Another Victim.

James Burnett came up from the San Pablo mine last night and re- ports the finding of the body of George Adams, of this city, near his mine. His partner is missing, and it is thought that he too may have been killed. After leaving Santa Rosa the band of Apaches that attacked the freighter and des- troyed his outfit, went over the mountains in the direction of Ma cosari. Their presence was not known Tn this section until some Mexicans came to the San Pablo mine and reported that an Ameri- can had been killed and his house ransacked at a mine known as the Old Brown mine.
 An official, who in Mexico takes charge of such cases, and whose duties are of a similar nature to those of coroner in our country ! went at once to the place and there found Adams lying upon his face with his arms folded under him. He was turned over and the top of his head and face were found to be crushed in, evidently done with rocks. Upon closer investigation it was found he had received two bull let wounds in the chest. Burnett was with the party and wrapped a canvas shroud around the remains and laid them away to rest near his cabin. The cabin had been ran sacked and everything turned topsy turvy.
 Adams partner, known as Mack" is missing, and may or may not be killed. Their money was generally deposited with P. W. Smith, who is living near the Los Delicious mine, and it is possible that Mack may have been on the road when the Indians attacked the cabin.
 The killing was done on the 1st of May and the body found on the 2nd.
 In coming back to tombstone MT. Burnett crossed the trail of twelve Indians, supposed to be heading for the south end of the San Jose mountains. There were with the party one woman and one child. Part of them were on foot and part of them mounted.
 Neither troops or citizen are af- ter the Indians-Prosbector.

THE Tombstone Epitaph, 6 con- sistent Republican paper, goes for Gov.W Wolaey as follows: "Governor Wolfey can't keep still. Notwith- standing his many blunders he will persist in publishing his letters. His latest faux pas is the publica- ton of a letter to some Congress man, in which a number of mis- statements are made. Another thing that this last letter of his shows is that the Governor dictated the policy of the Tucson Citizen in it's opposition to statehood, which the Epitaph always suspected. In fact, the Governor seems to want to run everything in the Territory. Ii the Governor would only give his tongue OF pen rest we would all get along much better"

The Arizona Enterprise, of Flor ence, appears to have chopped on it's system" A short time ago, 1t ranged itself with the righteous people of the Territory. It now seems to be working for the un- righteous and in a very wicked way. Its conductors know that Hon. Jas. H. Wright, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Arizona, has filled the position well and faithfully and that his course both on and off the bench is endorsed by more than three-fourths of the people of Arizona. He has attend ed strictly, to his duties, has pur- chased property in Arizona and is here to stay, not to follow judges of former administrations and diff ferent political ideas, to the places from which they were sent from for partisan service.
 The Courier has never worshiped Judge Wright or any other Federal appointee, but 1t knows how Arizo- nians fell in regard to the man and his impartial work on the bench, and is surprised at the course of the Enterprise in rep publishing col umns of falsehoods about Judge Wright, Judge Baldwin, of Indiana, and other gentlemen, of whose con- sciences 1t knows little, if any thing.
 The long article published by it some time since from the Cincin- nati paper bristled with falsehoods, known to be such by every reading Arizonian. It stated that a gang of Democrats had used Judge Wright for base purposes, which, of course, was not the case. since members of the gang" were most ly Republicans and, we will say, honest, uw-abibing citizens of In-

Another bill for the admission of Arizona to statehood has been in- troduced in the United States sen ate and there is still hope that it will be tavorably considered. It is a deplorable fact the extension of this right to the people of the terri tories too often depends upon the partisan complexion of those who seek it and merit cuts but little fig ure. Just why this anomaly of a dependent existence is permitted under our republican form of gov ernment brings no satisfactory re- sponse from those possessing the power to remedy 1t, and no good reason can be advanced for refusing admission to any territory having the ability to sustain q state gov ernment. Arizona possesses all the essential requisites for statehood and is anxious to add another star to the national banner; its people demand it as right and do not ask it as a favor. They recognize the responsibilities it involves and they are ready 10 accept them. They want the constitutional privilege of self-governmenta and base their claim upon their right as American citi- zens to enjoy all the privileges and benefits guaranteed by the national constitution. Whether its people will add more or less party strength to one of the opposing political fac tions should cut no figure in the consideration of this question. The people are no less American citizens if they subscribe to the principles of either political party and it is not right that they should be pun ished by political peonage for the free exercise of their right ot opin- ion. We hope the national congress will recognize the justice of our de- mands and we will vouch for the fact that the people will prove them selves fully capable of maintaining the dignity of honorable statehood in a manner that will be creditable to the American union.-Florence Enterprise.

diana and Arizona, who were as sailed by power and pelf seeking fellows of i'll repute, whst labeled themselves Republicans.
 Their writer overshot every mark and point by his reckless and auda- cious lying He either never re- sided in Arizona, or knew nothing of the men and things he wrote of as was proven by his assertion that the Wabash cattle company Gan Indiana organization) ruled the courts of the Territory, although they haven't had a case tn court since Judge Wright was appointed by President Cleveland. They are also Republicans, every one of them. So is Henry Tuning, whom they malign.
 A recent article, copied into the Enterprise, is just as ruthless as the first, in proof of which We need but deny the assertion that ''the citizens of Arizona gathered up railroad tax receipts and sent them to President Harrison, "who straight way removed Judge Wright on the plea that he was expressing the A. P. railroad, we suppose, corpora ton which has never yet paid full taxes.
 Bringing this matter into the judge question would seem to point, not with pride, to the railroad as a factor in the shameless assault up on all the people of Arizona, who stood with those of Mohave, Apache and Yavapai counties, in lawful efforts to make the railroad pay it's taxes and aid sorely pressed citi- zens to defray expenses of govern ment, much of which was incurred in the protection of it's people and property.
 The manly way for schemers we have alluded to would have been to have said, Judge Wright, you are a Democrat you rendered an opin- ion for the people and against the railroad you have done your full duty as a judge; we want your place; certain Senators, aye, even Republican Senators, say they see no cause for your summary remov- al, so we hired certain men and pa pers to falsely accuse you of wrong doing and by so doing, in an enter prising way, have accomplished our nefarious purpose.-Prescott Cour- fer.

Lee White Arrested.

Santa Fe, N. M., May 9.-The resign of terror that has existed in southern Santa Fe county for some months past is ended, and the cur tain has fallen on a series of the most daring moonlight robberies and holdups ever known in this section of New Mexico. This cul- minated yesterday in the capture of Lee White and Frank Cody, and their confinement this morning in the county jail.
 After the robbery at Lamy Junc- ton Wednesday morning, which resulted in Vim. Sayles being seri- ously wounded, posse of men set out in pursuit of the robbers and the whole country was wild with excitement. H. D. Benton, J. w. Benton and Jim Chevees set out from San Pedro and in a short time struck the trail. They travelled in a northWesterly direction and succeeded in keeping track of the men to a point about nine miles from San Pedro, in the vicinity of the Sandia mountains, where they discovered a man some little dis tance away, standing beside and holding a Winchester rifle. The pursuing party rode up and com manded the man to throw down his gun. This he refused to do. One of the Bentons began firing at the man, and not until he had been shot at several times would he throw down his gun. He was captured and relieved of his arms, which consisted of a Winchester and two rev0lVers. The man proved to De Frank Cody.
 Cody was on guard when cap tured, and White was asleep near by. While the shooting was going on and Cody held the pursuing party at bay, White crawled behind a house and escaped to the moun- tains on foot. Cody was placed un- der guard and the party got fresh horses and started after White. In the vicinity ofthe mountains, where White had been lost man was sent ahead as a pilot. This man struck his trail and followed 1t to an arroyo, where he found White in the bottom of the gulch fast

FROM present indications it is an even bet that the legislature which will meet in January next, will be called upon to elect two United States Senators to represent the State of Arizona in the National Congress. In such an event the coming election will be made a red hot campaign from the beginning, and none but true and tried men should be placed on the ticket for any position.

SAYS the Florence Enterprise Advices from Washington are to the effect that the Senate Committee on Territories has ordered reported a substitute for the bill to legalize the acts of the Arizona legislatures, that simply legalizes the legislatures, in- cluding the last one, and reserves to future legislatures the power to amend or repeal any acts so legal ized. This eliminates all the obiec- tionahle features included in the measure urged by Gov, Wolfiey and
 expresses a confidence in the abili- ty of our people to make their own laws. The action of the committee will commend itself to every think

asleep with his guns across his breast. The pursuer quietly re- moved the guns and White awoke to find that he was surrounded by armed men and was minus his shooting irons. White and Cody had in their poseSion five watches. The prisoners were kept under guard at San Pedro last night and this morning arrived in Santa Fe. Whites career in this section has been we'll ventilated and it is not necessary now to mention his deeds of deviltry. He is not over 24 years of age and does not present the appearance of a desperate man. He was under a bond of S1,000 at the time of his capture. Cody is we'll known around San Pedro. He is not over 21 years of age, is un- der the medium size, and has a boyish appearance.

THE New York World in discuss ing the eight-hour movement, says !: "There is no reason to believe that the establishment of an eight-hour day will work anything like a cure, so long as the laws of the land re- strict the liberty of the workmen to exchange the product of his labor for the necessaries of his life and exact blood-money of him at every step for the enrichment of favored class of monopolists. But in many occupations the eight-hour day is entirely practicable and its estab- ment will be of the utmost advan- tage.
