A Lone HighwRyman Holds Up . Party
 of Six Men Near Town.
 \ team left town this morning en route for Verde Station, having on board J. W. Jackson, as driver, and MeSsrs. Peff, Shinge, Ross, Jay and F. X. Garrett, as passengers. When they reached the Point of Rocks, a man with a four sack over his head and trusty Winchester in his hands, gently asked that the boys elevate their hands. This was complied with in the usual nasty manner people are noted for under such circumstances, when the lone high wayman commenced his work of putting goods. wares and coins on the free list in a manner that would make the average democrat blush with envy.
 Each man was held up for all he was worth, and the robber secured 8 little over Sl50 for his labor. He was very modest in his disposition as far as it could be shown but al the same time he was resolute and determined.
 The team proceeded on it's jour. ney. and later Mir Jackson returned 10 notify the officers of the occur renee and also to swear out a com plaiDt, which he did before Judge Fleury. Deputy Sheriff Potts was sent out Co the scene, but up to tho time of going to press nothing hA' been learned from him. This Is the first hold up to take place in several years in this section, and may b, considered somewhat of surpris, iu the amount the robber received in view of the duli times that ar, heard of on every hand.

The Fascination of Prospecting.


 Prospecting is fever-a mania which grows on one as does the habit of gambling. which it resem- bles, both being games of chance. The ''knack at hoping" snd the ex- citement induced by the hope keeps alive many men to-day, whose hair and beard are as white as the snow on the mountains. Once a prospector, always a prospectOr, unless strike is made that will keep the lucky one in affluence the balance of his days. Then, ofttimes, the riches from one mine but serve to dig unprofitable holes in the ground, of which the only product Is hope. And then one lucky strike one man made rich in few months. How many men does fl cause to shoulder a pick and shovel, tramp all day over the mountains, sleep on the cold, hard ground at night and eke out precarlous exist ence as a prospectorl It is seldom that the man who discovers the mine takes the money. It Is the man with gold and silver in his pocket. who comes afterwards. In uinety-nine cases out of one hundred he man who makes the money IS not the man who "hoofed' it into 30 new mining country, but the man m1a who, a few years later, rides into town in a palace car. Few pros pectors get rich-fewer save jAeIr riches. The prospectors life is not an easy one-'tis simply a happy one.-Ex.

 slays Woman.
 \ frightful tragedy was enacted yesterday afternoon, ten miles from Jerome, on the new railroad, in which Bob Parsons cut the throat of Bohemia, a Mexic n prostitute, with whom he had. until a few days ago. been living. The particulars are very meagre, but enough was learned, previous to the departure of the stage, to show tn t the crime was one of the most fiendish aud cowardly ever to occur. The victim, a few days ago, discarded Parsons and stealing upon her, as she slept in tent. he almost severed her head from her body, and then, with that demeanor for which villains of this type arc noted. quietly walked away, and, incidently, stated what he had done.
 Parsons name will be recalled by many Prescottites who knew him as only a drunkard and good tor nothing man, who has slumbered in jail half 8 dozen times on as many charges, for his utter worthline,s and auarrelsome disposition. { Deputy Sheriff Roberts ilnme aiatvly arrested the murderer and has him m custody at Jerum, awaiting the arrival oG Deputy l Merritt who left this evening.
 The deceased woman was but 2 years old, and had been in JeTon, for some years.

RELLIoERENr SOLDIER
He Fires on his Comrades Rather than
 go tO Jail.

" Nt SA
 The usual quiet and peace that reigas at Whipple, was broken last night, and for a few minutes a re petition of the Indian days in hustle and activity was in order It was caused by the mutiny of Private Braun, of Company G, who refused to go to the guard house and backed up his unwillingness by pulling down on one of the seargents with a rife. He then retreated to the vicinity of the grave yard and when a detachment was sent to capture him, a shower of bullets met their advance. or course these defenders are we'll trained in military manouvres and seeking the rear of pine trees, prayed fervently for "Blucher or night" The whistling bullets soon attracted the attention of officers and a whole company was soon in marching order; but they were cautious, and as darkness was fast coming their advance was somewhat slow. Braun took to his heels and to the hills, and the troops returned. Later, at aboat half past ten, Braun again advanced on the garrison, but he was cooled otf, con- siderably. and surrendered to the guard, and was then put in the guard house, as was originally in- tended he should be. He had been drinking considerably during the day, and just being released from the hospital was in a bad condition all round. He is also known as a crank, when enjoying the best of health and among his comrades has a bad reputation for his overbearing disposition. He will probably regret his nasty and uncalled for conduct and a court-martial will probably be the calibre of his offence in fit ting sentence. The affair it is said caused a great deal of excitement and the whole garrison was active in preparing for duty.

 J. W. Jackson and F. Haas, who arrived from Jerome this morning with the remains of Bohemia, the woman slain by Parsons, give a somewhat extended account of the tragedy and events which transpired subsequently,.
 They say that the woman was most brutally and cowardly mur dered there being eleven wounds on her neck and four on the body any one of which would have been fatal. The weapon used by Parsons was long butcher knife. After beng brought to the camp, a mass meeting was held and had it not been for a few friends interfering in his behalf, a good l,n thing would have taken place, the meeting being almost unanimous to that end, the rope being cut and other prepara tions made to carry 1t out.
 Parsons was sober when he com mitted the deed and freely acknowl edged his guilt to everyone, but giving no reasons therefor. He Ii now en route to Prescott in charge of deputy sherilfs, and 1T not inter fcred with, will arrive some time | this evening.

Young Morris had been living with the
Tokers for several days and he pretended
to be friend Of the old coul le. Yesterday
afternoon he came to the house and with
out warning shot and killed TOker. He
then ransacked the house, taking $50 in
money and two silver watches. On his
way out he encountered Mrs. Toker, and
thinking to cover his crime he opened fire
Oh her. Two bullets entered her breast,
and she fell unconscious to the floor. Nor

man named Halfbill was riding horseback
from the scene of the tragedy when be

dismount Halfhill refused and Morris shot
him twice, infiicting serious but not fatal
wounds. Morris is hiding in the noun
