Mrs. Mary Wentworth is a Ne mesis who followed at a safe dis tance, but eventually overhauled her victim. Yesterday she procured the indictment of J. B. Pauley for rape, said by her to have been com mitted at Wickenburg four years ago. The exact date ofMr. Pauley's $ larceny of all that she held most dear, her womanly virtue, Is fixed at July 10, 1889, fact which goes to show that Mrs. Wentworth is either a woman of tenacious mem ory or else in making her complaint had resource to a diary in which she transcribed the m ore important and stirring events of her life. Any how, MT. Pauley has been indicted in time to prevent a bar of action by the statute of limitations. He was arrested yesterday and released under bond of $5OO.-Arizona Republican.

The Peralta land grant case is to be tried before the U. s. Land Court now in session in San Francisco. This land is claimed by Reavis, through an old Spanish grant which he claims falls to his wife, she be- ing the alleged great grand daughter of the Baron Miguel Peralta de la Cordova. The Los Angeles Herald says, however, that Those who op- pose the claim of the Arizona bar. oness assert that she is the daugh- ter of a squaw by man named Treadwell, a good d-for-nothing fel- low who used to loaf around Wood land. When the daughter reached sufficient years she served as maid of-all- work in the different families of the town. When she was about Is years old, Reavis came to the town from Missouri, and falling in love with the dark skinned maiden, he married her."-Courier.

The Silver Belt says Judge Rouse adjourned court for the term this morning, which action will meet with very general approval, as the term has been productive of very little. if any, good, and has been heavy expense to the county. We are lead to surmise that the Judge considered it was impossible to se- cure a conviction at this term. Three cases for cattle stealing and illegal branding were continued.

Sam Hall while en route from Tonto Basin to Mesa camped Sun day night over in the Superstition mountain near the Salt River and about twenty miles from Mesa. In the evening after going into camp he discovered an eagles nest in a tree near his camp. Late in the evening the old eagles, two of them, came in and showed so much pug nacity, that Mir. Hall concluded to move camp a little farther away. Monday morning, however, he de- termined to investigate, by chop ping down the tree in which the nest was situated. He was com pelled to shoot several times at the old birds to flighten them away during his operation. The result of his effopts was the capture, from the nest, .of:two baby eagles, which brought down with bim, safe, sound and alive, and exhibited them at the Free Press office. The female the smaller of the two we measured and it measured from tip to tip six feet and eightinches. Considering that these birds are simply chicks unable yet to fly, we think they are some for size. They are the genuine American Bald Eagle and Mir. Hall says the old ones are monsters. The nest in which were the young ones was eight feet in diameter and would have been quite a prize could he have brought it with him in his cart.-Free Press.

Deputies Shot Down.

Scott White, sheriff of Cochis, county, came in yesterday iron Tombstone on business. He gave the following account of the shoot iEg of two deputy sheriffs at Stein's Pass, New Mexico, recently: One day last week at Stein's Pas: the till at Bandits store was robbed of about S900. Three Mexicans were apprehended and charged with the holdup. Constable Schutz en, listed the assistance of J. P. Ownby and with alight spring wagon start ed for Silver City with the prison CTS. Ownby and the constable sat in front and the three Mexicans be. hind. When about twenty miles from Silver City one of the Mexi- cans struck Ownby powerful blow with his handcufed wrist, and siez- ing his gun leveled it at Schutz be- fore he could do anything to defend himself and put five bullets into his body. The horses ran and both Ownby and Schutz fell out of the wagon. The prisoners succeeded in breaking their handcuffs and started off with the team.
 One of them, a young fellow, slipped away from his two compan- ions and walked into Silver City and gave himself up. Ownby came in shortly afterwards and is in the hospital there in a critical condi- ton. The country is being secured for the murderers. The trail leads south and they are supposed to be making for Sonora.
 The names of the prisoners were Ramirez, Anala and Sena. After killing Schutz the Mexicans drove on toward Silver City. Among Anala's effects was big file with which they succeeded in filing the handcuhs apart. Sena, who was sentenced to a short term Ill jail concluded that be did not want to go on with the others, and jumped out of the wagon. They drove on at a rapid rate and reached Silver City before 9 o'clock in the even ing.
 Just as they came in sight of Sill yer City they stopped the wagon took out the horses and rode into town horseback. They were seen by at least a dozen people between 9 and II o'clock, and several peo- pie noticed they acted strangely They did not dismOunt in the busi- ness part of town, but sent to two saloons for whisky and to a restaur ant far sandwiches. They rode ur Bullard street, the main business street of the town, and either lost or threw away the file with which they filed the handcuf5 apart Arizona Gazette

It is a very poor man in this sec- ton who does not own a mining prospect from the sale of which he expects to realize snug poor mans fortune. These expectations are braced up by transfers like the re- cent sale of the Gladiator mine, near Prescott, for s70,O0O, the sale of a mine in Minnehaha Flat for $25, 1000, and lesser sales, while every now and then a mine is sold for figures ranging up into the hun dreds of thousands.

On Sunday night Christina Chris tiansen, whose ranch is not far from Fairbank, died in great agony. She was taken with spasms while her cousin, A. Yendreson, was with her. Assistance was sent for to Fair bank, but before it arrived she was dead. Her last words were, "Take care of my children" The peculi- arity of the case aroused suspicion and an inquest was held upon the body yesterday by Justice Duncan. No verdict was rendered, but the body was brought up to Tombstone and a post mOrtem examination held. Dr. Hamilton this morning discovered unmistakable signs oi poison in the stomach of deceased, and the coroner'S jury will convene again in the morning to complete its examination into the cause oi death. The testimony before the jury did not show that deceased had tired of life or had any motive in destroying herself. She com plained of pains in her head and chest before dying. It is probable that arrests will follow the coroner's inquest.-Prospector.

It has not been unknown to the readers of the Liberal that ". B. Foster of Stein's Pass was not alto gether reliable. Lately circum- stances have arisen still further proving this to be fact. Recently when some cattle were being ship ped from Lordsborg T. R. Bandit came down from Stein's Pass with some thirty cattle that Foster had turned over ts him to be sold with the others. Most of the cattle were in Fosters brand. Some were not. Inspector Classen asked where these cattle came from, especially one branded with J. P. Byron's brand. Bandit said he knew nothing about the matter, Foster had turned the cattle oyer to him saying he owned them and had made a trade with Byron for that steer. Knowing Fosters reputation Inspector Cas- sen wrote to MT. Byron asking about the matter and got an answer say ing he never had sold a steer to Eos te and wanting to know who he was. Foster then said the matter was a mistake. Another mistake made on the same shipment was the turning in of an old steer with out any brand. This steer was re- eognized as one belonging to Presly Johnson and was turned loose. There were several other cattle that were not of Fosters brand, one be- ing of J. A. Slaugbter's brand and Inspector Cfassen has ordered that none of these outside brands be paid for until the owners can be communicated with. Mir. Bandit was not interested in the matter at all, simply delivering the cattle for Foster.-Lordsburg Liberal.

r.,,.sa claims $4,000 .sss. q Ws.. Virginia
TaEItsry.
A suit. instituted BY the State Of
Maryland, is pending in the United
States Supreme Court to have settle
ment Of the western boundary between
West Virginia and Maryland.
The claim Of Maryland is that her
boundary extends to the head spring
Of the south branch Of the Potomac,
while the claim Of West Virginia is
that the boundary is along the north
ern branch Of the Potomac. The an
swer traces the colonial history Of
Maryland and Virginia from the year
1905 to the present time. The original
description Of the boundary was that
il followed the Potomac river to its
first fountain, and hence the dispute
as to which branch was meant. The
answer says the river was surveyed in
1876 by commissioners to establish the
boundaries Of the Fairfax grant and
the north branch was determined to be
the Potomac; and in 1746 the Fairfax
stone was planted at the head Of that
branch.
1t is said il Maryland should succeed
in establishing the claim set up in her
bill in the suit it would cut the State
Of West Virginia in two parts. The
south branch or the Potomac heads in
Highland county, Va, and the claim
Of the State Of Nd. istorun duenorth
line from the south branch to the Pa.
line. This would take off all the Co.
Of Mineral, nearly all Of Grant, those
parts Of Hampshire, Hardy and Pendle-
ton lying west Of the south branch and
4 considerable part Of Randolph, Tuck
er and Preston, embracing an area of
500, 900 acres of land, worth several
millions Of dollars and containing a
population Of thirty or forty thousand
persons, and would destroy the au-
tonomy Of the State Of West Virginia,
leaving that portion east Of the south
branch completely separated from the
other part Of the State.
