. pEruonAnlr SHOOTING ArrxAy.

Profound regret is felt in this commit
 nity overthe tragedy of Tuesday last, in
 which D. X, Reynolds was shot and
 instantly killed by Alex Graydon, in
 the office of the latter, on Broad street,
 Globe. There was no eye witness to the shooting, and Mir. Graydon's state
 ment Is the only direct testimony.
 However. considerable evidence, throw ing light on the affair, was collected and presented to the coroner's jury and grand jury.
 Reynolds, who was, as n rule, a peaceable and pleasan: man, was quar- relsome when in liquor. He had been imbibing freely for several days pre- vious to the shooting, had quarreled with several persons, but his animosity seemed to be directed chiefly against Graydon, and it Is alleged that he said he would "fix" Graydon, and made other threats of like tenor He went into Greydon's corral and office several times and endeavored to provoke a quarrel, in which he finally succeeded, and as Q result was killed Reynolds was shot four times, once in the head, twice ip the body and once through the left arm. The deceased leaves wife and three small children, for whom much sympathy is felt Mrs Reynolds, who is in poor health and was absent in Tucson, was telegrapned to come home, and is expected back to-day.
 The coroner's jury empaneled by Justice $. A. Lowe, and composed of $. C. Heineman, d. Grogan, c. E. Fin ley, A. c. Carter and W. Treyilhan, after due inquiry, rendered verdict of jusbfiable homicide. Notwithstand- ing the findings of the coroner's jury, the case was presented to the grand jury, as was proper it should be, in or der that the investigation might be and set at rest the question of the defendants guilt or innocence. After probing the matter thoroughly, nearly the whole of Friday being con smed in hearing testimony, the grand jury failed to find bill against Gray don, and so reported to the court at 9 o'clock this morning, and the accused was discharged from arrest

am candidate for the office of Sheriff of your county, and in order to iujure me, or defeat me for said office, certain parties have taken it upon them selves to circulate n report that as Sheriff, two years ago, I fniled 10 do my duty in the Moses Wertman murder case. In this, that I would do nothing until money was raised to pay me 10 work up the case. Now to show yon how unjust and false such charges are will give you short and plain state- ment of the facts
 A good and quiet old man by the name ol M. Wahlan, living at or near the Wheatields, in this county. was foully murdered, and suspicion pointed directly to Mir Moses Wertman as the murderer. Steps were at once taken by the Sheriff to arrest him, and fol lowed up until he was placed in Gila county jail Tie citizens of the county acquainted with the killing were terri ply indignant, and in order to assist justice and punish the murderer, who- ever he or she might be, raised by con tribution the sum of $20650 to pay such extra charges or expenses es the Sheriff might incur in hunting for and bringing the murderer to justice. This money was placed in the Sheriif's hands and entered in his books as the ''Citi- zens' Fund" and was judiciously and honestly expended by him for the pur- pose intended. For these facts I refer you to the books aud to Dr. 5. c. Heineman and E. H. Cook. The mon ey was disbursed as follows:

REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING.


 Hon. Geo. W. Cheyney, Republican candidate for delegate to Congress, and Judge W. r. Nichols, for Joint Coun- cilman, Southern District were accord ed a hospitable reception by the people of Globe on Saturday evening last, The gentlemen arrived late after q fatiguing days ride from Fort Thomas, but, nevertheless, cheerfully acqui- esced in the arrangements which had i been made by the local Central Com mittee for public meeting at the Court Houso. The court room was | filled by large audience, among whom were d number of ladies' Thos. A. ! pascoe, Chairman of the Central Com mittee called the meeting to order, and upon motion J. c. Jones was made Chairman, and J. II. Hamill, Secretary.
 MT Cheyney in his tall--he laid nc claim to orhtory--dwelt mainly upon the hospital bill (enacted by the last legislature and which his political ops ponents have endeayored to make an issue against him, Mormonism, and the silver question. Of his opponent, Hon. Mark smith, he said little, except that Mark had been instrumental in having  but four bills passed by Congress, and that what he had accomplished during four years in Congress was not suth- cient to warrant his return to Washing ton for third term. A point made by Mr. Cheyney, and which was success fully used by Mir. Smith four years ago against C. c. Bean, is the advantage to be expected by the Territory from hay ing q delegate in harmony with the Administration at Washington.
 Mir, Cheyney explained satisfactorily that he was no more responsible for the passage of the hospital bill than any other member of the legislature either Republican or Democrat Of Mormon- ism he said it was question with which the people of the Territory would have to grapple sooner or Inter, and that if elections were to be decided by small minority (ihe Mormons) then there was no need to hold them, but have President Woodruff name our officers.
 The speaker said he had long been identified with silver mining in Cochise county, and was vitally interested in its prosperity, and if elected would do Ill he could for the mining industry. At the conclusion of Mir Cheyney's re marks which were well received, Chair man Jones introduced W. F. Nichols
 The Republican candidate for Joint Councilman spoke briefly but his lan- guaga was forcible and well chosen His plea was chiefly for the election of Mr Gheyney to Congress. Of his own candidacy he said but little. except that if elected he would do his utmost for the interests of the several counties forming the Southern District. Mr. Nichols created a decidedly favorable impression on the audience.

Of the effect of the silver bill on the silver mining industry, F, O. Leech Director of the Mint who has returned to Washington from visit to the West says: As to the prospects of silver mining and the current production of our mines, should say that the silver product of the United States Is increas- ing Certainly there is great activity in all the mining camps which l visited, and when one considers that only short time ago they were getting only 9G cents m ounce for silver and g. cents a pound for lead, while today silver is worth Si 10 en ounce and lead { cents a pound, ii is not surprising that there should be great activity in mining industries and that the output should be increased"

DEuotRAr,t nalLY.

It can be truly said that Hon. Mar GUS A. Smith never received a warmer welcome or assurance of hearty sup port in his canvass for delegate to Con- gross than was given him by the Dem ocrats of Globe and Gila county on Thursday last. A committee met him on the road, and escorted him to town, and the afternoon was spent ir renew- ing old acquaintances and making new ones. The meeting at the Rink in the evening was one of the largest political gatherings ever assembled in Globe, and the audience listened to Mr Smiths address with marked attention and evident pleasure.
 Dr. Alex. Trippel called the meeting to order and was made Chairman for the evening, and Henry c, Robertson, Secretary, Mr, Smith upon being presented to the audience thanked them for the generous welcome accord ed him and asked their indulgence for whatever he might say that appeared eulogistic of himself, or egotistieal. The speaker then explained the obsta- clcs encountered by delegate in se- curing recognition or any favorable leg islation from Congress for the Terri tory which he represents. Mir. smith recounted at considerable length what he had done for his constituents while in Congress, chiefly his oppo- sition to a land court and the return of Geronimo and tribe to Fort Sill, of his securing a reduction of the price to settlers of lands within the old Texas Pacific land grant, passage of bill by the Senate giving Federal fourth Judge 10 Arizona, securing right of wry for several canals, railroads, and other measures too numerous to mention. Mark then spoke of his opponent in a sarcastic way, and charged Mir. Chey- ney with the responsibility of the pas sage of the hospital bill, which has long since been punctued and cannot be mnde an issue against the Republican candidate
 Mir. Smith Gniudiciously, we think touched upon the statehood question, and gave what he considered sufficient reasons for Arizona assuming the incrcas, ed responsibilities and financial bur. dens of self government From poll. tician's standpoint statehood is desir' able, but the argument does not com. mend itself to the thoughtful citizen and taxpayer.
 Mir Smith spoke of other matters. which we have not space to mention He is possessed of good oratorical pow CTS, well modulated voice, and is withal, a plausable and entertaining talker.
 MT. P. c. Robertson, of Catalpa followed MT. Smith, with brief ad dress, ill which he pledged his adher ence to the principles of the Demo cratic party He commented unfavor ably upon the action of Gila County representative in the council of the las legislature, in voting for the hospita bill, and compared the ability as speak CTS of Mir. Peter and Mir. Curtis, op posing candidates for the council, an( his remarks, as matter of course, were decidedly favorable to the Democratic candidate.
 The hall was handsomely decorated with flags and bunting, and n string band furnished excellent music. At tho conclusion of the speaking the floor wa cleared and dancing inaugurated. I was q pleasant and appropriate endint of very successful meeting.

 Judge J. II. Kibbey and court stem ogrepher, ". l.. Pinney arrived from Florence on Monday. and court was convened immediately thereafter. The business of the court has dragged, ow- ing to the protracted deliberations of the grand jury, and the fact that de- fendants in criminal cases, have availed themselves of the statutory time in which to plead In view of these de- tentious, annoying to the Judge, jury men and witnesses alike, and which necessitute the continuance of many cases from term to term, Judge Kibbey favors holding quarterly terms of court which would obviate much of the trouble. Cases would then seldom re- main on the docket longer than three months before being disposed of. The Judge believes that the cost to the county would be no greater than at pres ent with semi-annual terms,
