jim" Loco is a thoroughbred
Apache, and is charged with horse
stealing. Red" Holcomb lost a
valuable horse, and it was found, or
seen, in Jim's possession. He came
by it, as the Apaches usually do of
all they possess Except that fur
nished by the government to-wit :
Stole it. When applied for he was
promptly delivered by the officials
at Fort Apache to our Sheriff. We
further learn, that he has spent
several months in the guard house
at the Fort, being suspected of muir

enjoyment Of tiswin by band of
Apaches. The United States Gov

has supported Jim-the balance of
his career will probably be spent as

The storm which commenced

The storm which commenced
Sunday night about 10 o'clock, was
almost unprecedented in severity
and duration in this section. Il
continued with but little cessation
until sunset Monday evening, when
the clouds rolled by and the stars,
in a clear sky twinkled with appa-
rent joyful glee, upon a vast ex-
panse of unbroken snow. 1t is es-
timated that about fifteen inches of
snow fell in ST. Johns, and a greater
depth at Springerville and other
parts of the county. Most delight
ful weather has succeeded the storm
and at this writing the air is balmy
as the breath of spring, as genial as
May. Untold blessings, to man
and beast, will be the sequence to
the equinoXtial storm in Arizona in
this year of grace, which dawned
so auspic1ously and gives promise
Of glorious continuation.

st. Johns outranks it's neighbor-

forked tongued makers of mischief.
But our little community is also
greatly blessed by the doors Of
good. Recently there has been
considerable serious sickness in
our midst, and this adversely has
brought out in strong colors, the
sweet charity and genuine christian
goodness Of some Of our ladies.
We have learned of some delicate
attentions to the helpless sick
some modest ministering to the
stricken ones, that make our heart
glad-make us think life worth
living-enable US to see the bright
hued flowers along life's pathway
more wildly than ever before. With
much emotion we say, God bless
the good, benevolent and christian
women of st, Johns.

"a COW is the saint Of the barnyard.
She could be fat if she would only
be selfish. But she economies
beauty that she may be profuse in
milk" That's all right, observes
an exchange, but Mr. Beecher never
had COW lifti its hind foot and give

Following is the conclusion of
the argument Of Bob Ingersoll in
the Bell telephone case: Il do not
believe any man can patent the
idea of sending speech by electric
ity. He can patent devices by which
that can be done, but he cannot get
a patent on the lightning. A man
can patent a water wheel, but he
cannot patent the water, or say to
the water you cannot turn any 9TH
er wheel but mine. A man can pa
tent a windmill, but not the wind,
and any man who can make bet
ter mill may use the same wind,
because We do not get our entire
stock Of wind from the Patent Of
flee or from the attorneys Oh the
other side. Wind is the free gift of
all politicians, and, looking at the
lawyers Of the Bell people, without
wind where would your case be?"
