Removal of she Custom House,

Removal of she Custom House.
 Wm, Heyn came up last night from HermOsillo and Guaymas where he had been on business. While in the former place he met FeuOchio, the chief of the customs service in north ern Sonora. He assured Mir. Heyn that the removal of the custom house from san Pedro to Frohteras was done without consultation with him, and that it was 8 move which would be detrimental to the service in Sonora as we'll as Arizona. He had no idea where the movement started or how the order to abandon was brought about. It came unexpectedly from the City of Mexico wi.h no explana- ton. He further stated that strong petition sent to the City of Mexico, signed by interested parties in Tomb stone and other points directly bene- fitted, would, he thought, bring the necessity of custom service in the vicinity of where it now Is, before the government in & favorable light. The merchants and mining men should at once take bold of this matter and act on this suggestion or else on January 1st they will find profitable source of revenue pulled away from their doors to other points more favorably situated to do business through From teras.

Getting Mixed.

The Algodonas grant lOcators, are both settled and unsettled. Some ol them are settled on the ground, and those who are settled on paper do not understand the situation. At this distance the PROsPECTOR cannot en- tighten them. The Yuma Times condescends to attempt an explanation which will only add another cloud to the vision. It says that about year ago the Yuma Pumping Irrigation Co. began fencing in portions of the grant and also the town blocks which lay before their ditch. By what right this was done was not stated. The tax title to the grant was in the hands of Dr. Cotter, and he offered to sell it to the company for $500, but they declined.
 In order to have some show of right to the ,grant, Sam Pur3y assigned to Harry Carpenter 2 claim of S1O,OOO for alleged services performed fo- the defunct Colorado land and commer- cial compauy. who years ago owned what til. there was to the Algodone s.ant. Carpenter immediately com menced suit and attached the grant. This raised breeze at once, as more than half the townsite of Yuma lies within the grant lines.
 Several other moves on the part of Y P Go also excited attention. Judge. E. M. Sanford, a member of the company, was appointed deputy attorney of the United States, before the U. s. Land Court, 50 it is said. It began to be believed that the company had deep laid scheme for getting the spurious Mexican title confirmed, and that they were amusing people to allay suspicion.

KILLED HIS PAL,
A Dastardlv Deed Committed
 in the Mule Mountains.


 from the scene of the murder of an unknown Mexican in the Mule noun tains. He summoned jury, viewed the body, after climbing almost im- passible places to get to the place where the body had been first found by the Mexican who brought Tn the news. When they reached the spot the body was gone, but fresh trail of something being dragged led them on for few hundred feet where they found pile of rocks, brush and dirt. They pulled the heap to pieces, and underneath found the murdered man. It was sickening sight, the body being torn and msngled by the rocks being thrown onto it,
 An examination showed that the victim had been shot through the forehead with large ball. The party returned to the spot where the Mexi- can had first seen the body, and there imbedded in log of wood was the bullet. which was taken out and pre- . served. The position of the dec' ed when shot must have been kpeelicg one as the bullet, which struck him il the forehead, came out between the ears and lodged in the wood a few feet away on the ground. The fore head was powder burned, showing that the weapon must have been close 10 it.
 There is no doubt but that the mur- derer feared that the body would be discovered, and hastened to go back to his victim and hide the body sec ond time, precaution, which had he taken in the first place, would have concealed all evidences of the horrible deed
 The evidence goes to show that the murder was committed ny the partner of the decease {, and that it was done to avold pa, ing the murdered man his share of the proceeds of their labor.
 The murdered man was known ss Refugio, and his partners name was Refugio Vernal. The latter was busi- ness manager and handled all the money and purchased the supplies, etc. They both came in town about ten days ago. They had contract from FIN. Wolcott to pack wood down from the mountains to the road MT. Wo!cott settled up with them and they went off to go to work again.
 The murdered man had told several friends that he was going back to Chi huahua as soon as he had a settlement but the indications are that Vernal has gone there himself, as all of the burros and camp outfit are missing, as we'll as the survivor of the firm.
 The country is being secured for the suspected murderer. The deed was committed on Saturday night, the body found on Sunday, and must have been dragged and buried on Monday, 60 that Vernal can not have very much the start of his pursuers. :.

MATTERS EDUCATIONAL.

Prof WOlcOtt, Vocal Teacher, to Sever
 His Connection With the Schools.
 The engagement of Prof c. w. Vol. colt as teacher of vocal music in the public schools will expire with the June term. At a recent meeting of the board of education it was decided not to em- ploy a music teacher for the coming year, but to devote the money to the employment of two special teachers in different branches. Sewing and manual training were two branches considered, but no definite action was taken. Prof Wolcott has been instructor in the pub lie schools for the past seven years and his work has been entirely satisfactory.
 The number of pupils received in the High school room from other rooms last year was very large, and next year will be still larger. Superintendent Crosby, in speaking to-day of the increase, said that two years from last April, judging from present indications, over 25O pupils will be promoted to his room.

A Hartford Hackman Catches Tartar
 From Waterbury.
 Last night, says the Hartford Courant, a Waterbury druggist struck town. As there were several places he wished to visit he employed hackman named Bracken. After they had driven to several places the hackman demanded his pay. The druggist gave him what he thought it was worth, but Bracken wanted Sl more. This he was unable to get, SD he drove the druggist to the police station. The druggist, however, did not seem to be d bit frightened by this and still refused to pay any more than he had already done. Their argu- ment was cut short by the lieutenant in forming Bracken that if he had any charge against the man he must make it and appear in court against him m the morning. and if he hadn't any that he must get out. Bracken. when he found that his blll was not going to be collected for him decided. that he hadn' t any charge and went off without either his man or his dollar.

APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSIONERS
Messrs Dunham and BurIeigh For New
 Haven County, Probably.

Mcssrs Dunham and BurIeigh For New
 Haven County, Probably.
 Section ,973 of the revised statutes provides as to county commissioners that "vacancies may be filled by the governor until Wednesday of the third week of the next regular session of the general assembly," The terms of the commissioners ending this year expire on the 1st of July, and Acting Governor Bulkeley will, on or before that date, make appointments to the sixteen vacancies occurring-two in each county. These appointees will hold office only until the latter part of Janu- ary, 1893. Had the legislature made the appointments, their commissions would run until 1895. Under the cir cumstances, the terms of all the mem- bers of the board in each county will ex- pire Tn Jannary, 1893, so that the legis- lature of that year will have full board of three to appoint in each county, making an aggregate of twenty four, instead of sixteen, as usual. It is understood that A. B. Dunham, of Sey- mour, and Cecil A. Burleigh, of Ham, den, whose terms expire in July, are the strongest men in the field in New Haven county. at present, and that the chances at this time favor their re appointment. However, other claim ants are expected to spring up before July 1.
