as though shot through the brain. The door connecting the slaughter house with the stall IS now opened, n chain is thrown around the horns ot the lifeless steer and by means ot large wheel the animal IS drawn rom the stall upon the floor, bled, skinned, halved, and in less than half an hour the two sides of the bovine, re- sp!endent with healthy, glossy fat, hang on the frsme provided for that purpose.
 On the north side of the slaughter mouse tEere is large kettle immured ID an oven of adobe and brick for the heating ot the water required to scsld sMlbe,the requisite number of which are allowed io enter into small stall Gi- !oining trough which stands immedi- ately m front of the kettle. h the stall they are knocked m the head, bled and dragged into the trough, when tLe scaliiug water is allowed to flow over them. In "less than no tins" the bris- ties disappear and the clean, appetizing, shining surface of the erst dirty hog ap- pears 10 our view.
 The numerous hogs confined in the enclosure above mentioned do excellent service as scavengers, and thanks to their greed and vorGciiy the ofTal inci- dent to a slaughteFIug establishment, disappears like magic, leaving not even a trace ot an unpleasant odoE about the | premises. JOHN A. SPRING.

uated about l2 miles of Tombstone md
 within me limits of another of these
 grants. The Colonel is thoroughly in
 earnest and proposes to go to Washinp
 ron himself backed by a monster protes,
 together with all the evidence that can
 De gleaned of the fraudulent character
 or the clalnns by his co-worker, Mir, Hen
 ey, upon the home field. In all of tbese
 so-called land grant claims the facts in
 their naked simplicity, are all that is nec- essary to defeat the confirmation. |, should be remembered, however
 that Congressman, in general are
 Ignorant of the great and multi
 plying Of interests involved. and
 imagine they are granting a small strin
 or land only three mlles wide in n vast
 unsettled desert country, and of little or
 no value. Whereas tue effect of grant
 ing one and half miles on each side nf
 the rIVer Is virtual concession Inf au
 the land for from ten to twenty miles nm
 each side owing to the nature and com. formation ot the country. Each com gressmsn IS pressed wltA business D, more Importance, and has besides bis own local axe to grind, and the couse-
 Suence Is that ln the absence of s.rsp-- ons opposition, supported by urdspiabla tell tale facts, he is too apt to r.ly im- fEcitly Upan the recommendation of the surveyor general, who is clothed in a sort ot qugslludICial authority to ey- anine and report upon these claims. ana especlaily when that recommendation comes to him, as this one does, aoproy- ed by the then Secretary of the Interior Teller, and also by committee that had charge of the bill and Is supposed 10 have examined the matter thorouob- y. Congressman generally do uot Know and VIII not know unless the se,- Hers take immediate steps to inform | them, that this has been a stsr-chamber | one-slded proceeding from beginning to | end. If the grants are once confirmed. | endless litigation at great expense is sure to follow, and ln such a case the | poor settler IS invariably worsted. "An ounce ot prevention Is better than n pound of cure" Settlers should remem- Der too that In unity there IS strength. and all stand firmly together m fight Ing agaInst these claims. The spirit of the age Is against land grabbing. Con- sress has shown a like spirit, and IS for teltlng all grants the conditions of which were not performed within the specified time. So there Is every reason to believe that R determined, well-cop- 1ucted fight will meet with unqualified success. Mr. Heney sad Col. Lewis will address another meeting at Tres Alamos to-day, snd the CITIZEN heartily wishes he gentlemen complete success as a de- serving reward tl their energetic efforts ID behalf of She muchly oppressed settlers.

Curious Prophecy 9f an Apache Medi-
 iciDp Man.

\ curious story, with regard to the killing fl Captain Crawfori, Is told by Mir. Kinney, the courier who rode through from NacOri 70 Sonora with dispatches, which may give clue to the great influence welded by Apache med iciue men, who sometimes make many lucky guesses in their divinations. The Apaches are firm believers m the powers of spirits and never undertake an enter prise, least of all campaign, without consulting theIr medicine men. These fellows go into frances and humble an- swers to auctions. These answers are supposed to be oracular re sponses from spirits who tempo rarily possess the medicine mans body.
 On the present occasion the spirits said Brawford's conmand would m 0 certain number of days wind up their campaign against the renegade ChlrI- cahuas, but big chief would die. Not understanding the reply or anxious to obtain more satisfaction the Apache scouts waited seven hours. But the spirits adhered to the first statement. Big Chief would soon die" The scouts are said to be deeply impressed with what to them is more than chance com cidence. The ChjricahuBs were discov- cred within the tune fixed.-Ex.
