Says the Lafayette Advertiser: The
wild girl Of Catahoula has got over in
to Rapides Parish, and was seen BY a
fishing party, who were badly frighten-
ed and managed to make their escape
without pausing to cultivate her ac-
auaintance. A New Hayen paper sug-
easts that an elegant hustle, properly
baited, might be able to capture her;
but II il d mistake. It is only in arti-
fciaI society that the hustle is affected.

The Solomonville correspondent of the Clifton Clarion says: "Deputy Sheriff Thomas of Pinal county arrived here on Saturday evening in charge of one Nc Neil, who is wanted in Apache county for murder. McNei was arrested in Phenix on the charge above stated, but made his escape to Florence, where he stole. a horse and saddle. Deputy Sheriff Thomas struck his trail near the latter place and followed it to near Dun can, where he found McNeil employed on one of the cattle ranches near that place. He immediately placed him under arrest and also secured the horse and saddle that was stolen. The jail officials of this place before imprisoning McNeil, searched him and found in one of his bootlegs a case knife Deputy Sheriff Thomas left with his prisoner for Florence Sunday morning. The citizens of Pinal county are to be congratulated upon having such a good and efficient officer as MT. Thomas has shown himself to be, and the citizens should reward him liberally, thus proving that they appre- ciate his valuable services, and as an in ducement for him to continue in his well doing."

OLD GUARD,

The Old Guard mill closed down last Saturday for repairs and cleanup, after successful run of eight and one-hali days. As result good shipment of bullion was made. The engine was not working properly, and by request of Superintendent Geo. R. Williams, MT. E. B. Gage, of the Grand Central, kind ly allowed Sam Proctor, his machinist, to overhaul the engine. Alter a three hours run on Wednesday, MT. Proctor pronounced the machinery in perfect order, and competent to do the work re- quired of it, with forty pounds less steam and one-half the amount of fuel used in the first run. On Thursday last the mill started up again on regular run, and is now working to charm. Mr. Williams desires publicly to express his thanks to the Grand Central people for their kindness in extricating him from the diff faculties occasioned by the mistakes made by what he considers incompetent engineers. The mine on the different levels is looking well, and ore reserves are believed to be sufficient for a long and successful run.

Don A. Sanford has left for Washing ton on business. He has several large residence properties in the capital city, one of which he has disposed of and he goes to close the trade. MT. Sanford IS one of the most solid and substantial citizens of Arizona. He has been resident of the Territory more than twelve years, during which time he has accumulated a large fortune, and is to-day among the heavy taxpayers of the Territory. A year ago on account of i'll health he moved to Washington with view of permanently residing there, and invested largely in real property, all of which has rapidly advanced in value, but his own health as we'll as Mrs. San ford's instead of improving grew worse, so that they again returned to Tucson, where they have fnlly regained their health Mir. Sanford expects to be ab- sent about month.-Tucson Star.

The Police Gazette will probably have the following incident fully illustrated: On Wednesday last about noon young man from Sonora, who has been painting the town red for several days, was seat ed Tn the private card-room at the Pony saloon. He claims to have rung the bell for drink, and getting no response, he fired off his six, shooter into the floor, which caused quite stampede. The young fellow is only plain engineer at mine, and when not in his cups, is quiet and peaceably disposed, but the Police Gazette artist will probably represent him as desperate-looking rooster with broad sombrero, long hair, big spurs, and half dozen knives and pistols stuck in his belt If man wants to make na- tional reputation, let him come to Tomb stone.

A. B. Sampson, Pima's popular Re corder, has developed quite literary taste. His latest contribution is five column article to the National Tribune. It is well written, and vividly portrays the hardships and battles incident to a soldiers life in campaigns, through Ari- zona, New Mexico and Colorado, between the years 1862 and 1865; first against the Contederates and lastly against the h. dans in Colorado, whom for brutal and repeated murders they attacked and ex- terminated almost to a man-nearly 500 being killed at the time.-Ci,izen.

A TOMBSTONE MAN IN TROUBLE

Last Tuesday evening in the little town of Whittier, Quaker settlement in Los Angel es county, California, James E. Niles, was, according to accounts pub lshed in the Los Angeles papers, foully murdered by one George Parks, who was running a saloon in that place in partner ship with Billy Levan, well-known in Tombstone. The murderer escaped, and has not yet been apprehended. The next day mob was formed, composed of about I5o citizens, which proceeded to demolish the saloon, and afterwards burned the building to the ground. They then ordered Levan and every other man who was known to have been in the saloon at the time of the murder to leave town at once

For the first time since its existence, Tombstone is infested with gang of housebreakers and petty thieves. The city authorities have offered reward for their apprehension, and citizens generally are sleeping with one eye open. On Tuesday last the thieves effected an en- trance into the residence of Mir. F. N. Wolcott and stole watch and chain, keys and belt of cartridges, but were discovered and frightened away before committing any further depredations. Wednesday night Col. Herring's law of. flee was entered, but an examination failed to discover that anything was miss ing. Other houses have been ralded, but little of value has been taken.

Tom Holson, of the U bar ranch. Lone Mountain, has discovered feed foi his milk stock which he thinks is in every way equal, if not better than corn. It is a sort of soap weed or cactus that grows in abundance everywhere. It has head about the size of cabbage, although some of them will weigh fifty pounds.
