The saloon men of Tombstone are de termined to have justice. ' The Bisbee steam wagon is doing such Rood work, that the mules have begun to kick. Tomy Gates, succeeded in "catching" on to the position of superjntendant of the prison. Billy Fay, a well known sporting man of Tombstone left for, El Paso yester day. Mexicans are getting to be quite ex pert in the American art ol stand and aeitver. Wallace Corbet, and General Rollins, are located in Los Angeles, in the real estate business. Has anybody seen the color $20,000 said to have been up ocean yacht race. of on the the The anarchists must go. This country dont desire to be ruled by a class of this kind fur a time at least. Father Dolje, the genial catholic priest returned yesterday from Bisbee, at which place he had been on church" business. The new license law went into oper ation the first of April. So the battle agnnst it, is to be fought at once. The Rattlesnake mine is now reported as enjoying a boom. It is productipg an immense quantity of rock of a high grade. The autopsy of the remains of H. J. Brawley revealed the fact that a blood vessel of the heart had bilrsted, which without doubt caused his death. Jim Eate anil Catlett 'are working a new "find',' in the Dragoons and are of the opinion .ithat th'cjr. prospects are great. The Supervisors of Pima have, in a way, set down on their county physician and ordered him' to buy his hospital stores and medicines in open market instead of by contract. Mr. V. V, Woodman returned from the Omega mine in Sonora yesterday. The question of the erection of hoisting works on that property has been aban doned for the present. Mr. E. J. Terrill, who has been pros pecting in the Huachucas for the past two mounths returned Tuesday to. this city. Mr. Terrell is looking better for his trip. The Epitaph is pleased to learn of the appointment of Richard Rule to the po sition of Secretary to the Prison Commis sioners. Dick is a competent, reliable man, and will fill the place with credit and ability. , By increasing the salary of its Gover nor from '54,000 to 8,000 Ohio hopes to secure greater men for that 'place. vNow that the thing has been made an object, perhaps Rutherford B. Hayes would try it again. The men who make the dynamite shells to be used in the United States navy think that one of them will kill a thousand men, blow up a ship, or destroy a ten-story building, but they are having trouble in finding things to experiment on. , t Another Boston jury has decided that shaving on Sunday is neither a work ol charity nor of necessity and that it is therefore unlawful. .With a great many of the younger generational Bostonians shaving is clearly a work ef supereroga tion. 1 Jesus, that is Jesus Cahoe, notjesus ef Nazarathwho.was tried before Pontius Pilate, but a modern Mexican who was accused of violating the name of "The Redeemer," was tried before Justice Shearer for stealing a blanket. The jury forgave him and in an off way in the ab sence ol proof said, "g and sin no more." ' ' Persuant to a call of several saloon men of Tombstone a large number of liquor dealers met at the City Hall last evening for the purpose of advising as to the best method to be adopted in reference to the late unjust license Uw enacted by the fourteenth legislature. There were a large number of interested men present and Henry Campbell was unanimously elected President of the Association, Harry Stevenson Secretary, and Chas. Haefner Treasurer. After the election of officers the following' resolutions were adopted without division by the organiza tion and the members present signi fied their approval of the docu ment by attaching their signatures there to. Whereas, The last Legislatuse of the .Territory of Arizona passed . new Li cense Act, which we the liquor dealers ol the City of Tombstone and of Territory generally deem unjust and discriminat ing, being class Legislation, in that it applies only to one class of business, and exempts others and also as being illegal and unconstitutional, and in direct con flict with the Harrison act, for the government of Territories. Therefore be it Resolved, That we the liquor dealers (wholesale and retail) of the city of Tomb stone, county of Cochise, Territory of Arizona in meeting assembled, do now constitute ourselves into a permanent or ganization to be known as the Liquor Dealers Protection Association of Tomb stone, Resolved, That the object of this As sociation shall be the mutual protection of each other against unjust extortion and discrimination of outside influ ences. Resolved, That this Association thank and assist the Prescott Aassocia tien in their endeavors to contest this un just License Law in the courts of this Territory andlf neccessary carry it to the Supreme Court of the United States. Resolved, That this Association be assessed prorata of all expenses for con testing the same. Resolved, That we cordially inuite all the Liquor dealers of the county of Co chise to act with us or when possible to form separate association and notify the President of the Tombstone Association of such organization, the name of Presi dent and number of members. Resolved, That the officers of this Association shall consist of a President Secretary and Treasurer. Resolved, That all Liquor it is in the favor of the former. At the time that Balfours father commenced his career as an evictor Strathcairne was inhabited by one of the most prosperous communities in the Highlands, a large proportion of the people being compara tively well to do. Balfour commenced depriving them of the hill and pasture held in common. At one blow the peo ple were reduced from independence. Next he deprived them of their arable lands and finally evicted them, though not owing him one penny of rent, The depopulated glens were converted into sheep walks, deer forests and plan tations. Eight districts were successive ly cleared, until Belfour could boast .that he had flung 500 Highlanders homeless on the world. OFFICIAL BEPOBT. Sonora Hydraulic Gold Fields-' T. J. Williams, a well-known mining man, is in from Sonora. He has been down as far as this Yaqui river, and re ports a tract of country between it and the Rio de Batepito as a rich placer country, paying all the way from a cent to three cents a pan. The placer tract is about four miles lor.g by over a mile wide. Every foot of t will prospect. Mr. Williams says the lay of the country is such that it could easily be worked by the hydraulic process and pay millions, as plenty of water cm easily be obtained from the Yaqui river. He says if dig gings were in California there would be a thousand men 'working them to-day. There is no shekens law in Mexico, and it is Mr. Williams' iitentinn to organize a company in California for the purpose of working the ground by hydraulic means. He reports that the Mexicans of that section are anxicis to see Ameri can capital and energy there, as the coun try has been known 'or a long time and no well organized attempt ever made to work it in a business-like way. dealers desiring to become members of this Asso ciation, will sign their names to these res olutions.

Campbell Joe Bignon Fred Wald Ireland Judgement: Tremendous excitement prevails In all parts of Ireland over the new Coercion bill, out-door meetings are being held and the ministry are denounced by the people in very severe terms. In all places there is an intense unity of feeling favor the Fational League and a hatred of the Government. It is now fully understood said'one person, "how the Ameri cans of 1775 must have hated Lord North tne Salisbury of that day, who wished to govern the Colonial nome mem bers with alien laws, alien taxation and with the propositions to try the Boston patriots in London." These and many other expressions show how deeply the patriotic feeling of the Irish people are stirred. The scence in the House of Commons and the dignified withdrawal and protest of Mr. Gladstone- with his Liberal associates and Parnell and his associates have been' telegraphed all over Ireland. The name of Balfour is becom ing so hateful that many cool heads fear the consequences of his return. Free man's Journal has been looking up his family record and finds that the Chief Secretary is apolitcian who must take a filial interest in evictiors, his father hav ing depopulated a district in the Scotch Highlands, the inhabitants of which were the owners in old times, He was no half hearted evictor. Even in the history ol Irish landlordism, few more iniquitous exterminations have been recorded. If tnere were any difference between the Steins Peak Frank Balurdo returned yesterday from Volcano City at which place he has been in business for the past three months. Frank has leased his fine sa loon to Mr. Hood who is post-master and merchant at that place. Mr. Wyatt the man who was shot some time since is rapidly recovering from his wounds and will in a tew days be well enough to be moved to Lordsburg to be near his phy sician. The man who did the shooting was taken to Deming and upon examin ation was set free. Frank reports every thing in and around Volcano City as prosperous as ever and has unbounded faith in the future of that district. The mines are all looking well and getting richer as depth is attained. This district is like all other new districts it needs capital before it begins to prosper, and it looks as though this coy maiden capi tal would soon lend her aid for the devel opment of the many mines in this sec tion. Merioan Thieves. Four Mexicans raided the ranch of the Monk brothers, near Bowie, last night and stole their entire band of horses. William Monk, a brother of our Probite Judge, and the Deputy She riff at Willcox, went in persuit of the thievs who it is reported were moving rapidly eastward. This gang of Mexican vagabonds are depredating throughout entire Southern Arizona, and they have succeeded in obtaining many valuable horses. Sheriff Slaughter and a posse of six men left last evening for the purpose of interceptingthese jailbirds. Knowing Mr. Slaughter's qualities as a stayer, we anticipate that these fiends will come to grief. County Records. The following documents were filed in the County Recorder's office yester day: Deeds of mines. J. C, Bullard to Edward Moorehousc interest in Emily mine, Tombstone , District: $100. Bill or sale. James Percy et al! to W. H. McKittrick All cattle running on the Oak Grove range in their brands; $1 5 000. A cursory perusal of some Eastern Re publican newspapers leads to the horri ble suspicion that it is going to take a big pull this year to "save" Rhode Is land. Can it be possible that Rhode Is land, that ancient principality of the Almighty Dollar, where citizenship de pends jipon money, is in danger of wan dering off after strange gods? A recent letter from Washington says several of the oldest and most experi enced correspondents in that town have gone over to the Spiritualists, and that they are dragging many of the newer members of the fraternity after them.
