The many friends and acqaaint- ances of Eugene Edmunds, familiarly known as old Stockton, were shocked yesterday morning, when they learned that he had been removed by death during the night.
 Mir. Edmunds had been suffering from severe cold for about a week previous Co his death, but it was not serious enough to keep him in. his room, as he was around attending to his business all the time during the week, and when he left for the ranch on Friday evening, appeared to be in good spirits. But after arriving at his ranch, which is about two hour'e ride from Tombstone, he complained of feeling unwell and retired to bed. The next day he was little better, but when evening came on, he was much worse, but did not think anything ser ious was the matter until few min utes before his death, which occurred at , o'clock Sunday morning. His remains were then brought into town, where his family reside and prepared for burial. ....ss.
 MT, Edmnhds was about 54 years of age and had resided in this Territory for over twenty years. The deceased leaves q wife and seven children to mourn his loss.

From MT. Ben Parker, post trader at Guadalupe Canyon, THE TOME STONE learns that the report of Geron- imo's surrender, as told by the soldier who arrived here on Saturday even ing is not correct. MT. Parker left Guadalupe Canyon on Saturday after noon at four o'clock, just about the time the soldier was relating his story to a TOMBSTONE reporter. MT. Parker further states that Geronimo and Natchez, the latter the son of old Cochise and the hereditary war chief of the Chiricahua's, with band of twenty-four hostiles are in the camp. a few miles south of the line awaiting the arrival of General Crook, to whom they have professed a willingness to make an unconditional surrender The surrender of Geronimo, Natchez and Tricks will not, however, close the Apache war, as Mangus and some thirty bucks are still on the war path in Chihuahua.

The News is informed by gentle man up from Sonora who is in d posi- ton to know, that the movement of the Mexican troops against the Yaquis, has commenced in earnest. General Martinez started from Alamos last Monday with q detachment of Sinaloa troops, who will march on Torin--the stronghold of the Yaquis- from the south, and General Otero has left Guaymas with troops that were there and will go to the Yaqui river and make his attak from the west, and General Carrillo will leave Ortiz Sta ton with the detachments of cavalry that were stationed there and attack them from the north. So, 1t seems the Yaquis are to be attacked on all sides simultaneously, except the east, and on this side the country is bvund- ed by the Gulf of Cortez.-Nogales News,

 The secretary having been unavoid- ably detained from attending, Harry Brook was appointed secretary pro tenn.
 Judge Peel was then introduced. He stated that owing to sickness he had been unable to meet with the League before, but that he was heart and soul in the movement. He be- lIeved in the boycott, because that was peaceful and effectual way of making John go. He was opposed to any violence, but believed that all hands would stand together and re- fused to patronize any person who employed or patronized. Chinese, that it would be but 6 short time before Tombstone would be free from the Mongolian curse. The judge then resumed his seat am d great applause.
 MT. Gillson was then introduced. He went on to illustrate how towns in California got rid of the Chinese inhabitants simply by rcsorting to the boycott. He stated that in Carson, Nevada, q dirty shirt for about. Il month, was an honorable passport in to good, society and any parlorS in that city. Refuse to employ China men, and vigorously boycott those who do, and the Chinese will soon leave you-and probably with dirty ehirtS-huJ just as scon as they are gone capital, which, Is seeking invest mcnt, will soon apprar in your midst with Il steam laundry and employ your idle men and women. The great States of the East will send you white domcstics and laborers from tn ir overcrow.led stock.

Get rid of the Ehinamen and their places will soon Dc filled with white people.
 Mr. Gillson was frequently ap- plauded during his remark.
 The meeting then adjourned until next Saturday evening.

The American Consul at Copen+ hagen furnishes some very interesting and suggestive facts concerning agri. culture in Denmark. It is shown, for instance, that the farmers of that country are much better off thau those of Great Britain ahd France, because they began some years ago to turn their attention to the dairy and live stock business instead of devoting their efforts entirely to the growing of grain. This is les on which Amer, ican agriculturists need tU learn above all others. The time has come when, they can no longer rely upur profta- ble prices for wheat, corn and cottoni and the sooner they beginto change their operations accordingly, the bet ter it will be for them in every re- spect.-Globe Democrat,

 An old gambler gives to the Boston Herald very interesting account oi big game of faro. He says:
 Speaking of high playing, may as well tell you 9 story, the truth of which is well-known among sports men about a game between John MOrrissey and Ben Wood, the famous gambler, Fernando Woods brother.
 In 1867 was running game at No. ], West Twenty-fourth street, New York City, where the Hoffman House now stands. was going home about four o'clock one morning, when, seeing a light in the window of Morrissey's gambling house at No 5, l thought 1 Would go up for few minutes aRd see what was going on. l found only about half dozen men there, the rest looking on while Wood and Morrissey were playing faro. About the time I came in the game stopped and Wood was $52,0e0 win ner. The company took few drinks and after some talk, Morrissey said to Wood: You can double that $62, ,0G0 or lose it.
 All right said Wood. 'Get behind the table and give me sixty-two chipsI representing $1,O0e each, and I'll go you" Sc Morrissey began to deal and Wood to play against the bank. At first Woods luck seemed to have turned against him, for in ten min tttes he lost twenty-nine of his chips, so that he only had thirty-three of his chips left, representing $33,000 At this point he made up his mind to risk the whole of this sum upon single turn. There were only three cards left in the box-the tray, the eight, and the six spot. Wood placed his $33,000 on the eightj it,was the largest bet ever made in this country over gambling table. Morrissey drew the fatal cards slowly out of the bUx. If he won he would have his $62, 600 back again and would owe Wood nothing All held their breath. The turn came, tray-eight, and Wood Scooped in $33, 1000 at one hand. The result of this turn gave Wood $66,000. The luck changed from uIlt point and Morrissey was soon cleaned out. D.. .-
 When the game was over he handed Wood check for $SO,0OO and q note at Unity days for the remaining SPA 900 he owed him us the result of that nights play. The soft of game | just described is. called ''snap" on "freeze-out." It is uAu"lly played by two men, each of whom puts up an equal amount of money When either is cleaned the "ynap" is "broken" and the game is at an end.'
