the defect if possible. but the situa-

that the 1000 saloon keepers will be

Rulings.
The new metropolis at the Junction
of the O. S. l.. and Wood River roads
is now passing through the primary
phases of frontier life under artificial
excitements.
The town is located on a desert
waste where lumber, water and fuel
are scarce. The population is
largely quartered in tents, and sage
brush is the chief fuel. Hundreds of
men are now arriving there, most of
them seeking employment. There is
no doubt but Naples will experience
great lawlessness and furnish an occa-
sional man or two for breakfast daily
this spring. Yesterday Justice Grams
ton tried case, and the crowd took
exceptions to his ruling and literally
despatched him with fragrant hem
fruit, as he sat lodging the missiles
flying through the air. Justice Grams
ton will require militia company to
preserve order before his term of Of
fee expires.

The Karr Case.

The State of Kansas vs.. Z. A. Karr,
for the murder of NJ. S. Sprowls, was
called in the dristrict court of Kingman
county, Tuesday, April 18th. Council
for the state offered their reasons for
not filing an information, County AttOr-
ney Kinsey, taking the ground that ev-
idence was not sufficient to convict. Z.
A. Karr Is free man, and the mysteri-
Gus disappearance of NJ. s. Sprowls is
still shrOuded in darkness. Whether
KarT is a murderer, or Sprowls ran away
to avoid the penitentiary for crimes
committed, is unknown; whether Karr
was arrested purely under mercenary
motives, or to ferret out crime and pun
ish the guilty,is wrapped in mystery. If
crime has been committed, evidence of
the dark and damnable deed is smother
ing in the breast of the murderer, and
will never be known only to his Maker.
This much we do know, that this, the
first murder case ever docketed in King
man county, has been dismissed by the
prosecution for want of evidence, and
the prisoner discharged. E. A. Karr
stands before the world to-day an inno-
cent man, for he was not proven guilty.
