When Hon. Granville H. Oury was here last Fall he mentioned as one of the meritorious services he had done for this county, the establish ment of several new mail routes and especially the ones between Mineral Park and Fl Dorado Canon. These two routes may have been established but there has never been a mail sack carried over eth CT route since, and now orders come from Washington to the postmaster here 10 discontinue the route from here to El Dorado Cshcn. Why, bless your poor old innocent souls at Washington, don't sou know we have never had a mail over this route and therefore it is impossible to discontinue that which has 1SFsr been commenced, and the other route from Signal to the Park, about which Oury bragged so much, will doubtless meet the same fate. We don't want mail routes. we want mails with letters, newspapers, &c., in th 5m. Let 1t go forth that, with tho exception of a route from Miner al Park to St. George and Pioche.. which concerns and benefits Nevada more than it does, us, there is but one mail route over which any mail is carried in this large. rich and won derful county of Mohave and that is between Fort Mohave and the end of the A. & P. track at Williams. and if the citizens of Mineral Park and Blackberry had not started that and paid for 1t out of their own pockets until they shamed the Government into continuing 1t, we should have been without even that much. Bet ter stop talking about reducing the letter postage to two cents and all such and give us back our old Stal Routes and we in Mehave county will willingly stand our share o1 their stealings and pay it in advance if necessary. The present state oi the mail service in this county is simply disgraceful.

ing for days in company with one August Boedweg who furnished the necessary food for all, the others be- ing dead broke, because Boedweg would not divide his money with them, waited until he was asleep, and then put rope around his neck, the [ end ofwhich they threw over the limb | of tree apparently with the inten- tion of hanging him, but lacking the courage to carry out the deed, they first tied his feet and then tying his hands securely behind him they tied him to tree, aad took all his money and blankets, water and provisions, and left him to die horrible finger tug death, far worse than hanging. And letit not be forgotten that all this took place on a desert some fiji teen miles from any habitation and in the month of March. Happily for Boedweg, he was able to release him self after working for some hours, and about eight o'clock next morning wandered into one of the railroad camps in an exhausted and nearly crazy condition. Here he procured the services of a deputy sheriff who followed the trail of the robbers for some two or three days and eventual Iy captured them within few miles of Prescott. They were then taken to Mineral Park where they had their preliminary examination ard were held to answer, ,and on their trial before Judge French plead guilty, under the advice of their attorney, and were sentenced to i've years i'm prisonment in the Territorial prison, at Yuma, at the April term of Court. ill this year. These men have been ID prison a little over seven months and yet already application is to be made to have them pardoned out. We consider these two convicts to be worse than murderers, for is 1t not worse to tie a man up to tree in a barren desert in the cold March winds and snow and leave him to die lingering death, than to kill him instantly with blow of club or a pistol shot. We believe that these
 men should be made to serve out their full sentence, and advise every
 one to have nothing to do with any
 application for their pardon, to re
 fuse to sign any petition to that ef
 feet, and to use every lawful means
 possible to prevent such a pardon being issued. What is the use oi OUT holding trials and transporting
 prisoners to Yuma if tLey are to be
 let out in few months? There has
 been too much of this pardoning
 business in the Territory and WE propose to raise our voice against 1t except in meritCrlous cases, and thi:
 certainly is not one of them, and
 shall see to 1t that the Governor ot } this Territory has the full facts oi this case set before hIm, and wher
 that is done we have little fear that the application for pardon will be
 successful.
