 Col Chas. D. Poston, well known in Arizona as one of its early pioneers, petitions the government for a million dollars, which he claims to have lost or sunk in civilizing Arizona. He also declares that the party sent to govern Arizona was sent here to pre- vent him being sent into penal servi- tude. This last must refer to our chief executive of Naccosari fame, and there may be some truth in the statement. The Star has more than once referred to the governors fraudu- lent transactions through which U. S. Consul Willard at Guaymas was compelled to pay several thousand dollars for which he never received one cent of benefit, and 1t has been intimated more than once that if c. Meyer Zulick ever crossed the line into Sonora he would be arrested and pressed into the Mexican army for violation of the law of Mexico and his fraudulent transactions at Naco- sari. It must be some of these dark tricks of the governor to which Col. Poston refers.--Tucson Star.
