evidence o. probability that these alleged trsns.
fsrs we're honest sales Of the mortgages. And
IL the mortgages themselves were genuine and
honest securities, there Was no good reason
why the mortgage should not have retained
them.
There is no evidence which, IN our opinion,
indicates any conduct on the part OF Morris
showing q knowledge or acquiescence in the
mortgages. There is positive proof that he
was MOTIF Cd about the first of August 1878, OF
the record OF the mortgages, and that he at
once took energetic measures to assail them
and that this was met by claim OF q previous
assignment to q nonresident brother of the
mortgage, under instruments not recorded.
II this was course OF actual dealings, Milo
d. Mstteson knew all about IT, He knew
whether he lent money to Morris or not, and
precisely what passed between them. He
knew every circumstance which would deter
mine the genuineness or falsity Of the papers,
and the consideration, if there was one. He
knew whether Morris -igocd tues, papers, and
whether he did 30 Understanding what they
were or supposing them to be different He
knew also, and complainant also knew, why
and how the assignment originated. Morris
had been sworn to an answer, and positively
denied the genuineness OF the documents, as
we'll as their consideration. The notanes knew
nothing of either, except as they claimed to
have got their knowledge after the papers were
signed. A failure to testify under all these
circumstances cannot be accounted for en- any
honest hypothesis. 1t confirms all the testi-
mony opposed to the genuine character Of the
transactions set up.
In the only document in which Milo d.
Matteson attempts to explain the transaction,
which ia his unsworn answer to the bill fled by
Morris, he does not pretend to aver any loan
on the largest OF the three mortgages, nor
more than about fourteen per cent on the two
others, and gives no explanation as to the
origin OF the remainder. Such showing is
with any honest transaction and
is not reasonably credible with the genuineness
Of theee papers, or that there we're some secret
dealings between the parties which Morris was
in concealing. There is no proof Of
his, and no reason why Matteson should sail
10 explain them.
Under these circumstances We do not think
t necessary to enter upon any explanation
Is to the manner in which these papers we're
made to appear genuine-whether the sigma
lures are actually fictitious, or real signatures
by some peculiar fraud. We have no
ioubt that they are fabricated papers. We are
,ot required to determine the guilt Of any one, |
'ut the mortgage, and we do not think the |
estimony requires any further remarks on the
subject.
We do not feel that we know enough about |
he method of procedure to pass upon the
yuilt or innocence Of any one else and oil
that can reasonably be INDUCED
hould be in favor OF innocence where II il
possible.
The DEGREES below should be reversed and |

Isan Bernardino INDEX .

The San Francisco Bulletin is as
tonishingIy behtndhand in its rail-
road news from this part OF the
State. In its issue Of the 22d it
says editorially:
The Atchison, Topeka d Santa Fe is Q
great corporation. 1t attends strictly tC
the business Of extending its line without
making much ado or great promises. 1t has
been noticed largely in the newspapers Of
late, and the last rumor says it contem-
plates the building of a through line from
the Rio Grande to San Diego. No intelli-
gence of such purpose has reached the
President of the Southern Pacific Railroad
in this city, and the report is very proba-
bly, the mere gossip of some excited passen-
ger agent.
This bit of editorial wisdom is
displayed after the representatives
of that road have been here, and
engaged for two weeks In looking
out the most feasible route to their
Western terminus as San Diego. 1t
IL very difficult for the San Fran
cisco papers to see any railroad
movement towards this coast that
does not have it's focus In San Fran
cisco. Its oracle for railroad In
formation is the office of the Presi-
dent Of the Southern Pacific. Time
will develop the fact even to the
understanding of San Francisco
journalists, that the Pacific Coast
is not embraced within the limits
Of their city, and that the President
OF the Southern Pacific is not the
dictator to all the railroad lines in
the United States.

Massacre of Texans.

A NetOs San Antonia special Of
the 28th says: The Indians are re-
ported to be depredating the coun-
try 100 miles west of Ell Paso. A
Texas party of fifteen men went in
pursuit, followed the trail to Can
deIaria Mountain, where the Indi-
ans ambushed them, killing all but
one or two. When this news
reached town a strong party organ
lied and started on the trail. Ar
riving at the scene of the massacre
they commenced to bury the dead.
While thus employed they were
fred upon and ten men killed. The
Indians were apparently armed
with Sharrs rifles, and supposed te
be freqJ-ehters of United States
rsseryation. A large force has
bean organized.
