Indicted for S.tbel

c. ". Pugh was indicted yesterday by the grand jury of Cochise county for criminal libel
 lie is the proprietor of the Sulphur Nalley News, paper recently started for campaign purposes. In his anxiety iu vent his spleen on rival paper he so icited correspondent from Tombstone, and found willing tool in the person of the chairman of the Republican central committee, A. L. Grow.
 The latter, who is we'll known as a "pscullar" individual and a coward at heart, wrote the most abusive and lying mess Of stuff for publication, in which our most respected citizens were slinderel. The yilest epithets were hurled at tbem in mabne- that could only emanate from one who is totally void of manly instincts.
 Fearing that the law ar d the people whom he was outraging would, if he were discovered, give him his inst de- serts, he signed his foul mouthed ut terances Straight Goods"
 Nothing that might be said of him could place him in more despicable light than this cowaTdly manner Of stabbing his victims and hiding be- hind an assumed name.
 In the course of his ungrammstical rambling he saw fit 10 attack the ed itor of the PBosPEcToR. For several weeks he followed up tirads of abuse Of one from whom he had accepted many iavors, and who never cpoke of him or to him but in the most respect ful terms.
 But, alas, we were mistaken in the man. He was using the cloak Of friendship 10 stab his best friends.
 Two wrongs never made a right, and the PKosPECToR will return good flr evil and drop the curtain on this old mans past life in Tombstone. There are ample laws to protect the citizen without resort 10 personal violence. Alter patiently waiting for A cessation of the attacks from these two conspIrators, in self defense the matter was placed before the grand | jury. and in less than ten minutes after the first witness was examined the jury, by ballot of l9 10 l, found true bill against Pugh for criminal litel.
 We do not believe this young man | understood the enormity Of the otiense the was committing in publishing | such delamatory utterances, which the law makes him the party liable for.
 Grow kne1 that his position was g safe one, ani he could not have eyened up with an enemy in a more unrelent | ing manner than he did when he pulled this misguided and jealous young printer into the vortex which Is swallowing him up.
 IL was not until thIs morning ,ha the guilty conscience of this mar haunted hiu in tJ q confession.
 was with sigh of relief tha those wnO have been assailtd by hin learned that reputable men who ha'
 been suspected were not guilty.

CAMP AIGN ON.
Party Congressional Cam
paign Committees at Work.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-With the close
OF Congress the managers of the Con-
gressional national campaign committee
are preparing for the fall campaign
with much energy. Senator Faulkner,
at the head OF the Democratic committee,
is directing his efforts toward holding
a Democratic majority in the House OF
Representatives. Extensive headquarters
in operation with the executive work are
in charge of Secretary Lawrence Gardner.
The work thus far has been in preparing
full statistics Of the districts, writing the
campaign book and in circulating docu-
ments. The campaign book is about half
completed. IL will he a volume of about
800 pages showing the work Of Congress
and the reforms claimed to have been
made in the department service. 1t will
be furni h d e speakers as text for their
efforts on the stump. The statistics
gathered are the most elaborate ever un-
dertaken. They show only by counties
for the last four congression elections,
but in close districts the figures are
carried out to townships, wards, and pre-
cincts. In addition 70 the commercial vote
a system OF percentage has been adopted
by which the percentages of gain neces-
sary to success or loss threatening de-
feat, can be exactly determined. Campaign
speakers will not be sent out by the COM
mittee, as each Congressional nominee
will be left to secure his own speakers.
Many of the Congressman arranged a sys-
tenn of exchanging speeches, by which
they visit the district OF their friends and
the latter reciprocate. III, however. a
weak spot is developed, where speakers
are few, then a national committee will
undertake to supply the orators. Docu-
ments are being shipped in large quanti-
ties, but the main supply, particularly
on the tariff, will not go out
until Congress has adjourned
and all uncertainty on the question
has been removed. The Republican Con-
gressional campaign committee in the
absence of Secretary 0lds, who is in Chi
cago, is in charge of Assistant Secretary
Thomas Mckee. BY the decision of the
Republican National Committee the Con-
gressional campaign is left entirely in the
hands of Congressional Committee Chair
manManley acting In an advisory capacity
The headquarters force Is now engaged in
preparing the campaign text book, which
Captain Mckee expects to have issued by
Sept. l. The committee has had its head
quarters continuously open from Nov.
last, and since that time has circulated
100000 pieces of campaign literature. This
work will now be pushed with even
greater diligence. The committee fur
nishes matter for a page each week to
several plate printing establishments and
press associations, which is said to be in
demand by newspapers all over the coun-
try. A complete canvass has been made
OF every Congressional district in the
country.

Been HERE TOO.
A Clever Confidence Woman Who
Worked "CIassmate" Snap.

The clever confidence woman who has
been operating in Hartford, Springfield
and Worcester, representing that she was
the sister of an old Yale graduate,
and succeeded in obtaining money
from his so-called acquaintance on the
pretext that she had lost her purse and
railroad ticket, did not visit this city in
her travels. She came to grief in Hart
ford where she was arrested last night.
A week ago Saturday night she entered
the store of well-known busi-
ness man on North Main street.
She was tall, well-dressed, with dark hair
and sallow complexion, and had quick,
nervous manner in gait and conversation.
She inquired for DR.. Palmer, saying that
he was classmate OF her brother at Yale.
She wanted to know If he was an agree
able, good natured man, and she
was informed that he was affable
and sunny tempered when occasion re-
quired. The gentleman went to connect
with the doctor by telephone but was
unable to do so. She was restless and
excited and finally mentioned the name OF
dnOlntr Duslucss man Wuo WAS hiSo hoi
brothers classmate. She was directed to
his residence and proceeded to the house.
The lord of the manor was confined to
his room by rheumatism. She sent word
that she was "Mrs. Hedgis of Montana" :"
the wife of his classmate at Yale. The
maid gave description of the caller,
which did not coincide with that of Mrs.
H., with whom Mr.. I. was well &C
quainted. She did answer the description,
however, of the confidence woman who
had worked the same game on the presi-
dent of an insurance company in this city
to the tune of $40. She gave the name OF
Mrs. Alexander. the wife of his classmate,
and he good naturedly relieved
her financial distress. Mr.. r..
directed the maid to order the woman out
OF the house. She refused to bulge until
she had carried letter TO him explaining
her position, but its tone was additional
proof of her character as a swindler. She
finally retired in high dudgeon.
Her second trip TO Hartford was pro-
ductive of a sharp check in her adven-
turous career. She is As years OF age. She
managed to relieve a Springfield citizen Of
s15 and a Hartford sucker of $40. Ii was
the latter who found that he had been
victimized and she was captured in the
Hublein hotel.

A BAD ACCIDENT.

The first accident that has occurred
since the electric cars started to run in
Pawtuxet Valley happened at Crompton,
Saturday evening. Isaac Riley was
going home, and attempted to alight
from the car while in motion. He was
thrownunder the rear car getting his right
leg dislocated and his foot almost taken
off. lie was attended by Drs. Legris and
Windsor, but they thought it advisable 10
have him taken TO the hospital in Provi-
dence. He was carried to Providence in
hack. IT Is doubtful IL his leg can be
saved as it is badly crushed.

MORE BLUNDERS.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.-Importers
and merchants here claim a serious blum
der has been made in the tariff bill.
Under the proposed law cocoanut oil is
admitted free OF duty, but copra,
which Is the raw material
OF which the cocoanut oil is manufac-
tured, is subjected TO duty OF 30 per cent.
Copra is the raw sundried product OF the
cocoanut and cannot be used for any
other purpose than making cocoanut oil,
which is chiefly used in the manufacture
OF soap.
Copra isn't prepared and cannot be used
as a dessicated cocoanut and has been duty
free. Many firms here have united in
teegraphing protest to Washington
urging correction of what they believe
TO be an error, being made through ignor-
nnce in the articles being footed.
