The Trial of Frank James.

The survivor of the notorious James
brothers, Frank, is now on trial in
Gallitin, Missouri, as participant in
the Winston train robbery. The trial
is likely to consume several weeks,
there being 200 witnesses summoned.
There are six lawyers on the part, of
the defense, and four on the part of
the prosecution. Gen. Joe Shelby is a
witness, and says he will swear posi-
lively that Frank James was not in
the state at the time of the Winston
robbery. Shelby's testimony will
have great weight with the jury. He
is regarded as pure man, and has a
state reputation. Horn, the Nash
vile detective, so greatly relied upon
by the prosecution for damaging tes.
timony to the accused, it is reported,
will testify in behalf of the defense.
Mrs. Hite, Of Kentucky, another of the
states witnesses, is now profeSscdly
ignorant, and therefore is not regard
ed as important in assisting in con-
viction. 1t is evident that the trial
will prove memorable one in the
legal annals of the state. The array
of lawyers, on either side, will do
their best to harvest an abundant crop
of glory. The case is much discussed
and the opinion is generally expressed
that a verdict of guilty is out of the
question. A hung jury is probable,
and an acquittal possible. The next
case docketed is for the trial of Frank
James for the murder of the banker
Sheets. Smoot and Mcdowell the
principal witnesses in this case for the
state, will not be upon the stand.
Smoot is dead, and Mcdowell has not
been IN the state for ten years. The
only other important witness, a Mr..
Ewing, thinks that neither of the two
men who raided the bank answers the
description of Frank James; one being
taller, the other shorter than the ac-
cused. The wonderful and thrilling
incidents of this mans life, for the
past twenty years, has cast such Il
witchery over his wicked deeds, as to
make them appear differently from
what they really are, and consequent-
ly will predispose his jury to gladly
give him the benefit of every doubt,
which the law cntttlcs him. =.

1t will be remembered that Gen.
Crook, on the 2Sth of February last,
IN letter to the Secretary of the In
terror, Teller, boasted of having
purged the San Carlos reservation of
dishonest persons. In view of what
has recently taken place at Prescott,
Camp Thomas and Huachuca, it would
appear the part of prudence for him
to administer an active cathartic, in
order to cause the evacuation from his
military family of several of the mem-
bers, who have been unable to resist
temptation. Inasmuch as the General
is replete with quotations, and in the
letter referred to, trenched upon the
the sayings Of Rabelais in regard to
the devil when sick. We will now
remind him Of another quotation,
which he can take to himself, and that
is the reference to the beam and mote
as seen in the eye. from different
standpoints.

The death, near Vienna, of the
French Count of Chambord, Duke of
Bordeaux, and called by his adhercnts
King Henry, the Fifth, extinguishes
the elder branch of the House of
Bourbon, that famous family of
monarchs, which has never learned
anything, and never forgotten any
thing" The Orleans line, with the
Count of Paris at its head, now comes
to the front as a claimant for the di-
vine right of Kings. This latter gen.
tleman is well known and favorably
regarded in the United States, having
served in our war, and written book
in reference to it. The Count of Paris
is descendant of the brother of Louis
XIV; Chambord was in the direct line.
He was the son of the assassinated
Due de Berri, grandson of King
Charles X, and grand nephew of King
Louis XVIII. Unfortunately for "the
divine right of Kings" France is a
Republic, and does not, and possibly
never WILL recognize ''the divinity that

"The Pilgrim Band" from whom
all blessings flow, is the name of
a religious order just taking its rise
in Illinois. Rayburn, an ex-Metho-
dist minister, is the accepted head
"and welcomed as the man sent by
God to bring them to the light In
their praise songs Rayburn takes the
place of God. Thus, "praise Rayburn,
from whom all blessings fow," and
while we are free to admit that Ray
burn is brick, we are constrained to
believe it sounds strangely to arthor-
dox ears, but, nevertheless, it is becom-
ing familiar in Schuyler, Brown, Cass,
Mason, and other counties of the state.
They espouse free love, in its broadest
sense, SO broad that Senator Edmunds
will not dare to wink at it, without
stulhfying himself upon his anti
polygamous bill, which he squeezed
through Congress, with a view of Civ
ing Mormon women a fair shake. The
Pilgrim Band, although but year.
ling, has so multiplied in numbers
that Ray from whom all bless
ings flow, has been enabled to COM
monce the erection of temple which,
when completed, will cost $4,000.
Caleb Anderson Obenshain is Ray
burns right bower, and who like the
boss, exudes immortal felicity at every
pore, and renders every one superla-
lively happy who partakes of Ray
burns relish of salvation. By faith
and prayer alone they profess to cure
collie in children, snifiies in old age, as
well as every other disease that flesh
is heir to. Since Rayburn is so I'M
selfshly spreading himself like a
green bay tree" in the interest of sin
full and suffering humanity, we should
keep him as the apple of the eye.
Shout hosannah's to his and Oben-
shain's great names.

Correcting a Popular Error.

A copy of the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser containing an article
upon the timber lands of the United
States, and another with a reply
from Donald Robb, have just been re-
ceived.. Our associate editor, though
absent from Arizona, is always ready
to do battle for her.
1t will be remembered that in the
series of Railway Screeds" that ap,
peared in the BELT, recently, in treat,
ing Of the timber, only 20 trees were
estimated to Che acre, and 1900 feet to
the tree; in the Commercial Advert,
sers article, so trees to the acre are
used as basis, and the statement is
made that 100 trees are frequently
found in 1000 square feet. The con-
servatism of our statement is appar-
cnt. If we had used the figures of the
Advertiser, we would have made the
timber reserve along the line of the
A. M. B, railroad, nearly 200,00O,000,-
600 feet.

Prescott has quarantined against
Phenix on account of small pox, in the
latter place. If the statement of the
Phenix Gazette, of the 9th inst, is
correct that there are but two cases in
Phenix and six IN the pest house and
that the infected places are strictly
guarded, it looks as if the Prescott
scare was not warranted by the facts
of the case. 1t seems that Prescott is
the only place that has taken precau-
tionary measured, although there are
populous towns much nearer Phenix
than Prescott.

ASse'ss
So
1t is evident that Gen, Crook when
unloading to the Citizens reporter, in
room %, Portcr's Hotel, Tucson, June
~, 1883, made miscue in denying
that he made terms with the Indians
in the Sierra Madre, Mexico. The
following letter from the General to
the War Department, is most instruc-
tive upon that point, and totally at
Variance with his interview with the
Citizen reporter at the time referred
60. Forty.six days later, he officially
admits that he did make terms, Inas-
nuch as we never credited his former
statement, we now readily believe
that truth and daylight met in
his letter of August 7th, here repro
duced, and that truth in relation to
that particular incident of the notc-
bic expedition, will now be embalmed
in history Here is the letter:
HEADoUARrERs, DEPARTMENT
OF ARIZONA, Aug. Z, 1883.
To the Adjutant-General of the
United States Army-Sir: Referring
10 the communication from your office
Of July 10Th, transmitting copies OF
the correspondence from Governor
Ckihnenbrech and the Minister of Mex
leo with the Secretary, to me, in the
Sierra Madres, | have the honor to
state | am in full sympathy with Gov
cruor TerrazaS in the ultimate end
sought that is, the welfare and secu-
rity Of life and property in both coun.
tries. Though the Chiricahua prison
ers are doubtless guilty of many and
repeated acts of hostility and outrage
both in Mexico and the United States,
they are now prisoners and surren-
dered with the understanding that
their past misdeeds would not be pun
ished, provided they behaved them
selves in future. TO attempt to pun
ssh those who are ON the San Carlos
reservation as prisoners would be an
act of per6dy and bad faith and would
unquestionably not only prevent the
return to the agency of the Chirica-
huas left in the Sierra Madres, but
would precipitate an Indian war which
would be more serious in its results
upon the two countries than any which
has preceded it, inasmuch as both
countries are rapidly developing and
1t, cfy.,a 81 ~ flxy ha, r.
inaugurated, all of which offer new
facilities for plumber and destruction.
1t would be almost as impossible to
exterminate the Chiricahuas in their
mountain homes as the wolves and CO.
votes with whom they share possession
of the Sierra Madres. So long as any
of them survive, so long would the
carnival of death and depreciation con-
tinue. / believe firmly that the exact
acquiescence by our Government in the
terms upon which these Indians under
stood they were to be allowed to live
upon the San Carlos reservation is the
only possible means of protecting the

Pine Lands in the Southwest.

We republish the following interes-
ting letter, from the Commercial Ad-
vertiser, from the pen of Donald nobb;
New YORK, Aug. 20, 1888,
EDITOR COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER
In your supplement of last Saturday
there was an interesting article with
the signature sc. d." attached to it,
The writer is guilty of an involuntary
unfairness when he says: "All the
Southwestern territory, as well as
Mexico proper, has no pine lands, and
therefore is in the market for pine"
Of course the statement grows out of
the popular error that nothing grows
in those section of the continent but
coyotes, Apaches and Irish dividends.
Magnificent forests of pine are found
on the mesa or table lands of the Sier-
ra Madres. Some of it, as on the mesa
grando, is within 175 miles of Hermo-
sillo and Guaymas, and both of these
important towns get their timber from
Puget Sound and Arizona. In Ari-
zona the known timber reserve (pine)
covers an area of not less than 5000
square miles. The Atlantic and Pa
cific Railroad runs through its north
ern end, and branch of that road,
the Arizona Mineral Belt, cuts it about
its center, north and south. A con-
servative estimate made of the amount
of timber available when the latter
road is built, counting twenty miles
each side of the track, twenty trees to
the acre, and 1900 feet to the tree,
reaches a total of IS, ,S30000'0O0; near
ly as much, taking the estimate Of the
Government officials, as Michigan,
Minnesota, and Wisconsin put togeth-
er. 1t appears TO me d safe statement
to make that in the reserves of the
Mogollon, Santa Rita, and Pinal Noun
tains, and in the Sierra An has and
Mazatzals there are 149,7G0,000,O00,
feet of timber board measurement.
The most Of the trees in the Mogo-
lions will square three feet and run
nearly 100 feet without a limb.
have seen battery blocks FUSED in
quartz mills) that squared four feet,
taken from within six miles of the
town of Globe. Until the completion
of the A. and P. Road, Southeastern
Arizona and Southwestern New Mex
leo were customers to Truckee, Cali
fornia and Oregon for their pine; with
this road, and the Arizona Mineral
Belt completed they will find it at
their own doors, and not be obliged,
as your correspondent mistakenly con-
cludes, to look for it in the country
east of them. The popular idea shat
Arizona is an arid desert is fast being
removed by the powerful logic of facts.
Her mines of copper and silver; her
immense area of grazing ground; her
deposits of coal; her magnificent eli
mate and her timber are attracting
the attention of the whole country.
She has had to struggle against vile
aspersions, bitter enmities, popular
ignorance, bad mine management, ras-
cally manipulators and Apache muir
derers; but her mines have added
much to the nations wealth, her pop
ulation has increased wonderfully, her
journalists have battled valiantly for
her, and the men, who like myself, are
absent from her awhile, have enough
love tor her to take umbrage at any
statement or conclusion that does not
do her justice.
Respectfully yours, DR..
