High Tea With Dickens.

No writer has so pathetically touched
the great throbbing heart of humanity
as Charles Dickens has done. The Gre
atoms of his matches genius are to his
readers living human beings, whom we
know and love, loathe and condemn,
pity and sympathyse with. In all the
daily walks and actions of life Dicken s
people are around about us and we
recognize them as acquaintance and
friends. The Master and 20 of his
characters will entertain their friends
at high tea, April 29th at Academy
Hall, at s o'clock, p. m. The charac-
tiers are we'll chosen and will appear in
full costume.
Mrs. farley and her wax-works will
be feature of the evening. The first
young ladies and gentlemen Of the city
represent these personalities, while the
elder people give tone and lend a charm
to the assembly OF mind pictures.
Fifty cents admission will insure a
delightful evening, as rich as it is rare,
feast of reason and flow of FUN. Not
often does Dickens condescend to lend
his aid to church building and substan-
tial help. Come one and all and give
him welcome to GAINESVILLE.

SULLIVAN AND UMSCHElD.
A Story Of two Tailors.

Barney Sullivan an Irish tailor, COM
mitted an assault and battery on Con-
stantine Umscheid, a German of the
same craft, in the postoffice wednesday
morning. For this offence Sullivan
was tried before the Recorder and fined
$25. Thursday morning Sullivan had
Umscheid arrested on a charge OF car
rying pistol and Umscheid swore out
peace warrant against Sullivan. Both
cases were tried before Esqr. Caldwell
In the first it was proved that about
months ago Umscheid one night put a
revolver in his pocket and went to a
fire. The prosecution was purely NAL
icious but in proof of the fact that he
had carried pistol, the court was COM
piled to impose fine OF $50. In the
second case it was shown that Sullivan
had several times abused and twice
assaulted Sullivan and was IN the habit
OF terrorizing him. The court put Sui
Ivan under a bond of $50 to keep the
peace for months.

"MY DEAR SENAToR-The applica-
tions in behalf of all sorts of people to
fill the place made vacant by Judge
Baxter's death are pouring in at such a
rate that the matter promises to aug
nlent in the most unseemingly scram-
BILE, To avoid this have determined
to send the name of Judge Baxter
successor to the Senate tomorrow, and
in the interest OF the most important
public service, and in accordance with
a very clear conception of my duty in
the matter, now write to say to You
that you must abandon the scruples
that you entertain and permit me to
nominate you in the vacant place. Your
reluctance to consent to this nomina-
ton, growing out of consideration for
other gentlemen in your State who de-
sire the place. does you great credit
and increases my estimate of your
value. But you have no right to at
tempt to control my action in this way,
and / am quite willing that these aspir-

your nomination is my act and the re-
sub Of a conviction OF what ought to be
done. from which / could not be moved

He was Going to Start a Store.

A negro named Reuben Keesee man
aged to conceal and carry off from
Keesee & Northington's grocery Satur-
day, sundry articles which he found
there. The list OF the goods he APP
propriated embraced an overcoat, a jug
Of molases, calico dress, and numer-
Gus brown paper parcels. He claimed
fifty pound bag OF flour which had
been purchased by another man and set
aside, but Mr.. Neblett, who is sales
man in the grocery, refused to let him
have it. 1t was this circumstance that
caused Reuben to be suspected when
the stolen articles were missed, and
officer Stafford was put on his track. He
was captured just as he was about to
leave town, and the stolen property
recovered. Being examined before a
magistrate he was committed to Jail in
default of bond to await trial in the
criminal court.

T. v. Smith. VS.. Trustee of MONTGOMERY
County.
A. II. HALL & SON,

This case was tried before S. A Cald-
well, Esq. or the 9th Of April, on the
following facts: Smith, a citizen OF
Kentucky, ownes stock in the First
National Bank OF GAINESVILLE to the
amount OF 81 900, and was assessed for
taxes by the State and county. He paid
the taxes SO assessed amounting to $12. :
SO under protest, and brought suit
against the Trustee to recover the taxes
so paid, claiming that the Site and
cointy have no right to collect the sum
from him.
The Constitution, article two, section
%, provides that 81 900 worth of per-
sonal property shall be exempt from
taxation in the hands Of every taxpayer.
The Justice held that as the constitu
ton made no exception he could make
none, and rendered judgment for
Smith. The proof shows that Smith
had no other property in this county
subject to taxation.
Defendent appealed to the Circuit
Court. There are twenty-five suits OF
this kind touching upon some ques-
tions raised here which will be determ-
ined by the result OF this case. There
are also about thirteen similar cases
against the city OF similar nature. All
were tried and decided in favor of the
Taxpayers by Esq. Caldwell the same
day.

Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1886-02-14

Dr. Moore. who came up from Sonora this week, confirms what has already frequently been asserted in the EpITAPH in regard to the unreliability of the Apache scouts. They seem to consider the whole thing as mere picnic and have not the slightest intention of injur- ing "their friends the enemy" After the first sho, was fired by the Mexicans which killed Captain Crawford, band of hostiles-or "bronco" Indians, as they are called in Sonora ra--who were only a few hundred yards distant, shouted out to the scouts that they would come over and help the latter "clean out" the Mexl- cans, if the scouts would only give the word. Had not Lieutenant Maus inter- fered, the edifying spectacle would have been presented to the world, of combat between Mexicans and U. s. force, as. sisted by renegade Apache marderers. This whole business of hiring Chiricahua scouts is bloody force. No argument can change this simple fact,

A special dispach published in yester- days EPITAPH says: "This is the system that is being introduced, and it is thought by army people to be sure means of preventing any very extensive outbreak during the spring, if indeed it does not entirely prevent Geronimo from recruiting from the reservation" This is admitting, and even intimating, that an outbreak is liable to occur during the spring. Not very extensive perhaps a score or two out of 5000 is not very extensive; numerically speaking They might kill dozen, or hundred, but what is that out of 5o,ooo,ooo? Not very extensive. Geronimo is not cap tive, as was reported and there is evidently no idea of crushing this Indian war, before summer. Precautions will, however, be taken to obstruct renegade recruiting service, to certain extent. Of course, fifty or one hundred infantry men at San Carlos, will settle the business. The reservation is only sixty miles wide and one hundred miles long, and fifty or one hundred men, concentrated in the centre and on foot, will effectually pro- tect-the officers at the agency.

The many friends of w. K. Meade in and around Tombstone will be hard to convince that the charges made against him by the Phenix Herald are true, and amongst the many is the TOMBSTONE EPITAPH. Right is right, republican or democrat. The character of respectable citizens is placed up and beyond the reach of politics. "Far above the flicker ing light of parties shines the everlasting sun of truth in whose beams are dis played the duties of men,"

Mexican International Com pllcation

WASHINGTON, Feb. I3.-Foster, ex- minister to Mexico, has received a tele- gram from the Mexican government, to proceed to the city of Mexico Immediately. Foster is highly esteemed by the Diaz party. He accompanied President Diaz, on his tour through the United States, two years ago, in the ca pacity of interpreter. The mysterious summons has given rise to many con- lectures. It is considered probable that the Mexican government desires to en. gage Foster as counsel for Mexico, in reference to the charges preferred by Lieutenant Maus, that the Mexicans wilfully fired on an American force, kill ing Captain Crawford. Should an in vestigation prove this charge to be true, it will be likely to provoke hostility in congress against the pending reciprocity treaty with Mexico and occasion other international trouble. General Crook thinks the Mexicans wantonly attacked Crawford, for the purpose of footing the camp. The situation is becoming very complicated.

The Phenix Heraldi is making desperate efforts to defeatthe confirmation of w.. K. Meade, well and favorably known ts the people of this county. Mir. Meade has resided in Tombstone for upwards of seven years. He has held positions of trust and responsibility since his advent in this section and this is the first time that charge has ever been made against him.. His honesty has never been questioned, even by his political enemies, and as to the charge of incom- potency it is too ridiculous to discuss. MT. Meade is known throughout Arizona as man of sterling qualities, both in telligent and courteous, and has all of the necessary qualities to make first class marshal, which in the opinion of the EPITAPH he is. We sincerly trust that our neighbor on the Salt river is not trying to create feeling against Mir. Meade on political grounds. We are living under democratic administration and the appointments from the president, as matter ofright, must be democratic Our territorial appointments of governor, marshal, judges, etc., have all been made and as far as we have been able to judge, are good officials, and as to the charges against Mir. Meade, we feel confident that no person in this community will give them credence without official con- firmation from headquarters, which we feel satisfied will not occur.
