Battle With IIighwaymen.

For some time past reports have been received of band of highway men operating along the road between lIarshaw and Washington Camp, in the Patagonia mountains. Monday word was received that they had shot a man. Deputy Sheriff w. w. Flew cling organized posse consisting of "Red" Burns, J l.. Hathaway and w. J. Ekey, and started for the scene of the trouble Monday night. At day. light Tuesday morning they found the bandits, to the number of six, enca mped in the Blue Nose gulch, about mile of from the Harshaw road. The posse were close upon the highwaymen before the latter were aware of their presence. They were commanded to throw up their hands, but they opened lire instead Not until they had fired secund time did the posse returned the fire. Burns was successful in blowing off the top of the head of one bandit, and wound ed another so he died at the MOwry mine, which the fleeing highwaymen passed in their flight. It is thought that one of the others was also severe ly wounded. The dead bandit was identified as one Cruz Marquez. The posse returned to Nogales Wednesday evening.

Handsome Directories.

Recently THE OASIS job office has been turning out number of very handsome business directory cards of various towns along the line of the Sonora and New Mexico & Arizona and Arizona S Southeastern railways. They consist of a large card upon which is printed a handsome map or engraving, to attract attention, around which are arranged the busi- ness cards of the principal commercial houses of the town. The first one, for Nogales, was issued iu August, and in the latter part of the same month one was got out for Benson. In September one was gotten up for Hermosillo, and was distributed early in the present month. As a center piece the latter had finely engraved portraits of Governor Torres, ex-Gov- ernor Corral and other prominent of- ticIals of the state of Sonora. One for Minas Prietas, La Colorado and Torres is now in hand and will be is- sued as soon as the necessary engrav- ings, which have been ordered, have come to hand. There is in hand also fine one for Guaymas, for which Mrs. Gonzalez is finishing fine view of the harbor and city, from which an elegant half-tone engraving will be made. When tinished each directory is distributed in public places in all the towns along the line of railway between Benson and Guaymas, at- tracting universal attention and mak- ing splendid permanent advertise ment of all the houses represented.

THE SETTLERS MEETING.
The santa Cruz People Determined to De- fend Their Homes Against Land sharks.

Pursuant tO call large gathering of settlers upon public lands in the Santa Cruz valley, met at the railway station at Calabasas. sun day. to take into consideration the "Baca iloat grant No. 3," and the unboly effort now being made by land sharks to transfer the location of that grant so 1t will cover the lands the same gentry unsuccess fully attempted to absorb under and by virtue of the Calabasas grant, in which effort they were defeated by a decision of the supreme court of the United States.
 The meeting was called to order by Hon Morgan R. Wise. who nominated for chairman Mir. George w. Atkinson.
 In taking the chair MT. Atkinson made a short and vigorous speech, outlining the danger menacing the homps of settlers on the Santa Cruz. and calling upon all present to unite earnestly and vigorously in the work of circumventing the dastardly inten- tions of the land thieves.
 MT. Atkinson explained that on June lst. 1860, congress, for the pur- pose of settling dispute between claimants under conflicting Mexican grants to large body of land in the vicinity of Las Vegas, New Mexico, enacted that the heirs of Luis Maria Baca should have the right to select other lands elsewhere in New Mexico Arizona being then part of that territory to be located in square D dies not exceeding five in number, apon vacant and non-mineral lands But the location thereof must have been made within three ye,r or upon or before June Fist, 1863. Upon June l7th, 1863, selection was made by John S. Watts, attorney for the Baca heirs, which was to be the third location of the five authorized by the Baca grant-hence it's name, "Baca float grant No. g. But this location was on lands not included in the present claim, conveying, instead, lands north of these, and in the Santa Rita mountains. The grant claimants now say that they sent down a sur veyor named Wrightsoa to inspect the lands and verify the location, but that Wrigs tson was killed by Indians and was unable to carry out his in- structions. Now the grant claimants ask the United States land office to allow changing of the initial point and new survey run upon otner lines which will include lands ac- tually occupied at that time; and the secretary of the interior has ordered the survey so made-but has sus- pended his order so the settlers may show cause why the initial point should not be changed
 Mr. Atkinson called attention to the fact that one of those present was Joe King who was with Mir. Wright son when that surveyor came into the country in 1868, and worked with him in surveying the lands intended talk ing, and that there was no inten- tion upon Wrghtsons part to include the lands now claimed. Furthermore Wrightson was not killed bv Indians in 1863, but lived until 1865. After finishing the survey he had been sent to make Wrightson engaged in mining in the Santa Ritas until 1865. in which year he met his death by In dians.
 MT. Atkinson touched upon the ar

 The following letter was prepared for presentation to the surveyor gen. eral, by the secretary, and received the signature of large number cf those present.:
 CALABAsAs, A. T., Oct. l5, 1899. HoN GEORGE CHRIST,
 U. s. Surveyor General. Arizona.
 We, the undersigned, citizens of the United States, residents of this local ity, having been informed that it is the intention of the government to locate Baca Float No land claim in this portion of the Santa Cruz val ley. Santa Cruz County, Arizona Ter ritory, respectfully represent through you to the Department of the Interior that we have lived in this vicinity many years, that the valley was oc- cupied and settled many years prior tn the year 1863, the dat of the pre- tended claim, and that the mines ln the Santa Rita and San CayetanO mountains were worked in those early days; that the land was declared pub lIc domain in the year 1874 and was opened for entry; that the settlers in the valley filed their claims in the land office at Florence, A T., and paid their first money; that the Tumaca- cori and Calabasas Mexican land grant claims were filed in the land office and surveyor generals office, in this territory in the year 1878, that the land was withdrawn from market aud the settlers could not prove up their claims That the settlers fought the Mexican grant claimants for twenty years and spent many thous- ands of dollars in fighting the same. That the land court was established to settle all private land claims and that all claimants had until March 1893. to present their claims to the court: that the claims Cf the Mexican grant claimants were denied and the land again declared public domain and open for entry; that the settlers again filed their claims in January 1899, and paid their first money. That in all these ears. since the year 1860, the claimants, Bica Float No have made no sign in this valley aud have done nothing tn establish their claim. That the valley is a narrow one and while the settler. raise barley, hay aud beans, they are all in the cattle business, that their business would be ruined and their holdings valueless if the entire cattle range passed into the hands of the claimants.
 That the testimony of prominent citizens will prove tn the Baca Float No was not located on the Santa Cruz valley in 1863, and that there was no attempt to locate on said valley uutil May 1899. after the land had been de- clared public domain and opened for entry second time. That the Baca Float No. 5 was local ted on he Santa Rita mountains and first surveyed in the year 1864, and was afterward sur veyed in the Santa Rita mountains in the year 1889.
 We therefore petition that there be hearing given before you and that testimony be taken to maintain our claims,
