Phenix has another sensation. A young fellow named Jim Robinson, on Tuesday evening kidnapped from her home fifteen-year-old girl named Maggie Dean, who it seems had rejected his proposals of marriage. The girl was allowed to return to her home shortly after noon, Thursday, She was in pitt ful condition; her clothes being al- most all torn from her body. She was almost dead from hunger and exposure, having been kept on the desert by her captor, for over forty hours without food or shelter. The full details of the poor girls terri ble sufferings, as published in yes- terday mornings Republican are touching in the extreme, and de- mand that the extent of the law be applied to the perpetrator of the out rage. Robinson was arrested few hours after the girls return, and lodged in jail. Great indignation prevails in Phenix over the affair and it was feared Thursday night that an attempt would be made to lynch the cowardly brute. A fate he most richly deserves.-Tempe News.

It will be remembered by the readers of The Citizen that when Constable Cade Selvy, of Gallup, was here few weeks ago he arrest ed a man, named Jerry Nolan, in the northeastern portion of this city, on the Highlands, charged with attempted rape on the person of Louise Wilhelm, nine-year-old girl, and on the night of the arrest spirited him back to Gallup to face an outraged public and the girl whom it was alleged he had ruined, and at the same time communicated to her a venereal disease. The pre- liminary hearing was had before Justice Maloney, and alter all the evidence had been introduced, al though he attempted to connect Fred Finger as an accomplice, he was placed under s1,O00 bond, and in default was brought here for safe keeping, being confined in a cell at the county jail, where he will Ian guish until the case is finally dis posed of. After the trial, on being guaranteed protection, Nolan made a confession, which, if true, the mother of the child is sorely to blame, and the citizens of Gallup would be doing themselves gener- ous deed by driving her from their midst. The confession is so out rageously indecent that The Citizen refrains from giving it publicity Alb. Citizen.

THE St. Louis Republic observes that Arizona, New Mexico and Ok lahoma are next on the list for ad- mission as states. These territories may lack some of the possibilities for greatness that Missouri possess ed as territory and has developed as state. But if they were not far better fitted for statehood than the rotten republican boroughs of Nevada and Idaho it would De mon- ey in Uncle Sam's pocket to give the first two of them back to Mex lco. As a matter of fact there is not one of these three that does not possess the elements of a very res pectable state.

Outrage on Citizens.

Fl Paso Jan. 27.-Three citizens of the United States, Remigio Sais, Mendosa and Talles, who were leading spirits in the late political riot at Ascension, are in jail at Las Cruces, NM, charged with being revolutionists and with having com mitted murder in Mexico. They are deprived of their liberty without out warrant of law as they commit ted no crime within the jurisdiction of the United States, and are held prisoners merely to give the Mezi- can authorities time in which to secure extradition papers.
 The treaty between the two coun- tries does not provide for the ex- tradition of political offenders, and, besides, the evidence adduced did not sustain the charge that they were revolutionists. The Mexican authorities then preferred the charge of murder, but when the case was called and the defense reported ready for trial the Mexican Consul asked fifteen days time to get his papers in shape and It was granted.
 The accused were born in New Mexico and are citizens of the Uni ted States, which will not only pre- vent their being eztradited, but

CHILL has at last taken a reason able view of the relations existing between her and the United States, and withdrawn the offensive circu- lar issued by Senor Malta, apolo- gized fer the assault made upon the Baltimore's men, and expressed q willingness to arbitrate the ques- tion of reparation; or, if that was not satisfactory to this government, to leave the matter with the Su- preme Court of the United States. Had she done this at first and lit tie more cheerfully, it would have shown that the persons at the head of affairs in that country were gov erned by a spirit of fairness, and not by prejudice. But, alter thirty odd years of experience with the Spanish speaking people, we are forced to the conclusion they are naturally antagonistic to the Anglo Saxons.

NEWS in regard to the rebellion headed by Garza is conflicting. One report has it that the revolution Is virtually at an end, and that Garza is to be captured within the next twenty-four hours. The other re- port says the insurgents are only waiting for the spring grass to com mence operations on a large scale. Take your choice, and believe the one that suits your inclinations best.
 LATER.-St. Louis, Jan. 29,-Ad- ditional advices from the border, confirms the report that Garza has crossed into Mexico with 4 300 to 5000 well armed and mounted Mexicans. He has another band in the Santa Rosa mountains country, of 1,500 to 1900 men, we'll armed and mounted, under the command of General Francisco Salas, and it is well-known fact among all the Mexicans, who try to find out any thing about the trouble, that Garza will have at least two thirds of the entire Mexican population on his side when the proper time comes to show up.

SAYS the Enterprise: The bill in troduced in Congress by Delegate Mark Smith, for the settlement of private land claims in Arizona, has for its object the protection of the interests acquired by the settlers in good faith upon the lands included in the limits of such grants as may be confirmed by the land court, This bill was referred, by the spec ial request of Mr. Smith, to the ju- dietary committee, which is com posed of eminent lawyers, where its fate is regarded as more favorable than if it had gone to the public lands committee, In support of the bill Judge ". H. Barnes, has been requested to prepare an argument bearing upon all the facts and in- terests involved. which will be laid before the committee for considera- ton. It is believed that showing can be made sufficiently strong to convince the committee that a great injustice will be done very many worthy and industrious people un- less the relief asked is given. To leave these settlers at the mercy of the greedy grant claimants is vir- tually confscation of their hard earned possessions, while the pro- lection they seek can injure no one. Upon this ground alone the com mittee could base good and suffi- cient reasons for giving the bill their favorable consideration.

The Indians of the Colorado des- ert have an extraordinary way of foretelling the weather. They not only prognosticate for few days, but for six months and sometimes a year. Last fall they told every body that we should have a cool summer in the desert and that the fruitwould be late. They were right. The fruit was late thIs summer. They declare that next year will be an early summer, and that the fruit will ripen early. What they base their predictions upon is unknown. Yankee Blade.

Murder at Gila Bend.


 A dispatch from Gila Bend to the Phenix Republican says: Last night a bloody attack was made on Chief Joaquin. by a Mexican named Bernales. The assailant struck di- rectly at his victims throat but failed in his calculation, cutting Joaquin's mouth clear back to his ear. The wound was frightful and ghastly in appearance and came near being fatal.
 The row grew out of an old grudge of some time standing. Joaquin is an important witness in a case before the United States commissioner in which two Mexi- cans named Hernandez and Con zales are awaiting trial on charge of selling liquor to the Indians.
 For some time complaint had been made against these notorious characters but they piled their trade in such a smooth manner that they managed to escape detection. Not long ago Deputy Sheriff Harry Me- Phaul received notice that the h. dians were preparing to hold ajubi- lee down in a barranca about two miles north of this place. Togeth- erwith three assistants hesurround- ed the camp and captured Herman deg and Gonzales in the act of dis posing of the contraband liquor. After a show of resistance they were placed under arrest.
 Last evening a party came in from the Wolfey dam with portions of a coat, vest and a piece of hu- man cheek and mustaehe. The clothing was bedaubed with blood and the vest cut in several places about the breast with a knife. There is TO question but bloody crime has been committed and the Depu- ty Sheriff is now out with a posse of Indians in search of further par ticulars.
 The authorities are satisfied as to the identity of the murdered man, who IS also a witness in the same case, with Chief Joaquin.
 It would appear that there is conspiracy on foot to do away with all the witnesses before the case comes on trial.
 The Papagoes near here are work ed up over the affair and ghost dance was inaugurated last night which kept up till daylight.
 Gila Bend, Jan. 25.-Since the first report of the bloody crime en- acted ia this valley, it has been found upon examination that the mans coat and vest had | been used as a saddle blanket. The community has been wrought up to a high pitch over the affair, and every means possible is being taken to catch the murderer.

The convict Garbino Lopez, who in company with Francisco Lopez, made an unsuccessful attempt to escape while going to work on the levee last July, succeeded in getting away yesterday. The manner of his escape was novel and daring. The holes dug by the men at the work on the levee are quite deep and occasionally they are connect ed by tunneling. When the word was given yesterday forenoon to quit work for dinner, Garbino hid himself in one of these holes and was not missed until the gang ar rived at the prison. It was then too late as Garbino had made good his escape. A few days ago a pair of overalls was stolen from the line at the prison and it is sup posed they were taken by Garbino, as his prison clothes were found in the hole where he hid. Guards Ward and Wilder started out to trail Lopez but up to this morning nothing had been heard from them. Times.

Indian Hunters.

| Ever SlnC0 the dQJOuTDm6nG or the sixteenth legislature the people of Cochise have been wondering what they drew out of the semi-an- nual grab bag. There was but one bill that passed in aid of Cochise county and everything we had to gain was given up for that one bill by our representatives. While oth- CT counties secured plums of finan- cial flavor, Cochise only asked to be relieved from the ravages of Apache renegades who were paralyzing our industries and making life uncertain outside of the centers of habita- ton.
 This bill was known as the Ranger Bill" The bill empower ed the governor to issue call and organize and equip 2 company of rangers when 1t became in his mind necessary to take such action, But nothing has been done although at least a half dozen murders have been committed by the small band of renegades.
 Yesterday, Col. Mike Gray of Rucker canyon arrived from Hunts vile, Texas, bringing with him four blood hounds for use against the renegade Apaches who have so sue cessfully. robbed and murdered and avoided the military during the past two years.
 Two of the worst characters, Masse and Kid, with not less than seven following, are known to make the Chiricahua mountains in Ari- zona and the Sierra Madres in Sol nora their haunts. At intervals they travel back and forth, killing any one who happens in their path way, stealing horses and Wantonly shooting cattle.
 Governor Irwin is to be asked to organize and equip a ranger com pany as the last legislature author ized him to do. If he can be in duced so do so, short work will be made of these renegades.
 Mir. Gray selected his hounds from bunch that are used at the Texas penitentiary at Huntsville for trailing escaped convicts. They have performed some marvellous feats, and were tried by MT. Gray before purchase. The dogs are crossed with fox hounds and are superior to full blooded hounds. They are warranted to take trail of an individual and keep It till he is caught and if necessary pick him out of a crowd of one hundred.
 Mr. Gray went to Texas for the express purpose. The $. P. Co. fur nished him with free transportation both ways when he stated the ob- ject of his visit. He is in earnest in his desire to rid the country of this band of marauders and should receive the encouragement of every man in the county, who unite in asking other sections of the terri tory to aid Us in securing the prac- tical operation of a law which, had it been enforced earlier, would have preserved the lives of more than one pioneer. The governor has been asked to act, and the people of Co., chise ask the other sections of the territory to aid us by their moral support in securing our release from the ravages of this handful of rene gades.-Prospector.
