 A letter from w. E. Gregory informs us that he has located on farm near Phoenix, Ariz., where he found land selling at at the modest price of S225.00 per acre. He said he did not purchase as much as a quarter section. The land Greg. says is adapted to orange growing and he will devote his attention in that direction. If he does we'll with the proposition, The Tribune editor will pro bably-remain in Arkansas.
 Charles Gonzales, the promo ter of Black Bear mine, was in town Monday wearing a rather badly lacerated scalp, the result of an encounter with Coe and Tom Hittson of the Black Bear vicinity. Bill Middleton, at whose house the difficulty occur ed, also received a rather badly cut hand inflicted by a blow point the same weapon used on Gonzales. The trouble arose Sunday over the disputed own- ership of coat which Gonzales was wearing.

 The Tribune's reference last week to the Pryor. Daily replevln suit some years ago aroused some poignant memories of At torney F. O.Butt and in order to direct us clearly into the facts, Mir. Butt took occasion to write us and admit that he was, along with his friend now Judge J. s. Naples, a signer of the bond and was present and acting when the costs amounting to more than a half thousand had to be "dug up" by the aforesaid bondmen. Fes says that the incident oc- cured more than eight years ago, but he is perceptably sore over it yet and the only way his name will ever go on another bond is to be run down and tied.
