DiSarm the Indians.

For years the U. s. Government has made it a crime punishable by heavy penalties to sell or furnish Indians whiskey or other liquors. In the meantime nothing has been done towards stopping the sale of firearms. An Indian with money is perfectly free to buy any guns or fixed ammunition he may choose. The result is that the Sioux and many of the Apaches, the two worst tribes, are armed with the latest improved Winchester rifles and plenty of cartridges. They are adopts in the use of arms, and dead shots at long range. An In- dian with a gun is apt to be inde- pendent and sassy" but disarmed he is harmless animal. With the recent bloody experiences, Congress should take immediate steps to pass law punishing with severe penalties any further sales of arms or ammunition to Indian tribes such as the Sioux or Apaches. It is going to cost many more lives to disarm them, the price paid for dis armament will be very heavy Yuma Times.

Did VerdugO Rob Snyder!

Monday morning Verdugo, the robber and murderer, broke jail ; night before last one of his pals, Yeppa, was captured, and upon his person was found some of the keys taken from Pellon, the turnkey of the jail, and who superintends the trustys in taking care of the court house and consequently has keys to all the offices in the court house for the purpose of having them cleaned. Now when Verdugo took the keys from Pellon he no doubt kept the passkey to the court house offices, which would enable him to enter the assessors office. The des- perate character of the man and his notorious reputation as a rob- Der, would make 1t reasonable to suppose that Verdugo was the man who robbed assessor Snyder. It is also reasonable to believe that Juan Jacinto, the other escaped prisoner, accompanied him. And from the fact that not a word was spoken by the robber, there is as much reasoh to believe he was Mexican as an American and that he was the rob- ber.-Tucson Star.

Chinese In Mexico.

The Mazatlan papers, says the Two Republics, announce th, arri val in that port by every steamer from San Francisco of large num- bers Chinese. These celestials are brought to San Francisco by the steamers in the China trade, and there transferred, without being permitted to land, to the steamers which bring them to Mexico. The Chinese have opened laundries, res taurants, bakeries, etc.. in Mazat- Ian, but the majority who arrive disapper in the interior, Ostensibly in search of work In the mines. It is claimed that those who do not find employment in Mexico contin- ue their journey to the Rio Grande, when they siege the first opportuni- ty to cross Into the United States. Be this as it may, the number of Chinese in this and other cities in the republic is rapidly increasing. If the recent decision of Texas federal judge that according to the restriction act Chinese illegally en- tering the United States must be re- turned to the country whence they came is sustained, it is believed that that act will become a dead letter until it is conveniently amended. In this case, it is believed that few Chinese will remain in Mexico, for the present. The wages paid in the country are not yet sufficiently high to prove very attractive to Chinese cheap laborers."

Romance of Needles.

Mrs. Epler was a widow of Zanes. vile, Ohio, and is young and hand some. She was employed as tail press. While finishing a suit of clothes year since, which were or dered from California, she mis- chievously slipped into the watch pocket a note to the effect that if the wearer wished a correspondent, he might write her. A letter came in reply; others followed pro and con, and finally came a proposal of marriage from the Pacific coast lover. He is railroad man at Nee dies, on the Atlantic and Pacific, and in good circumstances. He of fered to furnish Mrs. Epler trans portation to the coast, and return, with the provision that she could stay as his wife if sbe was satisfied. His proposal was manly and free hearted and stated all his business prospects. But while Mrs. Epler hesitated to reply, a telegram came that he was on his way to Zanes- vile and would call for his answer in person. The marriage took place in due time and the happy man is supposed by the Needles Bazoo to be Engineer William Schrader.

Speed Ot Both Men and Horses.

''The wonderfully increase in the
 speed of both men and horses of re- cent years" said an old racing man
 the other day, "holds out an allur-
 ing prospect for the future. Every body remembers when a ? 40 gait was looked upon as very rapid travelling for a trotter, but nowa- days the roadhorse who cannotsdo that time is not worthy treasuring in memory over night. There are over 600 horses in this country which have actually done better than ? 30 this year. They are in all sections of the country, and every horse has a fond owner who is assiduously developing his speed. These facts are far more significant than the occasional performances OI pI1CuOIIISIIdl lIOISCS 1lhG D(lilOl UT Jay-eye-See. The 2-minute limit no longer looks far away. A com pari son of figures show that out of the 600 trotters mentioned above considerably over 400 are less than ' years old. The trotter, unlike the the runner, improves with age. Big speed is often found in a 10 or 12 year old, whereas a running horse now a-days is pretty we'll played out after his third year unless he has cast-iron constitution and disposition that nothing can ruf1e. There is a big chance for the devel- opment of record breakers out of the 400 young horses who are at present stretching their muscular legs over training tracks in various parts of the country" ."-New York Sun.
