 THE PRINTERS MINE.-M n. Lat tin. superintendent of the Printers syn dicate. will leave this morning for the White Tank mountains to begin opera tion on the property. He will be met al Beardsley by William O'Grady of Pres colt, one or the officers of the company. The members of the syndicate are four Prescott printers. and the claims se- cured by them are said to be of con- siderable value. An arrangement had been made at one time to bond them. but just then there was a threatened litigation which acted like q wet blanket on the deal.
 WAITING FOR A WITNESS.-The Nearing of the case of Richard Watson, charged with an assault upon Juan Ar ros with intent to commit murder was continued in Justice Burnett's court yesterday until Monday. The case was postponed in the first place to see whether the charge against Watson should not be changed from murderous assault to murder. for it was then | thought that Arros was going to die. He has, however. been steadily improv-
 ing and he is so nearly well now that | it is thought by Monday he will be able to appear as a witness
 | A MISTAKEN REPORT.-It was
 erroneously stated in the Enterprise
 last evening that Ben George. ST. of Tempe. died yesterday morning. Mir.
 George is very i'll of pneumonia, but so far as known there is yet strong hope
 for his recovery. The error occurred l through a telephone message being re-
 ceived by Henry George, relative to the
 funeral of the little daughter of Dr.
 and Mrs. Charles H. Jones. Knowing
 of Mir. Georges severe illness and the
 message being indistinctly heard over
 the telephone. there was confusion of
 names in the conversation.
 RAILROAD MEN MEET.-With no prearrangement whatever. and with no l subsequent organization, there was a | grand rally of railroad men. mostly travelling representatives. in this city yesterday. They did not come for the , purpose of meeting interviewing ! each other. but simply to look out for business for their respective lines. If
 the local merchants failed to secure
 rates yesterday prospective ship
 ments they might as well go way back
 and sit down for a while. for nearly all
 the competitors were here. and if any body wanted to do any talking. yester- day was the time for it. Beside the resi- dent railroad people. who met and
 mingled fraternally with the visitors.

 J. ERNEST WALKERS ILLNESS Since the failure of J. Ernest Walker it has been intimated that he had left the
 country without informing his creditors
 of his wherea bouts, and it has also
 been intimated that his illness was lfeigned in great measure. Both these , rumors a gross injustice to MT. Walker. who is still here and who is a
 very sick man. A gentleman with 
 dentally one of his creditors. is author ity for the statement that he went out
 to call on him yesterday at the resi- I dence of MT. D. D. Horning and found his condition as stated above. He is ? confined to his bed and is very weak | much of the time to weak to walk. He E has been troubled for months at ire | quently recurring intervals with se- I were pain in his head and this is now y lone of the symptoms of his trouble He is perfectly rational for a time " and then when seized with the pain ir ! his head almost at once becomes in = coherent. His greatest anxiety is that the people shall fully understand tha
 his failure occurred through circum- f stances which he could not control n that he is a complete bankrupt, having = reserved nothing and that he has nc g desire and has made no effort to ge = jaway. He is receiving the constan 5, and most careful attention of Mrs Y Walker and her mother. who are doins k all that careful nursing can for his re ;. lcovery.
