Murders in Arizona.

Fort Thomas, Ariz., Aug. 2.-A triple murder took place near Fort Grant, resulting first in the shoot ing of J. w. Cress by William Rob- erts of Bonita. Both men live in same community and have done so for some years, but owing to their different vacations have not been on very amiable terms for some time. Roberts is the constable of his district and also runs small store and a saloon, while his victim, Cress, conducted dance house of the lowest order, which the colored soldiers of Fort Grant, who mainly maintain ed the institution proper ly named "The Hook"
 Colored women of the most mo- torious character there held forth and on and about pay day for the fort, which occurs monthly, they hold high carnival, quite frequently resulting in the killing of one or more of the nations defenders.
 Outside of this business Cress had quite number of cattle and horses, and from his various sources had snug little income. The affair through which he lost his life was dipute over some land which both parties claimed and wanted to fence, resulting as above stated. He died few hours later and Roberts is now under arrest.
 The same day colored ex-sol- dier named Frank Nelson cruelty murdered his mistress, Sarah Me- Charris, and her 3-year-old child, presumably through jealousy. Me- Charris, the husband of the unfor- tunate woman, is soldier belong ing to troop H, Tenth cavalry, now stationed at Fort Apache.

sectarianism is maintained in the public schools of Apache county cannot be substantiated, and itis equally untruthful that the Mormon church dictates in politics-that po- Iygamy is encouraged and the pub lie schools taught by Saints. We regret this cruel, unprovoked and libelous attack upon our county from a journal published in the Territory, but our readers can rest assured that such shafts of m9lig- nity can never reach the marks for which they were intended. Weak indeed is any party or policy and powerless for harm, which must seek to sustain itself by the publi- cation of so unjust and virulent an article as the Republican editorial, prompted in St. Johns and written in Phoenix.

A Killing in CarbO.

Wednesday was St. Carmen's day and it was celebrated at Carbo with feast of fight and debauchery and a flow of mezcal and blood. About half the town was on ajamboree and fights were more plentiful than coy otes in the suburbs.
 At a house where a baile was in progress a number of, Mexicans and Yaquis got into drunken brawl and Carmen Salazar who was cele- brating his Saints day with a good deal more enthusiasm than sense fourished a knife and an old pistol with dangerous disregard of safe ty that provoked official interfer- ence, When Policeman Martinez demanded a cessation of hostilities Salazar undertook to carve his ini- tials on the official cheek in way that called for heroic measures of defence. The policeman opened fire on him and killed him instant ly. The killing of Salazar added another feature of interest to the occasion and the maudlin shouts of the hilarious mingled inhar- moniously with the walls of sadness that came from the wife and other relatives of the dead man.
 The policeman was exOnerated but two or three of the parties who
The St. Johns herald., 1890-08-07

proved they were only bad scalp wounds. It seems almost impossible that the bullet could have penetra- ted under the scalp where it did and not have fractured the skull, but such was the case.
 He said that as near as he could tell there were four of the holdups. He was sitting on his seat looking out the cab window when the train slowed up.
 There were three men on his side of the engine, and when the first shot was fired at the engineer, two of them commenced firing at him. The first ball was the one that struck him and he was knocked off his seat and into the cab floor. He got up again but the second he showed his head at the window they commenced shooting again and he had to get down in the cab where they could not see him. He could not describe how they were dressed but sad the last man who shot at him tripped and fell back wards into the brush. He seemed to have long black cloak wrapped about him.
 The engineer, MT. Hall said, re- ceived the wounds in his hand while grasping the barrel oi the re- volver which the robber had point ed at him, and he was trying to get hold of the throttle at the same time with his right hand.
 At 4 o'clock the hounds came in and went direct to the Kreeger building on West First street. In this building was a man named Tom Higgins and another man who was suspected of being impli- cated in the holdup. Some of the reasons for this belief are: Higgins and the other man were met at Finch's stable about ? :00 a. m., by Sheriff Murphy, who arrested them afterwards. They had evidently been out in the rain and had trav- eled some distance. They had on dark suits throughout, and their clothes were old. Higgins is one of the neatest characters in the city and always wears a white shirt. The men went directly to their rooms and changed their clothing. Higgins had fresh wound on his forehead from which the blood had hardly stopped flowing.

ty Sheriff J. R. Smith, and inform ed that he had "lot of fresh meat" over at his house, which he wished Smith to take care of. The deputy could not quite understand the meaning of this statement, at first but proceeded with Granada to his home, and found the wife and daughter lying on the ground, mu- tilated, and covered with dirt and blood. Smith asked Granada why he had committed the deed, and he answered. Because they are mine. "
 This was the only reason obtain able from the murderer. The en- ragged citizens of Morenci, however, had meanwhile head of the tragedy, and assembled for the purpose of lynchlng Granada. Deputy Smith hurried hls prisoner away, and suc- ceeded in safety putting him behind the Clifton jail bars. He would have certainly been lynched had the Morenci people the opportuni- ty to do so. Being further ques- toned by Deputy Solomon as. to his motive in killing his family Granada stated that he had com mitted the deed in accordance with his ''ascribed duties of family life. !" There is little doubt that the mur- derer is insane. His cool, uncon- cerned demeanor, when questioned about the horrible affair, would in- dicate that he does not realize the atrocity of the crime he has committed. He is either insane, or one of the most hardened human brutes living.-Citizen.

Horrible Murder.

One of the most atrocious mur- ders ever committed in Arizona, occurred at Morenci, Gila County, on the 14th inst. Antonio Granada
 living at Morenci, had just been re- conciled to his wife and daughter, from whom had been separated for over five years. The family have been living together just four days, when Granada called on the Depu-

A SPECIAL from Washington says it is again rumored that Minister Lincoln has finally resolved to re- tire from the English mission. Mrs. Lincoln will leave London for her home in Chicago early next month, and her husband will follow her in November. It is understood he will not return to England, but will re- sume malpractice of his profession in Chicago. It is said that the Presidents advisers have suggested to him the name of Chauncey M. Depew for the post.

UNDER the head of ''Mormonism and Public Schools" a leading edi- torial in a recent issue of the Ari- zona Republican, published at Phoenix, reflects upon the manage ment of public schools in commun- ities where the Mormon element predominates, and does great in- justice to the people of Apache county. Statements are made which are at variance with truth and fla grantly false. The article is disin- genuous and unkind-prompted by malevolence and vindictiveness, ,and eyinces the animus of the writer against a large class of our citizens. In view of the fact that the Repub- lican has but recently been ushered into existence, and that it's edito- rial staff are comparative strangers in the Territory and unknown to the people of this county, it would be surprising how knowingly it deals with the educational interests of Apache, and how solicitous it is that our schools should be free from the taint of sectarianism, if it were not apparent that the article in question was conceived, if not brought forth, in St. Johns. Some of the statements made therein, we have heard before-uttered by the same lips and written by the same pen-and are rehashed for the de- lectation of the Republicans read CTS and for the purpose of malign- ing the fair name of our people and gratifying the spite of a sordid na- ture. The real authorship o1 the article is as we'll known to many of our readers as if he had signed his name in capital letters. Apache county until the present year has been successful in preventing the Mormons from handling the public schools" says the informant of the Republican. Pray what has hap pened ill this year of grace 1890 to bring about a new order of things and transfer the sceptre of our edu- cational interests to the Mormons?
 At the last general election John T. Lesueur was elected Probate Judge and ex-oficio Superinten- dent of Schools by large majori- ty, in the face of a most determined opposition. He neither sought nor desired the position he holds or any office, and indeed reluctantly con- scented to become candidate at the earnest solicitation of large "gen-
 tile" element, who knew his ability and appreciated his worth, for he had held official positions before, and discharged his official duties in every instance, with honesty, earnestness and fidelity and where ever tried had been found trust worthy.
