How M. Ilrown Collected Rome Sloncy From .1. W. Lambert, With the Aid of A Gun. M. "Brown was arrested last night on a charge of compelling J. AY. Lambort with a gun persuation to par over to him tho sum of 14. Tho story of tho case is interesting and is as follows: J. "W. Lambert and his hay-bailing crow were at work on tho Kennedy ranch, fivo miles east of tho cit', on tho Isaacs road. Brown was one of tho crow, but took a notion in his head to quit work. Ho demanded the paj' for his work from Lambert, but tho latter had not completed his contract on tho ranch and told Brown that ho could not pay him just then, as ho had no money. Brown raved around for a while, then went off. He returned, however, accompanied by a "Winchester rifle. Ho leveled tho weapon at Lambert and said: "Now, by God, I'm after tho money or I will kill you." Lambert expostulated with him and told him ho was foolish to act in that manner, and as soon as he was through with his contract ho would pay the amount. Brown was determined and swore that ho would havo tho money then and thcro or ho would kill him. Lambert tearing that Brown would put his threat into execution finally made tho proposition that they go.to Kennedy's houso and see if ho had the money. Brown agreed -and they both started towards tho houso Brown still keeping hio gun leveled at Lambert. When thoy reached tho houso Kennedy was called and in coming to tho door saw tho condition of affairs and demanded to know what was tho trouble. Lambert asked him if ho had any money; that ho wanted to pay Brown. Kennedy replied that he had no money in the house. Brown overheard tho conversation andsaid to Lambert "Well, are you going to get that monoyr" Kennedy said: "There is no money in the housa and how can wo pay your' "Then by God, Lambort, I will have to kill you," and Brown raised his gun and pointed it directly at Lambert. Kennedy called to him to hold up, saying that ho would seo if they could get any money from a neighbor. . One of Lambert's men was told to jump on a horse and go to a neighbor to borrow tho monoy. Tho neighbor roturned with the man; between him and Kennedj' thoy raised 14 for Brown who as soon as ho secured tho money left tho place. Lambert did not immediately have him arrested but waited until he was through with his contract then had a warrant swore out for him. Plteni.v Jlepullican. A Bride's llcquest. A quiot wedding occurcd at 42G7 Ellis Bark Chicago Sept. 14th. Tho principals woro "William Allen Hart of Tucson, Arizona, and Mrs. Blancho Smith of Chicago. At the wedding tho brido startled thoso present by insisting that tho word "oboy" bo stricken from tho ceremony. Sho explained her strange request as follows: "I am not a 'now woman' but I do not think that any woman will oboy, so I prefer that tho word bo stricken from the ceremony.'" The brido's strange request was granted and tho couple wedded. The brido and groom left to-day for Tucson. HI Tho Masquerade Hall. Noxt Friday night is the time set for the masquerade ball and the committee of arrangements aro actively engaged in making preparations for a grand affair.

An exchange says: "Tho rail roads will carry a man from Xcw York to San Francisco for 80. Thoy will cany a hog weighing tho samo as a man for u. Congressmen free. Tho advantage of being a hog is 74, tho advantage of boing a congressman is 8U. Tho people are not in it when it comes to a show-down with tho hogs. Tho free-pass congressman is G bettor than a hog.

Ijams for a drug store, and the Saftord Drug company havo already moved in their stock of goods. The building is 22x4G feet, two stories high, and built of brick. It is one of the finest buildings in Graham county, and is a monument to the enterprise of Mr. Ijams. Tho store room is 22x32 feet and is nicely furnished, and is very attractive, and tho Drug company have a full stock of goods on hand. Back of the store room arc two smaller rooms, ono is used as -a laboratory and the other is Dr. Porter's oflice. The doctor will, havo charge of tho laborator' and that fact alone is sufficient to warrant that all work which leaves tho laboratory will be perfectly reliable. The upper room of the building will bo used by secret societies; tho Good Templars, which is already in working order, tho Masons and Workmen, each of which .orders expect to organize a lodge the coming winter. The Safford Drug company have now ono of tho best equipped store rooms in tho Territory and carry a largo stock of first class drugs, and invito their friends to call and seo for themselves.

There are eight men now employed by tho Graham County Mining and Smelting company, in tho Lono Star district, all doing development work.

A "Washington special dated Sept. 13 says President Clove-land is meditating seriously the possibility of hostility between Spain and tho United States. Under orders from Secretary Herbert tho navy department has prepared exhaustive reports on tho naval conditions for a descent on Cuba. Tho question of transportation and facilities for landing toops on tho island havo been looked into thoroughly. In 1878 John G. Carlislo said: "The movement to totally demonetize silver is a stupendous conspir acy conceived by tho monoj'cd in terests ot all countries to increaso tho value Of of tho world's motallio money by destroying tho other half. Tho successful of that conspiracy would bo more disastrous to tho peoplo of this world than war, pestilence and famine" A cabinot oflico has silenced an eloquent tongue in the cause of humanity. Jix: Unless tlioro should bo another scare in regard to tho gold reserve, such as wo had before, or a financial panic, neither of which things, in my judgment, is likely to occur, tlioro will bo no necessity for another bond issue in October to pro-servo the reserve "Tho present removal of gold from this country is not duo to any lack of confidence in our national finances. It is simply tho result of trado conditions. Our merchants aro im porting an immense amount of goods from huropo, which indicate that thoj' oxpect a big business fall and winter, and our gold goes abroad to pay for theso importations. By October 1st our cotton and wheat crops will como to tho markot, and tho gold rcsorvo in our treasury will go up. There is, in my judgment, no cause for alarm in tho present shortage." Said Secretary Carlislo.

They Succeed In Defeating lllsbec and Tucson two Straights Kncli, nnd are now the Champions of Arizona. The Fort Thomas cyclone, as the Bisboe ball tossers call 'em, has weathered its main-brace and sailed for Tucson. They told us not to bet on their first gamo with the Tucson nine. That explains how they mako their traveling expenses. Wo know but little of base ball, hut we know enough of tho game to predict the speedy annihilation of tho ancient city's athletics. Our best hatters were powerless when the tricky Thomas pitcher wound his curves about their necks. However, if he is obliged to play baso ball, viz., face the hatter when delivering, ho will bo an easy target for any ono. Our boys made him play ball lor one inning, and as a result shut the Athletics out completely in tho first. But, tak ing it all in all, tho Fort Tommy's play so systematically and aro such excellent batters that they will tako home a string of victories as long as a hoe handle. The ftregoing is from Bisbcc to tho Tombstono Epitaph, and shows how tho Athletics played ball with tho Bisbco team. Tho score: Athletics 0 4 3 5 3 5 2 123 Bisbee 2 0 0 0 0 1 0 03 ATHLETICS VS TUCSON. Tho Citizen laments the loss of tho championship in tho following way: "The match gamo between Tuc son and Fort Thomas nines has resulted somewhat disastrously to the homo team: Thoy played well but not well enough and tho wage of war went against them. Saturday's gamo tho score stood 18 to 9 in favor of tho Thomas nine and yesterday tho game stood 10 to G in favor of tho Thomas team. Yes terday tho Tucson boys played with their accustomed skill and tho game stood G to 6. Unfortunately tho Tucson team at this juncture "went to pieces" and Thomas made four straight luns and captured tho game. Tho following is tho score card for Saturday: Athletics 2 2 3 13 5 0 0 218 Tucson 10231010 SECOND GAME. Although m this gamo Tucson played fair ball tho aggregation from Graham count3' "gingered up" accordingly and defeated them by tho following score. Athlotics 1 0 3 0 2 0 0 0 410 Tucson 0 12100110 G The Bulletin acknowledges that it is in tho guerrilla business, and then snarls and shows its little fangs because it has been caught at it, and accuses tho Guardian of inaugurating "cut throat prices." Tho Guardian never did anything of tho kind. Wo simply established prices which compelled the Bulletin to cease fleecing tho people, prices wo expect to maintain. The Bulletin also says it does cheap work. Wo admit that. Wo don't. We do good work in the latest approved styles at reasonable prices, the quality of which brings us all tho work wo can do. The Tucson Star is offits "bike" when it says tho baso ball championship still remains in Tucson. The Graham county Athletics aro the champions, they won it, and they won it fairly and honestly, and "to tho victor belongs the spoils." None of tho Athletics who took part in tho games live out of Arizona, and only one out of Graham county. They have alll been residents of Arizona for 6 months. The bare fact that plans and speci fications, including a few estimates were not drawn up, and other nonsensical technicalities adhered to, does not keep tho honors in Tucson. Como Tucson, bo honest, and surrender what you have lost. This is tho way a country editor sizes up a kicker and offers odds on his probable relation to the paper: "Whenever you find a man finding fault with tho local paper, open it up, and ten to one he hasn't an advertisement in it; fivo to one he never gavo it a job of work; three to one ho docs not tako tho paper; two to one that if he is a subscriber ho is delinquent; even odds ho never does anything that will assist the publisher to run a good paper, and forty to one that if the paper is a good ono and full of life, ho is tho most cagor to see the paper when it comes out. This will also apply to all local enter prises.1
