The Tucson Citizen says the pas senger train going east yesterday was several hours behind its sched- ule time, and it was quite dark when Wilcox station was left. The train went flashing along towards Bowie at its usual speed, when the engineer caught ght of man on the track waving. his coat at the ap- preaching train, and taking it for a signal the train stopped. It proved to be a tramp who was journeying westward, and he stopped the train to warn the engineer of a danger ous washout just ahead, into which the train would probably have pitched headlong but for his thoughtfulness. The train backed down to the nearest section house, and implements were brought and repairs made so the train could pass in safety over the break, and it went on it's journey in one di- rection while the tramp plodded on his weary way in another.

A Little Rock, Arkansas, special says that last Saturday two partit s of cowboys who were driving cat tie out of the Chickasaw nation un- der the proclamation recently is- sued by the Chickasaw authorities, and had been quarreling some til @ halted at a spring near Mud Creek, and as Ben Taylor was leaning down to drink he was shot in the neck by Franklin Scales who start ed to run away, when he was shot by one Adams. Firing then became general and the fight ended in one gang of the cowboys driving the others from the field. Taylor and Scales are said to be mortally wounded.

From the first Stanton was suspect ed of being implicated in the mur- der, or having dire cted 1t, but we have learned that the evidence against him is simply of a circum- stantial nature. This makes three persons who are now i'll our jail in connection with the fendish crime mentioned. and officers are search ing for several more, known to be closely connected with the murder. Undoubtedly gang of Mexicans committed the crime, and it IS to be hoped that the entire matter will be probed until the truth is reached.

Captain Jack Crawford, formerly chief of scouts in the Sioux and Apache campaigns, was bitten on the back of the right hand by a rattlesnake while en route from his mines in South Oscura Mountains to his home at Fort Craig. He had just killed one monster snake with his whipstock, and while returning to his wagon, few yards distant, struck another with his foot, when it sprang up and fastened its fangs in his hand. He seized the reptile with his left hand and tore it loose and stamped it to death, and at once sucked the wound, extracting the poison, which undoubtedly saved his life. He then drove to the post, a distance of thirty miles, suffering the most intense pain. His hand and arm are frightfully swollen and he is a very sick man. Record.

A Washington dispatch of Aug. 24th says that Governor Zulick, of A 'izona, in an interview with Sec retary Lamar, called his attention to subject which effects lal gely the interests of the territorp, name ly, the survey of the lands along the completed portions of the At lantic < Pacific railroad, so that they can be taxed. Only about one-third of the land has been sur veyed, and under the law passed by the last Congress, the surveyed lands can be taxed without being patented. The Secretary referred the Governor to the general land office, where he was told that the surveys would be advanced as rap idly as possible, although, owing to the reduced appropriations, pro- bably only a portion of the land could be surveyed. The new law authorizing the taxation of sur veyed lands before patents are is- sued affects large tracts of land in nearly all the states and terri o,ies of the west, and as soon as the de- partment issues the necessary cir culars of instructions, the tax will be imposed.

On Monday evening last as the Wickenberg stage was vending its way north toward the Vulture from this place it was stopped by man, in the road above Seymour. The driver, Mir. Smith, Mir. E. O. Grant of Wickenburg, and another gen, tleman were all armed and instant ly drew their revoivers and covered him in the half moonlight that pro |. vailed, while MT. Smith asked him what he wanted. Jnst then the fellow discovered the situation and dropped his hand in which he held a presented revolver, and said he wanted to get on the stage. He however, made no move to get on and seemed to remain in the road as if awaiting the cooperation ot some one else. While the men in the stage kept him covered with the1r guns the driver drove past and left him standing in the road. His confederates probably did not come to time.-Phenix Herald.

Now, beef steer at the age of four years old won't weigh 1 200 pounds is no steer at all. Blood will tell every time, The ordinary scrub steer, the progeny of the scrub bull, ot course was not counted upon in the light of weight it was point Of numbers in olden times, not weight. Times have changed stockmen begin to learn that it is blood that tells, not numbers.
