EDITOR HERALD: Considering the
railroad development and the contests
that naturally will arise between
ranch-owners, settlers and the railroad
claiming an even section, in this
county during the next two years, as
we'll as a question of vital Importance,
the water supply, it becomes the dele
gates to the Democratic Convention to
nominate man of capacity, integrity
and professional skill for the place OF
Surveyor of the county-one who by
experience and education may suggest
himself to the support at the ballot of
the county as the best man for the
place. No Office will be of more i'm
portance to each individual land
owner than this, and none more con-
ducive, if properly filed, to the devel-

what the Indians say.

BEAVER, Ang. 3d.-So much has
been said about the Indians at the
massacre that your reporter for sew
eral days has been i'm search of the
Chief of the Beavers. He to-day
found him and held an interview with
him by aid of an Interpreter. This
Chief is named Beaver. He became
Chief by recommendation oi the Nor
mons and its ratification by the m
dian agent on account of his good
character. He is aged about 46 and is
afflicted with partial blindness. He
said: Il was not at Corn Creek, but
am brother to the mother of Kenosh,
the Chief of the Corn Creek Indians
and aWarm friend with the Palioants.
l often talked the matter over with
them. The story of the poisoned OK
is not true, nor of the poisoned spring.
The water talked of is not a spring.
1t is running water. NoIndans were
ever poisoned as the Mormons say
The Indians never told me of it, and
l was with them often and must have
heard of it. No Corn Creek, Pahoant
or Beavers were at Mountain Mead
ows. 1t is all one lie and he lies who

his Cold Creek Indians. He was my
friend; so were all the Indians. / of
ten talked with them during the last
seventeen years. Moquepus and his
warriors always said that they were
making a living by hunting around
Cedar. When John ID. Lee came and
asked them to help kill the emigrants
Morquepus said, IT have not guns nor
powder enough.n Lee said that the
Mormonss would furnish guns and
powder. Moquepus asked what the
Indians would get. Lee said clothing,
all the guns and horses, and some Of
the cattle to eat. So they went. Mo-
quepus was wounded, and died year
after from his wounds. All the In
dians tell the same story. No Indians
In Utah had any animosity against
the whites. Then all was at peace
with the Indians. One Indian tried

guard shot him, and for day or two
there was trouble and some shooting.

No Defense.

The theory of the defense in the
trial of the Mountain Meadow assas-
sin, is that, in the murder of one hun
dred defenceless women and Children,
he obeyed the command of higher
power-a power which he asserts,
greater than he, dared not disobey.
LEES Council sought, first by insin-
uation and afterward by direct charge
that BRIGHAM YOUNG was this pow
er. 1t was a cowardly excuse and
one that could not be tortured Into
the semblance of justification. even
had it been true, but it now appears
from the affidavit of YOUNG himself
that no such instructions nor anything
that could be so understood, were ever
issued by him. He asserts that he did
not know the emigrants had been
massacred until some months after the
consuinmation of the bloody deed.
Thus the defense of LEE, flimsy as 1t
is, falls to the ground. The real Sc
cret of the unparalleled massacre is
probably found in the account given
by Mrs. STENHoUsE in her recently
published book "Tell 1t Alln and is
substantially as follows: The Noun
tain Meadow victims were chiefly
from Arkansas and some years pre-
vious Mormon Prophet, PRATT, we
think, attempted to run away with
a mans wife in that State and was
shot by her husband. This was grounds
for Mormon hatred of all people from
Arkansas and it was upon this preju-
dice that few malignant rascals, of
whom LEE was the leader worked
until they found sufficient number
of Mormons who, aided by the Indi-
ans accomplished the damning deed.
With some of the murderers, plunder
may have been the primary object.
But hatred and revenge was the
prompting motive Of the leaders and
they should be hung as fast as found
and convicted.

Select Good Men.

The Democratic County Convention
meets to-day. The county will be
we'll represented, and we trust a first
class ticket will be presented. The
duty of the Convention is so plain
that no delegate can fail to understand
what is expected of him. The candi-
dates thus far placed before the people
are not as whole satisfactory. They
are not sailing under true colors; they
are Republicans in the garb of indie.
pendents; they are the members of
one party endeavoring to secure the
votes of another. The people have no
confidence in an Independent ticket
made of Republicans, and they look
to the Democratic Convention of to-
day to give them candidates whose
politics are what they profess and vino
are trustworthy and capable. If it
meets the expectation, its candidates
will be triumphantly elected.

FROM the Press 3lst inst.
Last evening the firm of Smith &
Co. received letter from julius Erfurt,
who was the book-keeper of the firm,
that he was about to commit suicide,
and that his body could be found in
Montecito. The letter no doubt was
written under diseased mind, as Mr..
Erfurt has not seemed quite right late
ly. He left his home yesterday stat
ing that he was going out in the cOun-
try, thus exciting little suspicion. Mr..
Beseke and DR.. Hill made search for
him last evening, but failed. This
morning party of gentlemen started
cut, and after much search found him
under q tree dead. He had not been
dead long, as his body was warm. He
was seen this morning at half past five
wandering through the woods, thus he
must have killed himself some time
this morning. Our reporter visited
the scene and found the man lying on
his side with bullet hole in his head.
He had the pistol in his hand and an
empty flask by his side. The report
that he is dpfaulter is denied by the
firm. Mr.. Erfurt stood high among
his friends and those who knew him.
He leaves widow and little child to
mourn over his death. No doubt he
committed the deed while laboring un-
der tit of momentary insanity.
LATER.-It has been ascertained by
member of the firm that his books
are all right with the exception of
about S25 in footing up the daily sales
in small amounts, during the last three
weeks.
On Wednesday evening last Mr.. NJ
Norris, who is in charge of the Calls
ranch, about three miles east of Rincon
and son of Mr.. Norton of Carpinteria,
had very narrow escape of being pois-
oned. Soon after breakfast Mr.. Nor
ris had left his house for the purpose of
turning the water in the corral, when
he felt severe pain in his stomach, and
feeling dizzy he stopped to put some
water upon his head. He was then
seized with cramp in his leg and lost
co nsciousness. When he returned to
himself he was several yards away
from where he swooned, and one of his
dogs was licking his face. On his way
to his house he received two or three
more attacks. He at one knew that
this attack was the effect of strych-
nine, but how the poison could have
been administered is unknown, though
1t is supposed to have got into some
flour. He swallowed q pint of lard
which counteracted the effects of the
strychnine.

IF the managers of the Los Angeles
and Independence Railroad intend to
do a freight competing business with
the Southern Pacific Railroad they
are making serious mistake in lo-
eating their depot so far from the
business center of the city. We make
this statement at the request of a
number of leading citizens who in
form us that the company have ex-
pressed desire not to depart from the
line specified in their communication
to the Council. To adhere to this pro-
position is to place the depot so far
from the center of the city that the
drayage on freight will almost if not
quite equal the railroad charges from
the water to the depot. These are
facts apparent to all and they should
be carefully considered by the COM
pany before taking decided action in
the premises.
