left with only about 90 cents in circula- tion, and within an hour S5 cents of this sum was in the tills of the saloon keepers. Posses wero started out in different dircc- 'tions, but the banker had n long start and :maintaincd it. An indignation meeting was held Saturday night; but, except be- ing indignant and wanting to shoot some body, nothing was accomplished. As near as can be learned, Mir 1our'- .-, | away with about Sa,0G0, q lr..i"n Dt N...,'h wa city funds, and the town ard it's people arc practically bankrupt.
 Although we have a LlrCr list of sub. Rcrihcrs in I4onc Pine, W" cannot extend our symTathiCs. All of two months 2,rN thcrV wCr' rumOrS to tlr GisCrVdn vf the hank. We had $500 on deposit over thvr, and one day walked into tine inG.itut ion tU check it out Mr. Young blandly informed lis that he Was busy with his h'OGs auI asked us to cal! q gain.

A committee of our citizens visit the bank every Saturday afternoon to sec how things tally, and the banker was long ago satisfied that he couldn't get out of the county ahead of his dcpoSitors even if he had wings. We arc wild and wuolly in this section. but we arr on to most of the banking tricks and other little games. REORG RGANIZED.-Monday evening, ac- corling to notice published last week, a public meeting was held to rCorganizc the vigilance committee and put it in good working order again. Twelve of our lead ing citizens volunteered to servo for ono year, and from among them wcro elected a president, secretary and tr@Lsurcr. For tho l last oght months not man has been hung in this town, and during the last four not warning notice has been sent out. The result Is just what might have been I looked for Our town has again become 1 tho headquarters of bad men, and there is a general disposition to override law and order. At the meeting referred to we handed in the following list of persons who would mako good hanging material: I Arizona Bob, Kansas Bill, Thundcrholt 1 Sam, Mormon Jack, RattlcSnako Bill, | Bowie Knife Jones, Rip Shorter Grcrn and ] Grizzly Hank. Mir. Fowler, president of 1 the committee assures us that the case of l each and every one of these individuals l will be promptly attended t", and in caSC 1 of all hanginSS we shall be on hand, as 1 hcrrtofOrC to record confessions and last 1 wishes and make things as pleasant as | possible.
 1 SOMEWHAT MIXED.-Fur a month past l the leading citizens of Pino Hill have been anxious for Us to como over and make q l public speech in favor of the railroad Ques 1 tion. Tuesday afternoon wo rode over and | received q warm welcome, and at S o'clock in the evening wa took the platform in the town hall and began speaking to a crowd of about 400 yComen. We arc still good deal mixed up as to what that crowd OK. pccted of us From what we could gather some of them supposed VIC wcrc going tC read a poem on Napoleon, others wanted to know what about Christopher Colum bus, others yet demanded political speech, l and tho gentlemen on tho back row oi benches stood up and checrcd for high li ccnse and a better brand of whisky. We | were naturally moro or less embarrassed moro, VIC think. When we thought wC knew what tho assembled multitude want cd, we tried to give 1t to them, but wC frankly admit that our efforts wcre a fail
 urc. Wc had come thcre to submit fact: and figures on the benefits of 6 railroad tC Pine Hill. but we were not permitted tC give them.
 We did mako something of q hit by switching of tho railroad question ant bringing up tho question of admitting Ar izona to statehood but the crowd sooT grew weary and showed its displeasurc 1T the usual way. We don't suppose that any one actually fired q bullet at us personally or that any of the missiles flying about wcrc intended for our private usc, but stil
 we felt somewhat aggriCvcd at having tC l disappear through hole in the platform and creep from under the building or hands and knees. There was so much en
 thuSiaSm that a number of men mounted
 their CayuScS and followed us two or three
 miles uu cur WAY home, and those left be
 hind wrecked the hall before they left it
