 A SALE OF SHEEP-Campbeu & Francis yesterday made a sale of sheep at the highest price ever obtained in this territory or perhaps ever paid in the entire southwest. They sold a large bunch of shorn sheep to P. T.. Hurley for S4 a head. These sheep had just brought to the sellers on an average about $1.50 of wool. Taking the value of the wool and the price for the bare sheep, they brought as much as if they had been sent to the eastern market.
 STAR ROUTE MAILS-The Buck eye mail carrier that was due in PhOe- nix Friday night had not been heard from at a late hour last night and it is likely that he will not be for some time The Cave Creek mail carrier arrived last night dropped his mail pouch and immediately hid out before he could be interviewed. It is suppos- ed he is heartily ashamed of the way Cave Creek has been acting and hav- ing no excuse to offer he is trying to dodge the issue.
