No stock is taken by the territo- rial papers in the reported killing ol Robinson and Logan by Indians on Tiburon Island, and nothing but the most convincing proof of his death will lead to the belief that the recent story of his killing is not a fake of the fakiest kind. Robinson's reputation in that direction is decidely against him. This lncredulity and doubt as to his death. so generally expressed, will do much toward taking the edge off the sensation Robinson may hope to create by setting a re- port a foot of his killing. The only way he can redeem himself from the charge of fakerism now laid against him, is to get killed in earnest, but we wish him better fortune.-Tucson Citizen.

The new machinery in Gardiner's mills was set in motion last week It is very complex and is of the latest design. Its capacity is 15O barrels day, though at present it will be run at only 100 barrels. A feature of the machinery are the dust collectors, which render the atmosphere of the mill at all times perfectly clean. Another apparatus throughly separates all dust from the grain so that absolutely noth- ing but pure grain passes into the rollers.-Republican.

A. Humphrey. formerly a Flag staff sheep man, has purchased the water that runs from the Hayden grist mill and will convey it to land below Tempe. There are HOO in ches of this water, which Mir. Hum-
 phrey will use on old cultivated lands below town. He has also purchased three hundred acres of land and will engage in farming.

This will give an abundance of water on lands that heretofore have been short of that necessary fluid.-Arizona Gazette.

In the district court yesterday some irrelevant judicial remarks were volunteered touching the re- liability of modern newspapers. That's all right. They sometimes do make mistakes in spite of every precaution, but they cheerfuliy cor rect any inadvertent error next day. When legal mistake is made, how ever, what happensP Why, the noble jurist takes an appeal to the supreme court of the state or terri tory and then goes on up to the United States supreme court. When all other efforts to maintain the error are exhausted, application is made to the President Or Govern or for a pardon in order to restore the wrongdoer to citizenship. But the party in error never owns up that he was mistaken no, never. That's why we sometimes think it is better to be fallible newspaper man than an infallible claimant to legal omniscience. These remarks are made more in sorrow than in  anger, and, with all their faults. we admit We love both judges and lawyers still. Only they never are and never will be still, confound 'em. -Phenix Gazette.

A big forest fire has been raging in the Little Chiricahua's, beyond Fucker for the past week. The dense smoke is plainly visible from here. The fire is supposed to have broken out from the camp of a par ty of "bug hunters" who were in that section, and who moved camp to Fort Bowie last Sunday. Much damage is being done to valuable timber, but no ranches are in the vicinity of the fire that will suffer. Unless rains come the fire will simply burn itself out as there is no way of controlling it by other means than heavy rain.-Sulphur Valley News.

fields cleaned of every weed, seed and

nearly every other troublesome weed
or plant are eagerly devoured In ad-

field is sufficiently extensive, are NUT
ton fat when they come to the barn.
None but the experienced sheep man
knows what an advantage such flock
has over one which comes in late from
off short, frost-bitfen pastures They
are fully one-lhird wintered, and the

A FAMILY OF FrEAKS.-Jason II! rs
of Muuson's, Pa, died on Friday He
was only laboring man, but was wide
ly known as the father Of the oldest
family OF children OF which there is
anywhere any record. They are
seven in number. The eldest, boy OF
is, has IS fingers and Is toes. He has
Z fingers on his right hand and 6 on his
left, and : toes on his left foot and 6 on
his right. Next TO him is another boy,
lG wears old. As long as this boy is
quiet, no one would suppose that there
was anything unusual about him, but
the moment ne opens his mouth to talk
he loses all control OF his hands, arms,
feet and legs, and they jerk and thrash
and kick around as if. they were hung
on wires. The boy is as slow of speech
as his limbs are active, and, in answer
ing simple question, it is no uncom
mon thing for his legs to have carried
him rod or more away before he is
able to articulate yes or nc.
The third child is girl, who is q
uUuCUDuCh anu IL u " till i'llt II II Nfil =
old. A boy next to her is deaf and
dumb. The fifth child has bright red
birthmark encircling her neck like a
strip of red flannel. 1t is an inch wide.
The other two children are twins, ,
years old-a boy and girl. The boys
head is covered with dense growth #
hair, while the girl has not the sign of
hair upon her head, her poll being as
white, bare and shiny as a billiard ball.
The girl is fat and the boy lean. When
the boy cries the girl laughs heartily,
and when his little sister is merry the
boy yells and sheds tears, so that one
of them is laughing or crying most Of
the time
Every one of these odd children is
healthy and bright. Mrs. HERS is
fne-!ooking woman, and upto the time
her husband was injured !; week ago
by falling tree he was sound physi-
cally and mentally. He died from Tie
effects OF the accident.
