A. CARD.

Nearly two years Of service as
Justice of the Peace in Flagstaff,
have convinced me that the glory
of the position is by far the most
important item of revenue, and
forced upon me the conviction
that the "ons.term.'e policy would
be especially adopted to my case.
But as several gentlemen of both
parties have asked me to be a can
lidate for re election, l hereby
,nfcrm my friends and the public
generally that l shall be a candir
late, and ask for the support of
he generous people of Flagstaff.
My past official record is an indi-
alton of what my policy will be
{ re- elected. GEO. H. TINKER.

On Tuesday morning the mining
camp of Jerome, was the scene of
another shooting scrape. Walter
Murphy, a, brother of N. o. and
f. M. Murphy, had a quarrel with
William Harper, commonly, known
as "Windy Bill" in which he got
tho. worst of il The trouble was
thought of no more at the time, but
in the night about 1890 o'clock
Harper went up to Murphy and
placed his gun to his (Murphy's)
stomach and fired, the ball passed
through him. After he was shot
Murphy walked into saloon hold
ing his hands to his stomach. and
on examination the wound was
found to be fatal. Harper disap-
peared after the shooting but has
since been captured.
Murphy died the next evening
about 6 o'clock and was buried the
next day at Prescott.

Cattle ShiDment

On Tuesday about three hundred
head of cattle arrived from the
range of T. j. Eaman and were
shipped to Los Angeles, the pur-
cbasers being Mier & CO., of that
city.
The cattle were in excellent con.
dition and no doubt brought good
prices. We understand that cattle
owners in this vicinity will make
extensive shipments of live stock
about the first Of next month.

abiding men. to be met with anywhere. He
is a mill-wright by occupation. and has lived
IN Milwaukee fOrty-three years, going there
with his father when he was boy of four
teen. He has caught frogs where the
Franklin Hotel now stands, fished for bull
heads where the Wisconsin street bridge
crosses the Milwaukee river, and once saw
deer shot on what is now Prospect avenue.
He is man Of jolly disposition, free from
every thing like rancor and vindictiveness,
and naturally, having lived so long among
his people, is very popular citizen. He is
a man Of good judgment, and il he fails any
where IN his dealings with men it is in his
disposition to trust people whom he does not
know.
OF course in Congress Mr.. Smith, and
the three other Independent Congressman,
are at a very great disadvantage Not be
ing Republicans, and refusing to enter the
Democratic caucus, they expect and receive
very little assistance in securing the local
legislation which their constituents desire.
The people Of Milwaukee want a new court
house and post-office. The old one has long
since ceased TO be at all convenient or com
modious, and the business of the custom
house and post-Ofice is very rapidly in
creasing from year TO year. There is moth
ing that Mr. Smith would like so much to
secure from TINS Congress as an apprOprla-
ton for a new public building As the
House committees were not appointed be-
fore the holidays no bills could be intro
duced, but over in the Senate bills were
introduced on the very first days of the
session, and before Mr.. Smith could intro
%duce his Milwaukee pubhc-building bill
Senator Spooner had introduced bill for
that purpose, had it reported back from the
committee and very promptly passed.
As soon as it went over to the House the
Republican members from Wisconsin at
once set to work to have the bill passed
without Mr. Smiths knowledge or coop
Grafton, and have nearly succeeded in do
ing So With the Democrats displeased at
Mr.. Smiths independence, and the Repub-
licans determined to outwit him if possible,
the chances are very decidedly against
him. The incident shows how feeble and
hopeless any movement to elect indie
pendent or Knights of Labor Congressman
must be unless the Independent party can
elect enough Congressman to hold the bal
ance of power in the House. Had the
Knights of Labor elected seven more mem
bers than they did, the situation would
have been completely reversed, and the
other two parties, instead of giving the
Labor men the cold shoulder, would have
been asking favors of them. T. j. A.

TROTTlNG TRACKS.
Some of Their PecuIiarities Described by
AN Expert.

Some of Their Peculiarities Described by
an Expert.
The noted horseman, W. B. Fasig, con-
tributes TO the current Spirit Of the Tunes an
interesting paper on trOtting tracks, from
which we extract the following: 1.-THE care
of a track has much more to do with it's
speed than is generally supposed. Tracks
differ so much in the nature of the soil that
TO write down rules as to their care and
preparation would be like giving set
formula to train every horse by and expect
the best results The old Chicago track at
a certain stage after a rain, was one of the
fastest that ever saw, and, strange to say,
its particularly fast stage would be the slow
est stage of the Cleveland track and the
latter would be dead and cuppy. Later on,
as they became drier, the Chicago track
would get too hard, and the Cleveland track
get right. / think that the Cleveland track
stays in condition a longer time without
rain than almost any in the country. Lex
ington, KY, has most wonderful track.
1t is of natural soil, and very fast soil at
that, and, l am told, gets but little care,
Although during the training season
which commences there early and con-
tinues lato-there are probably on an
average one hundred horses trained over
il daily, and nothing has been done to it in
the way of renewing the surface for over
ten years, yet il is as lively and fresh as
any track in America, and doubt il there
is a faster one. Any other track know of,
with the same use, would be utterly and
irrevocably worn out, and not fast enough
for a first-class funeral procession. Buffalo
has also a naturally fast track, but it is
miserably conditioned. \ slight grade on
a track is far from being disadvantage,
but it seems to me the descent
should be in the last part of the mile.
The Lexington track has heavy grade, the
descent commencing almost Immediately at
the wire and continuing about three-eights
Of a mile; a steep ascent for about a quarter
further, then descent, reaching nearly il
not quite to the wire. Undoubtedly that
track would be faster, however, were the
grades somewhat reduced The Cleveland
track has an up grade Of about sixteen in
ches TO the quarter pole, and over two feet
from that point to the half-mile pole; de-
scent Of about two and half feet from the
half to tho three-quarter pole; and from the
latter TO the wire, the remainder, something
over one foot. Whether this slight grade
rests any sets Of muscles and enables
horse to trot faster is very doubtful in my
mind, but to the grade our worthy president
attributes much of the excellence of the
track we all swear by.
