Rufus r. Allison died on the train
between Barstow and Mojave last Sun
dav night, while being conveyed to the
German hospital at San Francisco,
says the Kingman Miner. He had been
i'll for ten days or more, but it was not
thought serious consequences would

The secretary of war has ordered that
white troops be sent Immediately to all
western posts upon or adjacent to In
dian reservations, to take the place of
colored soldiers, where the latter are
now stationed. AS a result of the in
structions. a company of the Seventh
cavalry, now at Omaha will be sent
over the Santa Fe to San Carlos, Ari-
iona, and the colored troops which have
been stationed at the agency are or
| dered to San Antonio, Texas, for the
winter. 1t is said at army headquar-
tiers that the secretary of war has sent
several terse messages, resulting in this
radical step. The government is par
ticularly anxious to avoid any trouble
with the Indians just at this period, for
! obvious reasons, and the request of the
Apaches to have the colored troops
sent away was readily granted.

the Kingman Miner says: Last Tues
/ day evening a team loaded with lum-
Der was standing near the Tennessee

speed John Dobbs was passing along

years at time of death. He leaves a
daughter in Salt Lake City. He had
resided in Chloride for about three
years and was we'll liked by all who
knew him. His funeral took place

Formal charges alleging conduct I'M
becoming an officer have been filed
against Policeman Nabor Pacheco, says
the Tucson Citizen. The mayor and
police committee of the city council
will meet soon for the trial of the Off
Ger. 1t is understood that Pacheco
was recently accosted upon the street
by an intoxicated man. who applied a
long string of abusive, vile and indie
cent epithets to him. This man and
Pechaco have been at outs for some
time and the man began cursing Pa
checo as soon as he caught sight OF
him. The attack was d personal one
and therefore Pacheco made the pun
ishment personal one. Instead of ar
resting the man and landing him in
Jail, as he perhaps ought to have done,
he fell upon him with might and main
