Both Were Good Shots.

Butler (Mo.), Dec. 4.-United States Marshal Willis, who had a warrant for the arrest of Pierce Morgan, a moonshiner, last night met him on the street.
 Morgan declared that he would not be taken alive, and dreWn a revol- yer and fired. The bullet missed its mark, and Willis whipped out his revolver and both fired simul- taneously. Both bullets took ef- feet. Willis was shot through the heart and died instantly. Morgan was shot in the stomach and died this morning
 Another story of the tragedy is that it was the consummation of a long-standing feud. Yesterday Will lis, while intoxicated, quarreled with some of Morgan's friends, and was arrested by Morgan, who is City Marshal. Willis upon being released swore out a warrant for Morgan's arrest, charging him with obstructing a Federal officer while in the discharge of his duty. He next went to Morgan's house, called him out and the shooting follow ed

MajOr Powell On Arid Lands.

New York, December 5.-Major J. W. Powell of the United States Geodetic Survey read a paper be- fore the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon on Irrigation and the Lands of the West"
 He proposes that all arid lands be divided into drainage sections according to natural watersheds, and the irrigation canals and res erviors in each be constructed by the people therein, the money to be raised by the issuance of bonds or in similar manner, and that the only part which the General Gov ernment should take in the matter is the passage of laws to regulate the manner of the procedure and the distribution of water.

In this world of ours, thousands lie sleeping, carelessly, little con- cerned about what is going on on the outside. They rely upon on easy concience in the fancied se- curity of personal integrity. The storm is raging and 1t is time that we were all awake. There is an epoch approaching in our history which will try mems souls. It can be avoided if men will reason and not try to force matters. The gath cring clouds portray no good; some thing must be done, and that quick ly. Ignorance and idleness breed contempt and contempt breeds recklessness, and recklessness, an archy-anarchy, ruin. That man who is plotting the robbery of the masses for his selfish ends will awake to a sense of his own folly when tis too late,-Dayton Work man,

The trail will be laid out by couple of experi- enced men who are conversant with the country known as the desert. AL though the movement is in it's in fancy, the Prospector is informed by prominent stock grower that the new enterprise has taken a practical shape.-Prospector.

T'he I've Outlaws.

Frederico and Geronimo, two of the worst characters that are known to Arizona and Sonora have eluded all efforts to capture them since their escape from the Mexican au- thorities on the day that they were condemned to be shot. They have been located several times but eff fort to capture them have been un- availing.
 The Wilcox Stockman publishes the statement of Mexican boy who came into town and reported having met the two train robbers about six miles from Fort Grant. The boy was stopped on the road by the bandits, and Geronimo want ed to kill him, but Frederi recog- nized the boy as a party who, sev- eral years ago, and before he { Fred erico) had become an outlaw, had loaned him two dollars, and he pre- vented his companion from molest- ing him and also paid him the two dollars. He made number of in quiries in regard to several Wilcox people, and asked if Ed Wood and Otto Davis still lived there. On be- ing informed that they did, he told the boy to tell Ed. and Otto to look out for them as they would kill them on sight. On the boy telling his story at Wilcox, Messrs. Wood and Davis went to the place where the bandits were seen and endeav- ored to get on their trail, but with out success. They rode for two days in Graham mountains, but without discovering a trace of the men. They have no doubt, how ever of the truth of the boys story

Union in Central America.

Managua (Nicaragua), Dec. B. President Sacasa has signed the treaty admitting Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, San Salvador and Guatemala, under the name of the United States of Central America but 1t is believed the Nicaraguam Congress will reject the measure. The plan of union provides that the first ten years it will simply be an offensive and defensive alliance, and the President of the Union will have charge only of the diplomatic and foreign relations of the five re- publics. At the expiration of that period the Union will be cemented by the adoption of a constitution which will embrace all political, commercial and other relations be- tween the five republics and foreign powers. A common monetary standard and common tariff laws will be adopted, but there will be free trade between the different re- publics. Honduras, Guatemala and San Salvador have already signed the treaty, and it is understood that Costa Rica will do the same.

recover.

THE great Irish Nationalist Lead CT, Charles Stewart Parnell, recent ly disappeared from his usual haunts in London, and has been missing so long that some alarm is felt for his safety. It is said to have been his custom, from time to time to exclude himself for short periods, as the only means of get ting absolute rest. His prolonged absence upon this occasion, how ever, is looked upon as sufficiently strange and serious to cause suspi- cion of foul play.

The defendants in the Wham rob- bery case are Mormons all the dew ilment that has been going on in Graham county has been kicked up by Mormons; it is to the interests of law and order, peace and har- mony that the Mormons be not al- lowed to get tod strong toothold in Arizona.-Nogales Herald.
 The Herald is mistaken. There are but two of the defendants Nor mons, Gilbert Webb and his son Wilfred. The remainder are all gentiles, and have no connection whatever with the Mormon church. If the records of the criminal courts of Arizona can be taken as an index it will appear that the Mormons as a class are as law abiding people as any class in the tertiary. The Star does not agree with the doctrine of Mormonism, but that is no reason why they should be misrepresented. As class they are industrious, thrifty and temperate and have done very much in the rec lamation of the deserts of Arizona, and sim pie justice will accord. tAem this credit.-Tucson Star.

Grand Jury System.

Under the most favorable circum- stances this system is objectiona- ble. As 1t exists in Arizona, it is simply abominable. It requires twelve men to find an indictment the jury consists of but fifteen members-four persons can thus block the wheels and screen any criminal. Several indictments found at this term, showed plainly that deadly weapons had been used, and yet the parties were indicted only for misdemeanors, thus plainly showing to the public that they were compromise findings.
 If we ever have decent legisla ture in this Territory, there is no subject more important for action than either the abolition, or enlarge ment of the grand jury.

Surveyor General Johnson has transmitted his report on the so- called Peralta grant to the secretary of the interior. His decision is against the validity of title papers, and charges the claims to be found ed in fraud, and recommends that the claim be not allowed. He also urges the prosecution of all parties who have been in any way instru- mental in attempting to perpetrate so violent a fraud upon the govern ment and the settlers who are loca- ted on the alleged grant. General Johnson has done we'll in thus promptly disposing of this giant land octopus which has so long hung like threatening cloud over the fairest portion of Arizona, and he has forever put at rest the re- ports put in circulation charging him with sympathizing the great fraud.-Tucson Star.
