 From ,hs appearances of the borses and she circumstance of the nistt previous she supposition is that the same MeIicsns evidently waited for their victim and when commanded to stop Sing doubtless whipped up his horses and while fleeing the frustrated robbers took . parting shot which resulted f.tslly.

 Is was the intention of the Authori- sies here to allow Gov. McCord leave of absence as governor. but as 0ensr- Al AlgeI has decided sO send the regiment to the Philippines about August let, it becomes necessary for Gvv. McCord to decide between the two positions. While he has not yet done co, it is thought he will accept the cOlonelcy.
 When Dr. Goodrich wss here 6 few weeke ago it was virtually decided he should be the governor of that terri- 'LHy should there be Q change made.
 The distance ro the Philippines be- ing 60 great and the length of sb- sssce necessarily very uncertain, it has been decidcd Tn case Governor McCord goes to the war, to appoint another governor for Arizona.
 There is considerable talk here that ex-Delegate Murphy is not work ing in tie interest of the Phoenix capitalist for governor, but that he desires to pluck the plum himself.
