very good. Saturdays sales were

G. K. Weaver sold, some Of which
brought as high as 27 cents. Mr..
J. l. McCants had a good load for
which he received fine prices, one
lot brought 80 cents. This is the
highest VIC have heard of this sea-
son. 1t seems that anything hav-
ing the appearance of tobacco
will sell. One man had pile

stems, leaves, roots and all-the
entire stalk pulled up and cured.
This brought 81 cents.

it seems true, that the unmarried

not remain single long. This is
rapidly becoming not only a fine
tobacco market but a tirst-rate

BOTH ARE STRANGERS
And Each Chased the Other Into the
 Hands of the Law.

A man named McGuire arrived here Saturday morning from the south, en route to some northern camp being an engineer by profession. He was pretty well supplied with money and is not stingy with it when he sees some one that needs it worse than himself, though he don't like to have a man hold him up for all he has got.
 At MaricCpa he was braced by an impecunious colored man, who did not take the trouble to tell his name or anything else except that he was hun gry. McGuire gave him the price of his breakfast, and thought that would be the end of it. When he reached the Phoenix depot he beheld the colored man still shadowing him, and taking d lively interest in his welfare. Mo Guire went to the Commercial hotel and got a room. Later in the day he went into the barroom and was drink ing with a friend when his sombre shadow appeared, "butted in" and he bought him q drink. Later in the day
 McGuire went to his room and laid down. He had just dozed off when he was awakened by some one stirring around in the room, and there stood the black shadow with McGuire's pants in his kand
 Asked what he was doing, the negro replied that he was doing nothing, just strengthening things around. Then
 McGuire accused him of having taken some money from his pockets. He de- nied the charge and immediately left the room. MoGuire made an examina-
 ton and found he was short $52. He ported the case to Officer Lee Redwine, who took up the trail of the negro.
 He found him about 10 o'clock Satur- l day night in a Washington street sa- | loon, just about the time he had sac | rifiCed his last dollar in a heroic but | intellectual effort to break a crap game. He was taken to the county jail, where l he still is having no friends to bail him l out. His name is still one of the points

ROMERO'S CASE.

G. Romero was found guilty of the murder of Lindoh at Bisbee and sen tenced to be hanged on August 15 The case was appealed to the supreme court on the following grounds:
 First-That the evidence in the case vas insufficient to justify the verdict, and that the same is against evidence. (a) That there was no evidence that defendant inflicted the wound upon deceased, or that the deceased died from the effects of said wound. (b) There was no evidence that the wea- pon used was ever in the possession of the defendant. Co There was no evil cence that defendant ever knew de ceased or that he had ever had any quarrel or difference with him.
 Second-Misconduct on the part O. the district attorney in this: That in his closing argument to the jury he used language infammatory and calcu- lated to and did prejudice the jury against the defendant.
