 ne.ws yet of the Verde valley assassin IA special wire sent Tae Republican
 last night from Jerome covers the
 ground fully at this writing, but befcre this letter reaches it's destination the stern chase may be over, and the fugi-
 tive in all probability will have been sent to join the men he 8 wanto1ly
 murdered. There seems to be .ittle doubt of the identity of the hunted man. It appears almost certain that Oscar Wade is the man, and if it shall transpire that this suspicion is based on fact, it was q sad miscarriage of justice that turned loose On the com munity such fiend incarnate Wade and his brother were in the tolls a short time ago charged with stealing horses from a party of Indians in the Verde valley, but on their preliminary examination were discharged from GUS tody despite strenucu3 efforts on the part of Assistant District Attorney Gibbs cf Jerome to have them bound over to the grand jury. It is the com monly accepted belief that if caught ard identified the murderer will never be housed in the Prescott jail, so in- tense Is the feeling throughout the whole county
 i The man Monrial, whose application i for a writ of hsi5eas corpus resulted in Ithe decision of Judge Sloan of Prescott that Recorder McKinnOn was holding office without warrant cf law, has [ h Barton's court, by Attorney Ross, for a return Of the fifty dollars paid by i him as a fine under the sentence of Re coTder McKinnon. Some very nice points are involved in the complaint. as MonriaI alleges he was a prisoner when Judge Sloan's decision was ren- dered- As 2 matter of fact he had paid his fine several days prior to that judg- ment. If he wins his case. he will still be subject to arrest and trial for the original offense, as an illegal convic- ton is no bar to an-ther prosecution, and if the defense of 'sonce in ieop- ardy Is set up, then Monrial admits 1 the Jurisdiction of the court in which he was convicted Aitogether it is very pretty legal fgh.. rendered all the more interesting, as the mayor, town council and city clerk. are made cc-defendants with former Recorder Mckinnon. For a small case of com p3Tatively little importz nee it seems to have stirred up considerable bitterness.

 Agent Haigh Of the Weekly Examin- er has spent the last few days in Je- rome in the interest of that journal. but on account of the recent vi1lainous write-up that Jerome received in the Examiner his receipt of stuibbs are not as numerous as they might have been. He left this morning cheerful. how ever. and with good opinion of the copper city. The Rathb0ne's ball came of at the Masonic hall on the night of the Fourth, and though a small attendance was present, on account of the absenea CT so many of Jerome's younger Dao- pie, very enjoyable evening was spent; the music was excellent and tha floor perfect
