The Larned lard office is putting
some of our people to unnecessary
trouble and expense by refusing to ac-
cept drafts in lieu ofcash for payments
on land 10y pre-emptors. The drafts is

on Kansas City as general thing, and
if cashed by the Larned banks could be
utilized. 1t is expensive to send mon

rency 10y registered letter, and we have
no express here. More than likely this

of the Standardization" that now
characterizes the Larned land Office.

EDITOR HERALD: win you have the kind
ness to allow me the space in your columns
to reply to an assault made on me by the Los
Angeles Times, of last Friday morning. on
Thursday morning of last week the HERALD
contained a communication signed ar II.

pooned the Times. Thereupon the editor of
that paper, stung to the very quick, sta rted
out on a hunt for somebody to wreak ven
geance on, and Eurekal X. II. W. means r.
II. H., and X. II. II. is your humble servant;
and on Friday morning there appeared in
the Times as violent and villainous an attack
on me, as the author of the communication,
as one need wish to see. In the writer's ex.
hibition of vituperation and personal malig
nifty he loses sight of all decency and goes
of In wild harangue, heaping abuse on
me In unstinted measure, showing his ugly
and vicious nature. ! was somewhat aston

cause of the assault. was met in very
friendly manner by Col, ii. II. Boyce, one OF
the, proprietors. assured him the paper
had fallen into very grave error and had
done me injustice; that did not write the
communication in the HERALD, signed "R
IL. W." and up to that time had not seen or
read 1t; that my name was X. II. Hewitt, the
lHlllhls uelHB " H. H. tnHt WIS entlrely lg
norant of the whole transaction; that the arti

asked that an apology be made, as the only
courteous amend. This Col. Royce agreed
to do and made note to that effect. have
waited four days, ard no retractiOn or apol

therefore justified in thinking that there is
no intention of doing this act of common
justice | was at first surprised at the
writer's presumption in making me the sub

to be classed with cowardly assassins, who
only stab their victims in the dark.
thought the attack uncaled for and ungen-
tlemnnly, and the refusal to make reparalion

that its author entertains a very low con.

A Brutal MEXICAN.
He Clubs a Little BOY Nearly rs

Yesterday afternoon about three o'clucf 3
ported that there was little boy lying in
the sand ON the other side of the railroad
bridge who seemed to be badly hurt Chief
Cuddy sent an officer to the scene at once.
The officer soon returned in wagon. bring
ing with him the boy whose head and face
presented most horrible appearance.
There were numerous scalp wounds on his
head, long, deep cash extended across his
forehead and both of his eyes were closed.
Dr. Harmon was at once summoned and
dressed the childs wounds The boy then
made the following statement, which was
somewhat incoherent, owing to his weak.
ness from loss OF blood: His name is Willie
klieber aged twelve years, and he lives
with Mexican woman on the Plaza, near
the Water Works Company, with whom his
father had left him. There Is a Mexican
named Juan Del Poso who Is constant
visitor of this woman. Yesterday the
woman's daughter came to the house and
asked him to tell her when Del Poso came
He did so and Del Poso got very mad. lie
made the boy go with him across the
railroad bridge and there beat him with
a heavy stick until he lost consciousness
The boy knew no more until the policeman
came and found him lying in the sand, with
his face covered with blood.
The whole police force were given de-
scription of the dastardly villain, and are
searching for him in all directions, and he
will no doubt be speedily arrested.
The physician says the child's wounds are
very serious, and may prove fatal. At pres
ent he Is resting quietly and there are hopes
OF his recovery. Whether he RECEIVERS or
not, the most severe punishment should be
meted out to the brute who inflicted the in
juries on him. II the boys tale is true
which II seems to be, the ordinary course
of justice in the Del Poso case will be much
too slow to satisfy the people.
