StOlc Them Poor.
IRaupA News. I

hdnge NSWS.I
 It is well understood that one of the leading firms of cattlemen in Pima county has closed out it's stock because of the persistent depredations of Pap ago Indians. It is equally notorlous that several stockmen Tn the Gila val ley in Graham county have taken sd- vantage of good opportunity to clean up their herds because thieves took so large 6 percentage of their increase that the business had become unpro- fitabIe. To such an extent was mayer ick-hunting practiced in that locality that 8 boy is represented as having refuse ed to work for wages, alleging as . reasoh that he had branded eighty mavericks in the preceding season and that paid better than working by the month. There being only two good sized herds left in that district, it is now an open question whether the calf stealers will prey on each other or dis perse to other sections. In the event of thGir adopting the latter course, they may happen upon communities that will deal less lenientfy with them.

A Pleasant Party.

A very pleasant party was held in
 Armory hall last Monday evening. The active participants were the young folks, but very fair sprinkling of thelr elders were present. The affair was or. ganized by Misses Madge Creaghe and Jessie Scott, and the two little misses displayed rare executive abilities for their years in conceiving and pushing the affair through to success. It was an apron and nscktie party, and each little mss came decorated with high ly ornamental apron and carrying . securely sealed envelope containing g necktie to match. The chance feature, however, was considerably eliminated by the business cards on the outside of the envelopes. One Of the young man. agers of the party was fortunate in having big brother, who consented to act as floor manager on this occasion, and MT. Gerald Creaghe performed the arduous and perplexing duties of mas ter of ceremonies in a graceful and hap py manner. Several of our citizens, with their families, lent their presence in encouragement of the young folks. A pleasant feature of the evening was the debut of the two little Misses Ruiz and the two Misses Creaghs. Dancing was kept up until 12 o'clock. Among those present were Sheriff and Mrs. Crsaghe and family, Miss Annie Creaghe, Mrs. Sers6n Apodaca and family. Miss Elvira Apodaca. MT. and Mrs. Alfred Ruiz and family. Mrs. Lena Perez and family, Captain and Mrs. Walter G Scott, Mrs. PolonIa Colomo and daughters. Mrs. Slaughter and Mrs. Chester Paddock.

The Arizona GovernOrshfp.
Washing ton Times

lWasnlnRt0n Times
 The opposition to the appointment of the Presidents friend, McCord. to be governor of Arizona, seems to be con- fined, as far as the Territory is concer- ned, to Benjamin J Franklin, the Cleve- land governor, who wishes to hold over, and hls attorney general, one J. F. Wilson, who is in washington fighting MT. McCord's confirmation in his sup erior's interest and his own. MT. Will son appeared before the Senate Com mittee on Territories this morning and asked for trmer presenting the some what remarkable spectacle of . Demo- cratic minor official leading the fight against the first important Territorial nomination made by the new Republi- can Administration, and one in which the President is known to take 8 deep p ersoDal interest.
 As NIT. McCord's confirmation will un. doubtedly follow the favorable report of the conmi ttee, Mir. J. F. Wilson (if he is here, as the New York World charges, at the territory's expsnse) will be speedily out of job. In this emer. gency The Times takes the liberty of suggesting to him that he devote lit tle leisure to the study of the serious charges now on file in the Interior De partment against this same Governor. Franklin, to whom he owes his present office and in whose interest he is here. These charges are clear and explicit, and not disproved. go far toward just flying the recen official declaration of the lower house ofthe Democratic leg. istature of Arizona that Gov. Franklin is thoroughly unfit and incompetent individual who ought to be removed at ones

Don Cruz Rubi. of this place, who was taken with very severe attack of pneumonia about three weeks ago, we are glad to announce, is now considered out of danger. Mir. Rubi is within 8 few months of being seventy years of age, and it was thought he could not survive. Dr. Craig, the attending phy- sician, is to congratulated on his suc- cess with this case. but he modestly ascribes the recovery to the favorable climate and MT. Rubi's strong consti- tuition, which made recovery possible in spite of his advanced age.

SHOOTING SCRAPE.
Charley Thompson Shot in 8
 Quarrel with John Gibson.

A serious shooting affray occtrred in the southern part of this county, about g 9o'clock last Tuesday morning. the Sth inst, in which Charley Thompson, . well-known stockman, of SprIr gervilIe, was seriously, if not fatally, wounded. The particulars of the affair, as near as We can learn, are as follows.
 It seems that Thompson had differ ence with another COW man named John Gibson some days before, regard yearling calf which both claimed. On the morning mentioned, Gibson and Thompson met, both being on horseback. Thompson demanded of Gibson to know "shat he WAS going to do about that yearIipg?" Very few words passed between them before Gib- son drew his six.shooter and began firing. The first shot passed through Thompson's right wrist and on into his body, entering just above the naval, the bullet coming to the surface imme- dlately behind and just to one side of the spinal column. Gibson commenced to back away. but still kept up his shooting, and after emptying his pistol drew his Winchester and fired three shots from it. One of these killed Thompson's horse.
 Immediately after the first shot, and knowing that he was badly wounded, Thompson still protested against any more shooting, but thought that they could adjust the matter without further difficulty. Gibson answered not word but continued shooting. Thompson fired only one shot, and that was after Gibson was some distance awsy, and thls with the fact that his right hand was partially disabled by Gibson's first shot, caused the bullet to fly wild.
 MT. Pauly, who was in the camp at the time, made Thompson as comfort able as possible, and then started for this place to secure the assistance of surgeon. He arrived in St. Johns at noon on Wednesday, ,and returned, with pr. Craig, almost immediately for the scene of the trouble. An attempt was to be made in the meantime to remove the wounded man to Springerville.
 Gibson, who did the shooting. lives near where the matter occurred, has a few stock; IS about thirty yearseld, and is married.

The attorneys of Theodore Durrant

The attorneys of Theodore Durrant again appeared before Judge Gilbert in the United States Court on the Sd inst. and applies for 8 writ of supersedeas for the purpose of staying executing of the sentence, but this has denied by the court. An application for leave to appeal from this decision to the Su- preme Court of the United States was then made and granted. Although it is not an open question whether, in view of the denial of the writ of super sedeas, this order of the court acts as 6 stay of proceedings. Attorney-Gen- eral Fitzgerald wired to Warden Hale to take no actioh Tn the premises pend- ing the appeal. As the United States Suprems Court does not meet again until October next, this virtually means 8 respite for six months at least.

There were many strange things done by the late Tin Horn legislature; another has come to notice. It was the attempted amendment of statute passed in 1887 and which was repealed in 1893. A piece of legislation which would be about as effective as putting a live graft into dead tree, it won't catch on. This is only another evil dence of the dense ignorance the ma jority of that herd of stupid boodlers. Star.
