this city, beginning with the arrest

have nothing to do with the question
OF his guilt or innocence Of the charge
upon which he was arrested by officers
from New Mexico: but they have
much 60 do with the effect on Fort

bald proposition is, whether legally
qualified officers holding legal writs In
their hands can execute them In Fort

trlot, which in 1889 elected Gon, Re-
publican, by 1900 majority, has just
