Double Murder at Duncan.

A double murder occurred at Duncan on the Doth of February.
 W. Stanford had considerable difficulty with Mexican named Ruiz over the location of an irriga- tion ditch. It seems that gang of Mexicans undertook to run ditch through Stanford's land without his permission. On Monday he warned them to discontinue opera tions and when upon riding out Tuesday morning he found them still at work, the fatal row began. It is alleged that Ruiz made move toward his pistol pocket, whereupon Stanford jumped behind a wagon near by and opened fire with a win chester. Old man Ruiz fell dead with bullet through his body and his son, who was one of the crowd, received wounds which produced death after several hours of suffer- ing,
 Stanford's preliminary examina- tion took place at Duncan. He was represented by Col. M.J. Egan and District Attorney Wiley Jones ap- peared for the people. Stanford disclaimed any intention of killing the boy, who he said got in the way.
 Stanford was held for murder in $20,000 bonds and was started for Solomonville at 12 o'clock Tn charge of special officer Chas. Wilson. Bart Tipton was driving the hack when fourteen miles out from Sol omonville and just after dark Stan- ford jumped from the open hack and made his escape. Stanford is 30 years old, six feet two inches in height, stoop shouldered, weight lS5 pounds, sandy complexion and light mustache. He came to Ar izoan five years ago from Texas.

Another Killing.

A most dastardly murder was committed near Roswell, the victim being a young school teacher by the name of c. s. Van Sickel. The young man was manager of what is known as the Zuber sheep ranch of Seldomridge & Pebbles, about thirty-fve miles north of Roswell. The body of the dead man was found by Fred S. Reyes and others hidden in a haystack, four days at- the murder. It is supposed that Van Sickel was either fired at through a window, or called to the door and shot.
 The officials of Chaves County have arrested three Mexicans who are charged with the murder. They had a revolver in their possession when arrested, and were spattered with blood. The Mexicans, whose names could not be learned, were found camped not far from the ranch. It is supposed one will turn states evidence. Excitement in and around Roswell and among the ranchmen is running high, and some favor lynching.
 The probable cause of the unfor- tunate, premeditated, surreptitious killing was that clique of Mexi- cans, under penalty of the law, were compelled by Van Sickel 10 return some stolen lumber to the ranch.- Albuquerque Citizen.

IT appears that Victor L. Ochoa, the Mexican revolutionist, is not dead as reported and generally be- lieved. The Albuquerque Citizen of the 2d inst. publishes a letter from Ochoa which was written to ST.

The following remarks from the Albuquerque Times on that Hey wood ite-down" of Arizona, are about the most sensible we have seen on that subject:
 That Mr. Haywood, with his few weeks observation, was in position to either write up or down Arizona, we very much doubt. In fact we have very little patience with the eastern newspaper that will send a representative to our territories to gather data, write up the country, tell all about the Pueblos, the Az tees, the Mexicans, the Americans, the intricacies of our politics and our fitness for statehood. and all within the compass of few weeks of fitting about from one railroad point to another. With all due re- spect for Mir. Haywood, we do not think he is capable of writing in- telligently about either New Mexico or Arizona. His observations must necessarily be of the most cursory character, his information gleaned from the men he meets: and of whose former lives, present griev- ances or fostering revenges, he can know nothing. It is dangerous bu- siness trying to write about New Mexico or Arizona, from "tender- foot" standpoint, and the newspa- pers of the east that send cores pondents out here are, as rule, unfriendly to us, and we are gross ly misrepresented in almost all in- stances. Let us work out our own salvation, dear eastern brethren, and attend to yourselves, to your own thugs, cutthroats and thieves, rapists, anarchists, incendiaries, etc. We may not be fit for state hood out here, according to your own criminal records, but with all due respect for you, we think you are meddling with affairs that are none of your business, doing your selves no possible good and are des- perately rufling the tempers of our people. We have correspondents out here of our own, who can give us all the "black eyes" that even you, were you our most relentless enemy, could ask for. Let us alone, and if we get into rows, let them be of our own making.

THE best place in Arizona for an observatory, says the Journal-Mln- CT, is on Mt, Union, twelve miles south of Prescott. The altitude is about 5000 feet, and there is an easy, natural grade for wagon road to the top of the mountain. The Journal Miner perhaps never heard of Old Baldy in this county which an altitude of between 13,000 and 14,OQ0 feet. It is not perhaps as accessible, but one can ride to the top from the south now with very little inconvenience, and road could be built with a small outlay of money, and there is never fail ing spring of the purest water on the top for the use of the occupants of the observatory.

Hualapai Clark, the robust ranch CT who recently caught the Apache Kid and his band in the act of stealing his horse, is in town with F. c. Mckinney. MT. Clark is a big, brawny, good-natured fellow who looks as if fighting Indians would be the most pleasurable oc- cupation in the world. He sincere ly regrets that a shot in the dark did not pick off the Kid in his re- cent encounter. He would have earned laurels as the exterminator of an Arizona pest, and he thinks he could find room in his wallet for the 5000 reward money. A pecu- liar circumstance is that the same horse was stolen by Indians about three years ago. It was abandoned and eventually returned to the raneh.-Enterprise.

THE following from the London
 Field will account, in part, for the decline in cattle in this country during the past year. The Field says: The cause of the great fall in the import of animals is not far to seek. The past year commenced with low prices for home-bred ami mals and, as the year wore on, the weather and scarcity of food forced upon the market numbers of imma- ture animals, and so prices fell to a low point. These prices prevented foreign and colonial bred animals being imported at remuneratiye prices. Indeed, it is probable that profits have nearly disappeared. The same cause has also operated in bringing about a considerable decline in the receipts of fresh beef. In both cases 1t is the United States supplies which have thus fallen off :; but, on the other hand, the receipts of fresh beef from Australasia are assuming considerable dimensions, the quantity landed from countries other than. the United States having risen from 127,750 cwts in 1892 to 318,1 ,106 cwts in 1893, other coun- tries in this case being chiefly Aus tralasia. The diminution of the number of cattle imported is 162,- 192, and the fall of fresh beef equal to about 38,OOO head, in all about 100000 head. But, on June 5, it is stated that the decline in the num- Der of cattle in the United King dom was 311,863. This was due to the drought; and, therefore, cattle were freely sold and, as the drought continued beyond that date, the number of cattle compelled to be sold must be beyond the latter num- Der. Therefore, although the i'm ports of beef were sos much lower, it is evident that beef of home pro- duce more than supplied the defi- ciency of the foreign and colonial supply. From home-fed sheep be. Ing also put on the market by force of circumstances, the number is given as 1,S67,984 below the total of 1892. But in this case the inn ports of fresh mutton were the largest ever known, hence it is again that the average price of colonial

MI. Dan Mccarthy and his clever COM
pany last night presented a new Irish com-
edy drama entitled 1.-THE Pride of Mayo" at
the New Opera House, before a good sized
audience. The play is from the pen OF MI
Mccarthy, and is a typical Irish one, with
the usual characters that are to be found IN
them all. There is the rejected sutton for
the hand of the heroine, whose schemlng
brings about the separation of the loving
husband and his wife, and causes no end OF
misery. Then there is the rollicking Irish
lad who sets every thing right, and a pretty
colleen, whose witty remarks and w1nson1e
WAYS illumine the entire production. Some
excellent scenery was displayed during the
four acts, the ruins of Abbey Moore, In the
second act, and the courtyard OF Castle
Conlon by moonlight, being particularly
fine. Mr.. Dan Mccarthy assumed the title
role of Dick Fitzgerald, and did very well,
although suffering with a severe cold. Harry
Minnici, as Felix Driscoll, the villain, was
excellent. His work was of a high order
his scene in the last act, while in the agonles
of remorse, being remarkably good. George
Earle, as Charles Dunn, and Charles Saund-
ers, as Paddy Clancy. were also very good.
Viola Armstrong made a very efective Sls-
ter Agnes, and Lou Ripley, as Molhe Nc
Guire, the colleen, did good work: Amy
Russell was a trifie weak as Lady May, the
wronged wife. The rest of the cast was fair.
1.-The Pride of Mayo" will remain at this
theatre for the balance of the week, includ-
ing matinee on Saturday.
Temperance Town is doing an immense
business at the Academy. Every night the
house has been crowded. Charles NJ. Hoyt,
the author of the play, was yesterday mar
ried to Miss Caroline Scales, who is known
ON the stage as Miss Caroline Miskel. The
wedding took place at the home of Miss
Scales's mother, No. SO West Eighty-eighth
street, New York. Judge Barrett of the
Supreme Court performed the ceremony.
Only the most intimate friends were present.
