Ir occurs, and has occurred more
than once tbat soldiers Bent in to
Clifton for dispatches and orders,
have neglected theirduty in await
ing important messages, have
managed to conceal themselves
about town so that the operator
could not find them, and when
found after several searches, em
bracing honrs of what might be
valuable time, have coolly pocket
ed the message for the time being,
giving themselves up to pleasure
meanwhile, and departing when it
suited their colored convenience.
If necessary the individuals can

public good it is desirable, will be.

niittee has decided to report favor
ably Judge Payroll's bill to de
prive aliens of the right to acquire
and hold real estate in the District
of Columbia or any of the Terri
tories -of the United States. The
maasure is as follows:
Be it enacted. Tbat no non-resident
alien or foreigner, nor any
resident alien or foreigner who has
not declared his intention to be
come a citizen of the United States,
nor any incorporation or associa
tion where, at most, one-tenth of
its stock or right of property is
owned or controlled by aliens Or
foreigners, shall acquire or own,
hold or possess, by right, title, or
descent accruing hereafter, any
real estate in any of the Territories
of the United States; provided,
that the provisions of this act shall
not apply to the real estate necess
ary for the construction and
operation of any railroad.
If ore Apache Hellishnr-tt!.
As was predicted by tho Clarion
Graham County is now the seat of
Apache operations again, and the
same old route by way of Eagle
Creek is the one taken by them.
The criminal carelessness of leav-
ing the whole eastern lino of the
reservation unguarded is once more
apparent This line stretches
along in a northerly and southerly
direction for upwards of seventy
five miles through a mountainous
country, thinly peopled, abound
ing in natural fortifications and
hiding places, and having many
trails which all seem to converge
in New Mexico at convenient points
and thence on ofl'oring easy egress
into Chihuahux This has always
been the side of the reservation,
at least during lat9 years, from
which tho Apaches have broke out
on their raids and it seoms strange
that no precaution has been taken
to prevent the repetition, which is
now already come, during the
present season. Clifton is a nat
nral base for operations against
the Apaches. A large proportion
of the outrages committed have
been in the immediate vicinity. We
have railway and telegraphic com'
munication with the S. P. K. R. at
Lordsbnrg, and a special train
there hence, or here thence, could
always be had on a few moments
notice. A line of wire can be
easily and cheaply extended to
any desirable point on Eagle Creek
and if desired could be continued
ti Apache or Thomas. If Clifton
were a military post, the Blue,
Frisco and Eagle could be patroll
ed, the Apaches could be prevented
from rising the trails out from this
side of the reservation, by 6mall
forces properly stationed and
within convenient communication
with the main body, if necessary,
stationed here. As things look
now, there is probability of other
fresh bands lea ing the reservation
and perhaps the best thing which
could happen to .New Mexico and
Arizona would be for the entire
reservation to turn loose, Chiri-
cahnas, White Mountains, Masca
leros and Ex-Scouts. There would
be war at our doors, but the thing
woidd be settled finally and the
reservation become a thing of the

thing in his power to down

The Massachusetts Legislature
still cling to old ideas, and has
refused to remove the disability of
atheists ns witnesses. They insist,
in tho state named, that to be be
lieved the donbter must bo dis
honest enough to say ho believes.
IvEror.Ts continue to roach town
of restlessness on tho part of tho
Apaches nnv on tUo reservation.
Tho scouts are said to be preparing
to break out, and it is thought
that tho White Mountain Apaches
will join them.
Troops at the posts liavo been
ordered to the reservntion to an
ticipate and guard against tie
threatened outbreak, but as long
as the Iudians retain freedom of
movement within their bound, it
is quite an easy matter for them
ti slip by the soldiers, and escape
at convenient points along tho
line.
The necessary authority ought
to be given General Miles to put
the whole reservation nndor arrest
and remove from its bounds such
of the Apaches as he might see fit
Were the Apaches now on the
reservation but removed, it would
render the task of following and
killing or capturing the hostiles
an easier one. uovering sucn a
large extent of territory as it doos,
with the Indians in sympathy
aiding and abetting the Chirica
huas, the reservation offers a con
venient refuge for the followers
of Geronimo.
And when worn out with fatigue,
closely pressed by troops or citi
zens, or in need of ammunition or
supplies, it is made a new base of
operations, from which to sally
forth in some new unexpected
direction, to rob and kilL To the
citizens of New Mexico and Ari
zona it is a vital question, and all
should join in demanding the re
moval of every Apache from either
territory.

Michelena immediately mounted

Tho Indian war has been push-
ed to our very doors. Tho killing
of Frank Thurston, of Pima, on
last Sunday, was a sad affair. He
left a wife and seva, children, all
girls but cue, and be a 6aall boy
tbit will be cf so telp to the fam
ily for c. t-isber of years to come.
Judge Sias who happened to be in
that part of the valley at the time
of the killing set a good example
for others, by donating twenty-five
dollars for tho benefit of tho be
reaved family.
In connection with this vexed
question, iustead of sending a pe
tition to congress to pension an in
dividual widow, as was proposed
by a Tucson paper a short time
ago, I would suggest it bo made
general, except in cases vhe"ro they
are left well provided for. We
have four widows now in this val
ley who shonld bo pensioned, viz:
Mrs. Farron and Mrs. Thurston,
of Pima, and the two Mnsdanies
Wrights, of Layton. I have on
hand some blanks sent from Wash
ington for parties who have sus
tained losses by Indian depreda
lious in the shape of property,
with which to fill ont and make
application to tho department to
have those losses made good.
Why should not a widow estimate
the value of her husband and ask
the government to make good her
loss as far as possible. Hpr hus
band could not bo returned to her
but she might be relieved finan
cially. These are questions that
I think should be agitated.
Local news is scarce. Mr. Ijams
sent ont a small band of cattle,
24 head, to his ranch near Wilcox
a few days ago.
Mr. John Hall ad ay, of Pima, is
importing a fresh supply of farm
machinery, and the several head-
era from Thomas to Solomonville
will be in operation in about ten
days gathering in the golden har
vest. TJxo.
