 A man was run over and killed on the Atlantic & Pacific near Navajo Springs, one day last week. We were unable to learn his name.
 Ygnacio Bazan, deputy sheriff at Springerville, brought in Nick Fisher last Saturday, who is charged with felony, in having defaced brand on a COW. His bail was fixed at $500, which was promptly given, and he returned home on Monday morning.
 If Sheriff Creaghe and his deputies keep up their lick for short while, there will be ample business for an April term of court at this place. There are in confinement and under bonds, seven persons charged with criminal ofenses.
 Snow began falling last Sunday night at about half past eight, and on Monday morning there was about four inches of it lying on the ground on a level. This Is the first snow of the season to amount to anything, and will be of great benefit to the country, fill ing up water holes at distance from streams, thereby enabling cattle to go where there is plenty of good grass, and putting the ground in better con dition for blowing next spring.
 Sheriff Creaghe, while in the north western part of the country on busi- ness, met Jim Lee, who is wanted in Yavapai county, for assisting in the escape of the Canyon Diablo train rob- hQTl nI11 ffi elk T.. in custody and turned him over to Deputy Sheriff Black of Yavapai, at Flagstaff. We understand there is a reward offeredIby the railroad company and Wells, Fargo & Co.,, of $1 900 fol the capture of Bill and Jim Lee.
 D. w. Savage, deputy sheriff at Show Low, returned from Salt river last Fri day, having in charge one Hirscher who is charged with stealing horse. from Robt. Scott, one of the larges sheep owners in the county. MT. Say age was fortunate in catching his man as he had heard of his indictment anC had started to leave the country. H, lost one of his pack animals, however and was compelled to return for an other, the officer arriving just in tim, to catch him.
 By private letter from Judge D. Baldwin, who is the attorney for thi county before the supreme court o the United States in the tax sui against the Atlantic & Pacific raiiroa company, we learn that it is highl probable the case will be advanced ol the docket and will be called some tim during the present month. The ds clslon in this case will virtually settl all other suits this county has agains the Atlantic & Pacific company, an will determine as to it's liability t taxation for all time to come. .Judg l Baldwin's petition for the advancement r of the case is a logical and forcibl f document, and backed, as it is, by tn
 affidavit of all the county officials, ca
 scarcely fail to accomplish the desire
 end.
 7 Having known Sammy Hughes fc : the past eighteen years, the writer ca : truthfully testify to the fact that g is neither 8 crank nor kicker; nor g he chronic office hunter or holde s nor is he a plunderer of the public,
 are some of his detractors. What the s is Sam Hughes? Simply good pa r riotic citizen of the territory; one tn '. has paid his taxes without a murmu n that has voted in local matters accor | ing to the dictates of his best jud l, ment; one whose sole object and al n in the past, as it is at the present tim : is the building up of the territory; o1 g who desires patriotic and honest a t ministration of public affairs; ar ;. withal, one who entertains just ar d righteous contempt for all demagogue d high or low. This is Sam Hughe h and the territory is the better for u ], possession of such citizen, for of sut l. comes good government.
