FOUND ON THE DESERT.
A Strange Winged Monster Discovered and Killed on the Huachuca
 

A winged monster, resembling a huge alligator with an ex- tremely elongated tail and an immense pair of wings, was found on the desert between the Whetstone and Huachuca mountains last Sunday by two ranch CTS who were returning from the Hua- chucas. The creature was evidently exhausted by long flight and when discovered was able to fly but short distance at time. After the first shock of wild amazement had passed, the two men, who were on horseback and armed with Winchester rifles, re- gained sufficient courage to pursue the monster, and after an exciting chase of several miles, succeeded In getting near enough to open fire with their rifles and wounding it. The creature then turned on the men, but owing 10 its exhausted condition they were able to keep out of its way and after few well directed shots the mon- ster partly rolled over and remained mOtionless. The men cautiously, approached, their horses snorting with terror, and found that the creature was dead. They then proceeded to make an examination and found that it measured ninety-two feet in length and the greatest diameter was about fifty inches. The monster had only two feet, these being situated short distance in front of where the wings were joined to the body. The head as near as they could judge was about eight feet long, the jaws being set with strong, sharp teeth. It eyes were as large as dinner plate and protruded about half way from the head. They had some difficulty in measuring the wings as they were partly folded un- der the body, but finally got one strengthened out sufficiently to get a measurement of seventyeight feet, making the total length from tip to tip about 160 feet. The wings were composed of thick and nearly trans parent membrane and were devoid of feathers or hair, as was the entire body. The skin of the body was com paratively smooth and easily penetrat- ed by bullet. The men cut of small portion of the tip of one wing and took it home with them. Late last night one of the men arrived in this city for supplies and to make the necessary preparations to skin the creature, when the hide will be sent east for examination by the eminent scientists of the day. The finder return ed early this morning accompanied by several prominent men, who will en- deayor to bring the strange creature to this city before 1t is mutilated.- The Epitaph Liar.

Those Chinam-n.

A Guaymas correspondent of the Herald writing under the date of Fri day says:
 Regarding Chinamen, the 87 that came in transit on the Oceanic from China, arriving April 10 in San Fran cisco and on the 12th transferred to the Panama steamer, City of Sidney, for Mazatlan, came here on the Mexi- can steamer Alejandro. Thirty odd Of them return on the Alejandro. The steamer is going to San Diego for repairs this voyage and will touch at Ensenada where these Chinamen pro- pose to land to go-as one of the boss es says-to the mines at Alamo, south of Ensenada. The balance will remain here and go into the interior, except ing some few who will be employed here in the shoe factories. No doubt some of them will try and get over the border. Some of these Chinamen have been in the mines of California and Australia and they say that they are to get $2 per day as workmen for the Chinese Mining Co. at Alamo. The Alejandro leaves Saturday for her voyage to San Diego, touching at in- termediate ports.-Nogales Herald.

The Country Press. FT C:A: I

It Is habit with citizens of small towns to belittle their local paper, and no doubt the people of this city occas ionally indulge in this innocent pas time; but did 1t ever occur to them that local paper is just about what the citizens of the town make it. A newspaper is far reflex of the intel ligence and thrift of town. There is no class of people who understand the public pulse as well AS editors, for they hear both sides, or all sides of al- most every question that arises in community, and are thereby enabled to sift the chaff from the wheat. When you belittle your home paper you be- little your town and yourself, for you are in a measure responsible for what your home paper may be. Bear in mind that small towns usually have small papers, small lawyers, and small doctors as well as small preachers. It is true that these small towns some times produce great men, but they do not usually tarry long. They go where their talents are better appreci- ated and command higher price,
 Scores of men of ability have sprung up through the country, but it was only through the assistance they de- rived from larger fields and better pay from larger towns and cities, that they have been able to prove to the world their superior ability.
 We are not finding fault with the ways of our people more than we are finding fault with the ways of the peo- pie in other towns, for they are the same the world over But it is seri- ous fault that exists, and should be corrected. The support you give your local paper is not charitable one, but pays as well and better than any investment you can make
 The dailies of Tucson will compare more than favorably with those of any other town on the Pacific coast, with an equal population Supposing we say of one of our professional men, 70, he is only country doctor", or Che is only rural lawyer" we would get ourselves disliked very much in- deed. We are inclined to follow the precepts of the old adage which says, "1 you have nothing good to say about your neighhor you had better say nothing about him."
 The Twenty-four Cattle Company passed through Springerville, Sunday, on their way to Magdalena, New Mex ico, with about 800 head of as fine beef cattle as ever left the ranges of this section.
