When train No. 8 came in, about

J: Gray, alias Sam Wells, and J. G.
Smart, alias G. s. Starr. who was ar
rested for the theft of $4,000 from the
express wagon at Cripple Greek April
Ii, and who recently, in company with
Tom Mccarthy, escaped from the Jail

Arizona has ~, 600 white people and
%, 900 red people among her population.
She seems to have almost as much trou-
BILE in deciding what to do with her red
men as South Carolina has with her
black men. In his last message Govern
or Hughes recommended that the In
dams be encouraged to take up farming,
but they could not do this unless the
land should be irrigated. Arizona's best
outlook for the future seems to be in
her gold mines, which yielded twice as
much in 1894 as they did in 1898.

A Hermit Dog.

Midway between Upper Sandusky and

vacant log cabin, No other house Is near
it. and It stands not 80 fest from the state
road. The cabin is the abode Of dog, in
appearance a cross between bulldog and
q hound. For years this canine has hung
around this tottering howell, and nothing
can attract him from 1t. Several attempts
have been made through curiosity to at
tract him to other abodes, but In vain:
He visits neighboring farmhouses for sus-
tenance, but he returns to his own accepted
home invariably. Some Is years ago q
family occupied the cabin and moved to
some neighboring city. It is not known
whether they had dog, but likely they
did. He Is likely awaiting their RETURN.

Financial Situation Unsatisfactory. .y
The financial situation here continues
to be unsatisfactory in spite Of the ct.
forts Of the imperial bank to bolster up
the finances Of the Turkish empire. In
fact, bourse business here Is almost en-
