The GAZETTE may be obscure, but
ii threw such u Hood of light upon Ak
telle's history and deeds that the re-
doubtable supple tool of the railway
kings will surely come TO grief. The
leading acts of Axtelle's public life will
be submitted to-day or tomorrow TO
the president. The pretty biography
will be turned over to Brewster Cam
eron, better known US the department
of Justice. The Brewster family will
pigeon-hole the papers. Then resolu-
lions will be adopted in both houses of
congress demanding that these papers
be given to these two bodies, and then
the country will learn,
First, that the Il. TT Worth GAZETTE
has become representative newspaper
not only of Texas but of the West.
Second, that practically it occupies!
seats in both houses of congress.
Third, that the cattle kings who in
vested $l50,000 in IL are hot fcnce-cut-
tiers. but that they do guide u guilloiine
| for the special purpose of beheading
such fellows rs this bloody-shirt flout-
er Axtelle.
Fourth, that if the Brewsters refuse
to decapitate this New Mexican tyrant
and idiot. congress will discharge the
pleasing task by Impeachment.
THE INDICTMENT
Invested Of technical forms will de-
clare: ID That AXtelle, on the
bench, suffers witnesses in prejudged
cases to detail hearsay testimony. (2)
He hears one side and refuses to hear
the witnesses or lawyers on the other.
| (3) He decides cases on trial by refer
ence TO facts he gathers and conversa-
lions occurring outside the court room.
| l4) He issues injunctions To Dust one
person and place another in
| possession OF property even while
an action of ejectInent TO determine
the title and and right of possession il
| pending. (5) He appoints receivers
who seize valuable property, giving no
bond and required to give none, aud
then they and AXtelle play ducks and
brakes with jewelry stores and the
like. t6) He gets Oh the bench and
rails at and threatens lawyers with
ruin 10 their business IL they dare TO
criticize his Judicial ac,ionand DEGREES.
! I'D He disbars lawyers thut he dis
likes and for no other cause. 49, He
tells litigants that they must not en-
ploy these lawyers, If they would win
in his court. (9) He has filled his jail
with lawyers and people ''for
contempt of court,u which Is
an universal and hopelessly incurable
mania throughout New Mexico. He
denies TO victims of his malice, thus
incarcerated, the writ of habeas COR
pus. uOl He permits the clerk of his
court, who Is his son-in-law, to exact
in0rdinate fees and make lawless
charges against litigants and the gov
ernment. an To use his own sweet
words he "varysp the statutes and re-
verses decisions of higher courts with
sublime iiSoucidnce. l2) He ignores
lawful sherifls and appoints others
when the whim seizes him, and then
when frightened by the lawful officer
by threats of having TO make good lost
fees due the proper sheriff he tells the
sheriff that he can make all things
even by certifying swollen bills
DULLES grand juries, and forces
them to find true bills when there is
no basis for them against those whom
he dislikes. OBJ He calls iuries into
the courtroom and instructs them
even during the night
when the attorneys are not present.
Oh! he is daisy, this man Axtelle,
Of whom the half has not been told,
and am curious to see whether the
illustrious Encouragement will have
he hardihOod TO suffer these facts TO
be ventilated by congressional COM
nittees. When the department of
ustice fails or refuses 10 remove AK
ellie, the special reasons for this will
)e ventilated.
brand LARCENY AND A HOT CAKE.
DO you remember speech made by
! Democrat, Louis b. Cake, mt Re-
