 IA hold-up of two working men on the s. P. near San Simon by Mexican highwaymen was reported to the sheriff's. office, and from description given of one of the Mexican robbers the authorities here are of the opinion that the leader is none other than the fiend who committed the assault and attempt to murder on Mrs. Wasson and son near Hereford some time since, of which the Prospector read CTS are cognizant. Steps have been taken to apprehend the gang if pos sible and deputies are now on the trail.-Tombstone Prospector.

When they started for home her husband | became bewildered owing to the un- | even grade of Twenty-third street. and wandered into the city jail and ! locked himself in, leaving the other i little dog on the outside, and the 1 poodle caught cold. MT. Gettle has 1 been confined to his room ever since i with rheumatiOm, but his wife is making no kick as to him.-Flagstaff | Sun-Democrat.
 A short time ago J. c. Snow, an old time Chino valley rancher, sold out tiWith- the intention of returning to re- | side in Arkansas, the home of his boy hood. But as the time drew near for him to leave Arizona his heart failed him and he bought another and bet ter ranch in Chino valley. The ranch was purchased from William Rhodes, and is said to be one of the best ranches tributary to Prescott. Five thousand dollars was the purchase price. Seventy acres of the ranch are now in alfalfa, from three to four crops of alfalfa are cut from this ranch each season. The ranch is To- cated thirty-one miles north of Pres cott.-PrescOtt Courier.
 A few days ago Fred Layton and
 John Hill, Sr., had a small sized "scrap" in Ollerton's saloon at Thatch- CT in which one of Fred's thumbs was partly devoured, and John had his
 cheek and mouth scratched. There
 were no witnesses, and Fred had Hill
 arrested on a charge of assault and
 battery, and he was lined up before
 the portals of justice in Judge Fon-
 da's court on Tuesday night. As Messrs. Layton and Hill were the only
 eye witnesses, their testimony was all that was considered by his honor
 and to judge from their conflicting
 statements the court decided that they
 were both so busily engaged at that
 particular time that the optic nerves
 of each were somewhat deranged
 and therefore each thought he was tell
 ing the story straight. After listen
 ing to the statement of both the judge
 found that they had both fractured
 the peace and dignity of the territory
 of Arizona and fined them $5 each.
