Monday morning A. J. Darnell was shot and instantly killed by Frank Johnson at the 7UP ranch of the Erie Cattle company in Swisshelm mourn tains, about twelve miles north of Mud Springs. Immediately after the killing Johnston, who bears good reputation, rode to Bisbee, accom- panied by his brother, and gave him. self up. He stated to a reporter of she Bisbee Orb that Darnell on the preced- ing day had made him the target of vile abuse and threatened to kill him. Being engaged in hitching up team of bronchos and unarmed, he eotld not resist. Monday morning Darnelf hunted him up again and started to draw his gun, saying he would kill Johnston, when the latter quickly fired, killing Darnell at the first shot.
 Johnston was released on his own recognizance until the coroner's jury should report. Coroner Williams left Monday afternoon for the scene of ths' killing.
 Darnell is well remembered here, having on more than one occasion tried to terrorize the town. At Bisbes on July 4th of last year he shot at c. A. Overlook at the steer tying contest and deded the officers to arrest hins

DisloyaI New Mexicans.
From the San Marcial Bee.l


 Previous to the outbreak of the pres ent war it was stated in high official circles in New Mexico that the Span ish-American people of the territory were imbued with the most sincere kind of patriotism toward the United States and all things American, and that to raise an entire regiment of these supposed patriots would occupy very little time. Even Delegate Fer gusson lebored under this impression, and so stated both in and out of the halls of congress. But these descen- dents of a tyrannieal nation. while perfectly willing to enjoy the liberty and prosperity youchsafed them be- meath the protecting folds of the Stars and Stripes, have displayed an utter indifference to the claims of the American nation upon their loyalty. However, the shortcomings of the Mexicans in this respect have been more than balanced by the ready re- sponses of our American citizens to go to the front. This lassitude on the part of the people who outnumber the Americans more that two to one in New Mexico, should ever be borne in mind. First in war, first in peace, is our motto. This stigma upon their patriotism has been of their own mak- ing. To obliterate it will require the time spent in passing of many genera tions.

The sharpshootsrs.
From the Tucson Star.l

The Spanish sharpshooters have been doing most effective work in picking off our officers in front of Santiago. We do not hear of any American sharpshooters put up to match the enemy. This has led Capt. Kirk L. Hart, Of our city, to organize a company of sharpshooters for im-- mediate service. Arizona can furnish men who will do finer work than any of the Spanish breed. In ten days, it is believed, one hundred men will be ready to offer themselves to the war department for the special service of silencing batteries and decimating the rank of the Spanish army. Those who are crack shots with the rihe,. and want to match the Spanish sharp shooters in Cuba or elsewhere, will dc well to communicate with Captain Kirk L. Hart, at this place, at once. None but those who have strong nerves, are unerring shots, and want to fight need apply, for this company meaas business. They are going to the front. to do execution.

 There has never been a time in the history of Tucson when more kindly and cordial feeling existed between the citizens and the Southern Pacific railway than at present. This feeling is directly due to the excellent service the company has given the coinmunity. Recognizing the importance of the city in it's relation to the road and it's possi- bilities as the distributing point for a large and rapidly developing territory, the Southern managers have done much to nid in it's growth and improvement. This policy, dictated not only by self interest but equally by B broad and accommodating spirit, has developed 9 reciprocal feeling on the part of our citizens. The mutual friendliness of the people and the railway is'a cause for reorganization, and favorable augury for the continued prosperity of the city and, so far as Tucson can aid, for the road also. For this friendly and reciprocal spirit much credit is due Col. E. Randolph, the present popular and efficient superintendent of this division of the Southern Pacific road.

We gave them the best we could, killing num- bers of them and setting them to flight. l never shall forget the first ten min utes of the fight, and how the first bull let sounded as it whizzed by me. lodged, of course, after it was gone. But after few minutes I quit dodg- ing, and all attention was given to the orders which were obeyed. Capt.. O'Neill was just in front of us and he never crawled nor finched. He just said, Come on, boysl" "Fire low p' etc., and we came out with very near the same position we went in.
