OLD TowNslfFN LEFT.
Two Former Pe-idents of Oxford Miss Brought Together by The
 Republican.

4 few days ago The Republican pre-
 sented some statistical and startling in-
 formation regarding the movement Of | cotton from Oxford, Miss. The mass | of information was contributed by R. s. Stearns of the Fashion barber shop,
 a former resident of Oxford. His name
 was mentioned in the article. The next morning an old gentleman went
 into the shop and sizing up the row of
 waiting barbers, asked, Which of
 you'uns is named Stearns?" Mrt
 Stearns stepped brisl1ly forward and
 pointed to his chair. The old gentle
 man climbed into it and said: I'm
 glad to see you 1 was reading about | you in the morning Republican. I'm from Oxford myself. I'm always glad tO see even . yellow dog from Oxford and So I thought I'd come a3onnd.
 Reading that you was here and What you was q barber made me think that 1 wanted my hair cut. l don't want my head sand-papered or anything like
 that; just cut it moderately short, you
 know, like 9 Mississippi gentleman
 wears his hair. Say, you give it to 'em
 pretty strong about shipping cotton
 from Oxford They used to ship lots of cotton when l was there, but the shipments never interfeTed with the mail Still the business was growing and l expect by this time the cotton
 hlockades the town like you said it did It's almost as bad as a quar2r- tine, ain't it? Why, it's worse. You can get mail through a quarantine"
 The old gentleman was something of a conversati0nalist. So is MT Stearns, but he spared in vain for an opening until the old man inadvertently stopped to take his breath and MT. Stearns broke in. The old man made frequent. ! but unsuccessful efforts to get the floor | again and would begin a remin- | iscence of Oxford. MT. Stearns has a. | retentive and comprehensive memory. | ''Oh, yes" he would say, T remember l him. and then he wOul5 take the rem iniscence off the old mans hands | and finish it. This unequal struggle ! was carried on for half an hour. and | though the old gentleman was not ut terly knocked out. he was unable to . continue the fight Wher time was called after the hair cut. He was weak and trembling, while MT. Green was brushing him off and the only retalia- ti0n he could offer to MT Stearns' con- tinEed !5Ombardment was feeble. but duerulOus, '3Yes, yes, knew him." At length the door was opened and the old man was permitted to escape. As he was staggering across the street the relentless Mir. S.earns ran to the door and cried: "Oh! say mister! Did you know sON and So in Oxford?'
 The old man never turned around but waving his hands in the air gasDed. ''Yes, I knew him." and he continued his flight beyond MT Stearns' range

TIE SIDE OF THE CATTLE

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 Permit me On behalf of the cattle men to reply to the interview with A. Vandervort in The Republican thls morning. He says we (the cattlemen) make the practice of censuring the sLeepman, and that we would like to drive them Cu5 Of business. Far from it. We did everything in our power to assist them to open the forest reserve, amounting to 5,400 square miles of ter ritory, which gives them almost abso- lute control of the finest grazing land i'll the southwest. Every cattleman in both houses voted in aid thereof. and almost every cattleman in this and Yavapai county signed a petition in aid thereof
 MT. Vandervort says cattle and sheep will remain insaperable on graz ing lands. Every sheep and cattIeman in the United States knows that where sheep have roamed cattle will not eat No, not even the finest of grass which sheep have left. He states that the city Of Phoenix receives less income from cattle than sheep. He then pre- sUmes that each sheepman disbuTses from $1000 to s150O in the valley. the total amount reaching $15O, ,000, making

BUT HE GOT HIS MEN.
Officer Al Hawley Has a Lively Strug gle While Making Arrests in
 Block" Saloon.

Some people have an idea that they
 are above the law in their own premi- ses. Such was the case at the saIoo l
 on the north side of the street opposite
 the M. &5 P depot about s o'clock last
 night when Officer Al Hawley made
 an arrest. The officer was attracted to
 the scene by the sound of Q fistic COZ
 test which was taking place in the s3- loon and upon entering seized Cordalta
 BerdinO. one of the principals The
 proprietor entreated the officer to al
 low the men to remain and he was heartily seconded by the other fghter, Pete POllito.
 Detective Frank Scott happened on the scene and upon request of Officer Hawley took formal possession Of the last-named cOmbatant. The propTie- tors entreaties soon took the form of threats and he proceeded to second his efforts physically John QUardi, q by stander, came to his assistance and a tug of war took place which promised to rival the big event advertised for the 18th. For some time no advantage was gain ed by either team, while BerdinO, the victim of the last controversy was per fectly willing to be led either direction providing the opposition would agree to an afmlStlce- EVenLualIy the OII- cer was successful in pulling BerdinO outside the door wheae he hand-cuffed him and left him in charge Of George Mcdonald. In the meantime Frank Scott had placed his "nippers' On Pol ito and scared off the two men who had interfered with the first arrest.
 MT Hawley said that as he was bringing the men to town he gathered from their conversation that they would make a plea to the effect that they had not been fighting, but were beguiling the time pleasantly in harmless practice of the manly art. Their faces were covered with blood, however, and they apparently had not stinted in supplying themselves with ''red' wine. The two men were locked up and not admitted to bail. Officer Hawley will make a complaint today against tke Italians who interferced with the arrest. He said that .pre-e- dent had been established in that sa- loon some time ago, in interfering with officers making arrests and he intends the proprietor to the true of the law.

W. A. Davis: Of course in common wi3h all residents of the city 1 would like to see the local Indian school eclipse the Carlisle school and bn the largest institution of it's kind in the word, but the latter school is a gov elnmcnt pet and it's standing will be maintained.

not less than 100 sheepmen new here
 when in reality there are only eighty three sheep brands or marks recorded in the territory. Then he goes on to
 state how much wool he has purchased which cuts no figure at all, and gives i the total value of sheep at present in 1 the valley at S500,000. He also men tions the shipping of a carload Of pelts, 1 the sheepmen having kindly driven 1 their sheep down here to slaughter so as to be able to ship the pelts, for
 which we most heartily thank them. 1 Now in regard to the relative mag nitude of the two industries:
 Assessed valuation of sheep in the
 territory, 1898, S799 00O
 Assessed valuation Of cattle, 1898, l $4.158 900.
 Taxes received in MaricoDa county from outside sheep in 1898, S40216
 Taxes received in MaricoDa county from cattle in 1898, S7,70635
 Taxes received in Yavapai county from outside sheep in 1898. SS4.
 Taxes received in Yavapal county from cattle in 1898, S19,48744
 Final county received nothing from outside sheep, Gila practically the same, and vet there is in Maricopa county at the present time $500.000
 MOtJA OI SnS6D. The owners or the said $500 900 worth of sheep in Mari copa county do not own nor claim single foot of range, nor own Q solitary water hole; nor do they own a build ing or any property which is taxable. For illustration, the assessor went out and tried to collect poll tax from well known sheepman a few days ago, who had forty men shearing, and he refused to pay the same or any part thereof and was placed under arrest
 The above number of sheep are and have been living upon the cattlemen's ranges for the past several months, causing the death of many hundreds of cattle, and causing the loss of many thousands of dollars to the cattlemen The ranges which they claim or own in the north they graze upon as long as the grass remains green, and then start south, following the green grass through the different counties until they arrive in the Salt River valley, where they spend their years cleaning According to MT Vandervort). They stay in the Salt River valley until the grass begins to dry, then they start north again so as to eat. and finally ar rive upon their own ranges. to which they have been strangers for more than one-half the year
 We have appealed to the present legislature for some just protection. We have aided the sheepmen to obtain full control of 5,400 square miles of the best grazing land in Arizona We Ob- ject to their eating us cut of house and home and compelling us to quit the cattle business thereby depriving the several counties of their largest in come from taxes (except landed inter ests), and then the sheepmen say we are trying to deprive them of their rights

4 TEXAS NORTHER.

 Star State ScOurse.

Dr. L. D. Dameron, who recently re turned from a visit to Texas, describes the approach of a ''noTther.' One day a few weeks ago he was stopping at Denton, about thirty miles north of Dallas The day was perfect one, comparing without disadvantage with the Ioveliest Salt River valley winter days. Doors and windows were thrown open and men sat about in their shirt sleeves dividing their time between congrat tulating themselves on their in comparable climate and cOmmiserating the people of the less favored north upon jhei' WintIy woes. BHt a mes sage was coming from the north. It began to arrive soon after Hightfall. It came in 9 WaiIing among the tree tops, which even the cattle understood and huddled together in sheltered hooks on the south side Of buildings and stacks. Then there was moaning at door and window crevices and key-hoIes. The moan increased until it grew to angry shrieks. The northeT itself had come and his advance guard had passed on south to the gulf.

LIQUOR DISPENSARY,

New York Evening Post: After a year
or so of agitation the question in Georgia
as to whether the manager of a liquor
dispensary can be a consistent member
of the church., has ben settled, so far, at
least, as the individual church society
directly interested is concerned. The
question has been one of general interest
among all denominations, but it's settle
ment rested with the Baptist, and more
particularly with the First Baptist
church of Athens. Many members of this
church. in cooperation with those of
other beliefs, worked for the establish
ment of the dispensary as the best avail
able solution of the liquor problem, and
| Macon Johnson, one of the church men,
bers, was placed in charge of the dis
pensary. Other Baptist churches in the
state have threatened to withdraw fell
lowship from the Athens church, unless
it should discipline or eXpel Mr.. Johnson,
and finally a few Good Templar members
of the Athens church mustered up suffi-
cient courage to move for Mr.. Johnson's
expulsion. Practically all the argument
was in Mr.. Johnson's favor. and it was
held that he was simply an agent in a
good Christian cause, and was doing
very practical work for temperance. An
un-Christian man in such a position, it
was said, could nullify all the reform
purposes in the creation of the dispen-
sary. The votes, too, were with Mr.. john
son, his opponent only counting four.
