 Stockman: MT. M. k. Curry, one of the prominent cattlemen of Gila county and one of our brand adver- tisers, disposed of his business last week to Mir J. W. Ellison, of Pleas ant Valley, for ,000 for the bunch. Mr. Ellison has bought large num- Der of cattle for others during the past few years, and has now purchased bunch for his own use. We con- grat ulate Mir Curry on the good sale he made, and also extend to Mir. Eli son our congratulations on the display of what we believe to be good. sound judgment, in his purchase of a good bunch of cattle at this time.
 Stockman It was rumored short while ago that the cattle loading pens ali Geronimo would be moved to some other point on the road. and that the management of the railroad was will ing to entertain offers of bonuses to assist them in coming to a decision in the matter of the most suitable point. Later information says the pens will rot be moved. but to convenience the
  shippers the pens at Stafford would be enlarged. The Satford pens were built when that town was the ter minal of the road, but when the road was completed to Geronimo larger pens were built there, from which point large shipments are made. With the pens at Geronimo remaining, and those at Stafford enlarged, the cattle shipping facilities of the upper Gila section will be ir pretty good shape.

The Dr. said, that he believes 10000 head of cattle will be imported to this country through the port at Fl Paso alone.
 An exclusive telegram to the Los Angeles Times of Monday, says: c. Q. Winkert of Kern county, California, passed through Pittsburgh last night on his way to New York. Winkert Is the owner of an extensive cattle ranch in White River valley. and is a west -ern representative of New York cap italists who have large ranches in Nevada, Arizona, Montana and Texas. Winkert said: "The United States government has secured options on enough cattle in the West to sustain an army of 10000 men for twelve months. No contracts have been made, but prices have been fixed, and in the event of war with Spain. the government would be amply supplied with beef for its troops at modern figures This option has been taken to prevent any cornerng of the market by large beef-packing con- cerns, who may be prepared to ad- vance prices at the first outbreak By purchasing directly from the cat tie raisers, the government will save thousands of dollars. and have an in- exhaustible supply at command The civil war was an object lesson not to be forgotten. Anybody who remem- bers the rebellion knows what war prices mean"
 Bisbee Orb: It has been some time since the Arizona papers and populace have heard anything of the rowing Dand of Apaches that were continual ly killing the prospectors and isolated cattlemen and driving off their stock. Since the Fighting 7thr had their two engagements with them nearly two years ago they have kept in their retreat in the heart of the Sierra Ma dres: but their supply of horses being somewhat small and rather ancient, they decided to have a new supply. This they accomplished about ten days ago by driving off three cowboys of the Diamond A company who had rounded up their cow-ponles for the spring roundup. The horses were rounded up and were being held at at tue head of the Animas valley near the boundary line of New Mexico, Arizona, Sonora aud Chihuahua. The Indians surprised the cowboys and fired several shots at them. As there were seven or eight Indians, the three cowboys concluded that they did not care for few head of horses and rode rapidly for camp. The Indians then drove the horses into the mountains

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-10-13

Reports from Madrid and Havana indicate
of soldiers for fighting. Unless the reports
from Havana are false Blanco is antici-
pating conflict and preparing for 1t. There
is a report that Cuba will not be evacuated
until the treaty shall be signed by the peace
commission. The Spanish authorities were
willing to give up when the protocol was
signed. and the Cortes ratified it the
only thing that could be done. Why, then,
this change of sentiment?
1t is due to TIE impression which one
would get from reading the yellow and cop
perhead press that the country is weary
of the war and is without confidence in the
President and those who have had the gem
eral management of the war. The reader
of those papers can come to no other con-
clusion. Blanco's information comes from
such sources. He and the authorities in
Spain have reason to be deceived by the
contents and tone of the yellow press. They
can easily believe that our regiments are
broken with disease and are clamoring to be
mustered out--that dissatisfaction bordering
on INSTRUMENTATION pervades army.
These false reports have caused the change,
if there has been change, in the tone of
the Spanish authorities.
The yellow and the copperhead press are
responsible for the general demand Of the
troops to be mustered out. THE war is
over; send the starving and diseased regi-
ments home, has been the demand of these
papers. Not all Democratic papers have
joined this conspiracy to demoralize the
army, but the copperhead journals consti-
tute the larger part of the papers of Demo-
cratic politics. If there shall be fighting to
get the Spanish out of Cuba. these papers
will be responsible for it, because all that
they have said for two months regarding
the war has been designed to renew the
hopes of the vanquished Spaniards.
The evil work of the press which has be-
come the allies of Spain can be overcome.
The greetings which the President has re-
ceived from the people as he passed through
the country indicate they sustain his policy.
If those who believe that the general man.
agement of the war has been wise and that
the President can be trusted to secure the
results of the war go to the polls and vote
for the candidates for Congress which sup
port the President and against such candi-
