J. V. Brighton or Brayton, as he spelled his name while posing as a detective in this part of the Lords vineyard, claims the credit of eff. tecting the recapture of Chris Evans together with Morrel] who aided Tn his escape. An Examiner repor- ter interviewed the gentleman a few days since in San Francisco, in which interview Brighton made himself one of the most clever de- tectives of modern times. Accord ing to his story he broke up the James gang in Missouri, then came to Arizona and was instrumental in breaking up the Clanton gang in this county. He claimed while de- tailing his many daring achieve ments, to having killed Ike Clan ton and Lee Renfro, two of the most notorious and interruptions of the gang of desperadoes which infest- ed the southern portion of this coun- ty some eight or nine years ago. It is true that he did kill Clanton, but he did not kill Renfro. In fact Ren- fro IS very much alive to-day, and is still wanted Tn this county for murdering Isaac Ellinger, one of the most harmless and inoffensive persons we ever met. Another fact MT. Brighton carefully suppressed is, that Renfro is nephew of Brigh
 toms wife, which is probably the cause of the false report being put in circulation. Blighton's story of the killing of Clanton, as told in the Examiner, does not tally with the story told by Brighton and Miller, who was with the redoubta- ble detective at the time of the kill ing. Their story then was that Clanton on seeing them, immediate Iy wheeled his horse and tried to make his escape, when Brighton shot and killed him, of course hit ting him in the back. Now he says that Clanton pulled his Winchester but Brighton was too quick for him. When he first came to this county

An Unseen Enemy

Is more to be dreaded than an open and visible one. That subtle and lurking foe, which under the generic name of malaria manifests itself, when it clutch es us in it's tenacious grasp, in the va- rious forms of chills and fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague or ague cake, can only be effectually guarded against by fortifyIng the system against the in- sidous attacks with Hostetter's Stom- ic Bitters, thorough antidote to the poison of misasma in the system, and a safeguard against it thoroughly to be relied upon. In the event of mala- rious attack, avoid poisoning your sys- tenn with quinine, and use instead this wholesome remedy, unobjectionable in taste and far more efficacious than any drug. Use the Bitters for dyspesla, con- stipation. kidney complaints and rheu- matism,

and for some time afterward, in fact until Lee Renfro had to flee the country to save his neck, Brigh- tons house was as much headquar- ter's for the gang as Clanton's resi- dence. George West alias "Tex," one of the worst of tho gang, was his partner in the blacksmith busi- ness. Any member of the gang, or any one with a shady reputation, had the freedom of Brighton's prem ises, and had 1t not have been that Lee Renfro had to quit the country we doubt if Brighton would ever have developed into detective. His method is the same in every in- stance. He worms himself into the confidence of outlaws and then be- trays them. The result is beneficial to the community at large, butvery few, indeed, approve of his method. There is no manliness or bravery in it. Our word for it, he will leave tho scene of his recent exploit inn mediately, as he. did here, not hay ing the courage to rcmain for fear of the friends of the man who, ac- cording to his own story, he be- trayed.

UTTERLY

Just now is one of the times when
the conscience of the nation shows but
slight symptoms of activity in the pres
ence of a great national disgrace, and
Congress appears to be agitated the
least of all. The charges against the
Senate at present being investigated
are comparable in gravity with those
which threw France into an uproar a
year ago.. Yet there is no indication
that Congress realizes the situation.
There are no symptoms of a sensation
at Washington, says Farm and Home.
This indifference to public sentiment,
or ignorance of it, has been a feature
of the present session of Congress, and
a phenomenon which has astounded
the people. The matter of-fact way in
which accusations of wholesale bribery
are received consequently helps to fix
the belief that Congress takes little
note of public sentiment. The absence
of any great surprise on the part Of the
body polite, and of violent agitation,
is then more readily accounted for.
The people have piped and Congress
has not danced. Congress has gone its
own way and the voters of the country
are doing a mighty lot of quiet think
ing, which is going to turn things up,
side down in 1896. A gloomy silence
preceding a national election in the
United States has come to mean a
storm which will overwhelm some,
body. Greater economy in National,
State, county and township govern
ment is imperatively needed in these
times and woe betide those who are
responsible for official extravaganza in
either quarter.
