The following is the text of a proposed plank in the republican platform that elicited prolonged discussion in the con- vention and was finally rejected by that body:

MURDER WILL OUT.
Antonio Yeppa, 4 Fugitive From Justice Since 1886, Arrested at Levin's
 Park and Held for Murder.
TncSon Citizen.

tucson CIflZen.
 The old trite saying, that murder will out. is verified in the case of Antonio Yeppa, who came as a bridegroom to the Feast, and remains prisoner, charged with the crime of murder.
 In 1886 Antonio Yeppa. the prisoner, and Hosea Hario Burdon the victim, pass ed night of revelry at rodeo near Tu- bac. Mescal flowed freely and the whilom friends became qGarrelsome. Words led to blows, and in the early morning Bur don was found i'll an unconscious state, his head badly beaten with the butt end of pistol The affray occurred near the house of Frank Proctor, and there the wounded man was carried to be cared for. Yeppa also came to Proctor's for breakfast. During the meal Proctor stepped into the room for the purpose of getting his winchester, but Yeppa had his suspicious aroused and together with a Mexican named Ceroz fled. They were pursued by Proctor and two Mexicans to the Santa Cruz, where the trail diverged. one going up, the other down the river. The pursuing party divided, Proctor and one Mexican going down, the other Mex ican going up. Proctor soon found he was on the wrong trail and returned The Mexican followed the fugitive as far as Ariyaca, where all clue was lost and the murderer reached Sonora. Here he has remained since, employed a portion of the time as guard, but always Under the vigilant eyes of the American officers.
 Believing the matter forgotten, An tonio crossed the line last week with the intention of spending a week or two at the feast in this city. Following the morning of his arrival, Marshal Roche and Sheriff Shaw spotted him in Levins Park, and he was immediately arrested. Antonio will have ample cause to re- member the Feast of San Augustine.

Imprisoned Editors.
Nogales Herald.

NOSd4SS d6Tdlu,
 Both editors of ,El Monitor, Roberto Bernal and c. Aguirre, are HOW in jail at Magdalena. Benal was arrested last week and on Sunday morning taken from the jail in Nogales, Sonora, to the Magdalena jail On Monday while Mir. Aguirre was on the Mexican side of the line an officer stepped up to him and informed him that he had an order for his arrest. Aguirre claims that he demanded to see the order but the officer would neither show it nor tell him upon what charge he was being arrested. He was hustled into the jail and the next day also taken Magdalena jail. It seems that the trouble all arose from the Monitor containing articles se- verely criticising Mexican administration officials, Some think the imprisoned edi- tors will be liberated as soon as the cleo ton is over while others think they will be cinched into silence if it takes years of confinement
 Their paper appeared yesterday but we understand no more numbers will be is sued until the proprietors are liberated.
 Such an attempt to muzzle the press in the United States would cause howl that would unseat Presidents, United States Senators and Congressmen by plateons and the screams of the American eagle would be heard from ocean to ocean.

 Mir Walters, the new mail contractor, has built new stage station one mile be- low Riverside, at the Burk place. Mir Richard and family, from Phenix, will run the new station.
 Yesterday the river was fordable for the first time in two weeks, but it is rain ing again on the San Pedro; if the San Pedro continues to rise the next thing we'll see will be Dudleyville floating down the Gila. It has caved within fifteen feet of Mir. Cooks dwelling and place of business He piled in lot of brush to change the current but directly after the river raised again, washed his work away and now he Is at the mercy of the water. MT Bates dwelling IS in serious danger too; several of his outhouses are gone, and 1t all seems to have settled here at Riverside The quicksand here is from three to four feet deep, which makes 1t dangerous to animals crossing.
 We had quite an Indian scare between this place and Dudleyville four days ago; there were soldiers scouting up and down the river and the report was that Kid and hls outfit were seen there. It created HhAAN q CNNtO dul NtNCI1l moved into Riverside for safety.
 The road between this place and Globe has been impossible with a vehicle oi any kind since the last waterspout, which happened about two weeks ago; previous to that Mir. Kuykendall, the roadmaster, had 1t almost repaired from the effects oi the waterspout which was so disastrous to the stage in Kane Springs canon. He is now building the road on the side ol the hills wherever be can.
 Messrs. Pearman and Montgomery from Florence, are here, forcing Mother Eartt to yield her precious yellow metal tC them, with the aid of rocker and dry washer.

From Arivaca.
Tucson Star.

A person just in from Arivaca, some sixty miles from this city, says that they have had much rain there lately-so much so, that number of crops along the Arivaca and San Louis arroyos were destroyed. The losses in this regard, though small. were great to the poor Mexican ranchers, who generally SOW and plant but a few acres at a time. The grass is splendid and growing with a vigor never before known. The cattle, of which there are several thousand in that country, are now looking fine and growing fat. The mines whereabouts are being worked for all there is in them, and Ari- vaca will soon prove that it has not a second place among the mining sections of Arizona.

The Mesa School.

Work on the Mesa school building is still being pushed. The foundations are of stone and the walls of Lehi brick, three widths thick This Is the best brick, undoubtedly, yet made in Salt riv- CT valley. It costs $6.50 per thousand at the kiln, and $S.50 delivered in Mesa. Architects assured Mesa Cityites that two brick walls were amply substantial, but as Supervisor flakes remarked, parents up there are very fond of their 200 odd children and didn't care to have them run any risk. The new public school house will accommodate 225 pupils. The two old school houses will probably be torn down.
