Sanders Murdered.

Tonto Basin is considerably work ed up over the murder of Mart San ders by an unknown Mexican horse thief. The Mexican stole horse and saddle from La Tourette's ranch, on the Verde, thirty-fve miles above Fort Mcdowell. Frank Piercy, Jas. La Tourette and Hayden Justice followed the fellow. About seven miles they found where he had kill ed a calf; on about twenty-five miles, near the east fork of Verde, they met his horse coming back. They went on little farther and discovered him in a deep canyon, but owing to the rough condition of the country it was difficult to get very near, and when they were in hailing distance he started for his gun. They seeing his move open ed fire, but owing to the distance, none of the bullets took effect. Here the party split up, and Justice and Piercy followed the trail on to Ton to. At Coles ranch they stayed all night, and the next morning a neighbours horse was missing. On looking for sign they found the trackg to correspond with those of the man they were after. Two oth- CT men, one of whom had lost the horse joined the party, and about fifteen miles from there they saw him on the opposite side of a deep canyon q mile ahead, but before they could get across thecanyon he had gotten away. Twenty miles on they found his horse beside the road, tired out, and he had gone on afoot. He went on to Tonto creek. where he killed Sanders. The man Sanders was passing along the road driving a good four. horse team, and the Mexican probably thought by shooting him from the wagon he could take a horse and escape his pursuers, who were gaining on him, but when the shot was fired the team ran away, and he had to go on his journey afoot. The team was caught by parties coming up the road, and when the pursuing party came up they buried the dead man. The people of Tonto are securing the country for the assas- sin.
 The last seen of him he was going around the Sfoot of the Mo- gollon mountains, without any hat, shoes or coat on.-Phenix Gazette.

A few days ago the occupants of the Sanguinetti block on Main street were disturbed by most unearthly howls of dark brindle color, pro- ceeding from some subterranean source. Search failed to locate the cause and it begun to be thought by the snperstitious that it was the "cry of the banshee" or a hoo-doo on the neighborhood. Speculation ran rife as to which person was the one thus pointed out to die, when a boy discovered that a cat had faleen into 12-foot vault in the rear of the building. Some una- vailing efforts were made to res cue the poor animal, and after a consultation was held by but cher, a lawyer. a watchmaker, an editor and a saloon-keeper 1t was decided to lower a string with a moose in it. It was done, but the cat obstinately refused to be saved and howled night and day for five days. Finally success crowned the efforts, the feline was raised to the surface and skipped away as though nothing had happened. - Yuma Times.

The Old Mans Joke.

My father played queer t1lCh on me the other nj ght. You know I used to feel that had done my self an injustice if I did not go to the theatre about five or six nights a week. It wasn't al ways the thea tre, but if it wasn't that it was a music hall, or perhaps a game of cards or billiards with some of the boys.
 We'll, you also know how I am situated as to business. work tor my father and 1 have to be at the office at s 80 in the morning, just as the re st of the family arc sitting down to breakfast and leave the house before they are up. But l can't complain of that, I'm doin g exactly what the man who had my place before me did, and between you and me Pm drawing more sal ary.
 But that's neither here nor there. It's the evenings. 1 used to finish my work about 6, get dinner in the city and go to the theatre or some where else. I had been doing it for about six months, and, when look back, about the only time I saw my mother and sister during that time was at Sunday dinner. Nothing unusual in that, of course. The same thing is true of hundreds of young men in town. But they have not fathers like mine. He came to me one afternoon and asked me if I had an engagement for that night.
 "Yes." I said; T promised to go to the theatre"
 How about tomorrow night?" he asked.
 Nothing on at present." I re- piled.
 "Well, I'd like you to go some where with me-"
 "All right" I said "where shall I meet you!"
 You see he leaves the office about an hour before l can get my work finished. He suggested the Lenox restaurant at 7 80, and 1 was there, prepared for the theatre and lec- ture on late hours. He had com bined the two on several previous occasions. But when he appeared he said he wanted me to call on a lady with him. "One I knew quite we'll when I was a young man," he explained.
 We went out and started straight for home. "She is stopping at the house." he said, when I spoke of it. I thought it strange that he should have made the appointment for the LenoX restaurant under these circumstances, but said noth- ing. Well, we went in, and I was introduced with due formality to my mother and my sister. The sit uation was ludicrous, and I began to laugh, but the laugh died away.
 None of the three even smiled. My mother and my sister shook hands with me, and my mother said she remembered me as boy, but hadn't seen much of me lately. Then she invited me to be seated. It wasn't a bit funny then, although I can laugh over it now. I sat down and she told me one or two anec- dotes of my boyhood, at which we all laughed little. Then we four played whist for while. When I finally retired 1 was courteously in- vited to call again. went upstairs feeling pretty small and doing a good deal of thinking.
 Then I made up my mind that my mother was most entertaining lady and my sister good and bril- liant girl.
 Now Pm going to call again, as l have been doing quite regularly fol the last week. 1 enjoy their com pany and intend to cultivate their acquaintance.-Arkansas Traveller

For an Open River.

Heppner Gazette. "The next session
of the legislature is near at hand, and
our Eastern Oregon legislators ought to
be getting ready to whack away for an
open river. We need a portage at
Celilo.''
There can be but little doubt, that the
next session will be almost unit on
that question. 1t is seen now that the
Inland Empire demands such legislation
and deaf ear cannot be turned away
from SO important measure as port
age road at Cello. 1t is generally con-
ceeded that the government will under
take ship railway.
Pendleton Tribune. 1.-THE Inland
press are commencing to vigorously ad-
vocate the speedy opening of the Colum-
bia river. This is an important move
and should be shouted from every house
top and woe be the politician who
thwarts this worthy object. Keep the
ball rolling brethren and count us
strictly in the fight"
We are in it. The Inland Empire
needs the obstruction at Cello and the
dalles removed. The outlet for 35,0O0,.
600 bushels of grain annually demands
an open river, and unless vessels can &C
untramelled to the sea, agriculture is 6
