The Cutting Case.

Ell PAso. Texas, July 3O.-The trial Of
Cutting is now in progress ut Paso del
Norte. It consists merely OF u joint exam
ination by the Prosecuting Attorney and
the Judge of Papers in the case. It is ex-
pected that h decision will be reached to-
night as the three days allotted for the
trial expires tomorrow. The Cutting
case has brought out the hitherto unknown
fact that the doctrine OF States right is
carried to it's extreme limits in Mexico.
The States authorities at Chihuahua will
brook no interference from the Federal ad-
ministration or even from President Daz
personally. They will not even listen to
friendly suggestions. AS matters now
stand Cutting is certain to be sentenced to
a long term OF imprisonment and he will BE-
carried to Chihuahua to serve out his
term. The people OF the border along the
Rio Grande are disgusted with the apathy
aud want Of National feeling on the part OF
the Washington administration.

est:
''The BUTTE DAILY MINER, ono OF the best

ing three OF his confederates behind to work
the racket in Portland as long as there was

way the iakir reached Butte one day ahead
OF the Mercury. and by representing blm-
self as the advance agent OF q large San
Francisco tea house he managed to secure
the insertion of his advertisement in The
MINER. That evening he hired q full brass
band to play in front OF his place, and the
result was q crowded house. Fortunately
for the citizens OF Butte, the Mercury. con-
tanning q half-column expose OF their lnfa-
nous swindle, found it's way into the MINER
Office that night, which resulted in the pub
fishers of that fearless journal republishing
the article in full. supplemented by 9 hall
column more. An hour after The MINER
had made its appearance upon the streets.
the tea Joint was closed and the enterpris-
ing fakir was looking for a conveyance to
leave town. In the same issue The MINER
proceeds at some length to define the duty
Of a newspaper and it's relations to the
community, fully sustaining the position
taken by the Mercury in exposing this gang
of thieves. The three fakirs who were left
behind to fleece the Portland people will
be very apt to remain in the county jail for
the next 100 days in default OF fine OF
5000 each which was imposed upon them
