 Lee is a most desperate character anG the officer had some tronble in
 bringing bis charge safely home While on the train, Lee made Gn attempt tO escape and succeeded ln jumping from .he train, ,not.iths:ani- ing he was haDdcuffed and shGck!ed. The constable was weariej from fonr days and nights travelling, and will. dosing, in two minute rsps, l. wa. quick to take advantage ani during 4 favorable opportunity, about one
 o'clock at night, got of near a station

 caught by the nigh.watchman of the
 city. The train proceeded but li.ile
 distance before Vaughn discovered
 the escape and stopping the train was
 soon on his trail. The officer vas

 prisoner in tow. Lee spraiued hi- ankle in jumping from the train and
 still suffsrs from his futile attempt to break fer liberty.

OPENING OF INDIA MlNTS
How 1t Will Affect Tombstone
 and the West.

The opening of the India hints is now subject of much discussion by the press Of the country. In the plan Is ten the hand of the gold bug who makes this compromi,e to temporari- ly satisfy and shu. off the free silver "shriekers."
 The idea is to reopen the India hints on the basis of g to ], which makes silver worth about so to S5 cents a ounce, It is hoped by so doing the l6 to or legal ratio advocates will become sufficiently sppeased to cease contention.
 Itis argued, that many of the silver mines of the west can work on so cents per ounce With the ra,io fixed 1t a stationary point the price of siive, would rot Huctuate and mining men would be satisfied. The compromise of P to l, if established by opening the India mints On that basis, will start nearly all the silver mines Of Colorado, Nsw Mexico and Arizona. Tombstone would again b3 a grea: camp, and the half loat would be accepted by 30 many that l. te long time before the present legal ra'i, of I6 to l would again be sD strongly demanded as to require further con- sessions on the part cf the gold standard men.
 The compromise may be accepted and l. looks az i. things are gradually coming our Way. Time will yet bring l6 to l but ii 9 to is given now, the west including Tombstone, would ex- perience q touch Of former prosperity.
