The Lawrence county treasurer.
Geo. E. Brigham, having failed to fur
nish the necessary bonds, the Board of
County Commissioners to-day declared
the Office of treasurer vacant, but Brig
hrm refused to surrender possession of
the office and books, or to divulge the
combination of the money safe. Sheriff
Manning was ordered to take forcible
possession if necessary. Proceeding to
the Office he demanded admission but
was refused, %whereupon he broke the
door in, gained entrance, and is o in
joint possession with Brigham, who re-
fuses to leave his position behind the
treasurer's desk.
LATER.
At eleven O'Clock tonight ex-County
Treasurer Brigham, taking advantage
of the momentary absence of Sheriff
Manning, opened the heavy office safe
and attempted the removal of the books,
but before his object was attained, the
Sheriff. taking the situation in at a
glance rushed forward and thrust his
knee into the interior of the safe. Brig
ham slammed the heavy door to on the
Sheriff's leg, and at the same time
struck him in the face. Manning drew
a revolver and placed it within a foot
OF Brigham's head, pulled the trigger,
the cap snapped but the load failed to
explode. The deputy sheriffs interfered,
arrested and Jailed Brigham. The Sher-
if is now in possession of the open safe
and all the books.
Frank Grouard, Gen. Crooks chief
scout and guide, with a detail of eleven
men from the Fifth cavalry, arrived
here yesterday. They came out from
Fort Mckinney in quest of a gang of
horse thieves, whom they tracked to
within forty miles of this place, where
the trail was lost.
Grouard states that the information
gained from struggling bands of friend
ly Indians, is to the effect that a Vol
tion of Sitting Bulls band had crossed
over the line into the United States,
and thought very likely that the Indi-
ans would be very troublesome during
the coming summer in the vicinity of
the Upper Missouri river.
The Father DeSmet mine cleared up
nearly fifty thousand dollars to-day

The news from Canon Citv vestx,

Inc news from Canon City yesterday
was somewhat alarming. Several dis
patches were received during the day
saying that there were prospects of a
first-class disturbance. Since the Dis
trict, Court of Fremont county granted
an injunction restraining the Denver
and Rio Grande people from operating
along the surveyed line of the Canon
City and San Juan company, the sheriff
has kept a force of men in the cafon
for the purpose of keeping order and
enforcing the requirement of the court.
On Monday the Denver and Rio Grande
men to the number of about one hun
dred, armed and equipped, marched
through the canon and drove the sher-
IFS posse out. They are also said to
have destroyed considerable property,
and to have created general disorder in
the canon. The sheriff fearing that he
will not be abe to keep order, the Gov
ernor has been called upon to order out
the militia, but has not yet signiied his
intention in the premises. 1t is claimed
by the Denver and Rio Grande people,
that the present disturbance has grown
out of an assault upon one of the Den
yer and Rio Grande men named Clarke
by Deputy Sheriff Caldwell, which &C.
CURED last Saturday night. The sher-
if and his men were passing through
the canon at that time when Clarke
made some objection. Without stand
ing upon any particular ceremony the
sheriff took an AK handle and knocked
him down, hurting him quite seriously.

The National tribune., 1878-03-01
The Commissioners Letter to the Committee on
Pensions.

It is very cer,ain that there is nothing that so
grows upon man as the magnitude and impor-
tance OF the office he himself happens to hold.
The dignity of his Office the control of his ad.
mlnlstratlon, the importance Of his views and
the utter folly OF any one who differs from him,
are things which become dogmas of faith to the
tenant OF an Office. 1t seems to be mental
disease lnseparable from holding official posi-,
tion' and generally it grows by long tenure
1t Is, however, exceedingly natural and is
generally proof that the man afflicted with il
is devoted to his duty as he understands it. II
The National tribune., 1878-03-01

vi Che bureau dOeS not consclentlOusly believe
that the Government turns on him as it's con
trolling axle, and that his disappearance from life,
natural or official, would unhinge the whole
fabric OF the nation, and let anarchy run riot.
50 we read all official communications with
this toreknowledge, that they must by necessity
be dogmatic and imperious, and undertake their
criticism expecting that, in the eyes of the Off
cial, criticism is impiety and dissent is heresy
In the light of these frank avowals, of these
declarations of ours, let us deal gently, but
firmly, with the extraordinary letter of Com
missioner Bentley
Passing for the present the pages of statistics
and general remarks which succeed only in
showing that the Pension Office in years past
allowed very much larger number of claims,
with very much smaller force than they have
done IN late years-let us come to the real
trouble and grievance which is the burden of
his soul
lie says "The duties pertaining to the set
tlement of claims partake largely of judicial
nature"
This, however, is no novelty. 1t has been so
from the beginning. Every claim rests upon
evidence, and he who has to pass upon evidence
does necessarily perform an act of a judicial ma
ture 1t is not more judicial now that it was
IN 1S62-precisely the same class of evidence
required then, or produced then is required and
produced now and, In so far as the cases are of
the same nature, there is not one whit more
of difficulty in deciding than there always has
been.
The judicial nature of the duty is the same
1t is true-and that, we suppose, the Commits
missioner meant to say-that the cases now pre-
sented are not so simple as the mass of those of
years back. The gunshot wounds, the direct
and immediate injuries received in war, are very
largely disposed of, though many of these are
coming forward every day
But the larger number now presented are for
disease or disability consequent upon injuries
and exposures, and which have grown into ag-
gravated form in the lapse of years.
Yet these, like the Others. are to be proved
and proved by evidence under and within the
law.
Now, the Commissioner and his Bureau are
constituted by the law to hear and determine
these cases upon such evidence as the laws de-
clare to be sufficient And if a case is proven
up by testimony in the form and to the extent
provided by law, the Commissioners duty is
clear to decide in favor of the claim.
But listen to his notions upon this question:
The officer who is charged with the duty of
admitting or rejecting the claims must be co,,-
Waced by this proof either that the claim is lust
or that it is without merit; and the difficulty
now experienced by the persons. charged with
the settlement of the claims which have accu.
mulated and those which are now being filed is
that hey canaot bring Themselves 10 beljeue the testi
moay 'ohich is ofer5d.
This is the most novel example on record of
'"dlc'al discretion. A Judge is ordered by law
to hear case on certain prescribed testimony.
The testimony prescribed by the law is intro
iuced, is complete in itself, is connected and CO. }
