The Cnrby Case.

The case of the Territory vs. Curby, on appeal to the Supreme Court for s new trial, was argued Tuesday in Phenix. The Republican says of the case:
 "One of the assignments of error was. that the defendant had been in dicted by a grand jury of not less than fifteen persons, under the law passed prior 10 1888, whereas he should have been indicted by grand jury of not less than seventeen persons, or more than twenty-three, AS provided by the law passed by the last Legislative As sembly-one Of the "lOst laws" pigeon holed by Zulick. But that feature was not argued, inasmuch as the Chief Justice announced that a majority of the members or the Supreme Court of Arizona were of the opinion that the laws passed by tine last Legislative As- sembly after sixty consecutive days from the time of its csmme neement, but within sixty legislative days, are valid, and it was unnecessary,j there fore, 10 argue that point. It was & Nauestion now before the Supreme Court of the United States in the mat ter from this county of the habeas 5prp Is proceedings in the case of the Uniied States vs. Jefferson Wilson, in dicted far murder by A grand jury or fganized under the former law-whp was tried, convicted and sentenced to he n=eI.

TAX payers in the proposed county of Miles should open their eyes before being led to the slaughter by few schemers who are bent upon ruling th~new county for their private bene- fit They should stop and consider before endorsing any such scheme as is proposed. It is not justice to the taxpayer of either section of Cochise to entail an additional expense upon their present over-taxed condition. It will cost just as much to run either county as it does at present to run the county of Cochise or in other words one-half the taxpayers will have to stand the strain after division that we all share at present.

Win the Prisou n be Moved:
YUMA TINEs.1

UNA 1INEs-
 It is said that one Of the jobs 10 come up before the present Legisla- iure is the removal of the penitenIiar from Yuma. The Florence Enterprise of last Saturday asserts that one Of the trades among the Democrat. in the organization of the Legislature was that the prison should be moved to a point in the eastern part of the Terri tory, said to he Benson that the s10- 900 now in the Flad be used for this purpose, and tax of one and a half per cent be levied to erect the nec- cessary buildings. It is difficult to see how the Democratic majority with all its professions of retrenchment, can have the assurance to undertake a job of this magnitude. Just what the supposed gain will be is not stated. The removal would be justifiable only as A measure of economy. It has not been seriously urged that the prison could be run on a cheaper basis at any other point.

 [ W Urles"s Tirea-Dcmocrrl NEW YosK. January g 1.-The two line announcement of the death and burial of Geo. C. Willis in yesterday mornings papers WAS all that chron- icled the departure from this earth of 2 man who figured prominently in The ~ocial as well as the professional cir les of 'his ci'v seven ar tight years ago. I' is not vet forgotten how sud- d 'nly Dr. G"o. c. Willis, a handsome and accomplished physician, disap- peared from this city at the time men, toned. Soon afterward he turned up in the western part of Arizona, where he settled down with his wife. former ly Miss Addison, who was known in New York society for more than . year before her husbands disappear ance from here.
 According to Mrs. Willis statement the doctor prospered. Through the influence of relatives in London, the Willis Sons, famous organ manufac- turers, he was appointed general su- perintendent and paymaster of a num- Der of mines controlled by an English syndicate, at a handsome salary. In a short time he amassed considerable money and built lovely home, sur rounded by a splendid farm. From day to day he travelled from shaft to shaft, overseeing the miners work, and at regular times paying their wages. One day, mol, many days ago, a tramp applied to hin, for work. The doctor fed him and save him work in one of the mines. His reward was in- gratitude. The fellows name is Dan Shackleford, and he is now said to be connected with many crimes. He caused dissensiun among many Of the miners and frequently used threats of violence. and, becoming intolerabie, toward the end of last month was dis charged.
 On December Both, as Dr. Willis was driving from Shaft No. to Shaft No. he was stopped on the highway by Shackelford, who demanded money, claiming it was due him. The doctor asked him to go to his counting room. Shsckelfsrd refused, and as Willis urged his horses on the desperado seized the bridle, and. pulling a revol yer, fired five shots into the poor fel- lows body. The horses dashed in the direction of the doctors house, carry ing the dying man in the buggy. They stopped at the gate, where the sight that met Mrs. Willis gaze almost drove her frantic, although her seven years of Western life had nerved her for al- most anything.
 Her husband lived just long enough to tell the tale of his brutal murder. The griefstricken widow wired her mother. Mrs. Addison, in this city, whom the news shocked so much tha. she is yet ill. She, however, sent a friend of hers, a Mir. Tuffs. out to Ari- zona. That gentleman returned to rhis cIty Tuesday, bringing with him the dead mans body, Mrs Willis and her three orphans. The funeral took place yesterday and was very large one Mrs. Willis has considerable wealth left her now and will not re- turn west again. Her husbands mur- derer was not captured.
