 While deputy sheriffs were securing the country beyond Five Points in search of foOtpad on Thursday night they came upon a young man who was on his way from a belated visit at neighbours. He was ac- costed by the officers and ordered to stop. He went the faster, but was soon overtaken. As soon as his iden- tity was established he was permitted to go. He said the reason he didn't stop when called was that he had heard about the footpad and he feared from the general appearance of the officer that he was about to fall into his hands.
 Dr. J. c. Norton, territorial veteri- marian, returned yesterday from Bis bee and northern Sonora, where 7,30O cattle were awaiting admission to the sub-port at Bfsbee to be shipped to Colorado and Kansas. The cattle are embraced in seven herds. In two of the herds three cattle were found to be infected with the Texas fever ticks, but the infection was so slight that only six ticks were found He favored the admission of five herds which were not infected and had not been exposed to infection, but the govern ment inspector, Dr. Allen, decided to exclude all of them for the present.
 A man named Roberts, living near the Agua Fria, presents an unusual claim against the county. A few days ago MT. Roberts wife was driving along a county road and came to a ditch which had been spanned by a bridge. The bridge had been de stroyed. Mrs. Roberts tried to drive across and in doing so she was thrown from the buggy, sustaining a broken arm. MT. Roberts believes that since the road was public thoroughfare it ought to have been kept passable, and that there was once a bridge across the ditch is presumptive evidence that there ought to have been the day his wife tried to cross it. The matter will be presented to the board next Monday
 While prospectors are traverslng the hills of Arizona in search of new mines, others are making money de- veloping old Cnes, long supposed to be worthless. There is the Orc Bell of Yavapai county, about six miles this side of the Crowned King. But it is on this side of the divide and has al ways been regarded as being tributary to Phoenix. In fact road was once built out to it from here and carried on to the famous Tiger road. Sey- eral companies worked the Gro Bell without any profit. and the old mine was all but forgotten. Yesterday morning o. A. Ensign came in from the mine and said that new company employing twenty-three men were engaged on it again and were getting rich. The concentrates are worth S100 a ton.
 There was a pantomime perform ance in front of The Republican office yesterday afternoon. A well dressed young man was riding up Adams street. Two little girls were crossing the street at the same time. One of them dropped an iron disc and it fell on the ground with a loud metallic ring. An instant later the young man fell of his wheel and ran back to the spot from which he imagined the sound proceeded. After looking around care fully he took a lot of silver out of his pockets and counted it carefully. He put it back and noticed the little girls standing open mouthed watching him. One of them without taking her eyes off the wheelman stopped down and picked up the disc The young man turned red in the face and mounting his wheel. rode off. Not a, word was spoken.
 Very late on Thursday night there was a street car accident on West Washington from which a young man and young woman narrowly escaped with their lives. The young man was resident of Tempe. The young wo- man lives in the block. They were driving along the street and met a car. The young man foolishly turned to the left just in time to bring the left fore wheel of his buggy on the other track in time to make connec- tion with car coming from the other direction. The buggy was wrecked and the occupants dashed upon the ground, but out of reach of the car. Three ribs of the young woman were knocked in. The young man emerged from the fray with a badly injured arm and a scalp wound which debars him from early partici- patton in a beauty show The horse, which was under the special guidance of righteous providence, came out of the affair without a scratch. The young woman was put to bed and physician was sent for to fit her ribs together like they used to be.
