Cattle VS. Sheep.

The following editorial, from the
 Southwestern Stockman, discusses the present situation in regard to the diff ] ferences between the sheepmen of the northern portion of the territory and the cattlemen who live on the line of the trail to the pastures Tn the south ern part of the territory:
 The question of rights between the cattlemeu of Arizona and her fiockowners is per- aps the same here as in other states and territories of the range section of the west. Bloody wars have been waged and many innocent lives lost and when the battle was over aLd thousands of dol lars in property wantOnly destroyed, the Quos- tiOn was no nearer settled than before Not thatit is one that never be settled for it can but We must go about it in proper manner. We must all It cognize the fact that for the greater Arizona s cattle and sheep ranges are govern ment land; that the trails leading from the mountain home, or summer range of the hOcks to their valley range and winter home, are over the government domain, and they argue that they have an equal right with the cattlemen 10 occupy the same. They have. in a sense, and yet t'ey have net. Where man has settled aud established for himself home, and the broad acres about him have been hf> for years by Oc- cupancy. because of water developed to make that occupancy possible we say he has a prior right in inc eyes Of all honest men, even though no law exists on cur statute books giving i'm su right The ma ter is therefore not one for the courts to take hand in, but rather one to be settled as between man and man, and which We believe can be done by arbitration. If he cattemen along the route of travel will get to- gether and make request for the sheepmen to do the same, and meet to settle the question for good, it can be accomplished to the full satisfac ton of all concerned. The sheep of the north ought to bv allowed tO come south 10 lamb and clip. but they should not presume that they have license to occupy the front door, ard of \ man who is an oil settler in community The flOckmasters are intellige mt people and can eas- fly appreciate the wrongs they commit in ShiS way. Again, it iS very probable that were the att n:iou of the owners of the aOcks called to the matter they would not allow what, in many caset. their shepherds do unbekn0wn 10 the owners, The whole subject ought to be care fully canvassed and before the fall drives are commenced proper understand ng vii have baen arrived at and the whole thing settled. If the badsfeel ng is allowed to grow but one thing can happen, which m ans the loss of life. and for which rash step there ca really be no pro- vocation. Let us arhitTate.

the earth far enough away to come within the range of gravital attraction of other planets, consequently what is now the earth did not fall back into the sun from which 1t had been thrown. Other planets have been caused the sane way and from the same source; for instance the moon and Mars. If a ball should be shot out of cannon with sufficient force to land it npon Mars, if the inhabitants of that planet should use the same word in naming it as We do they would call it ''meteorle. If. however. the ball should only have suf- hcient velocity to carry it say half way to Mars 1t would then come to stop at point where it would be acted upon by the attraction of all surrounding planets. consequently it would fall upon neither, but would Immediately take on a motion or orbit of it's own, when it would become true planet. just as our earth is.

The cattle buyers have all left the country, anal some of those who have been making contracts for April delIv- cries are asking for extension of time. 1t is reported that the banks are refus- ing to advance money to cattle buyers, and that many of them will have to lose the forfeit money they have put up.

A Proper Assessment.

The Graham Guardian, in its last issue, thus jumps all over the editor of the Range News:
 The Range News is still trying to defend the position it has taken ill the statement thBt a tax on 2,700 head of cattle is a just tax for com ps,'y tO pay that has just contracted to deliver s,c09 head, with the privilege of adding 1000 head more. If the News derives any satisfac- tion from such course it is welcome to it. We suppose it does. however. for that is what seems to be it's special forte. It is just such work as this that causes our counties to be so heavily in debt The News seems 10 be greatly in favor of the big fellow getting off with as light tax as possible. We believe that all should pay on whatever they own. and shall always contend for it, the News notwithstanding to the contrary We will endeavor to give Brother Dunlap some more light on the subject ere long. Through our article, people have commenced to think. and when they once con mence thinking action will not be long delayed.

THE TRAIN ROBBERS.
Hiding in the Southern Part of
 This County,

Sheriff Creaghe. who has just re- turned from a trip to the southern DOT ton or the county, says that she gang who recently attempted to hold up a :rain on tiie Santa Fe Pacific, at Grants station, were. one day last week. in mountains, and passed by the ranch of Macedonia Bordeaux, and were recog- nized. The members of the gang are Bill Johnson, Ed. Coalter, "Red" Pip kin and another, whose name we did not learn.
 There was originally five men in this "wild bunch." but one them quit the gang soon after the abortive attempt at train robbery. Special Guard Fowler. who followed the trail with 8 posse, camped one day close to the men he were following. The signs were so fresh and evident that inc men were Tn the immediate vicinity that he deemed It prudent to place certain par ties under arrest 10 prevent them from communicating with the fugitives. However, Fowler was unable to guard his prisoner very closely, and leave was given him to leave camp for the pur- pose of procuring a beef. It is supposed that advantage was taken of thls li- cense to put the train robbers on their guard, and, at all events, they hurried Iy left, going ont of the country by the usual route-"down the Blue."
 Coalter and Pipkin are both reported to be wounded, each having caught a bullet in hIs leg. from Fowler's gun, during the fusilade at the time of the attempted robbery. All of the men are very young, belng hardly more than boys. They are we'll known in Apache county, and ev rvbedy is surprised at their connection with an affair of this kind.
 AS the railroad and express compa- nies are very backward in payIng any proposed rewards for the apprehension of train robbers, and generally manage to wiggle out of paying even the ordi nary expenses of such pursuits. the probability is that unless they send posse Of officers in their own pay after the fugitives, "Broncho Bill' Johnson and his gang will never be arrested.
