Gus festivities yesterday, were hauled

| the charge of drunkenness, which they
| admitted Smilingly, and in a manner
| that left the impression that they were

| charge was not murder. as they were
| too drunk to know what they had done
| and were greatly tickled when the
| judge sentenced them to the usual four

An insane man who has been about
the streets good deal for some time,

in the face rendering him unconscious

stitches were required. 1t was several

Now that Tucson is to have free mail
delivery it is not inappropriate to men,
| ton in connection with the fact that
| the southern capital gets this boon on
! the direct representation of Governor
Murphy. The governor also states
| that Prescott will be similarly favored
in the near future. This recalls the
| fact that Phoenix. which has enjoyed
this service for some years, is also in
debted to Governor Murphy for the es-
! Establishment of free delivery here while
| he was in Washington. The occurrence
also illustrates the fact that some
things can be hastily accomplished
| even in Washington. Mr. Murphy pre-
| scented the request for free delivery in
| Phoenix at 10 o'clock on the day the
| order was made and five hours there
| after the order was signed by the post
! master general.

| the Aborginies at an expense to the
! government of $S0.073, 66S. To this
| immense sum must be added the civil
| expenditures of the government on be-
| half of the Indians. which between
