A CARD.

FLC KENCE. \. T., Dece Der i5. is,t.
 In comm ln with other pea ,eable citizens in this community. l was shocked to read in the local cnlu- ms of your paper several days agl tha. Mr. Chlrles l.. Lundy had gone into the residences of 'ColoEelr C. F. Daley and cow hiied ;he latter tkere.
 hsvs sinss cal .d a. thu Unitc1 States Land Ofii se in your city and re .l Mr pailcy's alleged brief n the contest of Livingston vs. ROs- sruge Wiih a view ol satisfying myself whether Nr Luady vas warrautel in skipping Mr. Dsi- | l-y'- face and cowhi ling him in his own house; ald the conclusion reached sa- well expressed by a goEileman Nho V ts present ai the tine. xho s1id tliht Sir. DIiley's vulgar and hbell us Httack therein upon Mr. Lundy would have jus lined the latter in giving him twenty minutes tO r-t out of town. and never return on penalty Of coming m contact w.th the tue of boot when ever he Was met upon the eftre,t
 AfterI read Colonel" Dailey's brief l saw his | card in the CITIZEN. since which time haten wondered that he permitted mere boy to floor him in his ovn dwelling. hollering Ike a coyote as he ran away from inc whistl ng rawhide.
 Any man who loves AIiElna and the courage and honor ot her people cannot read Col pai- ley's cArd-Nhich Is characteristic cJDfession | Of a craven spiri.-withodt painful sense o' sham, especially ~hen he remembers that the writer within a feS weeks had the brazrn tf- frvutery to as pre to represe nt in Cong ess thi. magnificent Territory. whose gillsst men are | famous everywhers for acts of phy,ical md moral heroisn.
 | It IS this same '-Col' Dsi'ey who. when he sa~ | a broad smile on the face of every one whom he asked to support him for Delegate tD Congress besgs sd. ard happily m vain, to be nom mated for | Territorial Superintendent of Public lnstruc- tiOn. As children learn lees by precep; than | from example, had he been nominated and e!ec- ted to this latter office. what an in tructive moral they might have drawn from the picture "f ''Supi" Daley running away from one who | slapped him m the face. for the Avowei purpose Of getting some weapon to defend himself against the assault of persoa who. As Col" Dailey confesses. simply hit bim m the face with his fist.
 For Heavens sake. le; us discontinue the farce of giving military title to ore xhO, when he sees a man approach hirp ~ith a ra~Lide. Ld mits that he runs like turkey from his pur- suer.
 While m tho Unitei States Land Office I also read a pa of the test mony m the Living ston-Roskruge case. from which 1t appears m evidence that Mr. Dailey. while he vas Ee- ceiver in the Lsnt OGhce. endesvOred to get an interest m the tracts of land entered by Mr. Ros- krugs and others; that Roskruse tod Dailey that the position Of the latter Receiver of Pubhc Mons,s prohibited him from becoming interested m thess lands; that Receiver Dailey thcreapon procured persons to jump these claims and used the II fuence of his position as | a government officer defraud the original se:- tiers out of thtir riguis under the lss.
 The evidence. moreover. slows an arrogant and even criminal exercise of authority on the part of Receiver Iail,y. while in ofics; and having been dismissed from his pO.ition as Re- ceiver. TTior to ihe hearing in the case of Liv- ings,on vs. Roskruse, Mr. Dsiley. finding him. self Hnable to further outrage the.e settlers. officially. appeared as attorney against Mir. Roe kruge. who had refusei to enter into sn unlaw- ful partnership with him originally. Mr. Daley. judging from the brief he filed in the Land or fee, seems to have acted upon the theory that 1t was one of hi. privileges, as attorney. to viilIfy and islander opposing witnesses. For doing this he was cowhidel the day before he started to | Washington.
 The Colonel" did not tArry here long after he was logged Tity for the people of Arizona that he did not come in coutac- with the end of Lun- dy's riats foar years aga for in the past four years he has done more mischief than a hur- dred better men could undo in life time True, | there were no railroads m thoee days. when the l ''Colonel's majestic military hgure was the Ai- | mirAtion of the huub denilens of Florence. so | that he could not then have gone back East" in | such i'm posing styls a. now. but could have gone ] AfOot and made better tune. especially If he got such a start ks he received from Lundys cow | hide. cut st every J=mp.
