THE WEST. A Tombstone (Arizona) special says: “The number of persons murdered by Apaches within gunshot of Nogales, Arizona, during the last four weeks now foots up forty-two. The size of raiding bands and their boldness leave no doubt that they have bean recruited from the discharged scouts.” A MILWAUKEE dispatch states that “the local authorities have arrested Anton Palms, President of the Carpenters' Union, as one of the anarchists who incited the recent riots. The floor of Palms’ kitchen was torn up, and beneath it was found a large quantity of ammunition, rifles, and otherjurms.

The testimony of Capt. Schaack, of the Chicago police force, before the Cook County Grand Jury, was of a startling nature. He said he had witnesses by whom he could prove that “there was a well-laid plan to sack and burn certain districts in Chicago May 4. It would have been carried out but that the anarchists lacked nerve and were unprepared for the vigorous action of the police. Men were told off to set fire to certain houses in the northwestern portion of the city, and others were told, off to throw bombs into the police stations, while others were to use bombs at the meeting if the police a tempted to disperse it. The houses to be burned in the northwest section of the city were to be selected indiscriminately. The purpose of the burning was to attract the attention of the police to that section, and to draw them away from the main points of attack, the haymarket square and the police stations. The early dispersal of the crowd in the square, the premature throwing of the bomb, for it was premature, and the determined resistance of the police frightened the would-be incendiaries and those who were to attack the police barracks in detail.”... .More dynamite bombs have been captured in Chicago. While some boys were playing ball in the northwestern section of the city, their ball rolled under a sidewalk, and, going after it, they discovered a bundle, the covering of which was an oilcloth table-spread. Opening the bundle they found something which appeared like giant fire-crack-ers. Police officers were summoned, who secured the bundle and took it to the station. Its contents were thirty dynamite • bombs, one empty shell, two boxes of triple-force fulminating caps, and four one-hundred-feet coils of fuse. The bombs were of the blasting-cartridge pattern, and were very well made. The shell was one-and-a-half-inch gas-pipe, eight inches in length. A thread was cut into the interior surface of each end and a plug of hard wood screwed into one end. The shell was then filled with dynamite, and the fuse attached. Heavy felt gun-wadding was then packed in, and the bomb was complete.... Several anarchists are under arrest in St. Louis on a chargeof having introduced at an unlaw - ful meeting and urged the adoption of rerolutions indorsing the murderous doings of the Chicago nihilists.
