The fire boys did themselves proud al
the annual inspection yesterday after
noon and 10 the evening had most
enjoyable time. Refreshments were
served at tbs engine house and the boys
and their guests had most enjoyable
time.
ID was learned this morning by the
Sheriff g officers that short time ago g
murder was committed at Albuquerque,
the victim being we'll known to the
police of Phoenix. Last summer a Jap
anese called at the sheriff's Office in this
for his sister who had departed from
the city that morning for the north
with a white man and that she had TAX
en- with her a large sum Of money be-
longing to the brother. Word was sent
to Prescott and when the woman end
her companion reached that city she
was taken from the train by the Off
GERS after most desperate re-
sietsnce. The woman was brought to
this city and her companion followed
her, At the trial it was shown thst the
money taken by the woman wss her
own and that her arrest wac only for
the purpose of preventing her from 60
ing away with the white man. The
couple again left the city and after
travelling around for while settled at
Albuquerque, where shors time ssgo
the man killed the woman with q piece
of lead ore tied in a handkerchief, and be
is now serving q long sentence in the
psnitentiary of that Territory.
For come time past rumors have been
current throughout the country that
the railroad shops would be, epropos of
the transfer of the Arizona and Sonors
to the Southern Pacific, re-
moved from Tucson 10 Bsneon. This
silly report had q depressing effect on
simid souls and was the occasion for
many inquiries at this Office. Newspaper
men are OF course, expected to know
and whether they do or not,
bhey generally play full hand in that
direction. To all corners comfort and
was loosely measured. Ii
of the unending stability OF |
the old town was needed they certainly |
GOT il e5 this office, but to make assuF-
sncs doubly sure the writer, yesterday, |
Interviewed Col. Epos Randolph, super |
ntendent Of the Ell Paso and Tucson !

hat such thing as the removal OF the
shops to Benson was the "veriess non
sense" 1.-THE shops would mott he said.

port sf1oat originated without the faint !
