 Frank B. Miller and William E. Fain, who have spent the past four months in the Yuma county jail and the Terri torial penitentiary, charged with com 1 plicity in the murder of Mrs. J. J. Burns, of Somerton, were taken to Prescott last Saturday night by Sheriff Gus Livingston and Deputy Sheriff T. N. Day. Though the fact was not gen erally known, Judge Street had issued an order for change of venue, on the representation of Baker X Bennett, attorneys for Miller and Fain, that they could not receive fair and inn i partial trial in Yuma county. The transfer of the prisoners to the Pres cott jail was in accordance with that order.-Iuma Sun.

 MT. ThOS. II. Whigglesworth Il rail- ! road surveyor, who claims to have ! picked the route for great many rail roads in various parts of the United States, passed through here the fore ] part uf the week on his way to Clifton and various places in the southern part of Arizona and in Old Mexico.
 His object was to map out line for | d railroad from Durango, Colorado, to ! the mining camps of Southern Ari2O- na and old Mexico. In an interview with Mir. Whigglesworth we gleaned the following: The prospects for d road from Durango this far is good, and is quite sure of being built if the remainder of the way be any where near as good as that which he passed oyer. MT WhlggleSworth says that they can lay an average of miles of i track day. St. Johns Herald.
 Captain Clarence King, one of the most prominent mining engineers in the United States, has taken up tenn ! pOrary residence in Prescott, having recently rented the Butcher resi- dence in East Prescott. h doing so l he was actuated from motives uf re- gaining his health, rather than from business standpoint. Captain King | had an attack of whOoping cough about year ago and went up to the Klondike country on q business trip. | The rigorS Of that climate did not have any beneficial effect upon his lilment, and on his way home from there last fall he was taken with pneu- monia and lay at the point of death in Chicago for four days. The combi- nation of diseases has left his health somewhat shattered, hence his trip to Prescott to recuperate. Journal Miner.
 A. Redewill, writing from Wicken- burg to the Gazette, says; Henry Wickenburg, the founder of thIS place, came here in October, 1863, and lived alone for six months when other pros pectors were killed of as fast as they came by the Apaches and Mohaves. Now old man Wickenburg, though in feeble health, with four score and one year of age, still possesses clear in- tellect and delights in informing new corners of thrilling adventures, mar row hair-breadth escapes and incl dents in pioneer life in the early six ties. While union soldiers were bat tling heroically with their no less gal lant confederate brothers in the east, and it's memorable events were trans piring at Vicksburg and Gettysburg, eliminating at Richmond, our Ari zona pioneers were fighting for dear life against the renegade Indians.
