Jadge Egan is one of tho most genial gentlemen, and as he rep resents the mining interests of this district, the Clariox com mends him to the press gang at Prescott and trusts that they will give him good treatment, which he deserves. There is in the Cluuox office a matured cotton plant which was grown as an experiment by R. A. Allrod, of Solomonville. The stalk reached a medium size, but is somewhat slender and presents the appearance of having been shaded in its growth. The bolls are not as numerous as could be desired. The "staple" is short but the fibre is of good quality, and the opening of the. bolls was perfect In fact it cannot be gain said that the cliuvite of Arizona is most propitious for a cotton crop, in so far as the opening an 1 pick ing season is concjrnei Should Mr. Allred attempt tho raisiug of cotton again wo would advise him to select a plat of ground which is expose! to tha suu at all tiuios of tha day, and top tho plants shortly after tho first blomi ap pear, and he will probably be iu a high degree successful.' AN I3P03TANT DECISION. Hon O. II. Hyatt, Irobate Juilfi f Graham County. Holds that I'nrirr tbr FdmnndH lav a Flo ral Wl.V t'anuol fchare in thr IHstrlbution of the Kstnte of Her II oiband. In last week's Clakiox we briefly referred to Judge Hyatt's action in setting aside a former decree entered in the Probate Court of this county, in the matter of the estate of John M. Moody, Sr., deceased. Moody was in his life time a resident of Pima, in this county, and was tho possessor of considerable real estate and other property. He died about a year ago, and an administrator was duly appointed, who took the usual course prescribed by law to settle np the estate, and on Octo ber ICth, 18S4. a decree was en tered in the Probate Court setting aside certain land and appurte nances thereto for tho use of tho alleged widow and children. On tho 5th day of January of this year a petition was hlou in court by an attorney representing an heir named Mary Wilkerson, a resident of . Utah, who claims to I e the daughter of Moody by his first "wife Margaret. ' The petition states as grounds for setting aside said decrets that the alleged widow and minor children are not the widow and minor children of said deceased, but that one Mary Wilkersou is the only surviving legitimate child, and heir at law of said deceased; and on the further ground that the decree set apart moro land than the law allows, and is in violation of the Statutes. On the hearing, the Court found the following facts: First That on the lGtb. day of October, on representations made to this Court that L.Iizabeth Moody was the widow of said deceased, u decree was made and entered as set forth in said petition. Second, lhat said deceased John M. Moody, Sr., was in tho year ISiO, in Griines county, State of Texas, married to one Margaret An-rlin, and that thereafter, in the year 1650, and while the said Mar ret Moody nee Anglm was still living and not divorced from him, the said John M. Moody, deceased, was married-to the said Elizabeth Moody bv the rites of the Mormon Church, by one Brigham Young. Third. That on the llitli day of February, 1880, said John M. Moody and Margaret Moody nee Anglin were divorced by a decree of tho District Court of "the Third Judicial District of Utah Territory. Fourth. That one Mary Wilker son, now living in Utah Territory, is the daughter and legitimate issue of said John and Margaret Moody. Whereupon the Court found as conclusions of law:. First That the said Elizabeth Moody was not the wife of John M. Moody, deceased, aud therefore is not his widow. Second. The decree setting apart a homestead under such circum stances and on the representations then made is null and void. Third. That this Court has full power and authority to set asido any decree made by itself under such circumstances. Fourth. That Mary Wilkerson is a legal heir at law of said de ceased, and as such entitled to share his property. Fifth. That by an act of Con gress approved March 2d, 1882, commonly known as the '"Ed munds Act," Sec. 7 the children named in said decree are legiti mate, and heirs of said deceased. Sixth. That said decree is in conflict with the Statutes in srch cases made and provided, in this: That it sets apart property to one not entitled. Therefore tho Court ordered that the decree bo set aside and declared null and void, and granted leave to the petitioner's attorney to move for-a proper decree. From Fort Grant. Foiit Gust, Ariz..

The troop has been ordered here and is expected to arrive next week. The officers are Capt John C. Thompson, commanding; First Lieut Geo. H Morgan, and Sec ond Lieut Joseph Dickman. Capt Thompson and Lieut Dickman are married men, so there will be a little more of "woman's smile" to add to the cheerfulness of Grant Con. Supervisor L N.

Attn., The Thirteenth Logisiiunro con - vencd on tho 12lh hist, and owing to the failure of membtrs to arrive adjourned until the next day. On the 13th both houses met with full attendance, and on the first ballot for temporary organization it was evident that a firm dead-lock ex isted in each. The Lower House finally effected a temporary organ ization, but the Council remains tho same. It is understood, how ever, that everything is fixed in the Council except permanent President, the Democrats con ceding that position to the Repub licans, with tho understanding that Ainsworth will not occupy the seat. It is thought that permanent or ganization will be made in two or three days in both houses. Tho fight on the new county proposition now appears to be the main one of the session, and al though it is possible tho bill may pass the Lower House, it is not probable that it will pass the Council. Among those here for the purpose of lobbying the same through are H. C. Hooker and Fred. Hughes, who are supposed to carry "sacks" "to accomplish their mission. Although little has been done in either house, Graham county's delegation have impressed people with the opinion that they will bo no unimportant factor in this Leg islature. Capt Bridwell stands staunch and true by tho Democrats in the Council, and will undoubt edly prove a good and true repre sentative of Graham county; whilo Mr. Sias is acknowledged to be one of the leaders of tho House, and is now prominent among those men tioned for Speaker. Mr. Sias stands by his colors in the Repub lican ranks, and is believed to be a representative who will see that Graham hiis all to gain and noth ing to lose. From a view of tho lobby the third house will likely bo well represented here during tho ses sion. Many moro are contem plating coming here, and it is believed that bullion will cut an important figure in several propo sitions. Some indignation is expressed towards both houses on account of their delaying proceedings in fighting over petty political issues, but it is thought that will soon be settled. Fitz. Dancan Dots.

' Poverty is the portion of a hero who long antedates Grant One of the white-haired and whiskered old men who toddle in New York, bearing the unmistakable evi dences of reversed fortunes, is Gen. John Fremont Half a century of adventure and bold scheming has left him poor. Of late he has uiado a living as a civil engineer. He is no pauper, nor in absolute penury, except by compfirison with his former pros porous estate. He is now on his feet again for another chance after wealth. His course lies to Mex ico, where ho is to survey, acquire and share in owning an immense tract of land. "I have hopes of dying a millionaire, after all," he said to me, before setting out, "but I may fail, and I am con vinced that this is my last chance. I haven't any time to lose, and I feel like a gambler who has wa gered his final remnant of money. My capital was energy, boldness, and POSSlblv soma brains, and T : " 1 have cot to the end of it after playing a pretty heavy game of alternate . varmings und losses. Tbis is the last, throw of dice." j 'i that , 4 , . 1 "very marAr:lttiffluEeenter- prise. The New Orleans City Item of January 14th says of the Ari zona Exhibit: "The Territory of Arizona has a display at the Ex position which commands the at tention and admiration of all. Arizona is almost unknown in this section, but the Exposition will interest and educate thousands as to the marvellous resources of the great land of sunshine and silver. Blessed with a splendid and equa ble climate, rich in fertile and prolific 6oil, dotted with numerous valuable mines of gold, silver, copper and lead, it can be readily seen that Arizona must necessarily make a fine showing. It has gen erally been believed by the outside world that Arizona was rich only ia minerals. Ac examination of the splendid samples of wheat, spuds, sugar cane, cotton and fruits in the Arizona exhibits, will soon oonviuce anyone of the im mense wealth of her land. The exhibit will, undoubtedly, attract the attention of capitalists, as all information possible is given by the Arizona commissioners,. to all who wish to learn something of the wonderful Territory. Salt River Valley in central Arizona is the great agricultural section and produces immense and profitable crops of grain. A source of great wealth in Arizona is copper mining. A glance at the display of copper in this department is simply bewildering in its immensi ty. A mammoth specimen of cpper ore weighing some 8000 pounds, stands directly in front of Arizona's mineral display." In regard to the recent visit of Mormon elders to the State of So nora the Church authorities in Salt Lako declare that it was for mis sionary pusposes only, tho object being to introduce the Book of Mormon, recently translated into the Spanish language, into the Yaquis tribe of Indians, and send missionaries who would instruct them in tho arts of peaco and civilization, as has been success fully done elsewhere by them. The Mexican authorities on the boundary line were fully cogniz ant of the purpose of the Mormon missionaries, and were anxious to have them carry out their inten tions from their previously known success in that section, giving full support thereto. . Tho Mormons claim to bo satisfied with Utah, and only leave it ns forced by lack of room, to settle in tho States and Territories adjoining. Tho missionaries did not see Chief Cajozine, and tho whole story of a treaty, defensive, or of coloniza tion, is entirely false. A dancing party was given in the new school house in Duncan last evening. The attendance was large, the beaux and belles of the Upper Gila being out in force. The music was from Clifton. Guests were present from Carlisle and Lordsburg. A most enjoy able time was had. Rosa Stein, late queen of the deuji niondo in Prescott, was killed in" Calico, California, a few days 3tx . She was a beautiful woman, and a great favorito with legisla tors.'' We tender -our condolence to the' members of either house. A land and cattle company, with 1,000,000 capital, has been organ ized in New York, which proposes to purchase 51,000,000 acres of land in Central Arizona and stock it with 25,000 head of cattle. A tannery and brewery have recently been established at No gales, situated on the Sonora Railway, on the Mexican boundary lino. ' Among those who registered at the United States the past week were Mr. Chits. Smith, Socorro, and MrJ Arthur Little, Tombstone. A fence-cutting war has been inaugurated in Colfax county, New Mexico. ItOltX. STEVENS. In Clifton. Graham connty, Arizona, Jannary 18, 1881, to the wife of Moses V.
