The qualities of the law are again invoked in behalf of taxpayers in Co., chise county. who cry aloud if not pro tected in the enjoyment of citizenship, but refuse to pay their quota of the cost for that protection. The Tomb stone Prospector has this to say in ref ecenee to the matter "The law pro- vides that all personal property sold for taxes must be on the ground at the court house at the time of sale. Here. tofore no attention has been paid to this requirement and a man owning personal property and no real estate could defy the treasurer to his hearts s content, knowing that a sale where the property was not present was null and void In this way the real estate own CTS have been worsted and man who owned few hundred head of cattle or horses at a point in the county distant from Tombstone was in clover if he wanted to be. But the end is near at hand"
 The reference to being in clover is mistake, Had the Prospector said "rag- weed, it would have been nearer right The law does not intend that any one shall escape the payment of his due quota of taxes and has wisely made provision for such cases.

An accident occurred in the Cop,

An accident occurred in the Copper Queen mine, at Bisbee, last week, in which John Torpey and W, Nelson were horribly mangled by blast.

see the animal burst out of the cage and
come at him, growing furiOusly.
Lygart made dash for the door, Of the
car, with the bear in close pursuit, but
the messenger got out first and slammed
the door behind him. He crawled upon the
tender and over to the locomotive, and
there he stayed till the train reached this
place. In the car were several barrels OF
ish, crates Of berries, crooks of butter and
some boxes of fancy crackers, and the
bear proceeded to make an elaborate lunch
Of them and to amuse himself by tearing
open and destroying the express packages.
BY the time the train reached Rochester
the interior of the car looked as IL a
cyclone had struck 1t, while the bear was
smeared from head TO tail with butter, and
still growing furiously. The car was sent
on to Ontario beach, and at "a late hour
last night all efforts 10 get him out had
been unsuccessful.
