A Stacked Hand.

A young man named Thomas Smith
was arrested last night on a warrant
sworn out by G. F. Buster, charging
him with petit larceny. The arrest was
the outcome of poker game which was
participated in by Buster, Smith and
several others, in house near the San
Fernando street depot. Buster, it is
claimed, had been cheating his COM
panions before Smith took hand. which
fact was noticed by Smith, and when he
went into the game, Buster attempted to
win his money on a stcaked hand, but
was detected by Smith, who reached over
the table and took all the money that
had been wagered. Buster considered
that he had been robbed, and went to
the station and swore out the warrant.
Smith was released on giving bail in
the sum of $50 for his appearance.

The Ventura train bound for this CITY
yesterday afternoon had narrow escape
from being wrecked. As usual the train

it's way wi en- the engineer in charge saw
q large rock on the rails. He reversed
the engine immediately, but could not
stop in time, and there was q collision.
About half of the engine trucks went OF
the track, and this was all the damage,
The train was delayed about an hour,

Indian Troubles.

A correspondent writing from Gila Bend says;
 "A few days ago Mir. Beatty took up about one hundred head of cattle be- longing to the Papago race.of Indians and was holding them for damages done by said cattle on his ranch. The trial was to have come up before Justice Murphy on Saturday, September 2Sth. On the 26th Fourteen of tho Papagos came up well armed, on the war whoop, and or dered Deputy Fields to surrender They took the cattle from him and hurried them off the same night in the direc- tion of South Salia. These Indians have all been off their reservation for the past three months; have left their cattle and ponies to run at large, and this Lower Gila Bend country has been imposed upon for the last five years by this tribe, their stock are continually bothering some ranchman. They very frequently lind man absent from home, steal his grub and ransack his ranch for anything to carry of. The whole tribe are nat urally thieves. We have asked by pc tition to have this tribe removed, as there is no agent here to look after them, but So far have accomplished nothing. This small reservation is great draw back to this part of Maricopa county. The Indians do not stay on their reservation more than ons-third of the time, The authorities have been notified of this act, and Indian trouble is expected at this place. We hope the good people of Arizona will give US their assistance in having these Indians re- moved.

Apaches in the Finals.

Messrs. W. w. Porter and NJ. M. Rice returned Saturday evening from d hunting and prospecting trip in the Pi- nal mountains, covering a period of about ten days. They found but little game as large band of Apache Indians had passed over the ground but a few days before and carried off everything worth hunting. They were informed by Mir. Robert Irons, at his Pinal ranch, that these Indians had shot several of his cattle and few belonging to his neighbors. Word had been sent to the agent at San Carlos, but no attention had been paid thereto. The Indians, numbering about 200, are said to be without passes from the agent, and their depredations are liable to cause trouble for the annoyance to the settlers is sorely trying their patience. Messrs. Porter and Rice located several very promising gold lodges near the head of Pinto creek, and there is possible chance of their figuring as millionaires eventually, although they are quite reti- cent regarding their expectations Florence Enterprise

Sir Walter Scott,a Diary.

I wonder when the complete diary of Sir Walter Scott will be published. When Lockhart was writing his ad- mirable life of Sir Walter, he had three copies of the diary printed, and they were shown by him to Mr. Nor ritt, of Rokeby, and to Dean Milman, in order that they might advise as to what should be published and what kept back. The time has surely ar rived when the complete diary might be given to the world, as all those per sons who may be mentioned in it arc now dead. 1 suspect that when it Is published it will create a sensation. Lockhart wrote to Croker that the di arist ''absoived himself from any very strict watch over his pen, and set down much which the whim, or very often the laziness, of the hour could alone account for" There must have been much sharp criticism in the di ary, as Lockhart added, ''Posterity will know (when the whole is pub lished) that 1, at least, endeavored to avoid offending Scott's surviving con temporaries. and had Q spare Tories about as often as Wings the castiga- ton of the diarizing Malagrowther. ?

MT. F. B. Weightman, of J. Frank & Co.,, d large mercantile firm at Yuma. who has the contract for furnishing a large per cent of the supplies used in the maintenance of the Territorial prison. was in Tucson Saturday. As it has been repeatedly stated by certain papert in the Territory that people who were furnishing supplies for tho penitentiary and other Territorial institutions were unable to get any money on warrants is sued by Auditor Thos. Hughes, MT Weightman was sought for definite infor- nation regarding this matter. To 2 representative of the CITIZEN he stated that his firm had received warrants from Auditor Hughes amounting to about 5000, which hadto be disposed of at paI to the First National Bank at Phenix This leaves no room for further quib bling on this subject.
 It is also learned that Mir. s. $. Giles pie, of Yuma also received the cash, doi lar for dollar for 560C in warrants recei- we'd from Auditor Hughes.

Came Near Being Caught,

MT. c. F. Hoff, the windmill agent, re- turned last night from Silver King, Florence and Casa Grande. Mir. Hoff was only two hours behind the stage that was held up on Wednesday be- tween Florence and Casa Grande. He was coming to the railroad in a private conveyance. There were no passengers on the stage, and it was not known at Casa Grande yesterday the amount of money in the express box. 4 party con- sisting of deputy sheriffs, Chris. Loss, and several Indians trailers, left Casa Grande on Wednesday evening to pur- sue the robbers, and was heard from yesterday, they being on the trial. The probabilities are the men will be cap tured. MT. Hoff had intended to go to Casa Grande on the stage, but could not get through his business in time for its departure, so he made arrange ments for a private conveyance and missed the ''hold up."
 MT. Hoff says the people of Pinal county are determined that these rob- bers shall be caught, and that no time nor expense will be spared in running them down.

 Messrs. J. c. Loss and M. M. Hickey came into Florence Thursday evening after having trailed the stage robbers to the thickets on the river bottom near the White ranch, below Adamsville, which affords them the best hiding place in the country. The robbers will likely spend some of their newly ac- quired wealth in Florence within few days. =
 For several days past the water of the Florence canal has been running across the road some eight miles this side of Casa Grande. While the water has it's advantages of showing to the people coming into the county the enterprise going on, there is another class who are injured, and that is the poor freighter who is often compelled to carry his load across the mud hole on his back in or der to reach his destination.

THE STAGE ROBBERS
Reported Surrounded by Indians John c Loss After Them--One Mexican Arrested--Casa Grande LocaIs--

CASA CYANIDE, Ariz., Oct. 4th, 1889.
 Nothing farther that is definite can be learned of the stage robbers, as the parties in pursuit have not yet returned. It is rumored, however, that John c. Loss had run them into the river thick cts this side of the old town of Adams vile, between here and Florence, and had them surrounded by Indians. One man, a Mexican, was arrested to-day at aneighboring,ranch, whom it is suspect ed knows something in regard to the business, having been in the company of the robbers the night before. There were no passengers on the stage from Florence on the day of the robbery.
 Hoff of Tucson, contrary to his usual custom, hired team and also contrary to usual custom, carried his own funds on his journey down from Florence that day and thus luckily escaped being rob- bed. His good luck is still with him in the fact that five more Aermotor wind mills are ordered through him from Ca sa Grande.
 Two loads of ore came in last evening from the Vekol to be shipped away for milling.
 The bullion shipped recently from the Monarch was valued at two thousand dollars.
 A loaded team goes out to morrow to the Quiiotoas from here.
 The government buildings which were burnt down at Sacaton some time since are now to be rebuilt. Mr. Sellers has charge of the work.
 Plenty of water is reported running to waste from the canal on the road to Florence. It is nothing unusual for teams to be mired down. Jack Mccoy footed it back to town the other day for additional help to extricate his team from the mud. He was taking drum mer to Florence. What with canal and windmills the desert will soon bloom.

Something New and Good.

Col. Durr has again made step for ward as a public benefactor. It had come to his ears recently, that some of the ladies of Tucson were complaining about the beer sold in this city being bitter. Being on confidential terms with his grandmother, famous old lady who has spent her life in studying the likes and dislikes of her sex, he wrote her, explaining what was the matter with the ladies of Tucson. The grandmother knew at once the remedy, and straight way sent a carload of the celebrated Extra Pale Erlanger Standard Beer. This beer arrived yesterday, and has been sampled by the best judges in this city, and pronounced the best family beer in the West. It IS just the thing for the ladies, and no bitter taste is car ried with it. The Colonel asks that every family try few bottles of this beer, and feels confident that they wlll have no other afterwards. The grandmother has never made a mistake about the wants and needs of Tucson, and will answer for the satisfaction given by this new beer with her reputation, which is good
 The Colonel has been instructed to sell this beer at SIP per bbl. and s2.20 per dog :, so that all may share in the luxury and benefits afforded by its use.
