A CONSCI OFFICER,

The campaign in Hartford county was conduct
ed in very ungcncrous manner towards Mr.
Geo. Y. Maynadler the Democratic candidate
for States Attorney. False statements were
made in reference to the carrying out of the
local option law in Hartford county. The Time,
attempted to make it appear that Mr.. Maynadier,
as States Attorney, had failed in his duty in
that respect. But the voters answered
at the polls with majority for Mr.. Maynadier
of 397 The local option people cut Mr.. May
nader few votes but not enough to endangel
his election. There is no more conscientious
ofllcerin the State than Mr. Maynadier.

ANOTHER CANNING House BuRNED.-The
canning house and barn of Mr.. q. &. Martin,
near Aberdeen, were destroyed by fire, about
noon, on Monday. One end of the barn had
been fitted up with hunks for the hands, and
was unoccupied The fire is believed to have
started there. The other end was used as IL
stable, and contained three horses. In loosen.
ing them Mr.. Martin had one side of his face
and one hand slightly burned. The canning
house, which was situated ten or twelve feet
from the barn, caught fire from the latter. 1t
contained about $50 cases of tomatoes and 90
bushels of wheat all Of which were destroyed.
The flames spread so rapidly that half an hour
after the smoke was seen issuing from the barn,
both buildings were burned to the ground. Mr..
Martin had an insurance of $500 on his barn,
and 1878 on canning house and contents, in the
Hartford company. The canned goods were

ATTEMPTED RoBBERY-A PLUCKY CLERK
On Tuesday morning, about one o'clock, MIR .
Louis Knofer, clerk in 4. L. Hanway Il Co.'S
store, at Aberdeen, on returning from a party TO
his sleeping quarters over the store, found the
store door ajar and saw light inside Going
up to the door he called out, "Who's here"'
Immediately three men rushed out and running
against him knocked him down. He arose
quickly and fired at them with his revolver.
They returned the fire, but without striking
him, and he fired at them again. Several of
the clerks were asleep over the store at the
time. An examination of the premises was
made. The rogues had bored holes in the front
door, making an opening through which the bar
could be removed and the door opened. They
had gone to work in systematic manner, Sc
lecting the most valuable goods. One of them
had piled up all the razors and penknives,
another had selected number of ladies' coats,
the best in the store, while the third had paid
his attention to mems underwear. Their timely
discovery by Mr.. Knofler frustrated their de.
signs. All the booty they obtained was Sl.25

The certiorayi case of Joseph Mackin, of Havre
de Grace, came up Monday morning. Mackin
had been arrested and taken before Justice Adams,
charged with violation of the local option law.
Mackin waived jury trial and elected to be tried
before the magistrate under the provisions of sec
ton of the local option law. The case was tried
and n fine of 500 imposed upon the accused
He then demanded an appeal, which the magis-
trate refused Mackins counsel obtained writ
ofcertiorari from Judge Walters, by which the
papers were to be brought before the Circuit
Court for review. States Attorney Maynadier
and Henry w. Archer appeared for the State,
and VIM. Young, stump and Hopkins for
Mackin.
Mr.. Maynadier stated the case and argued that
the writ should be dismissed, on the ground
that Mackin had been tried and the fine impos-
ed in accordance with the law; that he had
voluntarily waived q jury trial and had elected
to be tried by the magistrate.
Messrs. Young and Stump argued that the
proceedings before the magistrate were defective
because the warrant for Mackin's arrest did not
contain the name or names of the person or per-
sons to whom the liquor was alleged to have
been sold, and that the constitutional guarantee
Of the right of trial by jury could not be taken
away.
Mr.. Archer said the proceeding was not in the
nature of au appeal, but merely to review the
action of the magistrate and see whether II was
in accordance with the law or not.
The certiordri was quashed by Judge Wattars,
on the ground that the party aggreved had the
right OF appeal, and therefore the writ would
not lie. An appeal was docketed by consent and

The case of the State vs.. Robert Galloway, of
Havre de Grace, began ON Tuesday. 1t was an
appeal by Galloway from decision of Justice
Adams filming him 300 and costs for shooting a
big gun In violation of the ducking law. The
principal evidence for the State was that of De-
tective Lindsay, who testified that he followed
Galloway in boat on the night of the 18th of
December, 1882, and while concealed on the
shore of Spesutia Island, saw Galloway fire his
big gun and recognized linn when he came
ashore. Evidence was offered by the defence to
show that the water along shore was at that
time covered with ice; that ducks do not gather
In large buuches or feed under such circumstan-
ces, and that the night, In every respect, was
unsuitable for cunning.
Mr.. Peter Galloway, a gunner of so years ex-
perience, testified that one QUICKER can not be

CHLORIDE, SOCORRO COUNTY, N NJ, FRIDAY JUNE 49, 1883

or so ago that the enterprislng citizens
of that place paid large sum of money
to the New York Graphic for an illus
trated sketch of their town and people
and received for their money a gush of
senseless words and some pictures of
faded figures which would have as
well passed for castles in Spain" as
business houses In Silver City. Lately
the experiment was repeated with the
Mining Review of Denver, which did a
little better with the job but so fear
fully distorted the names of the persons
mentioned that their parents would not
have recognized them. The people
should become aware of the fact that
there are good newspapers published
in their own town and that if the
money paid to outside institutions had
been invested at home the result would
have been much more satisfactory,
while the funds expended could have
been kept at home to return to their
own pockets.

Fights With His Head.

Some four years ago the Sioux on the
Dakota reservation became restless,
and among other suspicious movements,
fixed date for grand pow WOW, or
sun dance. The government at once
dispatched word to Crook, who was
known by the Indians to be in Texas,
to repair in all possible haste to the
Sioux country. As the generals party
on his arrival, sauntered into the coun-
Gil meeting, the surprise and discon-
iture of the Indians was great. When
the great pipe was is in due course
handed to Crook. he made fatherly
but significantly admonitory address
that ratified" our saddle-tinted wards
still more. As he ceased, an extremely
young chief strobe across the floor, seiz-
ed the generals arm, felt his bicepts
curiously. Then with an expression of
great contempt, he exclaimed in the
Sioux tongue:
ulb CdluO0 DO q klOdO WulAlOA
his arm is like squaw's."
At this white-halred chief named
Red Cloud, angrily pushed the young
brave aside, exclaiming: "The Gray
Fox fights with his head, not his arm"
"Then. instantly, retorted the young
warrior, "he should be called the Gray
Ram"
The entire audience instantly fell
upon the speaker, and after a desperate
struggle, he was bound hand and foot
and searched. Under his moccassins
were found a pair of yellow topped
tooth-pick shoes, and his buckskin
shirt contained an eight carrat diamond
cut out of the bottom of a goblet.
He confessed to being the end man of
a wrecked minstrel troupe, who was
trying to scalp his way back to the set
tlement.
He was at once tomahawked by
unanimous vote of the Convenion.-
