 A citizen of Prescott in speaking of water supply for the city, yesterday stated that dam could be put in Will low creek, about three miles from Phes- colt, on the old Cook milk ranch, which would cover 2,000 acres with a lake and furnish present and future Prescott with all the water needed for all purposes. He stated that an abundance of water was to be had there at all seasons, and that it had never been known to fail.

TRAGEDY AT FORT BOWIE.
Jim Taylor, Would-be Bad Maj
 Brutally Kills James Smith.

About o'clock Saturday evening Zachary Taylor, commonly known az Jim Taylor, went to the house occu- pied by James D. Smith in old Fort Bowie. The door was opened by Will liam c. Reuss, who was told by Taylor to step outside. MT. Smith who was sitting at a table and in the act of lighting his pipe, called to Tay- Tor to 3come in," but Taylor fired two shots at him through the open door both pistol balls entering his left breast. Rising, Smith made two or three steps forward and grappled with Taylor, both falling fiat on the ground outside the door. With his left arm around Smiths neck, Taylor fired three more shots into his body and completed the killing. There had been no trouble between the two men and the act is considered to have been a cold-blooded murder
 Taylor had previously threatened tc kill Charles Gardner and MT. Fletcher of San Simon and belongs to the class of would-be desperadoes Though six or eight men were in the camp, Fay. Tor was allowed to escape, but a report reached town that he had gone tC Tombstone and surrendered to the au thorities. Judge Nichols and Con stable Howarth, on being notified O. the killing, went to Fort Bowie and al inquest was held. The body of Smit1 was buried in the post cemetery Wilcox News.

MURDERED NEAR YUMA.
Ghastly Find by Cocopah Indians of
 Knife-Slashed Corpse.

The authorities at Yuma are en- deavoring to unravel the most mys- terious murder in recent years at that place. The horribly mutilated body of an unknown man, evidently two days dead, was found at the foot of an embankment on trail one mile west of there Tuesday forenoon. The grue- some discovery was made by two Co., copah Indians, who belong to the band camped on the river bottom. They were walking along the trail when they saw the body of a man lying in a growth of willows. One of them came to town and reported the matter and the coroner and sheriff's men went to the scene.
 Across the mans head was bundle of blankets. His throat had been gnawed, presumably by coyotes, and a jagged knife wound showed the cause of his death. There were two deeI gashes on the back of his head, pro- duced. by some blunt instrument There was no indication of struggle and the theory is that the man was murdered and carried to the spot where found. His pockets were turned i inside out, and the right trousers pocket was torn and showed marks o1 bloody hands,
 There was nothing on his person tC identify the man. He was evidently bent on a prospecting trip, although from his soft white hands and lons
 ingernails it is thought he was { novice in that line. The officers brought the body to the court house and the people turned out en masse t

CONGRESS, Ariz., Dec. 9.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- Is this camp booming? Well, no; not booming.

" The lecture was most entertaining, scenes from life behind the stone walls being cleverly portrayed by MT.

The different phases of convict life were shown to advantage and those present were delighted with the inter- esting and instructive lecture.

FELL TO HIS DEATH.
Mr.. Bussard a Young Farmer was
Thrown From his Saddle Whilst
Driving a Team Down the Noun
tain and was Crushed to Death
Under the Wheels.

Whilst driving a six-hOrse-team from
his home near Harmony, this county,
on his way to Frederick last Thursday,
the 8th inst, Mr.. David Franklin Bus
sard met with fatal accident, which
resulted in his almost instant death.
He left his home early that ~morning
and was driving quietly along near the
farm of Nh. George Dinterman, when
from some inexplicable cause his lead
ers became frightened at some object
and became unmanageable. The other
horses also took alright and started at
full speed. Mr.. Bussard tried his best
to manage the frantic animals, but in
vain; their speed increased and the
heavy wagon rafting and jumping
over the ruts and stones behind them
only seemed to make the team more
thoroughly wild and fractions and sud-
denly without warning the horse upon
which Mr.. Bussard was riding swerved
to one side and the unfortunate man
was dashed to the ground. His head
was crushed and broken by the force of
the fall and he only lived few min
utes after assistance reached him. He
was removed to the home of Mr.. Din
terman and expired before his relatives
could be appraised of the terrible calam-
ity. Mr.. Bussard was one of the most
progressive farmers in that section and
was held in high esteem by all who
knew him. He leaves wife and one
child to mourn his sad and untimely
death.

Thursday certainly was an honored
day in the number of distinguished
visitors at the Fair Grounds. Governor
Lowndes did not arrive as was expected,
but each train brought hosts of promi-
nent visitors from Baltimore, Wash
ington, Philadelphia, Hagerstown
and other places. Bands of music con-
stantly discoursed strains of sweet mu-
sic and the crowd was a jolly good
natured one. Very few fights were no
ticed on the grounds. The fakirs piled
their trade to great disadvantage as the
people were on to their little game.
On account of the great pressure on
our type supply this week, we cannot
give as mech space as we would like
to the Fair, but next week we will
give the complete premium list, or as
much of it AS possible.

CENTURY RUN.
Nearly 425 Wheelmen Make the
Trip from Baltimore to Fred
erick and Return.

The century run of the Baltimore
and Frederick wheelmen came off in
great style last Sunday. The town
was literally alive with wheels. Nearly
$50 starters left Baltimore and about
425 finished within the prescribed time
of Is hours, thus emitting them to the
silver medal of honor. The Frederick
boys left here on Saturday night, at 10
O'Clock, and came in about o'clock
on Sunday afternoon, not apparently
much the worse for wear. The riders
came in IN small detatchments and af-
ter hearty dinner and wash up were
ready for the return trip. Several ladies
were in the party and they seemed to
stand the journey better than some of
the men. The weather was cold and
disagreeable and the run was made un-
der many adverse conditions. 1t was
the largest century yet made in this
State.
