Dimcnlties On the Disputed tract

Dimculties On the Disputed Tract.
We regret to perceive, from tho follow
ing, that some Of the residents on the tract
in dispute between Missouri and Iowa, are
likely to force things to extremities, in their
attempts to enforce'the Jurisdiction Of the
party in the dispute with which they. res
pectively side. No good can result to
either Iowa or Missouri from collision,
and it is the duty ofthose chargedwith the
execution ofthe laws in both to avoid every
thing leading to such result. The time
is close at hand when Iowa will be able to
submit the question to the arbitration Of the
highest judicial tribunal known to the land,
and no man conversant with the history Of
the dispute can doubt but that the issue
viii be favorable 10 our claim.
MORE BORDER TROUBLES.
We learn from good authority, that one
day this week, the Sheriff Of Schuyler
county NO., by virtue Of writ issued BY
the authority Of Mo-, proceeded TO arrest
the sheriff Of Davis county, I. r. (Mr.
Riggs,) and took him before Justice oil
the Peace in No., to answer a charge 1--WE
suppose made against him for the arrest
&c., Of the sheriff Of Adair Co. Mo-, re-
Gently, and left him in the custody Of the
Justice until the witnesses could be had;
during the absence Of the Mo. sheriff
Mr.. Riggs, the~rrested sheriff, succeeded
in making the Justice believe, that he could
not lawfully detain him over six hours, and
at the expiration Of that time the Justice
released him, and Mr.. Riggs returned tc
Davis Co. I. T., and obtained writ fol
the sheriff Of Schuyler Co. Mo. and pro-
ceeded Immediately to arrest him. What
the result was, we are not informed; we
are apprehensivc that serious difficulties
will yet result from this vexed question Of
boundaries except it is speedily settled

\ New Mexico.

We copy the following from letter
published in the last number of the West
ern (Mo.) Expositor:
.ee Taos, New Mexico,
March 9th, 1916.
To the Editor Of the "Erpositor.
DEAN Sin The glorious spirit of an
nexation is spreading like prairie fire
up the Rio del Norte, and rafting the dry
bones in New Mexico. The news Of
Santa Annals collapse into prison has. just
reached US. Governor Martinez is levy
ing a forced loan Of $ll,O 900 for the sol
diers. The population Of Santa Fe and
all north Of it amounting TO $4,000 re-
fuse to pay. John Scolly, an American
merchant in Santa Fe, assessed at 5000,
has refused to pay, and has been thrust
into prison by Martinez. The Mariana
Charvis, assessed at $1,000, refuses 10
pay until Martinez accounts for $3.50, 900
which he has already sponged from the
people of New Mexico. The Governor
refuses to account, but demands MORE
Two thirds of the people demand annex
alton as the only means to escape from the
avarice and tyranny Of such government.
Both Americans and Mexicans are maxi
ing large purchases Of land upon the
streams running into the Rio del Norte
and Arkansas, anticipating annexation.-
Ex-Governor ArmIo is stirring up and
concentrating around HIM the means Of
ejecting Mexican domination, and will
shortly succeed in SO doing. He rises in
popular esteem, and his influence increas-
es, as Martinez becomes odious and ha-
ted.- Government, here, accomplishes
nothing but the destruction Of domestic
tranquility and indiscriminate misery,
wherever its force is felt. The Yuta In
dams recently made an irruption into the
neighboring settlements Of Abiiuia--killed
four and wounded seven Mexicans. The
governor and his fat soldiers, for whom
we are taxed, never stirred from their
barracks in the City. The Apaches some
time before, robbed Messrs. Speyers Of
l6O mules on the lower Del Norte. The
Governor smokes and sleeps while the
savages devastate the country.
The Gold Mountain has been more ex-
tenSlV6ly WORKED tllS season IMAM neIetO-
fore. The search for gold has been ex-
tended to the south side Of the mountain
with great success. The gentlemen byt
whom send this, take $l3, 900 in gold
dust, some Jumps valued at 1910, found
within 80 miles Of Santa Fe. The gold
region lies entirely on the Eastern side of
the Rio del Norte, and If worked with
any energy, would yield millions annual
". This country is capable Of being one
Of the most prosperous on the continent,
but is every year sinking under the ra-
pacity Of its feeble tyrants. TO implore
the charity Of the Americans and seek to
occupy corner Of the Union, Is the only.
remedy for the unhappy. people Of New
Mexico, and to this contamination all
their hopes and wishes are directed.
