~, lat 25, lon II 30. just previous to the great
gale which swept the Atlantic coast, ana II Is be-
leved In marine circles that this was the vessel
seen 10 sink by French steamer Panama, now at
Philadelphia. The officers of the steamer report
that at PM Nov 26, lat 3S N, lon ~ 20 w, the
signals of vessel in distress were seen shooting
up from dark hulk which was nearly level with
the water. The steamer got near enough to the
wreck TO see the men Cd the after house waving
lights and signaling to be taken of, but suddenly
disappeared and probably went down. The hulk
appeared like a fun rIgsed ship. The Cheney was
loaded With sugar. valued at 10O. 900, which was
insured in Boston and New York. She registered
1922 tons, was built in 1874. and Was owned by

The Solomonville correspondent of the Clifton Clarion says: "I understand from District Attorney Bolan, Chairman of the Democratic Territorial Central Com mittee, that replies have been received from most of the members of the com mttee indicating Tucson as the place at which the convention should be held ,and the basis of representation to be on the vote given for Delegate to Congress. In accordance with these replies Mir. Bolan will shortly issue circular letter directing the chairmen of the different county committees to hold such county conventions to elect delegates to rep resent them in the territorial convention to be held in Tucson some time next month, the basis of representation to be one delegate for each 100 votes and frac. tion exceeding 90 cast for Marcus A.

A JOURNALISTIC ENCOUNTER.

"How sweet it is to see, brother and brother dwell in peaceful harmonic" or words to that effect. This reminds the reporter that all is not what it should be in local newspaper circles. This morn ing our b, b,other Gen. Birt, of the Ad- vance, published Something or another" that dld not suit our brother Col, John son, of the Gazette. In truth, the latter was highly incensed, and repairing to the Advance office,. demanded retraction of the General. The latter did not give the desired satisfaction, and the Colonel proceeded to "take it out of his hide '" An eye witness states that Mrs. Birt ac- cidentally got the worst of the fight, but that Colonel Johnson put black eye on the General, when its natural color IS a mild blue. Ths Arizonan has been pub lished but short time, but it has ever managed to keep on the most amlcable terms with the members of the news paper profession, realizing that they are bad men, who are anxious that someone may step on the tails of their coat. Things are not altogether right.-Phenix AiiZonan.

A SHOOTING SCRAPE.

RATION, N. M., March I4.--G. w. Cook, deputy sheriff of this county, shot Frank Catlin this morning about 8 o'clock Catlin went with Cook to show him where Mr. Miller was, on whom Cook had summons to serve. When they found Miller, Cook remarked to Miller that he (Miller) had served him (Cook) mean trick. Catln spoke up and said he thought Miller had treated him as gentleman. At this both Cook and Catlin drew their guns. Cook caught Catlin's pistol hand, and the gur. went off, the ball going into the floor. Cook then fired four shots into Catlin's body, two of them after Catlln fell, one entering the back of his head, the other into the center of his back. Catlin lived about an hour, but was unconscious. Cook gave himself up. Court is now in session and the grand jury has been instructed to thoroughly investigate the matter The fight was the result of an old feud Cook succeeded Callin as deputy sheriff at this place, and there has always been strong feeling over the removal of Catlin, as he was one of the most fearless and efficient officers ever stationed here

TO THE POINT.
Hon. C. M. Bruce, President of the Live Stock Sanitary Commission, Indulges in some
 Plain Language.

BABACOMARI RANCH, A. T., March S. 1888. To the Las Vegas Stock Grower:
 , I am sincerely glad that the bitter feel ing now existing in Southern Ar'zona, among men of all classes and interests, against Collector Magoffin and his depu- ties, has finally found expression in the press through the excellent letter of the Hon. Isaac N. Town, which was pub lished in your issue of the 3d instant of the Stock Grower. How young Kahler was brutally murdered at Nogales, in the bloom of manhood and beloved by his neighbors, by one Hamilton, mounted inspector; how that official was defended in the courts and then honored with pro- motion by the government even before his acquittal, and while the warm, youth full blood of his victim had scarcely yet ceased, fguratively speaking, to drip from his hands; how important witnesses for the prosecution have subsequently, been apparently made to suffer by the customs service for being witnesses and stating the truth. say all this truly gees to form one of the saddest episodes in the history of our section. Public sentiment has been detied. Justice has virtually been laughed to scorn in it's valn struggle with the quibbles of the law, and powerful government, by still re- taining in its employment the wretched principal in this tragedy, stands to-day the endorser of crime.
 Some parts of the machinery of the government-some official, is responsible for this debauchery of the rights of society. He may be at Washington or he may be in Fl Paso, but wherever he may be found, the case should be report ed to the president. II it be not Collec- tor Magofin, let him remove the odium which is now resting on his name, and associating it with dishonor, by refuting the charges which have been made by the Hon. Isaac N,. Town. And in the meanwhile l for one am thankful to your popular journal fer thus voic- ing, by the publication of his letter, the common feeling of an outraged community. l am,
 Very respectfully,
 C. M. BRUCE.

What Arizona needs is good healthy foreign population to develop its re. sources. Native born Americans never built up any State in this Union. And they will never build up Arizona. If some of the eastern cranks on restriction of foreign immigration, would let go until the west had a handful of these "unde- sirable foreigners" they would do us a great favor.

It becomes the EPIrAPH's sad duty to chronicle the death of Mir. Prosper Tyler, late engineer at the State of Maine mine, which occurred in this city last Wednesday from an acute attack of pneumonia. Deceased was a highly respected citizen, as well as a worthy soldier of the republic in time of war |. The death was all the more sad on ac- count of leaving two little boys, who lost their mother only last May. The re mains were escorted by Burnside Post, C. A. R., to the Methodist Church where an able burial sermon was delivered by Rev. G. L. Pearson, and from there to the cemetery, where the impressive cere- monies of the Grand Army of the Re public were read, and all that remained of Prosper Tyler were lowered to their last resting place.
