A dispatch to the Journal-Dem
ocrat from Gallup says that the
Navajos and Lagunas are expected
to spill blood. A Navajo killed a
Laguna and surrendered himself
to the authorities. At his prellm-
mary examination fifty Navajos,
armed to the teeth, put in an ap
pearance at Laguna, where the
hearing was taking place. The In
dians thought the prisoner would
be attacked by the Lagunas and
were there to protect him. AS a
bitter hatred exists between the
Navajos and Lagunas, trouble OF o
serious nature is sure to follow.
Would it not be we'll to prohibit
gambling altogether and avoid all
of this trouble in granting gambl-
ing licenses? An act of Congress
or of the Legislature would be ne
cessary to make gambling illegal,
but the city could restrict, if not
prohibit, it by putting a high IL
cense on the games.-Tucson Post.
In the United States Court at
Tombstone on Wednesday OF last
week the cases against Billy Stiles
Burt Alvord were called and At
torneY Flanagan entered a plea of
not guilty in each case. There
were four indictments and the bail
was fixed at $1,000 This is the sum
in which Alvord is held, and the
cases of both are set for trial De-
cember 10th. 1t is said that a
bond will be raised for Alvord, but
not for Stiles.
It is with pleasure that we note
the many improvements in the
Typographical appearance Of the
Wickenburg News-Herald, and Ed
itor Perkins has the happy faculty
of keeping his editorial, local and
mining departments up to that
standard of mechanical excellence.
The News-Herald's former quasi
editor by his vacation of the tri-
pod conferred a favor upon the pro-
fession and rendered material aid
to the mining industry, as he is
said to be working nicely between
the shafts Of o wheelbarrow, while
the field that he SO thoroughly
prostituted is rapidly regaining
the strength lost under his baneful
mouthings. Dick Wick Hall is one
of Drawn devoid of decency, and
his desertion of the editorial chair
to weld the pick and shovel is evi-
dence that there are lucid moments
in Dick Wiok's wakefulness. We
congratulate the Hassayampas.-

The rev posGotfice building at

now completed and a general idea
of of the building can be had, says
the Enterprise. 1t will be some
time yet, perhaps September 1st or
18th, before the postoffice can be
moved into it, but when this is
done the postoffice site will be set
tied, at least until the next con-
gress, when Delegate Wilson will
try to have the whole thing done
over asking congress to appropri-
ate 100000 for q postofice build
ing at Phoenix. He really expects
to get the bill through, with the
appropriation cut down to $780,
900. but he will ask for 100000 on
the grounds that it is better to de-
mand q fortune than to beg a
hand-out.

last week between Santa Fe passen-

that three hobos, who were beating
their way on the train, were killed.
