Romantic E1opement.

Miss Adelaide Archer is justly con sidcred the belle of San Bernardino. She is bright and vivacious and as pretty as picture Miss Adelaide, however, is only 16, and when she met her beau ideal of what a man should be in Mir Gerald Devine, there were serious objections to her becoming Mrs. Gerald Archer, more especially as her parents objected to the union. Gerald proposed an elopement and the fair Adelaide acquiesced, but the young lovers were doomed to disappointment, as they found out upon application for a license that Miss Adelaide was too young to wed. In their despair they took into their counsel mutual friend, who suggested a capital scheme to help the lovers out of the dilemma. The scheme is best told by what hap pened on Monday Miss Archer and MT. Devine took the fast train for this city, and upon arriving here, boarded the first train for San Pedro, and few hours later the young couple whose hearts beat as one were made man and wife by the captain of the steamer before the vessel reached Santa Catali- na Islands, Los Angeles Tribune.

Iii e the Araches Ont.

It does not seem to do any good for the newspapers to howl them selves hoarse over the failure of the government to take the accursed Apa che Indians out of the Territory from among the hardy pioneers who are trying to lay the foundations for what will be one of the best states in the Union, but one derives some consola tion from turning himself loose, hence the continual appscl to the govern ment to remove the Apaches to In dian Territory.
 People can't do much towards laying corner stones for great states when ex- pericnce has taught them the habit of feeling the tops of their heads every two minutes to assure themselves that they have not lost their scalp lock We don't need the Indians here; they are not helping us at all, but are q hindrance instead.
 It has got so HOW that they can't in dulge in little game of three-up or whisky poker, raise an armful of roast ing ears for the enlivening corn dance, or manufacture little tizwin on which there Is no tax, without falling out among themselves, shooting each oth- CT, diving into the agency herd, kill ing all the fattest cattle held apart for the agent and the army officers, or go- ing on the warpath and sllinning out for Sonora, there to pout, kill Mexi- cans and Yaquis, steal mescal and horses, eat up the herds they stole from Arizona ranclers and wear out the clothes they took from the miners and cattlemen whom they killed en route
 These sensitive pets of the govern ment could be taken to the Indian Territory and surrounded by cordon of troops at little or no more expense than it costs to keep them here with barely enough troops around them to inform the nearest ranchers and miners that hell has broke loose every time the red rascals get drunk or in a pouting mood. Fire the rascals out. -Nogales Sunday Herald.
 The most dangerous horses are gen. erally those which are only half broken. The word broken is here intended to convey the idea of well trained. Horses that are not considered safe are seldom trusted Half-trained horses are often given an opportunity to do lots of mis- chief. In order to train horses they are often hitched to the buggy or carriage and the family taken into the vehicle for a ride This is the worst kind of folly, and any one who meets with accidents when doing such work does not deserve any sympathy from others. The hurry to get some good from the use of a young horse often prompts men to use them when they know that there is danger. Such foolishness is frequently dearly paid for. A thorough breaking or training should be given every horse that is ex- pected to be used at work in which any trouble whatever might occur. The training should be done in such way that those who do it will have complete c Il rol of the animal, and vehicles anC attachments should be used that can not be broken or disarranged should any misconduct be indulged in.-Hoo. & Horn.

Pleasant Valley Pastime.

Reports from Pleasant valley of the lynching by outlaws of James Stott, James Scott and Jeff Wilson, near Stott's ranch, on the afternoon of the 11th, received here up to the 18th, are as follows: The parties were arrested on alleged fictitious charges and were in charge of Jas. D. Houck, and five others They were en route to Pleas ant valley and when near the Canyon Creek trail were met by masked men who ordered Houck and his men to move on. The prisoners were found next morning hanging near the Verde road. Houek arrived in Holbrook on Monday, August 3rd, and the latest intelligence received from the scene was on Tuesday morning, when the bodies were reported as still hanging From the best information to-day the county authorities are taking no ac- tion ill the matter.
 The most diligent inquiry among parties acquainted in the Tonto Basin country fails to elicit any information as to the identity of James Scott, the only one of that name known being the sheep man, and ex-member of the Legislature, who was not likely to have been found in the company of two such notorious characters as StOtt and Wilson are alleged to be. The general impression is that the lynch ing party were not composed of out laws either, as the man Stott, although arrested several times. had always man. aged to secure an acquittal to the dis gust and annoyance of the better class of citizens, who were cognizant or his place being rendezvous for horse thieves and bad characters, and who, as stated before had ordered him to leave the country.-Journal Miner.

The Great eastern group of mines has now become one of the most promising properties in the Vekol range of mountains. It lies in one of the largest basins of the range and joined to the Vekol as it is it has be- come as prolific in substantial produc- tion as the former. On the 1st of September the Vekol mill starts on Great Eastern ore. This is the third large run this year.
