HOW DON WALTER ARROYO SET OUT FOR
THE UNITED STATES.


THE UNITED STATES.
He began at once series or furJlVe
excursions to the Barranca, finding many
different ways Of getting there. At one
time he would go by way Of Campo
Florido, as if setting out simply for
Cruce Vivo; again he started up from
the other side Of Las Delicias, and sue
ceeded in picking Il path over the almost
insuperable lava beds; and sometimes he
would fetch Il compass even us far away
as Rio Frio, il large town in another dis
t1'ict, where he pretended to sell some of
his horses or mules. From Rio Frio he
got access to the gorge by way of Lake
Jornada, a body Of water some fifteen
miles in it's longest dimension. There
was settlement at its lower end, with a

''Tell me all about it," he said, in
caressing way he had.
"Our property was in the hands Of
man who had been universally respected,
and he appropriated it to his own uses,

Her companion suddenly grew agitated

exclamation.

ton. ''He left universal wreck Banks,
corporations and private fortunes went
down under his touch. He was a fnan-
cial magnate whom everybody trusted,
and everybody that trusted lost.
"And what became of him?" asked Don
Walter, as with difficult utterance
What did he do with the money!
HE fed from the country, or, some
say, committed suicide. It was given
out that he did not keep much for him
self, but lost it all in his speculations;
believe that is the usual way. Oh, it was
very great affair, assure you, if there's
any comfort in that. Perhaps you may
have heard Of it even here. sometimes

as The Great Ridgefeld Defalcation'"
'Good God! no, not that?''
What is the matter?'
ITO tell the truth, perhaps have not
heard all that you have been saying.

"What will you do?" The role of Amy,
with her small experience, was evidently
to be hardly more than listener in the
discussion
"There are three plans. The first is to
acquire title to the place and regularly
work it as mine. 1t would not be
safe, under our various distracted gov
ernments, to do this. The second is to
associate a number of influential people
in the enterprise, pledge them to secrecy
and under their protection secure as
much of the valuable deposit as possible.

some singular fragments of yellow

At the view of these, some of his own

She gazed upon them and held them in
her fair hands with fascinated eyes.
Walter Arroyo began an account Of all
that had happened. He had two objects
in view, and it was apparently his pur
pose to Intervene them. His discov-
cry permitted him to plan for happi-
ness that had heretofore been hopelessly
beyond his reach.

All indications seemed to point to his

so chagrincd was she by her recent con-
duct, and fearful lest he should think
her forward, that she caught confusedly

versation from the subjects that might

This is, indeed, strange. There will

"How absurdly you choose to talk of

there were rolling in fabulous wealth.

Her remark was evidently not thrown

SOME of the newspapers of the Ter ritory have suggested the name of Colonel Herring, of this city, as a candidate on the Republican ticket for Delegate to Congress. While not being acquainted with the gentleman's wishes in the matter, the EP1TAPH Is free to say that, of all the gentlemen mentioned in that connection, 1t pre- iers Colonel Herring. He is a man eminent in his profession, has Terri torial reputation, there is no question concerning his ability, is an eloquent speaker, is not identified with any of the factions in the party, and if he should receive the nomination it Is our belief that he would defeat any man the Democratic party can put up.

LAST week the EPITAPH predicted that before long the Tucson Citizen would come out as an advocate of statehood. The prediction has been fulfilled sooner than was expected. This week that paper comes out squarely in favor of Arizona's adnis- sion as State The fact is also learned m conversation with some Of our prominent citizens who heretofore opposed the movement that they Have changed their mind, which shows that the drift of public opinion is setting strongly in that direction, and it i- safe to say that by the time the next election comes around the majority in favor of the proposition will be over whelnling.

WHEN the late tcmptest in teapot

WHEN the late temptest in teapot in Tombstone had come to boil and the result became known, it was gen orally presumed by large portion oi our citizens the matter was ended, and that1hose who had worked for -disin- corporation would accept the5situatlon and bend their energies to reducing, as far as possible, municipal expenses, which was what was substantially said by their organ to be their pur
 pose. But now this impression seems to be a mistake. Instead of trying to help matters along, and to do the bes' thing possible under the circumstances: bear and forbear, there appears to be q disposition on the part of some, to throw obstacles in the way of the oi- ficers elected to administer the affairs of the city. One day thiss week the City Tax Collector went to a promin
 ent business man 10 collect the usual license, and although he did not re- fuse to pay his license, ne refused 10 accept the receipt rendered, claiming that the signature of the Mayor had been placed thereon by means ot q rubber stamp, and therefore that the receipt was not legal; but the receipt bore the signature of the Auditor, in proper form, which shows that at least the receipt was genuine. As MT. Wiser says that he does not know whether the signature of the Mayor was made by rubber stamp or not, the question arises, how is 1t that the gentleman who refused to pay the license knows the signature to be a rubber stamp? Has he been informed of the fact by the Mayor? MT. Wiser says the signature on the licenses is
 the same as has been affixed to all re-
 ceipts since he took office, and tha
 this is the first time any objection has been made. This being the case, it looks as though an arrangement had been entered into by some to em- barrass the city government to the full extent of their ability to do so.
 This exhibition of pique is sincerely to be regretted, and we hope that they will reconsider their action, and at the next legislature. present a bill, less obnoxious than the one under the provisions of which it was sought to rcincorporate the city, providing. a more economical form of government.

ANOTHER statesman and leader of the Democratic party has joined the majority. Senator James B. Beck, of Kentucky, dropped dead at railroad depot in Washington as he was on his way home Senator Beck was native of Scotland, born February 13, 1922, and was therefore little over sixty eight years old. He received a class, ical education at Pennsylvania Uni versity, Kentucky, studied law and de- voted himself to its practice till 1867, when he was elected as a Representa- i've in Congress from Kentucky to the FOrtieth and three succeeding Con- gresses. He declined further nomina-
 ion to the Lower House. In 1877 he was elected to the Senate where he has served continuously ever since. Irrespective of politics, the Western States and Territories sincerely regret his death, he being an eloquent and outspoken friend of silver, and by his passing away the silver party loses a true friend and the country at large an illustIjops and valued citizen.

THE missionary efforts of the EPI- TAPH have again borne fruit. The Chinese cook at the hospital has been discharged and the county physician has made a report. Gentlemen of the Board of Supervisors, fl you had done this long ago it would have been much pleasanter for all parties concerned But although the EPITAPH comments your action in these two particulars, it rises to inquire why you still violate the law in regard to letting a contract for the care of the indigent sick? And also would like to know why you do not, in at least one instance, hold contractors to the fulfillment of their contracts? What show has an honest bidder 10 get contract when his com peiitor has tacit understanding, as proven by the bills allowed. that he will be allowed to charge what he pleases, regardless of the figures named in the bid?
