Sc cree que Rodriguez no quiso de-
jarse robar Improvements, y los crimi-
males lie dispararon dos 8 tres tiros,

quiso salir Ia defensa del marido, y

We are now having most delight

is agreeably availed of by patients
in enjoying recreation, which adds
greatly to their happiness, after the
long winter confinement. | am pleas
ed to report the general health Of
inmates is good. If a mental dis
turbance could be as readily man.
aged and controlled as physical all
ments are relieved, very few patients
would remain for any great length
of time, but unfortunately, no ply
stefan has yet discovered remedies
which will restore shattered mind.
Many. it is true, recover, and are re-
stored to their friends, but it is not
from remedies applied as medicine,
but from care and attention, and
keeping the physical condition in n
healthy state.

county, met on the It'll inst, and
will likely remain in session for sew
eral days. Contracts for supplies
for six months will be entered into,
and by resignation of lst Assistant

will be necessary to elect a success
sor. | hear several names mention

good man, both of morals as we'll as

of any changes likely to occur. in

The Board will arrange to put the

tract 1t will be built of brick, and
will be q large building, three stories
high, and should have sufficient
room in it to accommodate not less

There are to-day in Asylum, $50
patients-352 male and $50 female.

Immense Land frauds Unearthed In the
Land OF the Famous Traveller.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 6.-The atten
ton OF the interior department has beer
called to the gigantic swindle which has bsen
practiced upon upon the Germans by a few
sharpers in south Arkansas The investiga,
ton of the matter, which is now in progress
in Lafayette, Columbia, Union and Ouichit
counties, has implicated fifteen persons and
unearthed 800 cases in which frauds have
been perpetrated. Under the graduation
act, passed BY congress in 1s45, the purchas.
ers of land in that section should have re
ceived the title to the land at twelve and a
half cents per acre.
Through a misconstruction OF the law
many who purchased large tracts Of the gov
eminent land were required TO pay fifty cents
per acre. \ great many persons to whom
this land was sold have died, and the where
abouts of the heir unknown. The parties
implicated recently, through fraud, secured
letters of administration ON the estates, and
presenting the claims to the United States
land office secured the thirty seven and one
half cents overcharged by the government.
In many instances letters of administration
have been procured on the estates Of persons
alleged to be deceased who are alive and re-
side in the state.

"Squatter" is hard at work on the
project of a railroad from Alpine to
Berkeley Springs. The county should
issue S25,00 of bonds as subscrip-
ton. 1t will pay the community,
even though the money should be
lost.
Residents are fixing up their lawns
and gardens and touching up their
homes in readiness for the coming
season, which we trust may be a
prosperous and happy one for them.
The people of Morgan county are
hospitable, kindly and industrious,
and deserve a generous response and
friendly assistance in obtaining a
railroad connection with the b. &
O. from their beautiful and healthy
summer resort to Alpine Station.
Push the matter. The INDEPENDENT
will help all it can.
Berkeley Spring can boast OF a
very intelligent and successful florist
