 testified that Bargman told him
 that when be Bargman) left Dagg's camp he went 10 the Crother's camp
 and from there in an easterly direc-
 ton toward Sunset mountains, but the trail of his horse showed lie turned and rode in a west course into the road leading to Chaves Pass near which Lockwood was killed, and here the tracks could be traced no more. These are about the facts as developed at the trial The murder of ". E. Lockwood was 6 very deplorable affair, and one that cast a gloom of sorrow over the entire community. The man who did the deed, whoever he is, deserves the serve penalty of the law inflicted upon him, as 1t was most c0wardIy and dastar;lly mur- der, and we'll merits the heaviest in- hiclion of the criminal law.-Flag- staff Democrat.

A Serious Charge.

On Tuesday deputy shelf Black
 and constable O'Nell arrived from
 the vicinity of Chaves Pass, having
 in charge L. c. Rargman, who is charged with the murder of ". E. Lockwood on the 17th inst. His preliminary examination was de
 ferred until Wednesday for the tes- timony of witnesses. At o'clock
 p. m. on that day he had a hearing
 before Judge Weatherford which re- suited in the defendant being held to await the action ofthe next grand jury and that too without bail. He
 was taken in charge by Sheriff O'Niell who was here waiting the
 action of the court in the matter, and taken to the Prescott jail. His
 attorneys will apply for writ of habeas corpus to admit their client
 to bail. The testimony Is rather
 lengthy and we give only the gist
 of 1t. The entire evidence is of a
 circumstantial character, as there
 were no eye witnesses to the killing
 It was in testimony by one witness that Bargman said at one time that he would kill Lockwood If he didn't pay him S25. By another witness at another time he said he would cinch him if he did not pay it, We don't know just when these threats were made, but they were uttered prior to the killing. There was testimony showing that this man Bargman left Dagg's sheep camp riding certain horse. and that tracks fthe same horse were found where Lockwood was killed, and traced for distance from the spot, also the same tracks were found leading up to Daggs camp where Bargman left the horse The two front shoes were taken from the same horse that Bargman rode and they corresponded in size with

\ Prehistoric Find.

The work being done on the Aztec ditch includes the carrying of the line through portion of the dis
 tance it runs out upon higher ground, Last Friday the party
 prosecuting this new work plough eel up the feet and leg bones of a human skeleton, on the ranch of Mir. James Stowell at Center Point
 Taking picks and shovels the work
 men quickly uncovered the rest of the skeleton and found it to be the remains of one of that prehistoric race that once covered New Mexi- co and Arizona with a dense popu- lation, of whose one time existence traces and evidences are scattered through every valley in both terri tories. The skeleton was evidently that of female and lay upon it's face. Arranged around the head were several bowls of Aztec pottery that were unfortunately broken by the impliments of the eXcavators. About twenty feet away was found the skeleton of man lying in the same position. Ofthe pottery ac companying one bowl was uncov- cred intact and was secured by Joe Howe, who took 1t home as me- mento of prehistoric times on the Animas. Later in tbe day Mr. Stowell uncoverd third skeleton, and Saturday morning forth was unearthed, and most of the pottery that had been buried with the

Political,

Hon. Lewis Wolfiey, Federal Gov ernor of Arizona, Is warmer than the weather and madder than the Asylum, because three-foYrths of the peop'e of Arizona are dissatis fled with his Russian like way of doing things. He vents his spleen upon the p5opie's hard working delegate in Congress, Hon. NJ, A. Smith, who has never yet neglected q duty to any of his constituents. regardless of politics, and has not. as was the clstom of Republican Delegates, demanded pay for his services.
 MT, Smith, as the representative in Washington ot Arizonians, has had hard work to perform. No delegate from this or any other Ter ritory stands better in the Capital of the Republic, none can compare with him in energy, ability and pop ularity. Although. yoteless in the great body, he has secured the floor and said better things-in an able. convincing way-for Arizonians than three-fourths Of the voting members have done and said for
 heir States. And yet Secretary No- ble's annointed governor has, to use his own language, authorized the insertion" Of editorials in his organs, the trend of which was in the direction of misrepresenting Mark Smith and sidelining his moves in behalf of the people he so faithfully represents.
 Why? Because Mr. Smith, like Attorney General Miller and thous- ands of others, knows that our gov ernor considers himself greater than the people, the President, Con- gress or the Organic act, for did he not call together bare majority of a deceased legislature and afiix his as governor, to their un- lawful doings? He did.
 And for what purpose? That he might parcel offices and divide pat ronage with members of the legis- iature and others.
 He did all these things after the President of the United States had told him plainly that he, the Presi dent, was not clothed with power to call our legislators together after the close of the session!
 Coy. W'olAey must have consid- cred the President small potatoes" for he did just what the President dared not do without violating his oath of office. The Governor took a similar oath, but only for fun, we presume, as he appeared to have forgotten it's provisions immediate ly after having mounted ''the throne" He then became a law unto himself and thought of noth- ing but of undoing what Gov. Zu lick and his assistants had done, long before the time for undoing had arrived.
 The Courier cared not one straw for Zulick and most of his ap-I

War Threatened in Crete.

London, April 21.-There is every reason to believe that the first shot of a new civil war will be fired in Crete at AmbelIos, where all the preparations for such an event nave been made. The Cretans are being deliberately driven to desperation by the Turks, with a view to undo ing the freedom gained in fifty years of struggling and to restoring the unlimited Turkish rule of the
 last century. The Turks had the advantage of being able at the be- ginning of last years disturbances to put the Cretans in the wrong and at the same time to gain a mil itary hold on the Island. The Powers are embarrassed, first, be- come they can not contest the right of the Turkish Government to re- iress what was plausibly represent ed as an insurrection; and, second ly, because strong pressure on Fur key might upset the existing combi- nation.
 The Turks have appealed to kus- sia for help, and might do so again. The powers are rendered even more cautious by their own present grouping into two camps and by the dread of precipitating a con flict between them. But this very hesitation involves the greatest risk. The Turks will probably be unable to conquer the Cretans. In the struggle Of 1S66-6S Turkey spent $j0,000000 and lost 60,000 men without succeeding. If similar effort should be again required Turkey can make it only upon con dition that she has no distractions elsewhere. But at this moment the Sultan has to face strained situa- tion alike i:l Asia and in Europe. The outcome of his latest attempt to ooerce Crete cannot be predicted, butsthere will probably be some in- reference by the Powers to put a stop to the butchery, not so much in the interest of he Cretan suffer- CTS as in that of Turkish bondhold- CTS who do not want to see the Ot- toman revenues wasted in a doubt ful and uSeleS warfare.

Most of the bones were great ly decayed and cruInbled to pieces with handling, The length of the bones indicated that the individuals were people of medium stature, but extraordinarilylarge boned in struc- ture.

The Grace Peruvian Contract.

New York, April 21-The World says: Tangible steps have been at last taken in that gigantic South American scheme known as the Grace Peruvian contract. The company which has been projected for so long a time and which is to assume the national debt of Peru in return for valuable concessions and grants from that Governme mt has been organized in London, The Directorate is composed Of Sir Alfred Dent, of Dent Bros. & Co. :; H. B. Grantel, Director in the Bank of England ; the Earl of Donnough more, J. B. Lubbock, J. B. Hcine- mann, of neinemann & Co. ; c. Gray Mott, a Director of the Great Western Railroad Sir Douglas Galton, of Liddedale, of East and West India Dock Company; II. Crens, the Amsterdam banker, and Sir Henry Tyler, Chairman of the Grand Trunk Railway. The trus- tees ofthe Peruvian bonds deposited with the company are Sir John Lubbock, Sir N. s. EIphinstone, Grant Duff and G. II. Hopkinson of the great banking house of that name.
 Ex-Mayor William Grace said to q reporter yesterday that he had received word from London to the effect that tlle first issue Of g. ,500,- 0Q0 dcbenturcs of the company, which is known as the Peruvin Cor poration, has been all taken The issue was made on Tuesday Of last week, he said, and was to close on Saturday. By Thursday the amount had been already over sub scribed, thus assuring the entire success of the scheme financially
 The capital of the corporation is e10, ,500,C00, or double the amount of Peru's original national debt. II is proposed only to raise the money as fast as it is needed. Thirty million dollars will be realized by the issue of debentures through the banking houses of Anthony Gibbs & Son, and it is the first series in this issue for which subscription books were opened last week.

A SOMEWHAT startling novelty in railway construction comes from Mexico in connection with the building of the new Monterey and Mexican Gulf Railroad. If the equipment be equal to the track the line must certainly be classed Al among railways, for it is reported that its sleepers and woodwork are mostly made from mahogany and rosewood, while the bridges and cul- verts are built of marble, both the wood and the stone being abundant along the line.

Not Altogether a Saint.

Folt Smith, Ark. April 24.-Rev
 George A. Marvin of the Metho Ii, church was convicted of perjury in the Sebastian county court and the
 jury assessed his punishment at seven years in the penitentiary. In
 January, 1888, Mr. Marvin was as- signed to ir:uit in the Green wood district, this county, and boarded with one of his parish oners, a respectable old gentleman named Bassctt. who had a hand some daughter, Marvin seduced the girl, but before this became known was transferred 10 another district. In February, 1889, lhe young lady gave birth to child, and her father caused Maryin'S ar rest. He was tried in the county court, Greenwood district, and con victed of bastardy. They appealed the case to the circuit court and took a change of venue to the Fort Smith district. He failed to ap- pear at the proper time, and in the meantime was indicted for perjury on four counts, having sworn false ly in his case at the time he was tried before the county court. He was arrested about five months ago and committed to jail here, where

MASTER Workman PoWderly gave some remarkable testimony before a congressional emigration commit fee, in which he said that foreign labor is on the increase in this coun- try; that these foreigners work in mines and on railroads at starva- tion wages, and live like animals in wooden sheds. Scarcely any of them speak English and their nor als are away below par. It is no uncommon thing for one woman to live with forty men. It is no use to legislate against foreign products as long as we allow such base pro- ducers to be dumped into this coun- try to compete against Americans with families whom they seek 10 bring up in civilized manner,

pointees, still, the latter had rights under the laws of Congress and ot
 Arizona, rights similar 'to ap- pointees of Gov. Tritle, which ap- pointees held their offices, under Governor Zulick, until the legal ex- piration of their terms.
 But law and custom did not bind Coz. Wolfley and the corps of of flee seekers by whom he was sur rounded. He blazed new trail to- wards the place of "spoils ;" he fail ed tO carry out the law as he found its and has the impulence to ask Congress 10 put the seal of approv- al upon his unlawful raid, or rape, of law and order in territory whose people and governors had always been law abiding, loyal cit lzens ot the Republic.
 He also wants Congress to disfran- chise men on account of their re- ligion and authorize bim to remove local officers who have been elected by tEe people!
 And because our Delegate in Con gress, has stood up manfully against such performed and threatened usurpations he, the Delegate, is ma iigned in every purchased organ of the self-esteemed great man who was never, or hardly ever, heard of until Secretary Noble made him governor of unfortunate Arizona. And, as his authorized editorials" have failed to convice any one, the governor gjrds his Joins or lions with a grape vine from his attorney generals vineyard, writes leath-  cry letter to congressman, the burden of which was that Delegate Smith "whispered" to him ill oom- mittee that he, the governor, would have called a convention to frame a constitution had it not been for fear (his fear) that the people would say he wanted q higher office This at time when, as papers of his own kind of politics were informing him, in every issue, that he could not be elected constable in any pre- cinct of the Territory, every word of which was true.
 And yet we will do Gov. Wolhey the justice to state that there is a doubt in the minds of many of our people as to whether his bronco acts were prompted hy ignorance or maliciousnesa.
 His ideas (derived from Kansas City speculators in bonds), of fund ing Territorial indebtedness, and the move to lease school lands, may have some merit and honesty in them. Indeed, the Courier hopes they have, as 1t would sooner raise than pull down further the scant for good which Arizo- nians accord their first home rule, , from atar governor.-Prescott c ou- ripr
