THE LAND GRANTS.
A Settler on an Arizona Lana oran' Wants the Titles to the Claims Speedily Settled.
BENSON, A. T., Aug. 4


 EDITOR CITIzEN-I have read "lUh deen interest communication signed aA- in your issue of July 3Oth, on the spb;ect of Mexican Land Grants, ln which the writer starts out by asking: .syUbv has not some tribunal been crea- tad bv congress for the prompt settle ment of these titles, the entire expenses of ench court or commission to be pald py the United States?"
 Now. Mr. Editor, as you nave Klholy extended an invitation to others through the channel of an able artlcle on the matter in the same number or your valuable journal, to express thelr views of the question, l will take ad- vantage of it to say that many settlers on these grants are now asking them eelves the very same question that the intelligent author of the communication referred to. is asking you. We are ask ing ourselves the question, too, with a nainful suspicion that the interest or the people is not being looked after just as if ouuht to be, in the facility with which the leaving open or that question. and its agitation, can be made to seem the political fortunes of our representative ln Congress "hne the writer of this too highly esteems our delegate to accuse him of being guilty or such thing, yet the people are oeeom- ing very impatient to see the templatl0n of it promptly removed from his path, and their own rights and the rights or these grant claimants settled by some method which will be just to all con cerned. We want it distinctly under stood by our representative that when he re-enters the halls of Congress that in Arizona too: Hope deferred maketh the heart sick" and that we wish hlm to sse to it that some practical measure be enacted through his efforts, by winch the titles to the very best lands in Pima and Cochlse counties, now In dispute ana becoming a subject of contention among the settlers against MT. Smith as well as well as against the grant claimants, will will be settled for all time, instead of being a stumbling block in the path of everyone who really swishes to develop the agricultural resources Of the two counties and to supplant the steer in at least a small degree with thriving farm CTS. who are in the safe possession of their homes.
 trust the CITIZEN will continue to lend its strong hand in this work, m just such timely articles as that one which have read to-day. In conclu- sion I wish to say, l am settler on one of these grants, and am vitally Tn the ti- tie which will finally control the land embraced within its boundaries.

Probably no one thing has caused such general revival of trade at Geo.

IN THE DITCH.
Passenger Train Wrecked Near Ben son Last Night Engine in the Ditch.-The Wreck Caused by ViI- Hans.

son Last Night knfs1ne In Cuc
 Ditch.-The Wreck Caused by Will
 Hans.
 Passenger train No. 20, going west was wrecked last night at about Il 30 o'clock. about two miles north of Benson,on 20 foot grade. The engine went down the embankment twenty feet, turning com pletely over. The mail car also jumped the track and swung around cross ways on it, which required a good deal of time to get it righted. The mail car was not damaged, but the engine was badly wrecked. Nobody was hurt, but the escape of the engineer and fireman was a mystery. Particulars have not been received at this office. The train was coming up grade, but had it been the train going east and down grade the injaries can only be conjectured.
 THE CAUSE
 The wreck was caused by some person or persons removing four bolts from the fish plate, pull ing seven spikes from beside a rail and two curve-braces. As soon as the engine struck the lOosened rail the track spread, and it went down the em- bankment, turning completely over. Tine tracks of the williams who done the dastardly work, were plain to be seen, leading up and down the embark ment to telegraph pole, where had been tied one or more horses. Who ever it may have been, they had evi- dently planned the deed previous to un- dertaking its execution, as they had broken open the tool house at Benson and taken claW-bar, with which the spikes were pulled and which was left at the wreck and picked up by the train men at the bottom of the embankment.
 No person was seen by the train men or passengers in the vicinity of the wreck, and it is presumed that II the intention was to ditch the train for the purpose of robbery, those who planned it lost their nerve when the time for ac- tion came.
 A reward of 5000 has been offered by the railroad company for the arrest ana conviction of the person or persons who caused the wreck.

by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an indamed condition Of the mu-

this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbIing
sound or imperfect hearing. and when it Is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken ont and
this tube restored to its normal condition.

STOCK AND FARM.

OskaIcoss Independents: Mr.. Chris.
Hebbe, Of Perry vicinity, thinks there Is
no doubt Of the great advantages Of de-
hoTning cattle, and is stronger than ever
in the opinion since observing the stock
at the Kansas City yards, where the de-
horned cattle looked so much better and
were so quiet and doeile.
The Kansas farmer reports from all
parts Of the state say that the late rains
have been invaluable to the winter wheat,
which, IN all counties but Montgomery,
is In splendid condition. There tbs Hes
sian fly is causing some trouble, but no
serious results viii follow. The cOndi-
ton Of stock, on account of the mild
winter, is said TO be splendid, and the
prospects for the farmer and stOclman
were never better at this season.
Ellsworth Democrat: L. 81. Wester-
man, OF the Dial Brine stock farm, this
