the Emperor from Kansas, and IN her
childish way asked for the pardon OF her
father on his birthday, Jan. %. The
Emperor received the letter Oh Jan. -
and Immediately issued an order which
gave Schmitz his freedom.

YAyAPAI's TAXES.
Delinquent Taxes for 1889 Which
Are CoIlectablc.

Delinquent Taxes for 1889 Which
Are CoIlectabIc.
Supervisors Rowe and Haskell have
been overhauling the old delinquent
tax lists of Yayapai county, and have
succeeded in unearthing some Informal
ton that will prove interesting reading
to the citizens of the county who have
been diminishing from year to year to
keep their taxes paid up. When the
Journal-Miner man called they were
going through the delinquent roll of
1889, and found several thousand dol
lars of delinquent taxes which are col
lcctable. They are preparing list,
and action will be taken at once look
ing to their collection. In some ill.,
stances the taxes amount up into the
hundreds of dollars for the year, and
the parties against whom they are
charged are well to do and IN some
cases even wealthy. Sheep by the
thousands have been taxed, but the
taxes have been allowed to remain I'M
paid and no action has been taken APP
parently to force the collection. A
few cases have been found even where
the taxes on patented land have gone
delinquent and remain still unpaid and
uncollected, the land not having been
sold to either the territory or to indi-
viduals. The above year is not the
only one in which the delinquent list
is found in this shape, but instances
have been found, and several of them,
where no taxes have been paid for six,
eight and even ten years by some indi-
viduals, although their names appear
with religious punctuality each year on
the assessment roll. These individuals
will find it much greater burden to
pay now for several years at once than
if they had paid up each year, as the
board is firm in its resolution to force
the collection in every case where
property can be found to the amount
of taxes due. 1t is not fair to those
who do pay their taxes that some
should be allowed to escape each year.

a BIG HAUL.
The Express stage is Again Robbed
Near Riverside.

NV"h
Information was received here We'd
nesday that the stage from Riverside
to Florence had been again held up the
evening previous, about eight miles
beyond Riverside and within 200 yards
of where the robbery of December Goth
occurred. The highwayman pursued
the same tactics as in the first robbery
Only one man appeared, and after halt.
! ing the stage ordered the driver, Mr.
Golf, to throw out the box, and then
demanded the bullion with an assur-
ance that suggested a knowledge that
it was there. The driver reluctantly
complied, and the robber asked if there
was any registered mail aboard. Golf
informed him that there was lot of
mail on the coach, but that he did not
know anything about the registered
mail, and he was then ordered to drive
on. A moment later Golf heard q
shout and pulled up his team, when the
robber ordered him to drive on, that
he was not calling to him. This is ac-
cepted as evidence that there was n
confederate near by in the brush, and
it is supposed they had pack horse,
as the print of No. l horse shoe was
discovered
Sheriff Thompson and Deputy Penn
berton, accompanied by two Indian
scouts, started Wednesday night for
the scene of the robbery, where they
were met by Deputy Marshal Drais and
Sheriff Trueman, of Pinal county. In
order to elude pursuit the highwaymen
had obscured their tracks, and great
difficulty was experienced by the Off
GERS in finding the trail.
The value of the booty has not been
accurately ascertained. We are in;
formed there was little in the express
box; the two bars of bullion were val
ued ut 81, $50. Globe Silver Belt.

CAUGHT HIS MAN.
Deputy Sheriff Fairchiid Rearrests
Palmer, the Horse Thief.

DCputy ShtTlh he"TEcotS
Palmer, the Horse Thief.
The circumstances surrounding the
escape from the old county Jail of c..
M. Palmer, together with two other
prisoners, is doubtless still fresh in the
minds of our readers. The officers had
almost given up all hopes of catching
the man Palmer, when it was learned
that he had been seen in the southern
portion of the territory. Deputy Sher-
if Fairchild Immediately took up the
trail, and found that his man had been
in the Verde Valley, where he stole a
horse from n rancher named Purity
man, and which he afterward sold to a
liveryman in Payson, from which place
he secured passage on freight team
to Globe. Last Friday night at about
midnight the deputy sheriff overlook
the freighting outfit on the road be-
tween Payson and Globe. where they
were camped, and arrested his man.
The next day Fairchild returned to
Prescott with his prisoner, where they
took the train for Flagstaff, arriving
here Monday afternoon.
At Prescott Junction the deputy
sheriff thought to have a joke on his
superior officer, and had Palmer tcle-
graph to Sheriff Francis that he was
''footsore and weary" and would be
back on No. 4. Imagine the Sheriif's
surprise when he met his supposed
surrender" in the hand of his efficient
deputy.
Palmer states that after making
good his escape from Jail he did not
leave town Immediately, but refuses to
state who kept him under cover. When
he got ready to leave he stole the fine
saddle horse of John Weatherford, but
the animal broke away from him.
He then stole Purtyman's horse, as
stated above, the animal having since
been recovered and returned to its
rightful owner.
This man Palmer has cost COconino
county good deal of money since his
advent as ''bad man." and he will
doubtless be given a good long term in
the Territorial Penitentiary at Yuma,
now that he will have more than one
charge to answer fo,' at the next term
of court.

TIE LEAP YEAR PARTY.
A Most Enjoyable AFFAIR In Flagstaff
Last Friday Evening.

The most enjoyable affair OF the
winter season took place last Friday
evening in Powel's Opera house, when
the young ladies of Flagstaff gave their
first Leap Year party. 1t was an en-
joyable success from every point OF
view, and reflected great credit upon
the ladies. There were fully 100 peo-
pie in the hall, which, with its pictur-
cSque decorations, dazzling lights and
the beautiful combinations in color
seen in the toilets of the ladies, made
scene of great brilliancy and one
long to be remembered. There was a
slight degree of hardness in the arri-
val of the invited guests, but at $50
O'Clock the first waltz was begun by
the orchestra, which was stationed in
the east end of the large hall, on the
main floor. The music was lovely,
and all entered into the may waltz
with a light spirit and correspond
ingly light step. After several num-
bers on the programme had beea rem
dered, the grand march was announced,
which proved very interesting, as the
array of toilets was beautiful almost
beyond description. Jewels CLEANED
at necks and ears, bright colors in ka-
leidoscopic array glided to and fro on
the polished floor, pretty faces were
seen everywhere one glanced, and
every one wore look of satisfied con-
tentmcnt. Miss Della Powell acted as
leader Of the march, and directed the
dancers through the different figures
and evolutions in most graceful
manner. BY spectators who were
present, it is said that the grand march
was the most complete ever seen in a
ball room in Flagstaff.
Miss Mollie Beasley acted as floor
director, and was ably assisted by
Mrs. Ii. ID. Ross and other ladies of
the committee in charge. For the
nonce, the ladies held full sway, and
ruled matters with an iron hand. At
1880 o'clock allrepaired down stairs to
the dining hall, where a long table
fairly quaked beneath the weight of
choice viands. A small army of young
ladies acted as mattresses, AND an ex-
cellent luncheon was served. After
supper dancing was resumed until 3
o'clock, when the pleasant affair ended.
1t is hardly possibly to say too much
about the ball, as it certainly was one
of the most delightful affairs that has
ever taken place here.

Death of n Coast Pioneer.

Samuel Martinovich died in this
place on Monday afternoon. S. Mar

thence to Deming, N. NJ, and four
years ago he came to Flagstaff, where
he opened a liquor store, which bust

People who receive letters from the
Pacific coast in six or seven days az
mire the speed with which the mail
travels across the continent, but forget
that the present rate is not so much
greater than that of the "pony eN-
press" as might be supposed. The
pony express was the first through
route from the Missouri River to the
Pacific coast. 1t was established in
1859 or 1860 by firm of government
contractors, and the termini were San
Francisco and. st. Joseph. The dis
lance traversed by the pony express
was about 1000 miles, and relays of
Indian ponies were provided at station
houses every few miles. A courier
rode from one station to another, TAX
ing fresh horse at each and leaving
his tired animal, and when himself too
tired too go further, gave the mail TO
another rider and stopped to rest. The
distance was traversed by the police in
about seven aud onc-half days, or at a
uniform rate of about twelve miles an
hour. IL was the first through mail
between the Missouri and San Fran
cisco, and although the riders were
often chased by the Indians, compare
lively few fatalities occurred among
the messengers. r. Russell in the

Double Murder.

Further particulars have been OBJ
tanned regarding the double murder
Committed last Sunday South of here.
The trail of the murderers was followed
by Sheriff Onley. 1t went straight
towards Mexico and there were three
of the murderers. After going some
distance there were but two tracks.
Many think indians did the work.
The place of the killing is near the old
Indian trail leading from the San
Carlos reservation to Sonora. Others
think Mexicans did the killing and
left Indian signs on purpose to throw
suspicion from them. The man was
named Miller and the woman Morgan.
Miller was taking Mrs. Morgan and
the children to her husband at Globe.
They were travelling in four-horse
wagon. They were attacked at APPOINT
of rocks ip. the read, and the wagon
tracks show that they ran about 100
yards out Of the road to the place where
the bodies were found. The child was
badly bruised, but it was alive when
the posse arrived from Solomonville.
