"A traveller on a Georgia railroad
wanted to get off at a station where the
train did not stop. 1t was after dark,
and so when the conductor would not
agree to stop for him, the passenger
went to the front platform OF the rear
car, drew the coupling-pin, set the
brakes, and when the car stopped
Jumped off.

A Navajo Murderer.

The Albuquerque Citizen of the 9th prints the following special from Gal lup: To-day T. c. Vandevere, chief of Navajo Indian police, brought into Gullup Niche, the murderer of Benja- min Swift. one of the party of pros pectors, who have been hunting the lost Adams mine. Niche was cap tured by the Indian police, and con- fessed the crime. His story is, that Swift, in company with two Navajo boys, had gone into camp one even- ing, when he and another Navajo boy came up to their camp and asked for something to eat Swift gave him some supper, and went out to picket his horses, when Niche cut . club, and laid it under the edge of his blanket. On Swift's return he was standing leaning over the fire, when the Indian dealt him powerful blow. Swift attempted to draw his revolver, when the second blow was dealt, and Swift staggered and fell to the ground The Indian and boys stayed around the fire some time, Swift in the mean time groaning in great agony. Niche finally shot him through the body, and afterwards made the boys help to hide the body in a deserted hogan, covering it with leaves and dirt. Two days afterwards he returned and shot both Swift's horses. Niche was taken to-day to Fort Wingate, where he will be held in close custoday until the next term of court.

w estern Addition.

Stock-growing in Arizona has a larger margin of profit than in any of the grazing regions of the northwest or on the plains east of the Rockies. No shelter is necessary for the protec- tion of cattle in Arizona during the winter season, and 1t is not necessary to put up feed for their sustenance. Even in the mountains our ranges are comparatively free from snow, and brouse affords all the feed necessary during the short periods when the ground is covered by it. The grass is green and succulent during the spring time, and when the summer rains come 1t starts up in such profusion that even on the heavily stocked rang es it is not consumed. Nevertheless it is not lost. The sun cures 1t and it becomes as nutritious as hay, and affords good feed into the middle of winter Then the Arizona stocknan has the best of markets for his beef. In winter, when on the northern rang es fat beef cannot be secured his cat tie are feeding on the alfalfa pas lures of our valleys, basking in sun shine and as fat as swine. The buy CT comes, makes his choice and pays the top-notch prices, at the time when the northern stockman is exerting every effort to save his herd, and cal | culating upon loss of from twenty five to sixty per cent. through cold weather and starvation. No infectious diseases have therefore got foot-hold on our ranges, we have no winter loss, and the increase is as rapid as any place in the world. Stockraising is not tie only industry in which Arizo- ma can assert superiority, and as the breeding place for blooded stock south
 ern Arizona is bound to become ia
 nous in the course of oftime.-Arizonan

SILVER KING NOTES.

The election continues to furnish abundant means Of conversation. The knews concerning results has been very kslow in coming and those of our eiti- szens who backed 5heir political opin- ions with their money have been some kwhat tardy in acknowledging their de feat though in some instances where bthe wager was concerning maJorities in certain of the states, the true result lswill not be known for some time yet. Those bets are still standing but all other bets have been generally settled.
 The wager between Charles Smith and Tom Doyle will not be carried out. MT. Smith is desirous of fulfilling his part but MT. Doyle will not accept it., preferring to manifest his qualification of the republican success in some other manner This being the case Silver King will be one of the towns where the great victory will not be celebrated by any except individuals.
 It was currently reported here that Mir. w. c. Truman would probably contest the election of MT Fryer as Sheriff Nothing has been mentioned concerning contest during the past few days so that probably better coun- sel has prevailed and MT. Truman will submit to his defeat.
 Early Thursday morning. a small dwelling house opposite the Silver King Hotel was discovered to be in flames. After quite severe efforts the fire was subdued and an investigation showed that the interior was badly damaged, the lining and paper being destroyed and the furniture badly damaged The house was the proper ty of Harry Jones and the furniture belonged to Chas Bennett. The oc- cnpants were not in the house at the time but had lett lamp burning and it is supposed that the fire resulted from the explosion of this lamp. The total damage will not exceed $1OO Il is fortunate that the fire was discover ed in its incipiency for if it had gained any headway disastrous confagra ton would have resulted.
 Sunday night, last, Richard Arm strong, one of the bosses in the mine was quite severaly injured by falling rock. Examination revealed no brok en bones though his ankle and les were quite severely bruised. He i rapidly recovering under the care o Dr, Kinnaird.

 William Stewart, for some time pas
 employed in the mine, has left fo Florence for short visit, after whici . he will take up his residence at tn Reymert Camp.
 Mir. John Knight, one. of our mer chants, has returned from a short triI
 to Tucson. While there he made ar , engagements for sending his childrel to school in the east. He arrived il Tucson in time to witness the repub lican jolliication of last Monday ev ening and states that it was an "im

4 Herd Law.

Few, perhaps, are aware of the fact that this Territory has herd law, but such is the case nevertheless. Let one get copy of the laws passed at last session, turn to page 599, para graph 3209, and read as follows: "It being impracticable to properly inclose the fields in this Territory, all animals must be kept under a shepherd, so that no injury may result to the fields; and if any damage should re- suit, it shall be paid by the owners of the animals causing the same, to be assessed by the justice of the peace in the precinct in a summary manner, and paid to the person or persons whose fields may have been damaged" :" Turning over to page 561, paragraph 3226, he will find that "all laws con f1icting with the provisions of this chapter are hereby repealed" Then he can exercise his own judgment as to whether there is not a herd law in every county of Arizona.-Nogales Herald.

A Distinguished Hunting Party.

It Is understood from the best of sources, says the New York corre- spondent of the Two Republics, that a grand hunting party, to be led by Buffalo Bill, will leave for Mexico within few days. The party will consist of few distinguished Amer jeans and number of Europen scions of nobility and wealth. It will take in the northern portions of Chihuahua and Sonora, and penetrate the fast nesses of the Sierra Madre that have so long been closed to the investiga- ton of the white man by the hostile Apaches who are now completely re- moved. They will travel in special cars, which will be left in Fl Paso dur ing their lengthy stay in Mexico which may be prolonged for months. Orders have already been sent to Fl Paso to make preparation for the party, which will include within it's number some well known, ,personages. It is yiolat- ing no confidence to say that Lord Charles Beresford and in all probabili- ty Grand Duke Michael, of Russia, will come along. Fl Paso will be the sup ply point and the point d'appui, of the hunt. They will go first to the Corra- litos country, where the MoTmons are starting their settlements on large scale and to the adjoining Casas\Gran- des district, where the most interest ing and majestic remains of Aztec antiquity can be found, antiquities that have never yet been described by American scientists and historians They will go from there to Senator Hearst's great ranch which lies in the midst of an exceedingly. romantic country, full of antiquities and game Most of that country has never before been trodden by the foot of the white man."

Which Was 1tg Bacon or Shakespeare.

The authorship of the dramatic pro ductions tributed to the last of the above named is agitating circles to the very centre, but effects the practi- cal masses for less than the momen- tous question, how to regain or pre- serve health, that essential of bodily and mental activity, business and the pursuit of happiness" We can throw far more light on this latter subject than the most profound Skakespearian on the question first propounded.

---------------- A Contest Over Carlisle.

A story is in circulation in Coving- ton, Kentucky, that Speaker Carlisle is to be deprived of his certificate of election. The ground for this action is alleged to be the illegality of ballots cast for him in Campbell and Kenton counties. It is assumed that if these are thrown out his majority in the district will be overcome. The Ken lucky law, it is said, requires that ballot shall be on plain white paper, with no distinguishing features, but the Carlisle ballots were printed on large sheets of perforated paper SC that when they were torn apart the perforations appeared on the edges and made them easily distinguishable from other tickets. Color is given tc the story by the fact that the Can wasting Board in Campbell county is Republican.
