Last October, negro named Bill Fra
zier, alias Harrison Hillman, shot and kill
ed Dick Bell. another negro, who was en-
ployed by the Comanche Pool. The muir
der was committed In Comanche county,
In the presence OF witnesses who testified
that ii was cold-blooded and IN no manner
could IL said to be In defense. Frazier, Tor
Hillman, as he Is now calledD was known
As dangerous man out there, and always
went armed. After he killed his man. he
went to Offerle, station on the Sante Fe,
sold bunch Of cattle he owned, and left
on the ours for the east.
The Conlanche Pool considered It duty
to offer q reward for the apprehension of
the murderer Of one Of their employees,
and did 80, Ia the sum Of $500, intending
thereby to warn the perpetrators Of crime
that they would rs certainly be punished
for evil-dOlng In unorganized Us well as In
an organized county.
Frazier was arrested by sc. Louis detec-
ttves, and soon afterwards Sheriff Rigg had
the murderer here, when the reward was
paid to the parties who made the arrest.
The prisoner was arraigned before s. r.
Roberts, Justice Of the peace, with Orner,
McNeal and Ellis for the defense and Ed.
Sample for the prosecution. The prelimi-
nary examination was postponed from time
to time, when Roberts, from some mystic
rious cause, resigned his Office, and the
case then went before Justice Paddock,
who released the prisoner on bond In the
sum OF four thousand dollars for his ap-
pearance here at the first day OF the next
term Of the district court.
Now comes in the interesting part of
this proceeding. Court met here hast
mouth with Judge Harris on the bench.

The State Executive Council could have
made themselves much better liked by
Stockmen If they had appointed one Of this
class on the board Of railroad commission
ers. The live stock industry receives but
little encouragement from the state of Kan
sis. The legislature freely supports So
called Board OF Agriculture, that Is nothing
but fat place for a few political pets but
IL won't employ n competent person to look
after the diseases Of live stock. A professor
Is employed to ascertain how much pig
will gain when fed under shelter rs CON-
pared with one outside; but no one pays
any attention to the great destruction Of
stock by the poisonous loco weed. Big
salaries are paid men for featuring on farm
ing rs conducted on the other side of the
earth thousand years ago as compared
with the present riding-sulkey
cover style, conducted In kansas This state
needs a good combination horse. cow and
hog doctor; who can give a remedy for To-
co poison who can prescribe preventative
against Texas cIttle fever, and who can tell
how to keep down the mortality figures IN
the swine family during hog cholera times.
We want n nulroad commissioner and
the combination doctor, too; and will have
both within two years.

II being held under ne new law creating
the 18Th district. several weeks earlier than
the regular term would have been held, no
preparations had besn made, and conse-
qncntly no cases were tried. Frazier was
here, and when the question came up as to
what disposition shonld be made of his
case. 10 McNeal who was Fraziers coun-
sci, and also acting rs prosecuting attorney
during Dir. Samples absence ut Topeka,
filling the position Of committee clerk, an
nounced his willingness and desire that
Frazier should be permitted to 90 under
the old bond. though il was clearly not
worth the paper it was written OIL. Being
the drfenthlnt's attorney with control of his
money. he could easily forget his duty to
the state and imagine this would be fair
proceeding. Judge Harris accepted the
suggestion, or request, of the acting prose
cutting attorney and allowed Frazier to de-
part, without any bond. To say the act
ion Of Judge Harris was careless. and the
proceeding of 10. McNeal WAS class of
double-tlcaling, is ms charitable as we can
put the case. No attorney should attempt
to act oil both sidss of y CASE. For no less
offense attorneys have been disbarred be-
fore now.
Mr.. Sample gives as his excuse for not
attrndingto tins important case that he
had forgotten the thy court was to be held
here. To say the least, ihis Is unsatisfacto-
ry to his constituents.
II murder can be committed in commu-
nifty and the murderer turned loose with so
little regard for custom, law or practice,
there Is little protection to be expected by
citizens.
When 1t was found that a serious blum
der had been committed promises were
made that Frazier would give new bond
or that tIie sheriff would be required to
bring him to this county, Nothing ha,
been done In the matter and the question
now is, have we no law. or will our OH
CTS persist in not enforcing II.

The Republican press Of Kansas made
up It's mind before Governor Click was
elected that it would not see anything good
come out OF his administration. so long
had Republican jobbery existed and thrIy-
ed that the party organs dared not object,
let they touch on some important con-
stiutional right inherited by the party No
sooner had the new Governor been declar.
eli elected, the microscopic watch comlnenc-
ed. Outside OF his appointments the Gov.
ernor has had but little opportunity to dis
please, had Inc tried; but at last one act
was committed that gave the GROWERS an
opportunity 10 charge him with all sorts of
jobbery. He sanctioned contract entered
into by the penitenliary officials 10 sell a
part Of the surplus coal mined inside the
prison walls. The price to be paid was
lower than the coal was sold to individual
consumers, and 50 the kick occurred. II
appears, however, that there Is no reason
for IL After supplying the contractors
and the state and the individuals who have
heretofore obtained their supply from this
source, there will be several thousand BUSH
els u month left. The trouble Is that
Leavenworth Is not permitted to use all the
coal tt wants from the penitentiary, free OF
cost.

The selection Of an inspector at Kansas
City depends upon the number Of cattle rep
resented by the members Of the Southwest
ern Association, and on which they are
willing to pay the small tax necessary to
be raised for the salary of some man to be
employed. All agree that'an inspector Is
badly needed mt that place, who will see to
1t that the brands Of Barbour and Comanche
counties are properly looked after. The
meeting last week decided TO employ
an inspector when the number of cattle
listed should reach fifty thousand. A tax
Of one cent per heal OH this number, add
ed to the funds now In the hands Of the
treasurer OF the association, would pay an
Inspector from the first OF June until the
first OF NOVEMBER. We consider this an
important matter, which should rccrive the
consideration Of the stOckmen in this sec
ton. Certainly the amount TO BE- gained
by the employment OF mn inspector will
warrant the employment of a good man.
Parties desiring to derive benefit from
the employment of an inspector at Kansas
City should send In their names, with a
statement OF the number OF cattle they
represent, to the Secretary Of the nssOcia-
ton, w. +. HoughtoII, ut this place.
