A Variety rossib,l,ty.

Tombstone may soon again enjoy the delights of a variety theater. A repre- sentative of the Frush circus troupe ap- peared before the city council last night and asked that body to make reduction in the monthly tax of Si5 asked for va riety show. Should the council agaee to do this, the troupe would open such an entertainment in the Bird Cage. They want to winter somewhere and would try and make expenses this way, but say they cannot afford to pay so high li- cense. The matter was referred to the li- cense committee with power to act.

The kqMaW Captive.

The county court-room was again filled at three o'clock yesterday after noon, the hour fixed for resum,ng the examination of the Apache squaw, Ma dis-ough.
 Mir. Keith Preston was sworn for the prosecution. He testified that he had been employed as herder for Mir. Crouch, and was engaged on his ranch in the Mule mountains. Was at the ranch on December goth, the day the Indians raided the ranch. He saw some of the Indians. The next day he saw the pris- Oner riding one of the horses stolen from the ranch by the Indians. He was one of the par,ies whe captured the squaw.
 This completed the evidence for the Territory and the prosecution rested.
 The defense objected to the jurisdic. tion of the court and submitted the case withou, offering evidence or argument.
 Judge Easton thereupon ordered that the prisoner be held to answer before the next county grand jury, and that her bail be fixed at $I,ooo, which at this writing she has failed to furnish.
 Mir. Clum, who is acting as interpreter in the case, sent the. following dispatch to San Carlos yesterday morning:
 TOMBSTONE, Jan 6, 1886. Captain Pierce, Acting Indian Agent,
 San Carlos, A. T:
 Apache squaw in jail here says she was captured during recent attack on Reservation Indians by renegades. Says her name is Ma dis ough. Is relative of Es.kin-os-pas. Can you verify this state- ment with aid of s-kin-os-pas? Is Klow-ga-kai Apache name for Fort Apache or vicinity? How many were killed and captured in renegade attack?
 (Signed) JOHN P. CLUM.
 This telegram was sent with view cf identifying the prisoner, as we'll as to tes, the truth of her statements. In the afternoon Mir. Cum received the follow ing reply:
 -,+ SAN CARLOS, Jan. 6, 1885. John P. Cum, Tombstone, A. T..
 Two squaws were captured, Nai-dis-ah and Tea-tayzy. The first is related to Es-kim-a-zhah-say and Goo-day-goo- yah. Twenty-one White Mountain h.. dians were killed. Klow.ga-ka means Fort Apache and vicinity. The squaw's story is undoubtedly true.
 (Signed) PIERCE, Captain Acting In. dian Agent.
 This telegraphic correspondence at least fixes the identity of the captured squaw Na-dis-ough or Nai-dis-ah. Of course there is nc correct spelling of Apache names. The sounds are repre- sented as nearly as possible. She told Mir. Clum that her name was Na-dis- ough, and that she was captured by the renegades during fight near Klou-ga.ka which Mir. Clum understood, from fur ther conversation, was the Apache name for Fort Apache. Captain Pierce in his telegram says: "Nai-ds-ah was the name of one of the sauaws captured, and i that Klow-ga-ka means Fort Apache.' The captive had also mentioned as hel relatives the Indians whose names are given by Capt. Pierce. All her state, ments are undoubtedly true. He says her father and two brothers were killed in the attack on the camp and that hel
