thoriles. A jury was impanneed before Justice
George b. Hunt and an investigation held and o
verdict rendered. From the testimony given 1t
seems that Van Allen went to see Mrs. F0rr on the
day mentioned, and the husband, returning earlier
than vas expected, found Van Allen under the
bed. A sculle ensued, gun and axe we're used
freely and yet little damage was done, when Van
Allen finished the business by stabbing Farr with

found in the possession OF Van Allen, written by
Mrs. Farr, Ii appears that there was cause for
jealousy. In Que sue speaks OF giving him dose,

THAT Ephralm Farr came TO mis- death By an In

The Prescott (Arizona) Miner publishes letter
from o correspondent at Cerbat, VINO has been
visiting the Colorado reservation, and makes some
damaging revelations Of its management. False
musters are charged upon Agent Tonner, who, it
Is alleged, induced a large body OF Mojaves who
for ten years have been supporting themselves, to
visit his reserve, where they counted with the
other Indians so to swell the aggregate present
dead failure not one drop OF water can reach 1t
nom the Colorado. and the head gate has never
been opened Nearly 100000 has already been used
IN digging II. aud $40, 600 more has been asked
for. Agent Tonner's statement that the ditch Is
now almost ready Tor use Is denounced as false :
hood. sch0olmaster, mead farmer and other
employees have been on the roll and paid Tor doing
nothing. No school exists and the farm, so Called
consists OF an alfalfa grass plot fityeet square, in
front OF the agents residence, which is watered
daily by the Indian children. under the direction
or the schoolmaster. Tonner ID also charged with
owning ranch near the reserve, to which the
dnest cattle belonging to the Indians are sent and
marked with his brand All the best farming I'M
pements likewise ind their way there. The In
dians nre not hall led, and feeble old squaws are
hay, oltentimes weighing one hundred pounds,
many miles to the reserve, where Tonner pays
them, nomtnally fifty cents per diem. In two cups

ment as having cost SEQ, gold, q ton. The commu-
nication gives q graphic description OF the way
