 Pugh is now reported to be in Ken tucky recovering from brain fever, con tracted, doubtless, through inordinate scheming how to skin the stockmen of the territory.

Th. Mesa Murder.

From the phGnix Republican,
 The inquest upon the body of Andy Grant, the hobo found dead at Mesa on Tuesday morning, was cont nued yes tesaay before Justice Pomeroy. Noth- ing especially new was developed in the inquisition. It was plain that Grant had been murdered. It was shown that Eugene Daly, Henry Steele and John Riggs, who were arrested on Thursday night, charged with the mur- der, went to strawstack'in the rear of Jones' winery where the tramps were sleeping who had bested them the night before. Grant and another hobo whose name is not known were pulled out of the stack and set uponby the young men under arrest, and sever al of the youth of Mesa. The tranlps. were already almost incapacitated by frequent drinks of Mesa wine and the still more deadly Mesa brandy. They, however, according to David Terry, put up good fight and Terry believes if they had been sober they could have successfully withstood their assailants. At length one of them fell from repeat ed blows upon the head with beer bottle. He lay as if dead. The other continued fighting, but was finally battered down. He rose again and ran and stumbled toward the haystack in the rear of the winery. This was Grant, whose body was found the next morning. It is not probable that g killing was contemplated. The young men, who bear a fair reputation in Mesa and are quite we'll and favorably known-in Phoenix, evidently intended only to redeem the lsurels lost in the fight of the night before. They were not texpert anatomists, though, and had no means of knowing how many and how hard blows with beer bottle 8 man could stand and live.

The Courier is reliably informed that the Southern Pacific railroad company is systematically importing it's section hands and railroad laborers from Old Mexico because they will work cheaper than Chinese. These men are said to be supplied by Tucson mercantile firm and the men have to buy all their goods from this firm. The Mexicans recently shot and killed on the railroad in Yuma county are some of these i'm ported laborers. So far, no further reason has been given for the killing of these men than they went on a strike. Along the line of the 4. &P. Mohave and WHlapai Indians are em- pioyea as section men whenever it is possible to get them. because theg win work cheaper than white men.

Mayor O'NeiIl returned from his Grand Canyon mines last evening. He brought with him couple of garnets as big as walnuts, blasted from 8 granite ledge in the Grand Canyon, at depth of 5000 feet from the surface. The Navajo Indians prospect ant hills for these garnets after heavy rains. The ants bring them to the surface and the rains wash down the hills and ex- pose them.

An Accounting Demanded.
[From Ind GIohs siluer Relt


 It appears that Chas. w. Pugh, late secretary of the live stock sanitary board, has not yet rendered an ac- counting for the funds received by him ; his claim being that by an understand ing with the former chairman of the board he was to receive all the fees for brand recording. "This may serve to explain to cattle owners" says the Range News, why their certificates from the county recorder should have been, almost without exception. def cient in some point, requiring the pay ment of 50 cents or $l to render them eligible to entry"
 It will be remembered also that stockmen who sent their brands to Phoenix to be registered, when using the same brand on cattle and horses were required to pay separate fee for each, although Sec. 51 of the revised stock laws, in reference to fees for re cording, will not bear such coustruc tion. The legal fee is 50 cents and in many instances Pugh exacted $I. The fees pocketed by Pugh must have amounted to several thousand dollars, and the money collected from the sale of strays will probably aggregate al- most ns much more. Did Pugh ap- propriate that, too, to his own use? Very '.r5 little of it, at least, has been ac- counted for, the deRasn7ds of owners of strays having been ignored.
