AT LAST
The River Has Come To a Stand.
 still.

The river after raging for the past week, doing much damage to prop erty, cattle and crops, has at last come to a standstill at this place. Everyone thought at first the water would equal the '92 mark, which it did in some places up the river, but here in this city it is lacking nine inches of touching the mark of '92. The water now will continue to reeede and the Arkansas r1yer will soon be at a level. During this rise many levees were broken and much damage was done to property. At Little Rock the river is fast fall ing and at Fort Smith it is dolng likewise. Traffic will soon be resum- ed and while business was injured in certain ways, it will also pick up, and we may now have a summer of peace and prosperity,

A STORM CENTER.
Many Officers and Cattlemen in Search of Stolen Stock.

Ztec Index
 Aztec has been a storm center for cat tlemen, cattle buyers and cattle inspec- tors during the past week. It is claimed in some quarters that there has also been a fair sprinkIing of the genus cat tie thief in the mlx-up. The conse- Quence has been an air rife with rumors as to great finds of stolen cattle, with the finger of suspicion pointing all the way along from Jewett and the Navajo reservation to Largo, Cedar Hill and the State liue.
 Among the officials who have been here during the week are c. E. Railston of Engle, N. NJ, c. ;. Ford of Hol- 1 brook. Arizona, A. E. Henning, of Ma vajo Springs, ArlzOna, all of whom are cattle inspectors Deputy Sheriff Hood, of Socorro county T. F. Tucker, of Ma vajo Springs, Arizona, representing the Wabash Cattle company, and Messrs. Hank Sharp and George Henderson. of Springerville, Arizona, the former deputy sheriff of Apache county.
 The result of the presence of these officials was the rounding up of about eighty head of stolen cattle, which were brought to town by the officers. It is said that the bulk of the cattle had borne the brand of the famous '.M-F" Cattle company of Socorro. Wednesday the bunch was placed on sale, Monroe Fields of the place becoming the owner.
 As result of the raid, warrant was sworn out against Charles Carter of Fairpoint, charging him with being a f'gitive from justice, and he was bro- ught to Aztec Sunday night by Sheriff Brown. Monday a hearing was had before Justice Of Peace Berry. Attorney J. M. Palmer appeared for the accused, and after hearing the facts presented, Justice Berry decided that as there was no direct evidence to show there was a warrent against Garter elsewhere, or that he was fugitive from justice any where, he could not legally be deprived of his liberty. Thursday, Deputy She tiff Hood of SocOrro county rearrested Carter on a warrant from SOCOrrO. charging him with cattle stealing. He was brought back to town, and will be taken to SOcorro for trial.

School Entertainment.

The primary department of the pub lie schools in District No. l, under the charge of Miss Amelia Hunt, gave a very pleasant entertainment in com memoration of Washington's birthday, at Armory hall, on last Monday even- ing, the Fist inst. All the children talk ing part were those belonging to the Mexican portion of our people, and the little ones acquitted themselves well. The whole entertainment was uni form ly good, but there were some special features that were remarkable, and showed the patient work of Miss Hunt. The exercises were conducted in Eng fish, excepting short address to the patrons of the school. in Spanish, by Antonio Gonzales, Esq. one of the trustees of the district. Little Sidney Craig had several pieces to speak, and Miss Inezita Gonzales also showed her very remarkable proficiency in English for one of her years. The Cane Drill and Flag March were both we'll exc cuted. The crowning part of the per formance was the singing of the na- tIonal anthem. "America," by all the school. This was gloriously rendered and provoked much applause at its con- clusion. Our NJ XIcan neighbors are 10 be congratulated upon having so proh- cient a teacher as Miss Hunt in charge of their little ones. She is not only teaching them the English language and giving them all other ordinary school instruction, but is also, by the observance of these national holidays, giving them practical instruction in patriotism that is highly beneficial to the rising generation.

FRANK M. MURPHY.
4 Loyal Citizen of Arizona in
 Washington

The Washington port, of a rerent date, prints the following:
 "Cne of the leading men of Arizona, ,Mr Frank NJ. Murphy of Pr scott, is i'll the city, having trayc,ed to Washington with his friend, Mir C. c Randolph well remembered here as a pop ular and experienced ncwspapcman, but now who edits d very ourishing Gaily newspal CT at Phoenix, the capital of the Territ ory.
 Mr Murphy is president of the Santa Fe Pres colt & Phoenix railroad, connec ting the northern and southern sections of Arizona, is a banker and mine owner, being ayily interes ed in the Congress mine, one Of the big producing gold properties of the west. He is brother of Hon. N. O Murphy, lately delegate Congress, but on the finincial question differs ith the latter being strenuous advocate of the gold standard
 "IfS very tiresome," said MT Murphy, ito read in eastern papers about the unftuess of Arizona for statehood on the ground of large percentage of illiterate Indians and MeXicanS. Writers of such stuff are grossly ignorant, but their ignorance hurts. We have S5. coo white people who, for refinement education, progress iveness, morality, and all the other virtues of civilization, are on par with an equal number taken, 1 care not from what ono of the old set tied states of this Union The Indians and Mex jeans are but small per cent of our population. The whites are from every section of the United States and in most instances are men of pro- perty and high character, They are attracted to Arizona by its matchlesS climate and splendid resources. In Phoenix each evening crowds of well dressed people, in evening costume, can be seen dining in the spacious banquet hall of $2Oo coo hotel with all the accessories of comfort and elegance that surround the citizens of Wash ington.'
 "Our Territory is growing ia t, and the dew eloImeat of it's mining wealth is especially sat lsiactocy Already it is fifth in the list of ates in the production of precious metals and this year the output may place it in the fourth place In the United Verde we have one of the richest copper mines in the word, and It also carries q large amount of silver aud gold. Plans are on foot to build branch railroad into a mining district which, when Oppened up, will add largely to the list of producers Every sefish in tereSt of Arizona would tend to ma ke our people s0lil for the continuance of the gold stan dard, for beyond question the demand for gOlI has been leading factor in our rapid deveOpment.'

 In the evening, grand ball was held in the armory. This part of the ceIe- bration was an unqualified success.

Davis, and was conducted to the entire satisfaction of every guest and friend of the company who graced the occasion with the1r presence.
 The music was furnished by Messrs. August Mlneer and William Holgate, and was most excellently rendered.

Fire in Prescott.
TCourier.

About twelve o'clock last night fire broke out in the third story of the John- son House. The flames had broken
 through the roof when the fire alarm
 whistle was blown, and the fire had gained such headway before it was discovered that many of the inmates of the building had barely time to escape, several being compelled to jump from the windows. Doctor Kaynor was badly burned about the feet and back and
 somewhat about the face. He was taken to the Corner Drug Store, where the burns were dressed, and thence to Mercy Hospital. Chas. Perkins jumped , from thlrd-story window and injured his back. He was taken to the Winsol

The fire department responded quickly to the alarm and did the best possible under the circumstances, the whole Of the rear wing and the third and part of the second story being a mass of flames when they arrived upon the scene. Harry Campbell cut his wrist very badly while breaking win dow glass to gain access to the building. Very little furniture and clothing was saved, pe1haps not more than wagon load in all. The building is a complete loss. At time of going to press (2:3O) a. m.) Dr. Kayner's condition was quite critical.
