The uolbrook Killing.

On Tuesday morning of last week at about o'clock, Roman Lopez and Rafael Chaves, two wealthy sheep raisers from Concho, were killed by Joseph Crawford and W. c. Bell. The aifray took place in Pickett's sa- loon. Lopez and Chaves had the day previous disposed of large quantity of wool, and with other Mexicans were making night of it. The trouble arose over a game of monte and during the TOW Crawford and Bell were pretty roughly handled by the Mexicans and were getting the worst of the fight when Crawford drew his pistol and killed two of his antagonists, Lopez and Chaves. The rest beat a nasty Ie- treat After the shooting Crawford and Bell mounted their horses and rode off. At the coroners inquest it was developed that Crawford did the shoCt- ing and that Bell had only a hand in the general TOW. Crawford is well known by all stockmen and was in the employ of W. c. Hill of Springer, N. NJ. Bell has for the past year been at work for the Aztec company. A war rant has been issued for the arrest of Crawford. He has been seen in com pany with Bell since the shooting in the neighborhood of Winslow. His capture is considered doubtful although every effort is being made to get him.
 Roman Lopez and Rafael Chaves were prominent among the Mexican population and were well and favorably known in Apache county. The citizens of Holbrook regret the unfortunate affair although none of the parties con- cerned in the affray were residents of that place.

TIE commissioner of Indian affairs recommends the abolishing of reserva- tions. In his annual report he says: Whatever right and title the Indians have in them is subject to and must yield to the demands of civilization. They should be protected in the per- manent possession of all this land that is necessary to their own support, and whatever is ceded by them should be paid for at its full market value. But it cannot be expected under any cir cumstances that these reservations can remain intact, hindering the progress of civilization, requiring an army to protect them from the encroachments of home seekers, and maintaining a perpetual abode ofsavagery and animal ismn n

Has Not Resigned.

Deputy U. s. Marshal George E. Brown, whose field is northern Arizona, spent an hour in Flagstaff on Tuesday. MT. Brown has been on trip through southern Arizona and through Old Mexico. He is now on his way to his home in Prescott. W. S. Gray, who was here about two weeks ago stated that he had been appointed deputy for Arizona and that MT. Brown had re- signed. The CoCoNINo SUN gave the statement due credence and so gave the matter publicity. Mir. Brown states that he has not resigned, but will still continue to act as deputy in northern Arizona. The many friends of Mir. Brown iu northern Arizona will be glad to know that he will remain in his present position.

THE ARIZONA BUSINESS DIREC'
 TORY.

The necessity of business direc- tory of Arizona is apparent to all, one containing the name and address of every person engaged in business in the territory, the post offices, express offices, brief decription of each town and camp, with map of the territory. Such book would be of great value to every merchant and professional man in Arizona. Messrs. Funston x Smart, of this place, have commenced the compilation of directory, which they propose to make complete, concise and reliable. Solicitors for subscription and advertisements are now at work, and they will travel throughout the territory, commencing with the citi- zens of Flagstaff.

This is a remarkable passage even for the 'Ieutonic,'' at d period of the year which has been excessively stormy, though it should be considered that possibly the recent powerful westerly gales helped her forward more than the opposing gales retarded her.
 She took the northern route which is the shortest, and the cyclones and gales are of shorter duration, than in the southern and longer route.

 Dispatches were received at London yesterday from Japan announcing that the telegraph wires beyond Hiogo and Osaka were down. It was added that there had been an earthquake at Hiogo, and the rumorwas current that great amount of property had been destroyed, and that the loss of life had been considerable.
 Hiogo is seaport town on the is- land of Hondo, and is about twenty two miles from Osaka and is adjacent to Kobe. It is lighted with gas and has number of fine buildings, includ- ing a townSall, Custom House, and GovernmcntNnachine shops. The sea- port referred to has an extensive for eign and coastwise trade, and popu- lation in 1884 of about LOGO souls.
 A private telegram dated Hiogo re- ceived in this city last night confirms the report conveyed in former tele- grams, that a disastrous earthquake shock has occurred in Japan. This telegram says that severe shock was felt at Osaka, and that the destruction of both life and property was very great. So severe was the shock that number of houses were thrown to the ground, and many of the occupants were caught in the falling buildings and crushed to death. A large num- Der of persons succeeded in escaping from their tottering homes, only tc meet death in the streets, to which they had filed for safety from the falling debris.

STATEHOOD.

While voting on the constitution the people should be allowed the privilege of expressing their views as to whether or not they are in favor of statehood. Voters who are in favor of Arizona as a state will feel delicacy in voting for or against the constitution. We think that there should be two tickets in the field; one for or against the constitu- tion, and one for or against statehood. -Citizel.
 The information comes from resi- dent of Tucson who claims to know the facts, that the Calabasas Water Storage Company does not intend to construct t reservoir: that is if the constitution is adopted they will se- cure property rights that will enable them to float their scheme in the Eng fish market at big figures. Judge Barnes is interested in that corpora tion. and his advocacy of the water article of the constitution is doubtless sincere.-Enterprise.
 The clap-trap that if the constitu- tion is not ratified the admission of Arizona will be delayed five years is altogether too thin. New Mexico re- jected a constitution last year and it is now reported that the president in his message to congress will recommend that steps be taken for its admission. The rejection of the constitution has not delayed the admission of that Ter ritory single day. There iso thing that is as sure as the advance of time, and that is Arizona will never be ad- mitted into the Union with its pres ent unjust constitution, even though it receives the approval of the people at the pollt. The interested parties try ing to control all the water supply are the only enemies to statehood.-En- terprise.
 Late news from the capital city, (which is enormously inscribed on Territorialmaps as PhGniX,) announces caucus ofdemocraticb bosses who think and act as though the party of the Ter ritOry was bOnnd to become corn to their mill, but as their mill is and over- shot, built on spring branch, they will be long in discovering that the power is wholly inadequate to run the machinery of the party of the Terri. tory. They are credited with having entered Mark Smith, of Tombstone, and Dr. H. A. Hughes, of Phoenix, as senatorial candidares in the event ot Arizona becoming State. In this they seem to have overlooked the fact that there is a central and northern Arizona likely to claim representation, in that fog bank, the Senate, and which. consequently, will not look with favor upon the action of bosses at the capital. They, however, are little premature in expressing preference. It would have been better for them to hay, bottled and corked their choce of candi dates until Arizona becomes d State.- Globe Silver Belt.

The Horse Rrace.

The horse race on Saturday last drew a large crowd. The race was between D. F. Stanlield's sorrel horse, "Fox' and Hiram Smiths black, known as tn, Utah horse. The owners of the fa stock are stockmen living in the south ern part of the county, and the race was for fifty head of cattle on each side. The race has been on for some time and the cowboys in that section were interested and had bet theil years earning on the result. The sor. rel horse was the favorite from the start and the day of the race two to one bets were offered on the favorite. The race was over a quarter mile track in the field south of town and the sor- rel horse was an easy winner, beating the black by fifty feet. It is said that about two thousand changed hands on the race.

ADeer that Gets Drunk.

A citizen of Winslow owns pet deer that has the run of the town. Dick as he is called, is a general favorite, and is at liberty to enter any Jf the places of business. Dicks fav- )rite resort, however, is in the saloons, where he will drink the contents of the vessel that catches the drippings from the beer keg, and will sometimes take something stronger, but his favorite beverage is beer and when he gets his lose into a beer glass he never takes t out until the cupis drained. "Dick' loes not often get under the influence )f tanglefoot when he confines him. self to his favOrite tipple, but on sev- sral occasions he has been induced to nix his drinks. The antics indulged n are not unlike those af the average human brute who takes q first class jag" on. Dicks appetite for his new ,ound beverage is on the increase and is feared that he will go the demni- ion bow-wows with fearful rapidity. At present he is fat and sleek and his ags have no appreciablc effect on him.

There are no means at present ot es- timating the total loss of life. In fact the details of the catastrophe are very meagre, as all the telegraph wires in the districts affected were broken by the falling of poles, which were thrown down by the seismic disturbance. The above mentioned private dispatch, however, says that it is known that in Osaka alone, the death list contains the names of 300 residents of the city.

NEW YORK LETTER.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 1891,

I Special Correspondence.
 There was q new train, called the Empire State Express started on the New York Central R. R., on Monday, and it is undoubtedly the fastest train on earth. Itmade q record of it's first trip to Buffalo, which puts it in the lead of all fast trains.
 It left the Grand Central Depot on Monday at 9:0l. It thundered through tunnels and dashed over bridges, and finally came to stand in Buffalo, having run the distance of 40 miles in eight hours, thirty-nine and half minutes, half a minute faster than the schedule called for, This is an average of 52-B miles an hour.
 This achievement is all the more wonderful when the weight of the train is considered. The engines and cars weighed total of 2SS tons, nearly 100 tons more than the famous flying Scotchman, which maintains an aver age of 5l :6-10 miles an hour between London and Edinburgh distance oi 400 miles. At one point between Batavai and Buffalo, speed of 70 miles an hour was reached. There was no jar, no violent swaying from side to side, no swinging of the wheels from the rails on sharp curves. But the train seemed to glide along, as il it were running over a sea of oil, ol flying through the air.
 The train is intended as an accom- modation between New York, Albany Syracuse and Buffalo, but later on, il it is a success, it will probably be TUT to Chicago, and another train made up running East at the same time.

A big haul of green goods litera- ture was made here the other day. A regular printing establishment was found, besides over 50,00O printed cir culars. 10000 of which were in en- velopes, addressed and stamped ready for delivery. The majority of the in- tended victims are residents of Canada. In several cities where the "green goodn men had branch offices, the de- tectives also secured books containing the names of thousands of business men. Another book contained the names of men with whom correspond- ence had been opened, or closed, as opposite the names stood letters and numbers used in cipher dispatches. There were also many railway and postoflice guides and circulars printed in French In addition to piles of paper used as green goods files !proWn paper with greenish edges) the detee- tives came upon q complete outfit for opium smoking.

 Passengers on the Seventh Avenue surface line in this city have com plained for long time of the reckless manner in which drivers guide their cars around sharp curves at the lower part of the road. A singular accident sent John Dowell, one of the Company's s drivers to St. Vinccnts hospital on Saturday night, with horribly gashed skull and many bruises.
 On that evening the car which Dow ell was driving turned the curve at Sullivan and Third streets, so rapidly, that Dowell was thrown from the plat form and dragged under the wheels. The conductor who saw Dowell thrown, got off the car, and when he saw the driver lying under it, he tainted.
 A gentleman who was in the car at the time said, Il felt a jar and saw the conductor leave the car, and when alighted a moment afterwards there was a horrible sight--the driver under the front wheels covered with blood, and the conductor, who fainted lying beside him.
 The house surgeon at St. Vincent's hos pital said that Dowell had wonderful escape. The wheel evidently passed over his head, and the marks of tho flange of the wheel were plainly visi ble on his skull. The man was sent home not fatally but seriously hurt.

Wall Street has come to the conclu- sion that there will not be a revival ot public interest in the stock market un- til after the elections. In consequence, the professional element, which at the moment is the most important aggres- i've force in the market, sells stocks and endeavors to persuade speculative holders to abandon their holdings. The only argument the bears can ad- duce in their favor is the apathy of the public. That important contingent was evidently frightened away by the passing of the Missouri Pacitic's divi- dend. but in time the effect of that event will probably wear away In the meantime the advocates ot lower prices are making all the capital they can of minor untoward events. The latest of these, the complications grow ing out of the tragic termination ot the career of q prominent Boston oper- ator, is being perniciously magniiied.
