And gszed q, the lofty tower,
As the sun shone DER the city,
With all his tortid power
gaged AZ the sunburnt balbers,
In the waters under me,

Some sympathy comes DER me.
And I resort 10 tears.
But, OH a wild temptation
Steals subily over me;
The "loop loop, F." seek for,

And whenever cross the drawbridee

Navaj0s on the Ramage

About one year ago the trad ing post of Charles Calm was robbed and no clue whatever could be obtained as to the per petrators of the burglary, but late developments have brought to light the fact that two Navajo Indians who, a few days ago, burglarized Lorenzo Hubbell S trading post at Keams Canyon, were undoubtedly the culprits. It appears that this pair of origi- nal Americans have for some time been offering and also steal ing stock from Indians and oth- CTS, who become tired of the abuse and notified (. E. Burton, the Indian agent, in the hope that it would put a stop to the depredations. Agent Burton, upon this information, detailed some nine Indian police to ap- prehend the miscreants. The po- lice were successful in so far as capturing one offender, whom they securely bound and dashed to a cedar tree, but unfortunate ly at the time this was accomp- lished, eleven other Indians ap- peared and forced the officers to depart, after which they released the captive. The desperadoes now threaten the lives of both Messrs. Burton and Hubbell, ac- cording to advices received here. The sheriff is awaiting official in- formation, and if such informa- ton warrants, he and posse will at once depart on a roundup of the renegades.

Mexican Bound Over

The case of Phillipi Cortez, the Mexican section hand at Navajo Springs, who was mentioned in last weeks ARGUS as being charg- ed with entering refrigerator car and stealing eight crates oi grapes, came up for hearing be- fore United States Commissioner Wattron on Monday last. Spe- cial Officers Watson of Winslow and SchoOnover and Howard oi Gallup appeared in court against the defendant. Cortez entered a plea of not guilty and was bound over to the federal grand jury in the sum of $500, in default oi which he was remanded to jail at Prescott. There had pre- viously been some little hitch in regard to who should prosecute, the county of Navajo or the fed eral government. United States Attorney Nave decided it was a federal case and instructed Deputy United States Attorney John H. Campbell to proceed to Holbrook and prosecute the humbre. Cortez is a citizen of Mexico, and leaves a 16-year-old wife, with four children by a pre- vious marriage.
