School Election.

Ai the school election held last Satur- day, March 9, in both tie school dis tricts of this place, the following per- sons were elected to the office Of school trustee, 10 serve for the ensuing three years:
 District No. 1.-The election was held in the court house, and the total num- Der of votes cast was II, all being for Captain Ben Schuster, the only candi- date.
 District No. I1-Judge Willard Farr was the only candidate in the district in the western part of town. and, of course, received all Of the 9 votes cast. The election, was held in the Assem- bly hall,
 4 sand storm ragged all day, which, together with the fact that both Cap tain Schuster and Judge Farr are among our best citizens and there being no op- position to either, sufficiently accounts for the light vote cast Both districts are to be congratulated that citizens of their standing can be induced to serve on the board of school trustees.

Delinauent Tax Sale.

Captain Ben Schuster, treasurer and tax collector, publishes a notice. in an- other column ofthis paper. to the effect that the public sale of property for de- IiDquent taxes for the year 1897, has been postponed until Thursday, April 2l, 1893. The total amount of taxes de- linquent now amounts to $890.87. This is only little over two per cent of the entire assessment for the pear 1897, and speaks eloquently of the condition of the people of Apache county. As 8 few more collections will undoubtedly be made before the sale, the probabili- ties are that the treasurer by that time will have collected over ninety-eight per cent of the taxes for the year 1897.

BLACK JACK.
His Gang Wiped Out by the
 MOrmOnS.

MOrmOnS.
 The following telegram from El Paso, Texas, to the Denver News gives the full particulars of tte-fnal doing up of Black Jack and his gang of outlaws:
 The notorious Black Jack gang of outlaws, which for years has defied the United States and local authorities of in Southwest, has at last been wiped out and it's. ca: eer of crime brought to a close. It remained for the averaging angels of the Mormon colony near Casas GraL des, Mexico, to seek out the rendezvous of the band in the al mos inaccessible Sierra Madre mountains and to carry death to it's members. The news was brought from Casas Grandes to-day.
 February g. Mrs. A. F. Mcdonald, a member of the Mormon colony at Round Valley, forty miles east of Casas Grandes was murdered by two members of the gang and her store footed The avenging angels of the Mormon church were commissioned to hunt down the murder CTS and they their work well!
 Sunday, March G. they discovered the gang at 8 point in the mountains fifty miles from Round Valley and at daylight had the camp complete ly surrounded. AS soon as the camp began to stir the firing began, and in a short time not one of the gang remained Hive.
 party of Amer can prospectors came upon the camp next day and found nine bodies stiff in death. and afterward learned from the Nor lIons the manner of their slaughter.
 The Black Jack gang of train robbers was the most desperate and successful that ever operat- ed in the Southwest.
 Among their crimes are the footing of the town of Soiomonvlle. Arizona, and the murder of the postmaster there, the holding up of trains on the Santa Fe Pacific at Rio Puerco, N |. NJ. aud at Grants Station.
 At the latter point trains were held up at two different times, the most recent being five mont ago, when it was reported that the rob- bers secured $3O,OO0
 The United Stats authorities have made two expedition into Mexico in pursuit of the band, but were never able to locate their hibing place

The Cases Dismissed.

The following from the Phoenix Ga zette relates the particulars of the late sheep cases in MaricCpa county:
 The Camp Mcdowell people, who were accus- ed of stealing over a hundred head of sheep from the flock of J. D. Houck of Holbrook were to have had their preliminary trial before Jus tice JChnsto3e Wednesday afternoon, but the district attorney caused the eases to be dismiss ed. It would seem, from all accounts, that MT. Houck's sheep, which have been wintering in the Salt River valley, were scattered one night by dogs and one or two sheep killed. Strag- gling members o' the band were eOrraled by residents of Ihc Camp Mcdowell neighborhood, not with any intention of stC aling shem, how ever

No Court in April.

There will be no term of the district court held in Apache county until next October, as Court Commissioner Hogue has recei ved instructions from Judge R. E. Sloan to open and adjourn court for the term, on the third Monday of April next. thus doing away with the spring term of court in Apache county this year. The fact is, there is not enough business to justify the expense of calling the juries together. and the action of Judge Sloan was wise, and also in the interest of economy.
