The editor of the Independence (Kas.) Star sued delinquent sub- scriber for $11. The delinquent claimed he never subscribed for the paper and did not propose to pay. The judge instructed the jury that if the evidence disclosed the fact that the delinquent had taken the paper from the office, or caused it to be so taken, they should find for the plaintiff. It cost the man nearly a hundred dollars to settle what eleven dollars would have paid. It pays to be honest, even with the printer.

A duel was fought at Piedad near the City of Mexico between Colon els Francisco Nevoa and Manuel Blanco. They had a quarrel and decided to settle 1t with swords. The assaults, after the signal of at- tack was given were ten. Blaneo was wounded in the right arm and in the throat, and was laid out by a thrust in the liver, giving up after being so weak he could not stand. Nevoa had several scratches none however worth mentioning.-Pros. pectOr.

The assessed valuation of New York City per capita is five and a half times that of Chicago, while the assessd valuation of Boston per capita is eight and a half times that of Chicago. If the assessed valuation of Chicago were as great per capita as that of New York, the assessed valuation would be over $1 ,2OO,O0O,OO0; or if the assessed valuation of Chicago were as great per capita as that of Boston, the assessed valuation would be $1 .S00.- 100000 or larger than that of New York. In spite of the very low as- sessed valuation of property in Chicago, the total debt of Chicago per capita is less than a fifth of the of the debt per capita of either New York or Standardization Invest ment.

On the 18th of July a cloud burst


 On the 18th of July a cloud burst at Lookout, near Willows, this county, completely wrecked the ranch of Peter Miller. The garden was torn up and covered with rock and debris. Much valuable proper perty was lost in the flood. At the Willows considerable fencing was carried away. The loss at Lookout falls rather heavily on Mrs. Miller and much sympathy is felt for the family as the ranch is said to be a total wreck.-Mohave Miner.

John Dart came up from Naccos- sari Saturday night. He came through Sulphur Spring valley via Bisbee and reports a wet region in the valley. The ground in some places is flooded and the rain must have been very heavy. The crops planted by the Queen Co. appear to be doing nicely. They are experi- menting with various cereals and vegetables, besides fruits. They have plenty of water for irrigation. They are sinking the artesian we'll very rapidly. They are down over 500 feet and will sink to 1000 be- fore stopping. The ground en- countered has been solid clay nearly all the way which accounts for the soil in the valley keeping the water so near the surface.-Prospector.

If coming events cast their shad- ows before, it is safe to predict that during the next few years the South ern States will take the place here tofore occupied by the Western States in the construction of new lines, as we'll as the extension ofthe old ones. Investigations in the Southern and Southeastern States have revealed coal and other min eral deposits of great richness, and as a consequence investors are turning their attention to that re- zion; and in those States where legislation is not likely to hamper such..projects it is probable that the development of new railroads will be rapid as we'll as probable.- Chicago Railway Review.

The west bound passenger No. 1 on Saturday evening happened to quite wreck. When about a mile west of town COW took possession of the track and the whistling of the locomotive failed to scare her off. The engineer slowed up, but the COW remained until the cow catcher ran over her throwing the engine and baggage car of'the track. Fireman Downs of Winslow was hurt, though it is believed not se- riously, as at this writing he is get ting along nicely. The damage to the company will reach several thousand dollars, as the engine was completely demolished, and bag gage car and one passenger coach were damaged considerably. It was fortunate that no more damage was done, considering the extent of the wreck.-Flagstaff Democrat.

A Mexican passing through our city brings a report of a murder of an unknown Mexican. The story rms that about midday Monday, between here and Casa Grande the Mexican was found by white man necking horses together. The white man, whose name we are unable to learn, asked what he was going to do with the horses, The Mexican said they were his and that he was go. ing to hitch up. The white man said he wouldn't hitch those horses up, that they were his. The Mexi- can persisted in taking the horses, and the man being quick of temper and trigger simply poured hot led into the thief. This is the report as we heard it,-Tempe News.

The cattlemen ofCoconino county met at Flagstaff last week and or ganized the Coconino Cattlemen's Association, for mutual protection and assistance. A reward of one thousand dollars is offered by the association for the conviction of any one stealing or killing stock be- longing to any member of the asso- citation. By living up to their con- stltution and bylaws and retaining harmony, such associations can be made a power for good, and should be more common than is now the case. The cattlemen of every coun- ty in the Territory should be thus banded together, not only in name but in concerted action.-Stock- man.

The successful voyage of the whaleback steamer Charles W. Wet more from Duluth to Liverpool, with a cargo of wheat, is an event of unusual interest, and brings the plans of the Lake shipbuilders to the front.

An Ear Bitter.


 ed George Lee, also colored, at the Metropolitan several years ago, for which he was discharged celebrated his return to the city yesterday morning by getting into fight with A. H. Jones, of color, few hours later. The orign of the fight resulted over a dispute about a gambling bet at the place formerly run by Bramlette on First street. Jackson had bet, but it is claimed lost. He insisted that he did not, and whether or no he would not lose his money. Jones was watching the game, and told Jackson that if he took any money out of the game that dld not belong to him ''he would knock his (Jackson's) head off," Jackson replied: Are you a scrapper?" Il am," remarked Jones. Let's go outside and settle the row." returned Jackson. Both men started for the door, cursing and quarreling with each other as they went, but before they reached the door they went together in a rough and tumble fight. When the smoke cleared away, Jones had lost half of his left ear by being bitten off by Jackson, who had also fasten- ed his teeth through the palm of lis antagonists left hand. Besides these injuries, Jones was badly bruised and blackened about the left eye and forehead. Jackson ran out of the place, and was captured a short time afterward by Policeman Chavez, in the rear of the Chicago saloon. Jones, bleeding and al- most entirely knocked out, was ts- ken to Dr. Allison, and the piece of the ear, picked up from where it had fallen, was stitched on by the doctor. Jackson is in jail, without a scratch to show that he had fight but the charge of mayhem has not been preferred against him. He is as bad negro as ever came to Albuquerque.
 When Jackson secured his release after killing Lee, he went to Las Vegas, thence to St. Joseph, Mo-, and from there to Kansas City where he got situation as Pull man porter on the Union Pacific between Kansas City and Portland. Oregon. A few days ago he se- cured a leave of absence, told his wife he would come to Albuquer- que, and if successful in securing a better job would send for her. It is likely now he will not send for his wife.-Albuquerque Citizen.

After the close of the Phoenix duel, a prominent citizen of that place remarked: "Yes, I shall have to quit this country where folks can fire nine shots in the heart of the city and not even hit a iackass. That is just too much for human pride and proper self-respect." Which of the combatants was firing at a jackass the p. c. did not state. Journal-Miner.

The temperature in that vicinity is much lower than before, and travel by rail is much more comfortable on account of it.

Electric Railways continue t

Electric Railways continue to multiply with surprising rapidity recent estimate gives 400 lines now in operation and under contract, representing 5000 miles with 5000 cars.

The retirement of Quay as the head of tho National Republican Committee, and the choice of Clark son to succeed him were accom- plished in the interest of the liar rison boom. Quay's preference Is for Blaine, and he could not well have retained his leadership under e circumstances. ClarksCn is for Harrison, and will handle his forces
 Quay will work in his own peculiar way to throw all the obstacles he can in the way of the Harrison pro ssion. Harrison's claims for a renomination are nearly all mega tive ones. The only positive ele- ment in his favor is the triumph of reciprocity, the credit for which his packers will have the surprising au- dacity to claim. The rest of his claims are exceedingly meagre. The Mckinley bill, the Boring Sea nego
 tiations, the Italian imbroglio and the administrators forcing policy generally, will all have to be utilized for what they are north. In this scheme to foist the grandfather ot Baby Mckee upon the people for a second time, the moral sense of Re
 pubiicans is greatly presumed upon
 Whatever of brains and statesman
 ship has marked the Harrison re
 gime has been contributed by Blaine. It was in the arduous work of fighting a way for reciprocity and getting the proposed parties tC it together that Mr. Blaine lost his health. And at every step he wa: either overtlv or secretly hampered by the President, Now the Presi
 dent appears at the front pushing forward reciprocity negotiations while MT. Blaine is sick in order t, spike his guns on the only live issue of the day on which Republican capital can be made.-Boston Globe

Republican Candidates for 1892

Several questions have yet to b. determined before President Harri son can be put formally and finally out of the race. Mr. Blaine's healtf and political intentions have mol yet been definitely revealed. He undoubtedly is the first choice o the masses of the party as we'll as we'll as of the party leaders. If Il be found that he can stand the phy' sical strain of a campaign and will accept the nomination he will get it on the first ballot. Then there is Major Mckinley to be considered He will be the second choice of the party if he be elected to the Gov ernorship. A Republican plurality of 12,O00 or 15,000 in Ohio this year would make Mckinley the fav- orite of the national convention if Blaine stays out of the contest. The matter of the nomination next year: therefore, can not be considered de- fnitely settled for few months yet. The coming November will tell the story as to McKinley's availability and by that time perhaps the coun- try will be officially informed as to Blaine's condition and intentions If both these men arc off the track the race is extremely likely to be a walk-over for President Harrison Age and other considerations have rendered Sherman unavailable, Ed munds and Reed are impossibili' ties, and nobody except few poli' clans and political strikers" wants AIger. In such an event Harrison is the only man who would be se' riously mentioned in connection with the nomination. The Presi- dents chances, that is to say, are altogether dependent upon Blaine and Mckinley, in the manner here pointed out, and no movement by Republican bosses either against Harrison or for him can change th- situation Tn this respect in any de- gree whatsoever.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
