The spectators Of that extraordinary
scene said that there was something SO
terrible in the minister's tone and manner
as he uttered this warning that they trem-

said, appeared badly frightened His fat
cheeks turned pale, and he shook in his
chair like pudding in bag. Was not this

1t was hot forenoon in the village OF
Crammond, which lies somewhere east Of
the Mississippi and north OF the Ohio. The
long, dusty street, shaded by patriarchal
elms from the glare of the sun, lay very
quiet and still Few figures could be seen
along it's length except these three who stood
in front of Jones' general country store. "
Mr. Ripley was farmer who had just rid
den into town for the doing Of divers er-
rands connected with practical agriculture,
and Mr.. Nelson was the teacher OF the vii
lage school, and had some leisure in this
time of summer vacation.
All three were alert, brisk looking young
men, who talked and acted as though they
had something to do In life, and were zeal
ously trying to do 1t. Their meeting at this
place ON this morning was chance one,
and their discussion also came about in a

wagon to enter the store, Jones stood just
outside the door. and Nelson, happening

marked that Fourth Of July would be along

upon the practicability Of having a public

Tho Most Reliable and Safest Means Of

Two men of science in two different
countries Francis Gallon in En-

Identification which policemen and de-
tectives, with all their ingenuity, seem
never to have employed. These gen.
tlemen have observed that the human
thumb, dipped in ink, in blood. black
lead or in any other loose, adhering
substance, and pressed upon sheet Of
paper. leaves mark which is per-
fectly characteristic Of the individual.
Mr.. Gallon has remarked that no
two persons thumbs make the same
mark; the lines and depressions in the
skin. which make a series of wave
lines when pressed upon paper, are
never the same in two different indi-
viduals. I!

The Facts.

The true facts in regard to the kill ing of the Mexican in the spring of 1882 by Dave Nagle are as follows, as testi- fed to by dozens of men who were resi- dents of Tombstone at that time, and who still reside here: The Mexican had been arrested and fined for violating a city ordinance, and was granted per
 mission to go out in charge of police officer Joseph F. Poynton to procure the money. They went to house on First street where a number of Mexicans were carousing, and after being in the house a short time the Mexican told Poynton that he did not intend returning with him. Poynton con- cluding that discretion was The bet ter part of valor in this case, re- turned up town and hunted up Nagle, who was at that time Chief of Police.
 The two officers started to get thelr man, and when near the house the Mexican
 came out and fired at them with a Winchester, hitting Poynton in the groin and then started to run. Nagle emptied his revolver at the fugitive, but apparently did not hit him. About this time a man rode uphaving Winchester and Nagle secured both horse and gun and gave pursuit. When near where the Sterring mill..now is, he caught sight of the Mexican and fired, killing him. Poynton was laid up for eleven weeks, no arrests were made, as the officers had merely done their duty. These are the facts in the case, all assertions to the contrary notwithstanding -Epitaph

Southern Arizona Fruit.

Mir. c. c. Watkins, of Crittenden, has placed the CITIZEN under obligations for box of nice fruit, grown on small experimental orchard, also some en- eouraging news regarding fruit raising in Southern Pima County. The peaches were large and delicious, and were grown on tree three years old. The apples were grown on a four year old tree and very large, sound and solid. demonstrating beyond question the ad- vantaces of that section as a fruit grow ing country. MT. Watkins has had ripe peaches in abundance for family use since the 4th of July. One peach tree yielded over three hundred pounds of beaches. which at the retail market price would amount to over $50. MT. Watkins also has recently planted some fine apFicets. prunes and pears. All this fruit was raised without any irrigation whatever, save what nature furnished by way of rains. After recitiDg the above facts Mir Watkins concludes his kind notes as follows:
 ~These are facts that l wish the people of Southern Pima County to i know, in order to encourage them to 1 take more interest in setting out frult trees
 I think the day is not far distant when | Southern Pima County will be at the front in regard to fruit raising.
 l am so well pleased this season with my trial orchard that I am preparing | four acres more, which l intend to fill with fruit trees this coming winter.p | - Also Mr. Geo aSchofield brought some I very fine fruit to-the city this weekfrom | the foot hills. of the Santa Ritas, that was grown without any irrigation.
 The foothills of the mountains of Southern Arizona are peculiarly adapt ed to frrit culture, and no irrigation IS required. and experiments already made in that direction prove that Southern California will be dist2nced here at
 home in few years in the production of
 all kinds of fruit. The day IS not far distant when the shipping of California fruit to Arizona will be thing of tue
 past. and hundreds of fourishine orchards in the mountain foot hills will blossom and yield fruit to supply the Territory east Of us nov depending on
 Southern California.

J. A. PERALTA REAVIs
Writes From New York to Favor the Constitutional Convention. He be- lieves lin Home Rule.

We'll now, here is a go. Won't the editors of the Gazette and Herald get together and rejoice when they read the following. The very cookies of their pure hearts will burn with exultation at such reinforcement to their uneven struggle for a constitutional convention farce in Arizona. Reavis is not only Tn favor of statehood for Arizona, but pro poses to lend his support to the move mont. Reavis is man that looks after his own interests, the Peralta grant Ill particular, and it is not to be wondered that he would oppose those to whom he can never look for any assistance to his schemes. J. A. Peralta Reavis battling for the best interest of Arizona! He stands ready to receive the people with
 open arms to hospitable poor houses.
 He admits that local administrations
 are expensive, but from his past eXper- fence in Arizona, he is satisfied that sue
 cesses are to be obtained from them, that are not to be hoped for so long as the guardian hand of Uncle Sam remains at the helm, as bar to unwholesome legislation. The people in Arizona know very we'll what is meant by Reavis when
 .he lends his support" to scheme, it is
 to be repaid with lafge interest. and that, too, at sacrifice of the best interests of the people:
 NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 1889. ED. CITIzEN.-DEAR SIR. I am in favor of a Constitutional Convention
 and shall lend my support to the early admission of Arizona to Statehood, be- | lieving that local administration or
 Home Rule is the true policy of Politi- cal Economy, which can be more se- curely attained in statehood than other
 wise. From my experience in the west | our greatest institutions and greatest
 successes have been attributable to To- cal administration, although in some measures more expensive.

STRONG ARGUMENT AGAINST TIT.

pr. George Martin has decidedly sound views on the question of state hood. Said he: "I think the population of Arizona is entirely too small to hope for admission as a state. l believe it will be or 10 years before Arizona will be added to the Uuion as state, and that any constitution framed now would be unfit and not at all suited to the conditions that will exist then. Any thing done in that line now would be a waste of money, as the work would surely have to be done over again be- fore the final admission of the Territo ". 1 believe the admission of Arizona as a state now would result in driving capi- tai from the Territory, and prevent peo- pie coming here to invest in enterprises on account of the increased taxation that would be necessary for the main tenance of state government. The taxes m this Territory are now almost beyond endCranc and statehood would undoubtedly result in their material in- crease. pr. Martin is Democrat.
 MT. Frank Allison, merchant, briefly expressed his opposition to the conven- tion. Said he:-I can see no necessity for such action. It will certainly re- suit in no material benefit to the terri tory, and the expense will be considera- ble. The territory is now moving along and making slow progress, and I a m in favor of postponing the question of statehood until we are better able to ford state government"
 Ex-Sheriff Bob Paul said he was not posted in the law and had not given the subject any consideration. He would like to see Arizona state, but whether it would result benefcially to the people he was not prepared to give an opinion.
