 4 JAIL MUTINY.-A mild mutiuy which has been in progress in the county jail, came to an end yesterday. The prisoners had always been as well contented as prisoners can be until a little more than a week ago a man hy the name of A. C. Willis was put in jail Willis at once began to find things wrong with the food lie pointed out inferioYities that the Othe' prisoners had never thought of and d clamor fer new regimen went up. IL was principally directed at the office Of the sheriff which has nothing what ever to do with the bill of fare or any control over the contractor. Then the prisoners began to make things un- pleasant and discipline had 10 be re- sorted to. The prisoners demanded among other things syrup and bacon which is worth it's weight in silver now. They did not get it and then they adjourned the kangaroo COurL and threw away the records. Thus they cut themselves off from many dainties which they had been able to buy with the fines. Yesterday they said that they took another view of the case and said that the Kangaroo court would be reopened at the first oppor- tunity.
 SHEEP OF TWO TERRITORIES Within the next two months there will be more sheep within the Salt River valley or along it's borders than can be found anywhere else in the United States within the same area. Robert Walton. who came down from Flag staff a few days afo. said that thera would be not less than 40O O00 sheep from the northern part Of the terri tory brought down. Many Of them are already on the way and some of them have arrived on the desert north oz the city. If the feed remains good there they may not be brought into the valley proper at all. MT. WaltoT said that he saw at CoTdes. on their way here d band of 10000. Sidney Scott, a big sheep owner from the north said that beside the Arizona sheep great numbers are, being brought from New Mexico. A great many of them are being brought here for early fattening. for sheep can be prepared for the market here earlier than any where else in the United States eX- cept one place in Texas. It is pos sible to put valley sheep on the market as early as April. MT Scott wa5 asked if the invasion Of the sheep was not hard on the cattle in. tho ranges north of the city. He replied that there were no cattle there They have all been sold off.
