 Hart is broad shOuldered fellow under thirty. He takes matters very philOsOphically and will undoubtedly die game. Since his arrest he has been confined in the territorial peni- tentiary, the county jail being con- s'dered unsafe. The jury was out half an hour.

Fort Whipple to Be Restored.

Governor Murphy received from the war department yesterday copy of a report recently made by General Mer- riam in relation to the water supply guaranteed by the citizens of Pres cOtt. from which it is safe to assume that at an early date the post will be put in order to receive troops. The water system, now nearing completion will make available for this military post an abundant supply of pure spring water, which taken together with the exceptionally favorable climate, insures the making and establishing al this point of one of the most desirable and and attractive military posts in the United States. There never has been any question as to the desirability of the location from military point of view, the water problem being the only one to solve. It would appear from General Merriam's report that, in his judgment, a supply of pure waler is now available, sufficient for d thous- and men under ordinary conditions. The citizens of Prescott stand ready, however, to guarantee four times as much water as ettimated by the gen. eral as being necessary under ordinary conditions, or sufficient for two regi- ments, if deired. The whole territory is deeply interested in the re-establish- ment of this pOst.-Republican.
