What the Papers and Others Have to Say of DOings All Over the
 Big Territory.

Hon. deO. h. Davls, the new as sociate justice for the first district, arrived in this city last night by way Of the Santa Fe route.

 Now mark this prediction. When all the pie is gone, and there are no more official plums to be had, there will be an ominous silence for a time, then there will be low growls, then little louder, and then the gennine squall of the hungry panther, for his hunger will get beyond control, and his disappoint- ment simply awful; then there will be but one remedy, and that will be to break out and go to bowling for bloom. It will come, it always has in the past, and it has everywhere, and human nature is about the same yesterday, taday and tomorrow = Tucson Star.
