Tucson, Ariz.. Feb. 2.-Last night news
came In from Msmmoth. sixty miles north
east Of here. that the Indiana we're on the
warpath. wednesday afternoon CLARK. a
prospeetor. while at work in the Bunker
Hin district. was attacked by four Indians.
Clark is an old Indian scout and knows the
country and Indians. He eAsily evAdsd his
assailants. Clark al once started for
Mammoth, twelve miles away. for rein
forcemsnts. Coming In be found the camp
of William Emerson, another prospector
looted clean of valusbles and food. Em-
erson was not found, and Clark believes
him killed.
Clark aroused the camp at Mammoth,
and was soon at the head OF party of men.
bent on capturing the Indians. Yesterday
morning second party followed them.
About twenty men are now on she trail OF
the Indians and their capture ia expected.
Clark is OF the opinion that the party is
either the Kid and his gang. OF a general
outbreak OF Apachss from the reservation.
Neither event would surprise him. He says
the scene of the supposed killing OF Emer-
son Is where the Kids party killed John
Diehl. six years ago.
On receipt of the news IN Tucson, word
was telsa aphed by Marshal Meade to Fort
Grant, with u request that troops be sent
there. The request will doubtless be COM

Pine Bluff certainly has the bicycle fever. The yomg men and boys have had it a long time, the girls and young ladies have just caught it.

 The pleasure attached to riding a bicycle is immense. It is a horse that does not eat his price in oats within a very few months. As im- provements are being made con stantly on these wheels, T rider of one of the old fashioned wheel is as much out of style as a lady would be who would wearold fashioned hoops.

The Rivals.

Dear, delicious Mrs. Malaprop! Sh' is an old friend. ever welcome aRf ever delightful-one to whose return
 we always look forward with greal l interest and whose welcome is mos1
 sincere We love Eer foi. her virtues and her faults; the former are many
 of the latter she hasiust enough. Tc follow her through Sheridans de
 lightful comedy, to listen to her fanN pas and to enjoy her discomfortures is q rare treat indeed.
 "rhc Rivals was presented last night by company strong in all its parts. It is unquestionably one oi the strongest cemedy companies in the countly,-every man and every woman ranking as a star. Naturally fhe production was compared with that of the lannon's Jefferson-Flor- ence-aggregation, and it is but truth tosay that he Drew Company does not suffer in the comparison.
 CT course. there is but one Mrs. Alalaprop. Mrs. Drew is simply in- imitable She k an artist from the tops of those elegant blue and white plumes to the tips of her dainty toes. Time has certainly dealt gently with her. The flow of her spirsts is spon- taneous and as eNuberant as ever and her every act betrays the true artist gifted hy nature and mellowed by experience It is natural to think that nobody else will ever be Mrs. Malaprop: brave, indeed, the actress who would try to follow in her foot steps.
 The severest test was naturally put to Sidney Drew's Bob Acres. Hehas one advantage over Jefferson, that of youth. and It is a big advantage in the handling of this role. In the first act Mr. Drew seemed to me to fan short of the expectations, but he grew on me and the duel scene pleased me more than did Jefferson's. And this is the pi. ce deresistance of the play Mrs sidney Drew was a beautiful Lydia Languiah; in thelast scene she made an exquisite picture. Mir Warner is an inimitahle Sir An thony Mr. Warmer is an altogether delightful Sir Iucius. Mr. Hanforl looked the handsome soldier. The other members If the sustain themselves well- Exchange.
