The KoUfe1 cnse.

James Cassidy, Frank Stillwell
 Ames, alias "The Tinker" and his two partners and Peter Spence are
 known to have been at the Evening Star mine on the night of the murder of J. W. Houten, but the Coroner's jury could not find any one upon
 whom it could fix the crime. The Nugget probably reflects the feelings of the Tombstone people and of many others in the county when it says;
 Can it be possible that now the six teenth person killed upon the Bron- kow mine must die without single murderer being brought to justice? Is Justice so tied in Arizona that not a single official will lit his hand to fer ret out the case? Is there not sufficient interest taken in murder cases that the most liberal reward will now be offered for the assassin who murdered an aged man for spite alone, that those who do know may be tempted to reveal? Such brutal, inhuman conduct should not go unpunished, and the citizens of Charleston will give thelr time and their money to ferret il out, but they need the aid and encouragement of the county generally. Let our officials act, and the people are with them. If such things can go unpunished in Pima County, who is safe in perform ing a legitimate act, such as Houten was doingg Does he deserve death who shall see tit with many others 10 relocate mine? Every man in the Territory had right 10 relocate that mine, or at least try ii, and if a brutal death is the penalty, what use are our laws? Win our county officials take the matter in hand? Let the jury be recalled and the prosecuting attorney of the county be present to eXamine the witnesses. Will the Board of Su- pervisors offer a reward? Will any thing be done?
