Mr.. Hill deyotes his leisure hours to
the subject of fish culture, and has
many works on that subject, and has
visited all the noted fish, breeding es
Establishments Of the East, and is pos
sessed Of fund of information on the
subject. lie has three Of his ponds
stocked with fish. The first pond be
low the spring is stocked with trout
from Eastern streams, the ponds lying
below being used for carp; the pond
below the spring west Of the wool house
is stocked with red-eyed p rch.
The start was procured from the U.
S. Fish Commissioners four years ago,
and they are all doing well, especially
the carp, which are increasing rapidly.
The trout are not doing so well, as
they require more attention, and spawn
ing rooms are needed for them. In a
few years these ponds will afford
good revenue from the fish alone.
The ponds, aside from, their value
for the water they contain, are quite
profitable from each winters ice crop,
and large ice house containing many
thousands Of tons Of ice is filled every
season, besides large quantities being
shipped during the cutting season for
storage in other places. The ice-cut,
ting privilege is leased to Frank Payne

for sheep shearing, has one of his ma.

power and few improvements. which

come Of general use. The shears are
after the pattern of the clippers" in
use in all barber shops. 1t il impossi.
be to injure a sheep in their use, and
the saving in wool is moro than enough
to pay the cost Of shearing. A sheep
sheared in tho usual manner was
caught and the clippers run over the
already shcared animal, removing
twelve ounces CT wool, which the
shearer could not get with the shears.
The general uss of che clippers would
add largely to tbs wool output Of this
section.

VOLUNTEER SPRINGS RANCH.
Visit to a Model Arizona Sheep
Range.

EelIcmont station. on the A. d p.
railroad. twelve miles west OF flagstaff,
il located in the finest pr sirie land IL
Arizona. The long sweep of pnd lat.
ing prairie, several miles in extent, is
fringed with dsnse growth Of pine,
which encloses it 10 complete circle.
This natural park is known as Volun-
teer Prairie. On the southern curve
of this circle, and about one mile south
Of Bellemont, is Volunteer Springs
Ranch, owned by Walter J. Hill, who
is ons Of the largest sheep raisers in
Arizona. Mr. Hill settled here in
1876, and built his first log house
near the spring, which has capacity
of 500 gallons an hour of cool, sweet
mountain water.
West Of the spring is large and
substantial building known as the
shearing house. Shearing is now 60
ing on, and to novice the process is
an interesting one. One side Of the
building is open, and is divided into a
number of pens or stalls, into which
the sheep are driven through gate
way from adjoining corrals Two
shearers are stationed in each stall,
and it takes but a short time for al
expert sbearer to clip the wool from
sheep and throw it into the wool
house ready for the packer. The
shearers are all experts, and take the
fleece from so to rs sheep each day
eleven hours. Mr.. Hills focks are all
high grade Merino and his wool con
sequently brings the highest market
prices. The clip this year will be O
large one, and will probably exceed
that of last year. Mr., Hill has made
; sheep raising profitable by constant
care of his stock, and the grade hal
been improved until he has today the
! best-graded band in the territory.

THE INDIAN TROUBLE.

On Saturday last warrant was is
sued from Justice Layton's court for
the arrest CT Navajo Chief Hostine
Buettine upon complaint of O. A.
Luse, who charged Hostine with horse
stealing. and that the Indian was near
the ranch of William Roden, 50 miles
northeast Of this place Sheriff Fran
els was given the warrant. and on
Monday morning, accompanied by
nineteen special deputies, all heavily
armed, left for Roden's ranch. The
posse easily found and arrested the
chief, when the sheriff and three men
at once proceeded to make their way
rapidly to .Crnyon Diablo, the nearest
railway station, which place was
cached on Tuesday afternoon in safety.
The rest OF the posse remained on the
river to arrest il possible the other
Indians wanted. The sudden arrest
and taking away Of the chief alarmed
his followers, and they followed the
posse at a short distance, but made no
attempt to interfere. At nighsiall the
posse went into camp on the river, and
gave up the arrest of the Indians
wanted. From Canyon Diablo Sheriff
Francis telegraphed to have the citi-
zens arm and 20 to the rescue Of the
party left on the river. Company q
and Company of tie First Regiment.
n. @. A, mustered all the men and
horses that they could, and together
with number of citizens, the party
numbering about forty, left here at
dark, accompanied by Sheriff Francis,
who had brought his prisoner here on
the 7;2l p. m. train and lodged him in
Jail. The rescuing party arrived at the
river at the river Wednesday morning,
finding the shssifi's party ready to
start home, the entire party reaching
flagstaff that evening.
On Thursday afternoon the Indian
chief was taken before Justice Layton
for examination. There not being
sufficient evidence against him to war
rant his being held to appear before
the Grand Jury, and after taking the
case under adyisement, Justice Layton
ordered him discharged on Friday
morning.
On his release he was Immediately
arrested OH complaint sworn out by
William Roden, that Hostine had
threatened to take his life, and that
he was afraid Of the Indian chieftan,
and prayed that he might be placed
under bonds 10 keep the peace. Hos
tine was again taken before Justice
Layton, who, after investigating the
case, ordered that he be placed under
bond to keep the peace, and fixed the
sum at $4,000. The bond was given
by four wealthy Naval 10 brothers, and
their chief was set at liberty.
These troubles between the Navajos
and the settlers along the reservation
will always continue until the Govern
meut confines them to the limits of
their reservation.
1t is stated that the Navajos are
induced to bring their flock from of
the reservation hy parties who desire
th.ir traffic; however, Of this we do
not know; but judging from the many
stories told, it is evident that the white
men and the Indians do not care to
promote friendly feelings toward each
other.

ceiver to Wind Up His Affairs.
Judge Egan yesterday appointed Col.
A. X. Kiefer receiver of the property
and effects of Charles Faber. This was
the result of an application made few
weeks ago by the National German
American bank and Others Sev-
eral days were taken up in hear
and amount of Faber'S assets and
liabilities. In the order filed
yesterday Judge Egan does not state
the amount Of assets owned by Faber,
but among other things mentions that
he has a hotel near Seven corners, a
confectionery store and saloon, and that
he owns considerable real estate. For
more than three months he has been
unable to pay his debts as they matured
in the ordinary course of business. He
did net pay the debts to the Germania
bank or Scott County bank at their ma
turity. He owes q. Ii. Hammer IS. 800, the
National German-Americ can bank more
than $4,000, and Elizabeth S. Gay S.
140. He has been inSolyent for the past
four months. Having omitted to make
an assignment to prevent a preference
in favor of the Germania bank and the
Scott County bank after judgment had
been rendered against him in their
favor, the inference is that he i'll
tended to give them an advantage
over other creditors, and the
application for receiver Is
granted so that creditors may stand
upon all equal footing. Faber is re
quired to make an inventory and ap-
praisement of his effects, and turn it
over TO the receiver named within five
days. A. r. Keifer is required to give
bond in the sum of S75, ,OOG before enter
ing upon the duties of receiver.

sAUsSAY ON TRIAL.
The Defense Is That He Is Not the
Responsible Man.

The case of Walter A Saussay, of the Sun
day sun, will go to the jury this morning
after Judge Kerr mas delivered his charge
The evidence is all in and counsel have con-
cluded the argument. The defense denied
that Saussay was the responsible publisher
of the SUM- and therefore claimed that he
was not RESPONSIBLE for printing, publishing
and uttering an obscene and indecent news
paper. John :. Penney, manager of the
American Press association. was put on the
stand by the state to show that Saussay had
ordered cuts and plate matter for the Sunday
sun under the representation that he was
publisher of the paper Loxton Hunter.
TheO. A. Lienau and others were also
called upon to testify that Saussay
was the responsible publisher of the paper
No ATTEMPT was made TO justify or palliate
the publication complained of. The de-
fense insisted when the paper was intro
duced in evidence that the state should elect
as to which of the allegations i'll the indict-
ment was relied upon. After some argument
the state agreed to treat the allegation as to
printing as being surplusage, and to go to
the jury upon the charges as to publishing
and uttering an obscene and indecent paper
The court refused to strike out such evil
dence as related to printing the paper.

A receiver is asked for the Taylor
Manufacturing company, which deals
in engines, boilers, machinery and me-
chanical appliances. of which J. NJ
Badger is the agent in this city. The
application is made by the Frost Manu-
featuring company, which filed a peti-
ton in the district court yesterday,
claiming that there is due it from that
company s4,4S7.30. Among the allega-
tions upon which the petition is based
are the following: 1t is believed that
the effects of the concern in this city,
valued at $1,000, have been set
over to the Bank of Chambers
burg, Pa, to secure that bank,
without consideration, but that it is
done to defeat the creditors here from
collecting their debts. The Buckley
Iron and Brass works have sued out an
attachment for S1.45O. and levied it
upon property worth $500. 1t is
alleged that it was learned from J. NJ.
Badger that the National Bank of
Chambersburg, Pa, has levied OIL prop
erty Of the Taylor Manufacturing
