The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1885-11-19

Garter COun-Circuit Court at
Elizabethton closed last Thursday.
No civil cases were tried. The trial
OF Butler Frazier resulted in a failure
OF the State to make out a case against
him. Frazier killed young man
named Hensley, with a hoe, on Stony
Creek, about two years ago. But one
witness saw the fatal blow, and when
he came upon the stand he swore
that "Hensley was advancing on Fra
zier with a rock in his hand and
swearing that he would kill him any.
how, and that Frazier retreated sever
al steps and picked up hoe and as
Hensley came up struck him in the
head" OF course this made u clear
case Of self-defence and the prosecu-
ton gave up the case. This witness
gave very different evidence from
this before the Coroner, but as he was
States witness the State could not
impeach him.

Yesterday after leaving Greeley, Con-
ductor Hinkley, of the Denver train
found one of the car closets locked. Upon
investigating he discovered hat a boy, a
pea-nutter from the Rio Graude railroad,
was in the closet stealing a ride. and with
hun a young girl about IA years old. The
conductor brought them out and banked"
them at Pierce's station, about thirty
miles from Denver. They begged hard
to be taken to Cheyenne but Hinkley
couldn't see it. The boy very calamity
plead for the girl, saying that he wouldn' I
mind walking the remainder of the way,
but Huxley said he thought it a pity &c
part them. The girl was a soiled dove
and the boy had been living on her vile

To the Editor Of THE LEADE
May be we didn't have a lively, inter
esting and attractive meeting of our so.
ciety last evening. Our hall was tastefully
furnished during the week with a carpet
and other fixtures. Things looked quite
different when the meeting was called to
order last night. The first feature of the
programme was a defamation, The
Bridge" a selectio on frem Longfellow, by
Mr.. NJ. Teernes, which was Of itself an
evenings entertainment for an audience.
1t was then decided to dispense with the
programme Of literary exercises in order
to take up a question for debate which
was continued from our last meeting. AT
this iuncture a committee was appointed
to wait upon the young ladies' who were
in the lower hall practicing the flag drill,
and extend to them an invitation to join
US. They agreeably accepted, tothe mum
Der of about twenty, and a very nice
audience they made. This is where the
attractive part comes in. The question
for debate was then called, Resolved that
Gen. Grant was a greater man than Abra-
ham Lincoln" Mr.. w. T. Winters was
first, on the affirmative. Mr.. Winters
surprised us all. He defended and
eulogized the dead hero in an able man
ner. Mr.. Teernes and Mr.. j. G. Costello
also talked on the Affirmative, the latter
making what was regarded as the best
argument Of the debate. But it wouldn't
do. Abraham Lincoln had too many
able defenders to loose. Mr.. Snyder,
leading in the negative followed by Rev.
j. T. Nugent and Mr.. John Smith,
made such eulogistic speeches in favor Of
the martyred statesman as to get the de-
cision in their favor. So, after two
nights debate, our society has decided
hat Lincoln was the greater man Of the
two. We were favored with piano solos
by several OF the young ladies' after adj
journmeat.

We have been kindly furnished by our
old friend, ]. r. Whitehead, a copy of a
clause in the Indian appropriation bill
passed by the last session of congress,
which is encouraging to those of our citi-
zens who have suffered losses at the hands
of ~depredaiing Indians. The following is
the portion of the act alluded to.
For the investigation of certain Indian
depreciation claims, $4,000; and in ex-
pending said sum the secretary of the
interior shall cause a complete list of all
claims heretofore filed in the interior de-
partment and which have been approved
in whole or in part and now remain
paid, and also all such claims as are pend
ing but not yet examined, on behalf Of
citizens Of the United States on account
Of depredations committed, chargeable
against any tribe Of Indians by reason of
any treaty between such tribe and the
United States, including the name and
address of the claimants, the date OF the
alleged d%epredations, by what tribe com
mitted, the date of examination and
approval, with a reference to the date
and clause of the treaty creating the
obligation for payment, to be made
and presented to congress at its next regu-
lar session; and the secretary is authorized
and empowered, before making such re-
port, to u such additional investigation
to be made and such further testimony to
be taken as he may deem necessary to
enable him to determine the kind and
value of all property damaged or destroyed
by reason of the %depredations aforesaid,
and by what tribe such depredations were
committed; and his report shall include
his determination upon each claim,
together with the names and residences of
witnesses and the testimony of each, and
also what funds are now existing or to be
derived by reason of treaty or other obi
CATION out or which the same should be
paid"
Act of March 3, 1885,
VI hope that congress will provide for
the payment of all of this class of claims
that may be legally established. Thcr'
can be no doubt in the minds of those
familiar with the history Of the hardships
and privations endured by the pioneers
of our border states and territories, that
in n~umberless instances the hostile lnli-
ans, without privation, and only actuated
by the desire for plumber, have mereilessly
robbed, and in many cases killed molten
sive and peaceable citizens. These ont
RACES have never been atoned for or any
compensation received by the needy suf-
ferers in one case in a hundred that
occurred in the settlement Of our terrific.
RES and border states. We hope that
justice will be delayed no longer to this
worthy class Of our citizens.

A SUGGESTIVE A c
clipped from the Laramie boomerang
with Alterations TO At the Facts.

win Alterations TO ut the Facts.
There is one fact to be noted By those
who choose to watch the hotel registers in
this city, and that is the constantly in
c~reasing arrivals in this city. men who
evidently come to watch the progress. of
events. here and look into the extent Of
the advantages Cheyenne offers as n per
manent location. They come by the
hundred daily, men from Laramie and
Denver. who are anxious to strike a real
live place and escape the dull, monoton-
Gus routine of places once beautiful but
now practically dead; men who want to
get into a country where their money is
worth something and where they can stay
and take care of their property with the
pleasure that comes from seeing every
thing growing and thriving about them
with the yigor of youth and not the de-
creptitude of old age. Not only Laramie
and Denver people are Hocking in, how
ever, but from all the cities Of the East
and from the island beyond the seas they
come. There is not a day that one can
not find upon the register of a single
hotel in this city, the names Of men from
all parts of America and from the old
country. Some Of them come prepared
to stay and Others linger, grow fascinated
and go home resolved to come here as soon
as they can rid themselves of ''entangling
alliances. In short. Cheyenne has be-
CONF the center of attraction for all, and
the Magic City is sending forth CLEANS OF
light and hope as dazzling and from a
source as pure and true as those which
shine from the bosom Of the gorgeous
Koh-i-nor.
