 "The Arizona Graphic" is the title of the illustrated weekly mags- zine which makes its initial appear ance in Phoenix about the middle of September. Mr. Paul Hull, the editor and publisher of the new paper, is in town today, making Prescott folks acquainted with hi; enterprise. The dummy" of the paper which Mir.

 A telegram was received this afternoon at the sherifrs office from District Attorney R. NJ. Ling, stating that he had stopped of at Flagstaff today and showed a photograph of the New Mexico train robber who iz supposed to be the Camp Verde murderer, to the two men who are in jsil in Flagstaff charged with being complicated in the murder oi Wing6eld and Rogers, named Lee ! Cutworth and John Cameron, and they positively identify the photo graph to be that of Bishop. This tightens the chain very closely about the prisoner held in Santa Fe, and helps to identify him as the murderer our officers so much de sire. If it becomes necessary Capt Boyd will go to Santa Fe for thIs purpose. Capt. Boyd says he is positive be can identify the man who committed the murder any place ion earth. The governor ol New Mexico has refused to surrend' CT the wounded train robber, on the ground, it is alleged, that he has confessed that he IS the notorious Black Jack. However. nothing will be left undone by our officers tC clear up the mystery, and if pos sible bring the guilty party or parties to justice.
