DiabolioaI Torture.

TOMBSTONE, Arizona, March 21.-The In
dams have always been known for their devil
sh ways Of torture, but it has remained FOR a
band Of Mexican bandits to cap the climax.
Dutch Henry's band of horse thieves
raided Henry Withers ranch, on Carritt
river, recently, driving away all his stock.
Withers started after the band single handed,
and succeeded in shooting down three of them
from ambush before they discovered that only
one man was pursuing them. They succeeded
in capturing him as he was trying to get away.
Death was his sentence, but shooting was
too easy death. Withers WAS taken out on
the net sand beds and left to lie naked for six
hours, fully exposed TO the suns rays. This
was not enough, and he was then carried,
still nude, TO bed Of cactus bushes, where
he was laid on the sharp points. lie was
bound tightly to a stake, and then a large ant
hill, which was near, was torn open with
sticks and be was left TO his fate.
The insects swarmed ont and over Withers s
body, and within two hours he was dead from
their bites. The ants did not leave him alone,
however, until every particle Of flesh was
eaten from his bones.
A prisoner OF the band was taken where
he conld witness the whole affair, and was
afterward turned loose and told to tell the
people that that would be the future punish.
nent Of all who tried TO Kiln a member Of the
hand.

An Aztec Town Found.

PHOENIX, AR1z.. March PA party of
Mexican laborers. while diggingin the extern
sion of the Santa Cruz Canal, came upon one
of the strangest of the old Aztec cities. Ihey
struck the first ruin in cutting through the
desert about twenty feet below the surface,
where it had doubtless been covered up by
sand storms, which are very severe here IN
the summer Everything about the old bulid-
ings had been wonderfully preserved, owing
to the alkali in the sand. The first building
consisted Of a triangular structure about 300
feet in length aud 200 in width. The root,
which had, doubtless, been matched, had
eayed in. but the wooden pieces by which 1t
was held together were sound, although put IN
thousands Of years ago. They were pulled
out of the old wall, aud are on exhibition at
Tucson In the building was stone trough
about the entire width, and made in sections,
held together with a kind of cement. There
were eighteen bodies in the building, all OF
them of medium size, and their flesh was
mummifed.

10 Lhe Demoerat!e Adyoeate.l


At the last session of the Legislature three
districts, Freedom. New Windsor and Union
town, petitioned for restrictive liquor license
laws, which were granted them, and the result
has been so very satisfactory to every one
concerned. An earnest desire Is manifested
for no change IN these districts, the present
arr lngement working SO admirably. Inc
remainder Of Carroll county is still subject
TO the old law, but now the present Legisla-
ture has under consideration high license
law for the whole county, thereby abrOgat.
ing the provision made for the 'hree districts
Drmed above. aud which latter provision Is
most opposed by the residents OF those dis
trcts. Wooiery' asks for local option which
is refused them, and the high license been
offered as a substitute Delegate Selman, Ia
his communication in last weeks ADVOCATE
says ''the people OF the district had a chance
TO vote upOn the question at the last election,
which certainly Is not the case, and to con
found the fact of the Prohibition candidates
being on the ticket with the question OF local
option, is entirely unfair and unwarrantab!e,
as 1t had nothing 10 do with the question.
1t seems certainty most reasonable, before
increasing the rates, as the present bill pro
poses to examine more into the favorable
workings of the present restrictive resula-
tons of New Windsor and the other districts,
in which the object sought for has been
sustained, the radiance Of nuisances and
more orderly sober communities. This was
our object not more revenue by taxation, and
it is entirely unfair to place the county hotels
in the same category with those of a city,
like Baltimore as it is as much as they can
do now to hold their own and keep up such
good accommodation as viii induce outsiders
10 come and rus'icate. Therefore 1t IS very
unjust to contemplate higher licenses than
now in operation. Moreover, the idea Of home
rule seeus to prevail amongst the citizens
Of the various districts as thoroughly as it
does in Old Ireland, and why the idea should
meet with such opposition by the present
,ciion Of the Legislature is not understood
