MURDERED FOR HONEY.
| Mining Superintendent and two guards kil led by Maricopa Bandits
 and SI2,OOO stolen.

Maricopa county has again been made the scene of oae of those terrible crimes which blacken the fair fame of Arizona.
 On saturday Last the usual monthly cleanup was made at the Vulture mill, the result being about $l2,OO0 in bullion. On Monday morning Cyrus Gribble Superintendent of the mine and mill started with the bullion for Phunix, attended by two guards. Shortly before noon when the party had reached point near Niger Wells, ei shteen miles from the mine and forty from Phoenix, they were suddenly y attacked and all three ruth lessly murdered, the murderers escap- ing with the balIion.
 The Journal Miner says: In ad- dition to the bullion taken, the mur- derers also took roan horse, belonging to Mir. Gribble. The murder was com mitted sometime before noon. On receipt of the news in Phpnix, a posse of officers under Deputy Sheriff Mur- phy, was organized and started out at ? o'clock this morning in pursuit of the robbers, who are supposed to be a band of Mexicans who have infested that section of country for years, and who are supposed to have killed Barney Martin and family two years ago.
 Cyrus GIibble, the unfortunate vic tim of this sad tragedy, took charge of the Vulture mine, as superintendent, when it was purchased by Senator Ia bor, of Colorado. He is spoken of as an excellent man in private life, while as mining man he had a varied ex- perience, having spent several years in the mines of Australia and New Zea- land, five years in South Africa, four years in the celebrated gold mines of India, and travelled through Abyssinia with an exploring expedition, besides several years experience in the United States. Since taking charge of the Vulture mine he has reduced the run ming expenses of that property and in, creased the bullion output, making a margin between expenses and income of from SlO,000 to $l5,OO0 per month.
 Governor Zulick has offered re. ward of $500. for the capture of the murderers.

F0ILED TRAIN ROBBERS.
Another Scheme to Sack an Atlantic & Pacific Train Frustrated by
 Timely Precautions.

Notwithstanding the stringent law of New Mexico, which punishes with death the wrecking or robbing of a passenger train, there are still desper- ate characters in that territory who are willing to risk their lives for the chance ot i!lgotten gains from the treasure box or passengers of an ex- press train.
 Only four months ago the east bound passenger train was robbed while standing at the Navajo Springs coaling station and few days later another robbery was prevented by carrying strong guard on the train, officials of the road having received information of an intended attack.
 Last Friday the conductor of the east bound passenger train received a mysterious missive, detailing the plan of an intended attack upon his train, which was to be thrown from the track at Luna station and the pass engers and express car sacked in the excitement and confusion of the wreck.
 Superintendent Gadd;s was imme- diately communicated with and by his orders a guard of six men bearded the train at Gallup. Approaching the threatened point of attack with great caution, abundant evidence was found of the desperate designs of the would be train wreckers, who had evidently placed the Instructions, in the shape of ties and old rails on the track, but getting wind of the warm reception which had been prepared for them, had hurrlediv thrown them off and made their escape to the hills.
 Until a few of these deSperadoeS are caught and hanged, passenger trains wlIl continue 70 be subject to wreck and robbery. y.-Holbrook Standard.

received orders to reinstate all suspended employees and place the station on its old business basis
 During the early hours of the day tEe wires were kept hot with orders for starting out trains from the various division stations, naming trains with crews, reinstating sus pended carpenters, section men and other employees and sending water trains to desert stations where four days of suspended trains had already created water famine.
 At A. NJ. the CHAMPION tele. graphed to Albuquerque for the latest information and received the follow ing response:
 Special despatch to the CHAMPION. ALBUQUERQUE, Mch., 20, 9:3o A. NJ
 The strike is ended. Trains on all western roads resumed running during the night and during the day, today all regular trains will be pvt on the various roads.
 Mr. Hamill Chief of the Winslov' division grievance committee, who has been here SInce the inauguration Of the strike, awaiting developments, received a telegram from Chief Ar thur at midnight last night stating that a settlement with the C.. B. x Q had been arrived at, under which en- gineers would return to work, the company conceding restoration of rates.
 This releases all brotherhood en- gineers and trains on the Atlantic & Pacific roa1 will be started on SChe dule time to day. CoLGRovE.
 Business has been resumed upon all roads, but there seems to be but little faith placed in the perma nency of the truce thus patched up. The Globe Democrat says:
 "rhere is a general impression among railroad people that the agree . ment of the Burlington management to restore rates will not amount to anything and that it will only be a question of week or two when cut . ting will go on again as lively as ever. They have no confidence in the O."

 END OF THE STRIKE.
END OF THE STRIKE.
A Thrilling Scene.

thflhns scene,
 Just after dusk on Tuesday evening a scene was enacted on Railroad Ave nue, which, for a moment, thrilled the spectators with horror. The sidewalk between Gold and San Francisco Ave- nue, always crowded thorOughfare, was, at the time, thronged with an un- usually large number of people, who were attracted to the street by the ex- ceptionaliy fine evening.
 Suddenly loud voice rang out upon the clear night air, put the rope around his neck" Hang him" and the crowd rushed in the direction of the Palace Exchange, from whence the eXclamatiOns seemed to emanate.
 In moment, four or five mon emerged from the saloon dragging a colored man by d rope which was noosed about his neck. The men ran eXcitelly in the direction of tele- graph pole, one of them saying "Thora's a good pole, throw it over the cross arm." The scene was most dramatic and the surging crowd stopped with bated breath and palid cheeks, as they realized that lynching tragedy was about to be enacted before their very eyes, but moment later the thrill of horror changed to mirth, when they recognized in the dusky victim, ''Swansy" the popular porter at the Tautabogus saloon and in the execu tioners, five of the most inveterate practical jokers in town. Having paralyzed the crowd, their little joke was success, and marriment sac ceeded the momentary alarm.
 As the rope was taken from his neck Swansy said, "Dats a narrow escape bossl I was gettin' into a scrap down das but I nobber did win scrap"
