prize light between fltxslmmons and Hall in the above city. Their action is to be complimented as it is time that cheek be placed on this brutal class of entertainments. Prize fight CTS should rent some island in the ocean where they could repair and ''pummel" each other to their hearts content. The number of murders that have been committed recently by prize fighting calls that a halt be made in allowing such exhibitions.
 A recent telegram from London chronicles the arrival at Liverpool of the new American steel steamer, Charles W. Wetmore, which sailed from Duluth. Minn., the latter part of June. The Wetmore is an inland built steamer, and her cargo consist ing of 95.O00 bushels of grain, Is the first grain cargo shipped from lake port direct to Liverpool without be- ing rehandled. The route was down the lakes from Duluth, through the Welland canal, down the St. Law renee river and across the Atlantic. The success of the voyage IS evidence that the proposition to establish di- rect communication between Euro pean and other ports and Chicago is entirely feasible.
 Farmer G. w. Maekey, judge of Harper county, Kansas, was brought up the other day before the supreme court of Kansas on charge of con tempt in refusing to obey the man dates of the supreme court. O. Ct Hooker and D. N. Radley, his coun- selors, were also made defendants with him. All of the defendants apologized and asserted that they did not mean any contempt and promised to hereafter obey the order of the court, when Chief Justice Horton said: The case will he con tinued until September, and If the orders of this court are not obeyed, we will teach people, whether dis trict judges or private individuals, that the state of Kansas through its court receives proper respect, and its orders proper observance"
 Eddie Belden was hanged July 22d in Oklahoma for the murder of Charles Grant near Edmund, Okla homa, in February, 1890, being the first execution in the territory. Bel den was born in Knox county, Ills, where his parents live on farm near Knoxville. His father is well of and young Belden was fitted out with the means to establish himself in the new country. He is described as being twenty-two years old and looked much younger. While not possessed with a superabundance of brains there was nothing in his appearance or behavior to indicate any tendency to commit such a crime for which he suffered the extreme penalty. He was engaged to be married to a bright looking girl from Knoxville, Ills, who sat beside him throughout the trial.
 All that was mortal of the late J. H. Marion was laid away to- day in the Masonic cemetery. After the work of a quarter of cen tury or more for Arizona, he is at rest. The good that he performed for the territory and for humanity will live, while he sleeps the sleep that knows no waking, on the brow of the hill overlooking the town where his life's work was performed. As the clods of Arizona's soil, which he loved, covers his body from hu- human view, so let Heavens mantle of charity cover whatever wrongs he may have done. His voice is hushed in death: his pen lies idle on his desk; his body is cold in the tomb, while the immortal part of his being has gone to that beyond, which is unknowable to all except to the Creator of the Universe, and un- fathomable to all except to those who enter it through the dark shadow of the valley of death. Peace to his ashes"
 We do not believe that the super visors or any one connected with them deny that saying of this paper to the effect that they had found thousands of dollars worth of un- taxed mortgages" To do so would be to belle the records that they pro cured from the county recorders office. 1t would also belle their own official published notice which can now be found in this paper. The additions to the assessment roll, ad- vertised in this paper, as money at interest" represents those thousands of dollars of mortgages which they found. the original list as certified to by the county recorder being in the possession of the clerk of the board. We do not believe that the super visors will deny this. Any one can visit the room of the supervisors and inspect it the same as did the editor of this paper and thus judge for themselves who is the ''falsifier" in the matter.
 One of the most daring wholesale thefts ever committed in the coun- try occurred in the state of Wash ington, on or about July 4th, when five ear loads of horses, valued at Sl0.O00, were stolen from the ranch of A. l.. Davis, in the vicinity of
