INDIAN NEWS,

The depredations and cold blooded murders committed by the Apache Indians, during the last three weeks are reported as follows:
 On the 9th of August, they attacked a Mexican freight train south of Cum, pas, killing eight men and taking forty.seven horses. On the 9th they raided a ranch at Bodaquachi, three miles from Cumpas, taking their choice of over 100 head of horses. On the 10th they killed three Americans and wounded two more. They also stole stock in the vicinity of Iecou and Cumpas. They then went into the mountains east of Cumpas, and on the nth fought Mexican force all day, making at last good stand of. On the I4th they killed three Mexicans at the Bacahi mine, four leagues west of Cumpas.
 On August a6,h eleven Apaches of Geronimo's band attacked six Amer. jeans near the Santa Rosa district. The fight lasted from II to : p. m. Three Americans were killed: ]. E, O'Brien, John Hatcher and J. Thomp- son; and two Amerlcans were wound ed: R. McMahone and John Off. None of the Indians were killed.
 A dispatch from Wilcox dated Aug. aoth says, Colonel Wade has rounded up all the Chiricahua and Warm Spring Apaches, has the men under guard, and will, unless some accident occurs, carry out General Miles plan of removing them all out of the terri tory, which will be relief, not only to the citizens, but to the troops. Captain Lawton is in close proximity to Geronimo, who has asked for bet ter terms than unconditional surren- der. The chances are that he will not get them.
 General Miles has received notifica- tion that Geronimo desires to meet him at the San Bernardino ranch, and  make terms looking to a surrender of himself and band.
 A dispatch dated Aug. 3Ist to the Albuquerque Journal says: A Mexican who spent the day in Geronimo's camp, was told by him that the terms which were offered to him for surren- der were that his two wives be brought back from Florida, and that himself and nineteen of his companions be given seperate reservations, not on the sea coast. He sad, in other words, if General Miles did not want to agree to these terms he could go to hades.

B. THOMAS, who hlS been so urgently requested by his many friends in Flagstaff and vicinity, to allow his name to go before the Republican County Convention, as a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Yavapai County, has informed his supporters that he is not candidate for any office. We understand that his req son for declining, is on account of private business matters, which will not allow him to devote his time to making personal canvas of the county. His friends regret that he will not make the run. If public ex pression is worth anything,w We believe that MT. Thomas was a strong man for the position and if nominated would have been elected.

ALBUQUERQUE FAIR.

According to the programme which has been issued by the management of the New Mexico Exposition, at Albu- querque, the fair this fall will eclipse anything ot its kind ever before had in that city.
 Secretary Wheelock has been very energetic in his duties and has every thing in fine order, and we are in- formed that it will be a grand success. On account of the excellent accommo- dations provided for stock and the premiums offered, it will cause stock men from all portions of the south, west to bring their best horse; and cat tie. We hope that the people of Flag staff and vicinity, who have as fine blooded horses and cattle as can be found anywhere, will enter the lists and carry off some of the prizes offer ed, and from all we can learn Flag staff will be well represented.

IN Yayapal and Cochlse co,

IN Yavapal and Cochlse counties the local committees will appoint the delegates to the Territorial Demo- cratic Convention. This does not exactly conform with the Democratic idea of a full expression of the will of the people, but as it is not our pie, we will not attempt to cut it.-Phenix Gazette. They have already gone and done it, and your kick is of no avail. The bosses appear to have the big end of the stick, and the dear people can like or lump it, as they choose.

TO THE ELECTORS OF YAVA-
 PAI COUNTY.

GENTLEMEN:--Belelving that can. dor is as commendable in a political candidate as in any other individual, l desire to call your attention to a few facts concerning my candidacy for the Probate Judgeship of your county, subject to the action of the Republican County Convention. A resident of Arizona for nearly ten }ears-not because 1 was first forced to come here or lacked the means of leaving-I have during that period fully realized the fact that men are elected to public offices Tn Arizona, not so much on account of their possessing pre-eminent qualifications, as liberal endowment of that valuable article commonly called "gall," and having by long connection with the Terri torial press gathered more of that commodity than anything else, have concluded to shy my "castor into the political arena" to realize something on it. 1 do so entirely on my own responsibility. No "anxious public, " "the solicitation of many friends" nor "the wishes of many prominent citi. zens," have made the slightest effort to "bluf" me into doing It. To be frank, it is not case where the office is wearing itself out hunting the man; not much. Here it Is the man wear ing himself out hunting the ofiice, and rustling like sheol to get it, for the sim pie reason that it is a soft berth with a salary of 2,ooo per annum attached While in the way of special qualified tions, 1 have no advantage over seventy-five per cent. of my fellow citizens in the county, yet l believe am fully competent to discharge all the duties incident to the office in an efficient manner if elected. If you coincide in this opinion, support me, if you see fit. If you do not, you will by no means jeopardize the safety of the universe by defeating me.
 Yours fraternally.

IN MEMORIAM.

A simple announcement Of the death
Of Mr.. Peter Huffman appeared in the
DEMOCRAT week or so ago. Will you
allow more extended notice? for the
subject was certainly worthy OF il,
both on account Of his many relatives
and friends, his long residence here In
Pope county, his advanced age, having
reached nearly four score years, and
the worth and integrity Of his charac-
ter.
Mr.. Huffman was born on the 10th of
Mar CHI 1908, in Lincoln county, N. c..
In 1851 he moved to Pope county, Ar
kansas, and settled about lhree miles
east of Russellville, where he remained
until short whi'o before his death.
The last few months Of his life he lived
with Mr.. Twiggs Brown, where he was
visited by his children, and where ev-
erything that loving care could suggest
was done for his comfort. Slowly but
surely his strength failed. "The al.
mond tree had long flourished, the
grasshopper was burden, the. strong
men bowed themselves" and he was at
last compelled to lay him down, not
sick, but the messenger had come. On
Saturday, February 27th, he was taken
with something like paralysis, and the
following day the 2Sth OF February 1886,
without struggle, or a pang, he passed
away "I.ike the morning star, which
goes not down behind the dai kened
west; nor Is obscured among the tenn
pests OF the sky, but melts away into
the light of heaven"
Mr.. Huffman was member of the
Lutheran church In North Carolina,
and there being no church OF that faith
In this country, and strong in his CON-
victions, he had united with none here,
but leading quiet and peaccable life,
honorable dealings with his fellow
man, and the vilest tramp never asked
for bread, and asked him in vain.
On March LIST he was carried by low
ing hands 10 his last resting place in
Pisgah church yard, and placed by the
side ofhis wife who had preceded him
about ten years; and togsther they
await the bright resurrection morn,
and glad reunion in home In 'that
city which hath foundations, whose
builder and maker Is God"
