VENTED.

cpal purposes The bill also throws open to homestead
and presumption settlement all lands heretofore entered

above provisions regarding entries in excess OF 1880

appears from the statement presented by Represen
tative Crounse OF Nebraska who reported the bill from
the Committee that the existing law has been greatly
abused In the Territory OF Utah. where number OF in
significant places have been incorporated cities"
and obtained title tracts OF Government land,
prisng from TO 40 square miles each for town stes
Twelve OF these villages have entered town sites of 10
Is square miles EACH and Of them have thus
qured title toract Of SO 40 square miles each From
this statement Mr. Crounse made IL evident that ega
ton Is needed to cut down the needessy and mschiey
ousy large city limits TO restrict those which may be
created hereafter and to conform the titles 10 those lands
which may have been settled upon under the Presumption

THE KILBOURN CASE.


HIS BODY NOT TO BE SURRENDERED TO THE LOCAL
CoURT-oPISIoN THAT THE CONSTITUTION HAS
BEEN INVADED.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE Judiciary Committee
to-day decided not to surrender the body of Haett
Kilboun to the local court authorities under the
writ of habeas corpus, and will so report to the
House. Ii is known that several members of the
Committee have expressed regrets that Kilbourn
was imprisoned and believe that the Constitution
has been invaded by the act yet they are now dis
posed to maintain the power of Congress as against
the courts Much interest is felt to know the result
of this conflict of jurisdiction. Judge Cartier before
whom the hearing is to be had, is an able Judge,
and fearless and resolute man, and would not
shrink from his duty, whatever the consequence.
The of r. b. Irwin, in the last Congress, which
is cited parallel is quite different. Irwin was
not under Indictment when in contempt OF tho
House, but Kilboum is under indictment, having
been found so by reason of his contempt of the
House az certified to the Grand Jury by the Speaker
of the House. Eminent lawyers claim that this must
give the court jurisdiction of the person indicted or
else the law is meaningless. .

ing politicians Of that State now on the way
here, in answer to subpenas AS the Republican
Convention in that State meets about this time, the
enforced absence of these gentlemen may have been
secured for purpose. Mr.. Caulfeld expects also
for what reason is not known-to rake over all the
accounts in the United States Marshals office at
Chicago, going as far back doubtless as the limits
Of the session will allow. For that purpose, wit
nesses have already been summoned and more are
expected TO follow 1t is especially given out in
confidential circles that the old accounts Of j. Rus
sell Jones and of Benjamin Campbell are to be in
yesisated. Marshal CampbelPs office Will thus be
brought before two committees.

T. ?. kELsoS, Of Davis & Nelson. left here yesterday for the states and thence to Europe We greatly regret to say that Mir. Nelson leaves this time not for days or months or years but forever. Hrumor be true he goes to ind welded bliss in the g0odly land orthe divine Andersen. We believe his ultimate purpose Is to return 10 this country and settle in Chicago. With his departure MT. Davis loses a good partner and the community loses a man whom 1t would be hard to replace. NIT.

Jail Delivery.

On Tuesday evening last, shortly after
 the setting Of the sun, in the son twilight,
 between night and day, four prisoners
 tiring Of enforced restraint sn our county jail, broke loose and fled out into a cold and pitiless world. Their names were Jesus Oros, Jesus Campas. Jesus Grjadalba and Jesus Navarro. Just think of it, four Jesuses, ,-enough to get up a young mems Christian association all by them selves. They had all been confined by heathen Justices Of the Peace for six months under the base subterfuge of their having committed petty larceny and none of them had served one-thIrd Of the sentence. MT. b. S. O'BEien the jailor states that he was sitting in his of flee, on the stated evening, when he was called by the prisoners (all in one ceIl) to give them their slop bucket. They should have taken this in with them when lock- ed up for the night. The jallor didn't like to refuse the request. He let one out to get the bucket, and while standing at the door the other prisoners made a break and although MT. O'Brien made strenuous exertions 10 prevent their escape, fighting them through the front office and out on the street, they all got away. The jailor received some severe contusions in the
 melee and evidently did all he could, af ter the first fatal mistake Of opening the cell. He called repeatedly for help, which finally came too late. Upon exam ination, the interior Of the cell showed preparations on the part Of the prisoners, looking toward escape. In the name Of decency and law and order, let the proper authorities do their utmost to stop this periodical escape Of prisoners from Jail. It is simply a miserable shame and disgrace and 1t is utterly without ex- cuge.

L o CAL MA TIERS.

SEVERAL of our best known and promi- nent citizens have been quite i'll for some weeks past. Judge John Titus has had a severe attack Of typhoid fever and at one time his life was despaired Of, but the la lest reports put him on the upgrade again and his friends hope for his speedy recov- cry. Hugh Farley has been i'll for masnv weeks with the typhoid fever, and has had several close calls but Is now believed to be out Of the region and shadow of death. Until hls very serious sickness there weren't many Of us who realized what a high place and strong hold in our estina- ton and affection Hugh Farley had attain ed. When there was danger Of his dying We suddenly found out that we had un- consciously come to have the utmost re- Hance upon his professional ability and character and an abiding faith in himself as true man. MT. Thomas DriscoI. of the old and well known firm Of Siaish S Driscol, has also, we very much regret 10 learn, been quite seriously sick ofIate. MT. Driscoll is highly thought Of in this com munity and we hope to soon see him in his accustomed health and walks.

\ LETTER from Phenix, speaking of Joseph Phys late marriage, says:-You Tucson people ought to know the bride groom as he comes from your town, and as to the bride, Phy has got the prettiest, most modest, gentlest and most worthy little woman in all Arizona for a wife. There were some l5O Of the good people Of salt River valley in attendance, and after the ceremony and supper were over, all hands adjourned to the schOol-house and danced until two o'clock in the morning. Every one was jolly, there was no restraint and pleasant. enjoyable party was the result.

JOSEPH NEUGAss, clerk of the district
 court. left here the first ot the week for
 Guaymas. Mir. Neugass has been in poor
 health for some time and goes to Quay
 mas with the hope Of recuperating, in
 which hope he is joined by many strong
 friends. Joseph has always been one Of our best and most industrious citizens and we would all like to see him look
 ing like himself again. There was never
 but one thing about MT. NeUgass in which our faith couldn't even rise to the mus tard seed proportions. When he used to keep a restaurant here he used to make mince pies. We never touched one of those pies. Other people used to eat and relish them and wonder at our ab- stinence. But "Joe never wondered at it. He knew that we had Probed the most terrible secret of his restaurant life. He never touched the miuce pies, either, and our mutual knowledge and abstention from that kind of pie was a common ground of sympathy and sad ness. Often and often when mince pie has been gaily circulating around every other table in his restaurant has MT. Neu- gass come to our table and taken Us by the hand; and while Io words were spok- en we understood each other and our mutual eyes looked the unulterable hor- TOT which was based upon our knowledge of the interior secret of those pies. Wel have never betrayed Mir. Neugass in this matter, and he may rest assured that We never shall.

THE weather Is most decidedly moder- ating. The nights are now cold enough to enable one to appreciate a thin blanket and the midday is becoming quite cool end comfortable. Insomuch that on one day this week, the thermometer at noon only registered 100 degrees in the shade. This Is truly indicative of the near approach of winter. If other sign were needed we might say that several dry goods clerks have been seen on the street lately with coat andlpsper color on, and the light Of returning hope in their eyeballs. And SO the seasons change. And the leaves shall soon wither and fall. And there shall come to Tucson a season in which all may say, now is the winter of our great content" for of all the sea sons of all the most favored cIimes on earth, none surpass in desirabIeness the. average winter Of Tucson.
