The members of the Pima county del
egation to the Republican territorial
convention returned yesterday with
moderated enthusiasm, says the Tucson
Star. They had intended to nominate
Fitch; If not Fitch, Stoddard, or any
body but Doran. Neither were they
going to disfigure the platform with a
gold plank. But the yellow moonlight
of intention and the garish sunlight of
performance paint things differently
Fitch wasn't in it, and Stoddard wasn't
far enough in to do himcny good. All
the support he could count upon in eau
Gus was: From Graham county, four
votes; Cochise, 10; Pima, 13; Yuma. 4;
and Yavapai To- The latter was di-
vided delegation. His actual vote was
SO, a falling off of three in Pima and
four somewhere else--it wasn't worth
while to question where as it would
not have affected the general result.

Miss Anna Schafer of Dos Cabezas,
with neighboring ranchman and his
wife, last week had somewhat startling
adventure. While looking for cattle on
the outskirts of their range, the three
rode up to a windmill, where the five
bank robbers had just killed beef
steer. On their approach the outlaws
fired a shot and waved them back, but
afterward beckoned them to advance,
and conversation ensued between the
parties. The robbers made no secret of

they had killed, and assisted them in
driving their cattle from the place. They

Tempe is undoubtedly the only place
in the United States which operates a
street car line that does not collect fares.
The line is owned by the Goodwin Bros,
and it has been in operation for about
four years. 1t paid for itself in couple
of years, and then the patrons got out
of the habit of paying fares. The car
still runs, however, and at a dead loss
to the owners, but they manage to keep
it going for the benefit of the public.
The car has no regular driver or conduc-
other end of the city takes possession of
the car, and leaves it for some one else
to bring back.-Republican

answer to the charge of 'aiding and
abetting'' the gang of outlaws who at
tempted to rob the International bank

called by the prosecution, but all failed
to identify the prisoner, except President
Dessart of the bank, who said that the
prisoner was one of the three men who
entered the bank while he was standing
by, the counter in the front of the build
ing. Mr.. Dessart identified the prisoner,
not by his face, but by his build and
walk, which, as well as his size, cores
ponded exactly with one of the men who
entered the bank. Judge Taylor did not
think the evidence sufficient to hold the
prisoner, however, and he was dis
charged. Mr.. Herrera would not swear
positively that the prisoner had entered
the bank, although he had seen the pris-
oner in Bisbee.

August, the day of the attempted rob-
berry, he was at the III. c." ranch, about
fifty miles from Roberts ranch, on the
San Pedro river. On the Sth he came to
the ranch to get a pair of boots for Jesse
