All the Talk Is of the Tucson
 Meet

The Phoenix racers are all in Tue son, except Kibbey, who will leave to- night. The Tucson boys created the Phoenix boys properly, as they came to Maric0pa and meL them. escorting them to Tucson.
 The Andrae racing team are very much worried, as up to date they have no racing wheels to ride, but if they ride the road wheels and win it will be a big ad for them.
 There will be as large number of wheels of different makes ridden in the races at Tucson as there is at any National meet.
 S.eator is sure of the half mile coast record and if he gets it the first day he will go for it the second day IL is hoped he will break it each day.
 E. L. Andrews & Son will be agents for the Crescent bicycle for Arizona. It is good grade wheel and they are sure of success with it.
 The Phoenix racers are pretty sure of getting away with some of the firsts at Tucson, as Evans. the Tucson flyer. is not going ito race.
 The mile championship lies between Brown and Long of Phoenix and Hartwell of Tucson. The one-third mile will be a fight between Lowell and Robinson if Phoenix gets it. Kibbey? I can't say, but he won't always be last.

ANOTHER INDIAN KILLING Reported Murdering of a
 Family. GreWSome Pleasant Valley the
 Scene. The Tale Brought to Phoenix by Cowboy Jake Meadows of
 PdySOn.

Jake Meadows, brother of the we'll known wild west snowman, Charlie Meadows, arrived in Phoenix Sunday evening from Payson, the little town on the northern border of Gila county. He brings startling news, which. how ever, is supported iby his personal statement alone.
 His statement is that Perley Ellison and family were murdered by Apaches in lower Pleasant valley nearly week ago, stating that the news was current in Payson before he left. Ellison at the time of the murder was on his way with his wife and two babes to the ranch of his father in Cherry Creek valley, there to celebrate Christmas. No particulars were given as to the mode of killing.
 The elder Ellison lives less than twenty miles from the line of the White Mountain Indian reservation and it was from his ranch the sher- ifs posse started that killed Nan weeks ago. The elder Ellison is a well known frontiersman, and was for a term supervisor in his county. For over a month IL IS KnOWG ne QaS been apprehensive of an Apache raid and has fortified his house with that idea. His household consists of two un- married daughters, young ladies of To- cal renown for expertness with the gun and in outdoor sports and of several cowboys. The ranch is that generally known as the Newton ranch, formerly having been the property of George Newton, a well-known Globe jeweler who was drowned in Salt river about four years ago.
 If the killing has been done it must have been by the Indians of Cooley's camp, where Nan-tan-go-tayz was shot, or by John Dazin's band, both ot which are at home along Cibicu ant Canyon creeks, within a range of forty miles from Pleasant valley. They were much incensed over the killing ol their sub-chief and settlers nearby have been expecting reprisals iron them.

 The ways and means committee met at il o'clock today to take formal steps toward the preparation of a revenue bill. Thirteen members were present The discussion did not reach the ques- ton of plan which would be brought in, but was confined to the policy of having congress remain in session which. as outlined by these dispatches, had already been determined upon by the Republican leaders.
 It is understood 10 be the programme of the leaders to present the bill to the full committee the day after Chrisemas 5 and perhaps bring it before the house the same day.
