Southern Arizona Shooting.

Tucson, June IA Frenchman named Deez who lived alone four miles above Mammoth on the San Pedro river, found two men, a Ger man and Mexican, chopping wood upon an unfenced portion of his ranch. and ordered them off. The two wood choppers started away but returned in a short time. Deez, hearingthe soundofthe ax comeback to the men and remonstrated with them, bringing his shot gun. It is supposed the Mexican made some demonstration with his ax although the German says not, but shot the Mexican in the left side of the head. The Mexican was brought to Mann moth, where he lay barely alive at last accounts. Dept. Sheriff Birch field, with a posse, is in pursuit of the Frenchman who it is supposed fled to the mountains.

Fatal Shot.

The headquarters ranch of the San Simon Cattle Company was the scene of a shooting affair on Friday of last week, which re- suited in the death of Richard Stratton, 6 brother of Geo. w. Stratton, manager for that compa- ny. Particulars of the affair are hard to get, but as near as we can learn the difficulty arose over the ownership of a certain piece ofland clalmed by one Geo. w. Burns, and in which the San Simon Cattle Company were putting crop. On the afternoon of the day above named Dick Stratton and D. Pruett were going to work, when they were fired upon by two men named Johns and Burns. Pruett escaped with burn on the neck, but Stratton was hit in the groin by a 45-calibre Win chester ball the injured man was removed to the company's ranch and Dr. Porter was telegraphed for, but on account of professional du- ties here he was unable to leave town. Medical aid was had later on from Lordsburg, but the wound was such that Mr. Stratton died at 8 30 am. Sunday morning, and was buried Monday morning on the ranch. The murderers were promptly arrested by deputy con- stable Gee, and they were given a hearing on Wednesday before the justice of the peace at Bowie Sta ton, which resulted in their being bound over, without bail, to appear before the next grand jury.-Will- cox Stockman.

Dropped Dead on the Train.

Yesterdays tram from the west was the scene out of the ordinary. Among the passengers was a fairly we'll dressed Mexican, aged about 43 years. who had came through from San Francisco. and whose des- tination was Fl Paso. Soon after leaving Gila Bend yesterday, at 10 o'clock he was noticed to suddenly plunge from his seat, falling across the aisle. He could only groan and appeared in great agony, from pains in his chest. In twenty min utes he was dead.
 The body was brought to Tucson and handed over to Acting Coroner Culver, who summoned a jury. Dr. Handy testified that death probably resulted from heart disease. The jury gave a verdict that disease came to his death from causes un- known, and the body was handed to the over undertaken, no autopsy being performed, it being deemed a useless expense. The remains will be held till this evening, when, in the event of TO autopsy being demand ed by his friends telegraphed in San Francisco, the body will be buried at the county expense.
 Cards and letters in Spanish, were found in his pockets, and a purse containing $8.65. His name was Suarz Torrens, and his ticket was for El Paso. Among the pa pers was his appointment as secre- tary of the interior of the State of Guanacuato, dated in 1880, by President Diaz, of Mexico, and ap- pointment of assistant secretary ot the Hacienda y Credito Publico, dated in 1SS2.-Tucson Citizen.

WE made d mistake last week in the number of cattle sold by the Twenty-four Cattle Company. The contract calls for 1000 twos, 500 threes and 300 four and upward. These cattle are to be shipped from Magdalena on the 21st instant. The 2000 sold by parties at Springer vile are also to be driven to Mag daiena for shipment. The Atlantic and Pacific railroad loses this busi- ness On account of their high rates. It would be much more convenient for our cattle men to ship from Hol- brook, or some other point on the Atlantic and Pacific than to drive 200 miles to Magdalena. The diff ference in rates, however, pay them to make the drive. We have before called the attention ot the Atlantic and Pacific people to this matter. It appears to the HERALD that 1t would be good policy for the above named road to reduce the rate on cattle shipments. It would not only make money by so doing, but it would be a great accommodation and convenience to the stock grow CTS of Apache county.

AN Fl Paso dispatch of recent date says; It was rumored on the streets yesterday that the Northern Mexican Pacific railroad company had been sold to a large English syndicate. They intend to push the work towards completion and have let the contract for the construction to John w. Young of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Get His "Injua".

Sheriff o. B. Little, of Apache County came in by special convey ance from Clifton Monday with an Apache Indian, who is wanted in that county for the murder of a squaw, and committed him to the county jail until he was ready to return to St. Johns. After the mur- der the willy Indian, left the Reser- vation and enlisted in company of scouts doubtless expecting inn munity from arrest. He acknow- ledges his crime but excuses him self on the ground that he suspect ed his squaw not possessed of the emminent virtue which character ized C9sar's wife. Little made the acquaintance of most of the county officers who found him to be an in- telligent and estimable gentleman. County Bulletin.

The Apaches are gitting restless again and a good sized outbreak is feared this summer. Reports of outbreaks and killings are of every day occurrence. It is only a ques- ton of few weeks or perhaps days, when they will move through Co., chise county On their way to So- nora. The needs of a ranger service cannot be overestimated. With all due respect to Governor Irwin as an individual, as an officer, to whom is consigned the personal safety of those who live in the exposed DOT tions of the territory, we think him a complete failure. He has full power to equip a ranger company to protect our people from the ray ages of these blood thirsty devils. His neglect to do so will cost him the condemnation of our people should our fears be realized and deeds of bloodshed follow his neg lect of duty.-Prospector.

Lieut.. McNutt, formerly station. ed at Nogales) who enlisted the company of Indians at San Carlos, says the Prescott Journal Miner, is quite enthusiastic over his new re- cruits and has great hopes of mak- ing good soldiers of them. He says he succeeded in getting the pick of the various tribes, the oldest one enlisted being only 35 years of age, while the balance are all under 30 years. He says they are very obe- dient and manifest great interest in their soldier duties. On their trip
 from San Carlos to Whipple they made average marches of four miles per hour, and the Indians are capable of keeping up this gait all day long, which for infantry is something unheard of. Lieut.. Mc Mutt says he will have them in uni form now in few days. At pres ent white non-commissioned off cers are assigned to the company.

New Railroad.


 To brief up the new railroad sit uation: The Santa Fe fellers came, filed articles of incorporation; elect ed a board of directors got deed to depot grounds in Phenlx under an ordinance of the city council that surveying the routels to commence in sixty days; work of grading to go forward in four months and a railroad to be constructed and in operation inside of three years the road to start from Askfork on the Atlantic and Pacific and to run through Prescott to Phoenix, and to be styled the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railway" This is the thing in the nutshell and what it means to Phoenix and Salt river valley cannot be told in a mile of space. This enterprise has got more pith and moment in it than any thing that has struck the country.

Wool.

The wool markets are all reported quiet. This is not the time, bow ever, for heavy movement. The wools from the new clip are coming forward slowly. The first lots are always high, but this year they are not wanted at the prices growers ale asking. Manufacturers are said to have taken very little of this wool and the largest dealers have only small lots. The buying is confined to the choicest lots, there being no demand for the inferior grades. Values on most of the wools in eastern markets are lower. X weak demand Is still noted for Ohio and Michigan wools. The manufacturers continue to take Australians in place ofthe domestic heeces. The best foreign wools are firm and choice lots are in good de- mand. Dealers who secured only the best wools at the London sales are said to have made large profits on tkeir investments. The move ment in the inferior grades of Aus tralians is very slow and holders are offering their stocks below cost. There is practically nothing doing in either Texas or California wools. Choice territories are considered good property, as sales of these are easily made and values are frmer than on any other grade of domes- tic wool. Carpet wools are quiet.- Bradstreets.

Last Monday night when about three miles this side of Wilcox the east bound passenger train bumped into some ties which had been piled up on the track and came to a sud- den halt. Luckily the trains time was slow and no great damage was done. If it had been the west bound train it would have been running fast and the damage would have been much greater with a probability of a loss of life. No clue has been discovered as to the iden- tity of the miscreants who commit ted'this act.-Lordsburg Liberal.

It is the biggest of nonsense, the vociferous claim of the republican party that it's high tariff policy pro- tects American labor, as the only effect the scheme has upon the wage earner is that it makes the coat on his back come so high that he doesn't often get a new one it makes the various necessities of life so ex- pensive that he doesn't always have the money or the credit 10 enjoy them. Truth is the high tariff is just roundabout way of making the masses contribute to the for tunes of the few. It is a tax which comes out of the weak for the bene- fit of the great.-PheEix Gazette.
