A recent namber of Casxell's Maca- zine contains an illustrated article in a series upon The National De- fenSe," dealing specially with the vol unteers. The author says: Anxious to glean few interest ting facts about the volunteer force from someone whose statements and opinions were thoSe of an expert, l hied me to the house of a friend Of mine who had for years Eeen in command of one of the most famous of volunteer regiments. He was, as expected, only too pleased to talk upon his pet subject. for the improving of the volunteer force has been the study of his lifetime. .You sce,". he began, in answer to a pre.im- mary query of mine relative to the f2htin. value of the citizen soldier, 'the Transraal war has answered your first question. The city imperial vol unteers have given 8 splenuld account of themselves. They. represent. un- doubtedly, the pick of cur fighting material which remained over from the regular army. Scarcely Q man amongst them had Smelt powder; probably very few had bcen out ot England before in their lives. And yet war breaks out 6,0oo miles away and you find men tumbHng over each other in their eagerneSs to get to the front! That shows the national love of soldering.

A MYSTERIOUS INCIDENT
Two Unknown Men Capture Another
 and Take Him Away.

C. AL Etter. who lives a few miles northeast of the city, came to town yes terday morning and reported a mys- terious incident which occurred in that neighborhood the afternoon before.
 A stranger was riding eastward at a furious rate of speed. and now and then he turned in his saddle and looked be- hind him. He would then urge his horse on the faster. He was seen by the Cook brothers, who live in that vicinity and also by hIr. Hurd and family. who live on the Ward ranch. near the cross cut. From the anxious manner in which the rider looked Iehiud him it was suspected that he was being pursued, This suspicion ripened into q belief when a few minutes later. the chatter of horses hoofs was heard down the road and two men flew along at ter rife speed. one of them holding a TO Volver in his hand. Beyond the Ward ranch the road turns sharply at a barbed wire fence. The fugitive cvi- dently thinking that it went straight ahead. rode into the wire and rider and horse tumb!cd to the ground. Before the fugitive couid discntanElc himself the pursuers were within shooting dis tauce, and one of them opened fire upon him. He replied and after an exchange Of from six to nine shots he gave up. The three rode back toward Phoenix together the fugitive in the middle.
 It was supposed by those who wit messed the incident that the pursuars were peace officers and that the other man malefactor. When Mir. Ettar came to town yesterday he inquired for particulars: he wanted to know what the man pad done. To bis surprisa DO
