 The Sacaton Indian agent says that 100 Pimas have died during the past three weeks of grip. The epidemic is spreading through the Papagoes and other adjoining tribes. Whole villages have been depopulated.
 Cattlemen report our late rains to have saved at least fifty per cent of the cattle of southern Arizona and northern Sonora. Farmers are also happy, and good times for both enterprises are looked for the coming year.-Adyer- tiser.
