It is worth a trip to the freight de

quantities of freight which come iu
daily.
The tracks at the depot, are being

ine aown graae oi the track m
Tucson renders the handling of cars
a problem of easy solution. All that
i& necessary is to leave the train in
the yard " at the round-house, and
when a car is wanted at the depot it
has only to be " turned loose."
The large warehouse of L. Zecken -

a few days ago, hag been commenced
It is located just east of the depot and
will be a very extensive affair, as it
needs mutt be to accommodate the

Building in the vicinity of the depot
still continues brisk, notwithstanding
the tact that the manipulation of

the present cool weather. It now
looks as if the time will not be far
distant when there will be ample- ac

railroad employes.

school and the depot is again a sea of

is urgent When will our City Dads

Ti r-v, December 4.
Citizi.n. In vour daily ot
the 3d I notice an article purporting
to be an "editorial,'' under the cap
tion w Bound Over," which does gross
injustice to Mr. Sanford. That you
are not tbe writer ot the article in
question I um well satisfied. The
" ear marks " and ' ' brands " are en
tirely too distinct to leave a donbt S3
to the identity and ownership of the
writer
I never have and do not now pro
pose to try any of my eases in the
newspapers, but the pretended recital
of testimony and fact iu the article
referred to are so grossly distorted and
exaggerated that I would be wanting
in every sense of right and j'istice if
did not reply to this most remarkable
effort to prejudice his case and black
en ha reputation. Permit me to cnl(
your attention to a few of the mis
statements of facts, evidence and con
elusions.
I quote: "San ford moreover mani
fested an unusual ofifciousness by assist
ing U drive the cattle several miles
on tbe road to Tucson, the reason for
which was not so apparent at the tim
as it suosequenuy became, une o
the eattle, a cow three years old, pecu
liariy marked by nature and well
known to Sanford and his vsqueros
made her escape and returned to th
ranch. Sanford utanifeiied much in.
patience until she was secured and on
her way to market." (The italics are
mine.)
As to the first part of this statement,
there was no testimony of anything
unusual in the conduct of Sanford in
helping to drive the cattle ; no proof
that he and other sellers of cattle did
not always do so, and that he and all
others should do so under all circum
stances is most natural, and no fair
minaea man, whether interested or
not, would sees to draw from it any
inference unfavorable to Mr. Sanford
But the animus of tbe writer is more
apparent from tbe latter part of the
quotation given above, for there was
not one word of testimony in the case
as to Sanford s conduct or actions
when the cow returned, nor even that
he was ajt home at that time, or kinw
of her return. The public must judge
of the strength of the case made by
the prosecutor, and the results of the
Colonel's most wondertul cross-examination
when, to convince them of Mr.
ganrord's guilt, sued statements are
made a statement which not only has
no foundation in the testimony, 'jut
which in fact is not true.
"he writer also asserts that there
had been a controversy over this an
imal wnen a call, and that it was
anally recognized by the turtles as
the property of Vail A Harvey. That
the calf referred to, and the contro
versy over it, was in no way connected
with the case was clearly proven. The
controversy referred to occurred De
cember iS, 1878. The witness for the
prosecution who testified in regard to
It further testified that the calf at that
time was three or four months old ;
so that, if that was the animal in ques
tion, it could not have been at the
time of the sale by Santord, in July
last, more than two years old, wheieas
the witness for the prosecution who
bought the cow and butchered her, as
well as the writer of this remarkable
article, both say she was then three
years old, while several of the wit
nesses testified she was four years f id.
The attempted ident iflcatiou of this
cow by the prosecution was shown to
be a complete failure by their own
testimony. We shall not stop to dis
cuss whether the brand found on the
hide after the hair was removed was
the brand of Vail & Harvey or not.
Mr. Harvey admitted under oath that
in two cases theyhad branded calves
belonging to Mr. Sanford by mistake.
If that mistake was made in two in
stances it is altogether possible th-it it
occurred in others (and hereafter we
will show, if it becomes necessity,
that such mistakes did occnr in oilier
instances), and if so, the finding of
their brand would be very far from
conclusive proof that they owned the
animal so branded. Whatever con
troversy there may be as to whether
the brand is that of Vail & Harvey.it
was distinctly proves in me case
that of the seven or eight men present
when this cow was sold and vented,
not one discovered any mark or btand
but that of Mr. Sanford, and if that
be true, no larceny was committed, no
matter who owned the cew.
But the proof was conclusive and
satisfactory that the cow was the
property of Mr. Sanford. Not one
witness attempted to contradict the
fact that she had Mr. Sanford's car-
mark and if so, she could not have
been the property of Vail & Harvey;
for while Sanford's mark could be
readily changed to theirs, it would be
an utter impossibility to change their
mark to Mr. Sanford's.
I have no hesitation in saying that
no case has been made against Mr.
Sanford not a fact or circumstance
brought out by the prosecution that
cannot be readily and satisfactorily
met and overthrown or explained. If
you and. your readers will be patient,
little time will doubtless make clear
to you and them the motives and pur
poses of this prosecution. When we j
remember that this alleged crime oc- i
curred last year; that about the mid
dle of August the hide was in the pos
session of tbe society; that months
have been allowed to pass without an
arrest; that the matter was not brought
to the attention ot the lfl-t Grand Jury
!. ;r. -ocimou. lm: -that the de
i -h: : a; 2 urge the District Attorney
u have the matter submitted to the
, . ' . 1 ..
A
unfair and ttntruo statement of the
cage and testtmoy, it bocomos appar
ent that somo other object than the
proper punishment of crirpe uuder
liles and prompts the prosecution.
Whilst no guilty' man, no matter
what his standing and wealth, should
escape conviction and prosecution,
such efforts to blacken the character of
an old and reputable citizen should re
ceive the prompt condemnation of all,
not only upon that ground but also
because, being well calculated to pre
judice further proceedings in the case,
it is an outrage upon the administra
tion of justice.
I have no doubt, Mr. Editor, but
that the article in question was pre
pared and furnished you, and that ou
permitted Us publication without such
examination or knowledgoof the facts
as would enable you to see its impro
priety. Respectfully,
Jonx Hatses,
Attorney for D. A. Sanford.

The blight is gradually lettling
down on this frontier town, and such
n condition ot things will soon prevail
that a man can't run for office unless
he is an adept in the ' ' raqu-1." In
order, therefore, to enlighten the am
bitious reader in regard to hi duty
and need the Citizkn gives the Xew
York World's version of the fearful
and wonderful "dance." The World's
version is given, as tho staff of this
moral and religious family journal is
sadly dolicient m " funny " men and
scrap-book editors :
The latest thing in dancing is called
"raquct, and is neither a waltz nor a
polka, though the best parts of both
are preserved. The music strikes up
with a crnph, as though a new volcano
linil broken out, and tne girl will cling
titrlitly as tlmugh frigutencd, if she
understands the dance, and the youn
man will reissure her by a gentle pres
sure, it he understands the dance or
knows anything at all. At the second
crash they dodge as though some one
had thrown a blacksmith shop
them, and the start in. They begin
by imitating tbe struggle tor life, rep
resenting a person who is drowning,
hut at each crash of the cymbals and
bass-drain they dodge and scoot to one
side, then dart back again, jam each
each other sideways, and then, as the
crashes ot music become more terrific
and deafening, they try to drive each
other tlirouirii tlte tloor by main
strength, get desperate and claw, and
tear and pull, and all at once they go
ravine mau with hydrophobia and de
lirium tremens, and gnash their teeth
and rave and suiter the most terrible
agony and all is over. It is a short
dance, as the design is tmusement.
and not murder. Hut she t as it is, it
is said to he very sweet.
Moilcaii Colouration
Last evening the Mexican citizens
of Tucson celebrated in a very en thu
siastic manner the inauguration of
General Gonzales as President of the
Republic of Mexico. The booming of
cannon, the glare of bonfires, tne joy
ous national songs and the congratu
latory spreches of Scnor Carlos Ve-
Iasco and others showed that our
Moxican fellow citizens fully appreci
ate the blessings of the peace and
prosperity which reigns in their fair
land, so dear to their patriotic hearts
A President peacefully inaugurated in
Mexico is an evidence that the best
men ot the country are at the helm,
and that henceforth tbe progressive
march of Mexico will lie triumphant
and grand to a front rank among the
nations of the earth. Her people have
turned from revolution to industry.
from internal dissension to the efforts
which alone are necessary to make
Mexico a truly great country. Our
-Mexican fellow citizens do well to
celebrate so important an event.
SliuotiiiK Airrny at Wllloox.
During the progress of a drunken
quarrel yesterday at WHleox, a soldier
named James M. Justice, a corporal
iu Company C, Slxtn Cavalry, shot a
Moxican named Demetrio Camillo
with a levotvcr. Tho bullet passed
through the Mexican's arm and ranged
along the back, burying itself under
the shoulder blade. Dr. Rorke, of
Cam) Grant, was called to the assist
ance ot the wounaeti man, ami lie
found the injury to be serious, though
not necessarily fatal. Caraillo was
sent into the hospital iu this city for
treatment, and Deputy Sheriff A. F.
Burke arrested and brought in Justice
and lodged him in jail to await ex
amination before Jndge Neugass,
which examination has been deferred
o the 8th, to allow Mr. Burke time to
collect the necensarv evidence.

This morning Ben Pearlman showed
your correspondent some rich ore

three and a half feet. They are now
down 80 feet, and under Mr. Pearl
mini s .supertniemiencv the company

saving to mining companies, as they
can have their mills on their claims.
Outrage om.
'A reporter of the Citubk was this
mornlng'caned. It took two stalwart
and.very good-looking men, Messrs.
R. Painter and Harry B. Maxson, to do
it, and the weapon wlrch was used was
a very unique and handsome manza
nita cane. It was ut in the Chiri-
cahua Mountains, near the new city
of Galevville, and bore the big-hlr
veracious inscription, 1 4 Supposed to
have been planted by tbe Apache
Chief Cachise in the Chiricahua
Mountains many years ago." The re
porter still survives bis frightful in
juries, and will continue, to haunt this
ancient and honorable pueblo in search
of the evanescent item especially as
the gentlemen named have also
adorned the Citizen's cabinet with
several especially handsome and rich
sjiecimens from the Texas Con . mine,
near Galeyville, which will soon be
pouring forth its bullion to enrich the
territory. Mr. Fainter also left at
this office a beautiful branch of mistle
toe, the historical shrub so dear to the
English heart, under which at Christ
mas the youth of the ' ' old country '
are wont to gather for tbe interchange
ot sweet pieuges or mutual anection.
The gentlemen will please accept our
gratitude it's all we have to give.

What' t . Xattar-Now r
Last night s Cmzssr contained a
seUcted item, in the prelude to which
webesoaned the sad truth that oar
staff did not comprise either a " funny'
man or a scrap-book editor. It was
said merely in a spirit of regret, but
the Star, the only newspaper in Ari
zona, this morning berates us most
soundly, and scolds in a vicious and
shrewish manner more becoming
irate fish-wife than a great morning
educator. Good gracious! it ts not
possible that we could by our regret
ful remark have trodden on some
body's toes! If we have we will take
it all back and admit reluctantly that
the Star man is not tbe least bit funny
oven though such admission sap the
foundation of Ibis republic and sink our
modest little pueblo out of sight la the ;
bottomless abyss of forgetfulness.

Ban Fraxcisco, November 4. In
the Mussel Slough case yesterday af
ternoon, D. W. Parkhurst, agent for

he impossible to restrain tbe members
of the league; also to being railed out
of bod by masked and armed men and
toid to leave tne country. He was
treated in a gentlemanly manner, and
the action against him by tbe league
was not based on persoaal grounds,
but on his connection with the rail
road company.
In tbe Superior Court, to-day, a mo
tion to set aside the indictments for
felony against Sheriff Desmond was
granted. Dr. DeWolf was put on the
stand, and the defense tried to show
by his testimony that the object of the
settlers' military organization was for
the nurpose of defense against Mexi-
ican land titles. The witness, bow-
ever, declined to commit himself to
that view of the matter.
Consideration of the charges against
Expert Kaplan was poaponed till De
cember 18, to give defendants time to
plead.
In the Schroeder trial, this after
noon, the evidence ef a number of ths
prisoner's friends was taken to show
a change in bis state or mind after
discovery of bis wife's guilt. It is
probable the evidence will be all in
to-morrow.

shows that the demand for 'the stand

though it appears that to this time but
about 34 per cent . of tbe entire amount
coined is in circulation. In addition
to the ordinary influences for tbe dis

by the people of the South

created an extensive demand for tbe
new dollar in that quarter.
