 It is hoped that the different clubs throughout the territory will co-oper- ate with the Phoenix club in their endeavor to suppress the illegal kill ing of game One thing 1 should like to speak of-the impression that evidently prevails, that Indians are not amenable to the law. This is not the case as an Indian as soon as he is off the reservation is amenable to our laws. This fact has been dem onstrated in the most of the states and territories and I cannot see that Arizona is in a different position. On his reservation the Indian has his own laws and we cannot interfere with him, but he cannot trap quail on the reservation and sell them when off of it, as our law states that the fact of a person having quail in his possession is evidence to con- vict. Our district attorney has eX- pressed his willingness to prosecute all cases brought to his notice, con- sequently tjhere seems to be no req son why we should not soon make an end to all illegal killing of game

Sunday night, in which Charles Scott shot and killed w. H. Letsinger about 2 o'clock in the morning, over a game
 of cards. Both men worked in this place with the painters gang on the
 new depot, and Letslnger, the man
 killed, was known as William Short.
 It is reported that Scott, who did the
 shooting, passed through this place
 going west on No. 1, Monday morning.
 Scott is about 35 years of age, weighs
 from 155 to 165 pounds, about feet
 inches high, thing brown hair, small
 dark mustache, large scar on left
 cheek, wore brown clothes and a black
 slouch hat, and has a 41-caliber re-
 volver on his person.-Winslow Mail Sometime last spring City Assessor Frank Treat made an agreement with ranchero that he would furnish ev-
 erything necessary for crop of beans. ! but the needful rain and this the party of the second part agreed to
 see was forthcoming if prayers availed anything. MT. Treat provided the land, the blow and team and enough i frijOles to warrant the expectation of a good crop. The ground was titled i in time and the sbeans planted, but the | rain came not and despite the prayers and protestations of the party of the i second part the plants withered on 1 the ground and bore no fruit. As Mir | Treat carried out his half of the agree
 ment and the Mexican did not, he ! thinks that probably be has a good cause for damages. The man claims l that he prayed daily for rain wher
 rain was needed, and as none came he
 should not be held responsible, bul 1 ought to be paid a little extra on hi: lost work-Tucson Citizen.
