 Albert Haisley was in yesterday from his place south of Prescott and told of very strange attachment which had sprung up between stray dog and a heifer which ranges the hills in his neighborhood The dog is brown in color, about eight inches high and about a foot long, and was first noticed with the hiefer about a month ago and has been her almost constant attendant ever since. The dog is frequently seen standing on its hiud legs, licking the heifer's nose, while the heifer m turn fondles and licks the dog just as a COW does her calf and bellows most mournfully when separated from the dog. The dog is as wild as rabbit and fees upon the approach of any person. The heifer is the property of Mir. Reynolds, who is interested in this strange case and who leaves food where the dog can come aud get it. No one has any idea where the dog came from or to whom it belongs. Prescott Courier.
 
 Civilians who are obliged to go to Fort Huachuca for their mail com plain that upon going to the pOstotfice, on the reservation, they are subjected to the indignity of being hauled up to the guard house by colored sentinels and forced to secure pass or permit to get their mail. This is the first time such strict ruling has beer put into effect at the fort, and we are in- clined to the belief that the new com manding officer is not acquainted with the existing conditions. The many ranchers and patrons of the postoflice in the vicinity of the post have always, since the existence of the fort, en- ioyed the privilege of going to the postoflice for their mail without hin- drance or molestation. This order now works an uncalled for inconve- nience and annoyance on the civil ian, and much complaint is the result.

 The Courier reporter sighted a man with genial countenance and an Ar kansaw cut of beard and moustaehe, on the streets, yesterday, and finally identified him as eX-Governor Tritle, who has been down among the eX- confederates until he almost looks like one of them. Governor Tritle has It. turned to Arizona to accept the posi- silion of census marshal of the terri tory. He will spend his salary here, beyond a doubt. Some foreigner from Ohio or Boston might tote it out of the country; hence. we welcome Tritle as census marshal. It will be a small job for him to count the gold bugs, but the silverites are like the sands of the sea, and when he strikes them he will need counting machine, sure. Prescott Courier.
 Ernest Deitrick, an employe of the 70. K. meat market, met with pe- culiar and serious accident yesterday evening at the slaughter house west of town. He stepped from a room to
 the ground below, a distance of less than one foot, and turning around suddenly to pick up something on the ground felt severe pains in his foot, ana in attempting to walk fell to the ground Medical aid was summoned
 aud an examination showed that the ankle bone and one also of the foot were broken, which will keep him in bed for several weeks. He does moi know how to account for the strange accident and says he stepped lightly to the ground, but had on rubber boot,
 that were too large for him. Prescott ? Journal Miner.
