What They Think I'm phenIx.

The anonymous communications sent out recently from New York, containing those press clippings, seem to have been distributed freely in Phenix as we'll as m Prescott. The Phenix Republican interviewed a number of citizens there on the proposition as expressed in these clippings with the following result: {:
 Mir. J. NJ. Evans was seen. This Is misrepresentation. Every one knows the Santa Fe road never put a dollar into the Prescott and Phe- nix road. They never said they would. They wlll operat the road in connection with their own. It was never said the Atlantic & Pacific or the Atchison < Santa Fe would put dollar in the enterprise. The money to build the road is already subscribed. Upon the best authority l say the total amount of money necessary to build the road has al- ready been subscribed. This pub lished statement is manuf lctured out of whole cloth. 1 believe this cir cular was published by authority of Bullock and his associates. There is no truth in it.
 MT. B. Heyman was shown the clipping. Il don't believe a word of it." said he. "While the Atchison and Topeka road may not build the road, Messrs. Robinson and Bissell will interest capital to build it. I think the opposite faction sent this clipping out. l have no doubt the road will be built. These people mean business, and the other faction haven't done anything yet about building the road. They filed their articles of intention three months ago, but never did anything. Messrs. Robinson and Bissell promised to go to work in sixty days, and in less than month they begin work. Don't this seem as if they will build the roads 1 believe it does"
 Mir. Talbot, the hardware mer- chant, said after reading the clip ping: 1t may be true that the Santa Fe and Atlantic < Pacific roads do not furnish the money for the road, but they give their in- fluence. l understood that Joe Key holds estate was furnishing a good deal of the money. The circular. I believe, was gotten out by the oppo- site faction"
 MT. H, E. Kemp was handed the clipping to read. "There never was any question about the Santa Fe road building this road,' said he. "The money has been raised though. I don't see how MT. Magoun can say. ''None of their people were in any way interested in the road from Ash Fork" when he knew that Robinson was here. We know better than that. I think the Bullock party was the author of it."
 Several persons got circulars sim liar to the one sent the Republican and they were all sent from New York.

NEW YORK. June 10th. lS9l.--Dear Sir: Your attention is called to the following clipping from the New York Press of June 10th, 1891:
 WILL NOT BUILD PARALLEL ROADS.
 "The current rumor that the Atchi- son. Topeka & Santa Fe road, or its lessee, the Atlantic X Pacific, would soon begin the construction of line from Ash Fork to Prescott and Phe- nix, Arizona, parallel to the existing line, was emphaticslly denied by Chairman George C. Magoun, of the Atchison road, yesterday. Mir. Ma goun said he spoke for both the Atchison and Atlantic X Pacific roads, and that he had heard noth- ing of any intention to revive the policy of paralleling existing roads st several points. He said that none of their people were in any way in terestedin the road from Ash Fork. V
 The receipt of the above by mum
 Der of citizens of this town, in con nection with the article in this morn ing's Courier. would indicate to any ordinary mind that all the articles mentioned must have been written by one person in the interest of Mir. Bullock. presumably Mr. Wilson) and intended to weaken the efforts of the citizens of this town in giving the right of way to the 5. F. F. < P. R. k. Co. The purposes of an onymous communications should al- ways be questioned by sensible and we'll minded people and the motives inspiring the same attributed to any thing but honorable ones. It would be just punishment for this people forever to wear the F. < \. C. yoke if they do not take the present op
 portunity to forever place it beyond its power to further rob and tyrannize
 the community.

Diphtheria Among the Savajo~s.

The diphtheria is raging among the Navajo Indians, and a great many of their children are dying from the effects of that disease. X few days ago a Navajo Indian was in Flag staff with note. from a citizen liv- ing near the reservation, which sta ted that the bearers family was sick with diphtheria and that any aid given him would be appreciated. One of our citizens was handed the paper. and knowing how easily the disease ws; spread, asked the beg ging Navajo II his sick children had handled the paper, and was told that the spotted condition of the pa per was due to one of the children coughing upon it. IL is needless to say that the paper was committed to the flames upon this explanation. \ good many Navajoes come here to trade and it would be well for our citizens to exercise the utmost care in their dealings with them. Diph- theria is disease almost always ia tai. especially so with children, and its contagious nature makes it one to be dreaded even more than the small pox.-Coconino Sun.

PHESIx, June 16.-[To the editor of the Republican. MT. T. s. Bull lock, of New York, is industriously sending out newspaper squibs in reference to the north and south road. A few days ago he sent out a short article attacking the officials and managers of the Atchison sys- tenn, which appeared in the Finan- cial News. Now comes another s9uib, purporting to be from the New York Press, in which it is un- necessarily denied that the Atchison and Atlantic & Pacific contemplate paralleling any existing line to Phe- nix, etc, etc. Go ahead.

 The last United States grand juries that met in Phenix and Tucson, in addition to giving the matrimonial market boom were, according to the Herald. the means of perpetrat- ing some rather severe jokes on the thoughtless offenders of the Ed munds act. In describing one ofthe arrests the Herald says: Deputy Marshal De Nure had warrant to arrest Guadaloupe Carter. He thought it was Cortez. So. when he found a beautiful girl sleeping, about Il p. m., of a recent date. sprawled at full length on the floor of an Eas; Tempe adobe, he reused her with the question, "are you Guadaloupe Cortez." 'No,r said she sharply. "my name is Guadsloupe Carter" Looking over his warrant again he found that was the person called for. Hurrying on her clothes, he drove her rapidly to Phenix and ruthlessly hurled her into the tank"

John Canonica's Death.

John Canonica, the we'll known wood contractor and charcoal burn CT, died at his camp, four miles south of town, on Saturday night at half past 10 o'clock, from the effects of strychnine poisoning. The body was brought into town yesterday and an inquest held over the remains at ? o'clock Sunday afternoon by Justice Andrews, and jury impan- eled for the purpose. As the rumors anoat during the day indicated possibility of foul play, District At torney Brown was present, but he failed to elicit any testimony indi- eating any thing of the kind. The testimony was to the effect that de- ceased had taken the strychnine in the morning about s o'clock. That he had remarked to those present that he had taken the dose, and 1t was the easiest way to get rid of his troubles. Later in the day he stated that he had taken the poison through mistake, having mixed the strychnine in a coffee cup to poison squirrels with and, forgetting it, had partaken of it in his coffee. The jury, after hearing all the evidence, returned verdict of suicide, with two exceptions. Josph Melvin and F. Taffney refused to sign their names to the verdict of the majori- ty or to bring in verdict express ing their own views as to how the deceased came to his death. The verdict was signed by Geo. l.. Mer- ritt, J. H. Philips, Charles Crocker, Dr. A. D. Smith, Robert Dreynan, c. B. Coulson and William Cooper.
 Deceased has wood and coal con tracts at Whipple, and Thursday last had received between $500 and S7O0 on account of them. He set tied up number of accounts Tn town with this money, and returned to his camp that evening. What motive he had for taking his own life can only be conjectured, the most plausible one being that it was caused from despondency following a protracted spree, as he had been drinking heavily for two weeks. He was industrious in his habits except when drinking, and thoroughly hon. orable and honest in all his transae- tions.
 Arrangements have been made for his funeral at ? o'clock Tuesday af-

Looks Like Abandonment

The JouRNAL-MINER has received information from the east from a private source, but a perfectly relia- ble one, that the 9th and l1th infan- try regiments will shortly exchange stations. The latter is now station ed in New York. Instead, however. of like number of the llth infantry regiment being stationed at Whipple as now stationed there of the 9th they will be replaced by a single company in view of the proposed abandonment of the post. The re- mainder of the regiment win be as signed to the different posts in Ari- zona and New Mexico, the largest number probably being stationed at Huachuca. From the above it will be seen that it seems to be the inten- tion of the war department to aban- don the Whipple post.

Two Railroad ltems..
 The following two railroad items are from the Phenix Herald:
 If the Bullock road don't want to be paralleled, let it carry out its promises to the people. It won't play dog in the manager policy long in this country"
 "The fight against the north and south railroad is again on, hot and heavy. What the result will be re- mains to he seen. That the road will be built within the next two or three years, however, is foregone conclusion; it may be delayed by the opposition, but it cannot be beaten"
