the fishermen who use flies strung with
fine translucent catgut are aware that
the s1most unbreakable substance that
holds the hooks against the fiercest
struggles of the struck fish comes from

employed are raised near Tore An

caterpillars are killed just as they are

WHIPPLE IN JAIL.

Sheriff Turner returned to town last night from Clifton. having in custody Harry Whipple, who held up and robbed Supervisor Richard Farrell and A. F. Crepin and Nat Crocumb on the road from Harshaw to Washington Camp on August 25, last. Whipple has been in the saddle almost constantly since the day he compelled citizens of Santa Cruz county at the point of a gun to deliver their money and valu- ables to him, and Sheriff Turner has been just as continuously on his track, following him through Sonora to the line of Chihuahua and then tracing him through the latter state, through New Mexico and back into Arizona. The gold watch and chain taken by Whip pie from Supervisor Farrell has been recovered and is now in the possession of the officers. Sheriff Turner is t. be congratulated upon the success attend ing his effort to bring Whipple back for trial.-NogaleS Vidette.

 "In those days" says MT. Jefferson, sea island cotton was stage ice cream, just as mOlasses and water was stage wine, sherry. or port, according to the proportion of molasses. Armand and Camille were seated at the table where they had been enjoying such viends as these, and their dialogue was making; the very best sort of impression on a crowded house. Then in came that maid servant with the wabbliest sort of candelabra. The scene was so en- crossing that she was scarcely noticed, but when she set down her burden be- tween the lovers and one candle top pied over and put the ice cream in q

AMBITIONS OF CoCH1sE.

A Cochise correspondent of the Bisbee Review says:
 You may ha ye a thriving town, and we know you have. You also have the town of Naco and the bustling, boom ing town of Douglas. but just keep your eye on Cochise for a few months and see if we don't grow from a hundred people to a thousand or more.
 Over one hundred cars of material are now here for the new Cananea. Yaqui River an6 Pacific railroad. We are going to be the terminus and town lots that went begging a few days ago are being sold to outsiders at good prices. Henry Ls1ub of Los Angeles is investing heavily, having bougfe. ever twenty-five lots, which he will i'm prove. Others are also buying and Ly the time dirt commences to fly for the Lew road the town will be on a boom and corner lots will go humming.
 The Peabody mine is again in full blast while the Old Terrible has com pleted its twentY-stamp mill and is puffing away. With these going and the opening up Of the Pearce camp, also the Black Dia amond and Turquoise camps will make this town a hummer. We want the other end of the county to know that we are doing somCthing at this end and you want to keep one eye on us and watch us grow from a village to q thriving town of the county
