A Good Scheme.

J. W. Dougherty is experiment, ling in Chino valley with a view of obtaining the best methods for the Irrigation of large tract of land owned by him there. He purchas- ed two sections-l2S0 acres from |the Atlantic & Pacific railroad last fall. A large portion of it is very rich, all that is required to make it productive being water for irriga 'tion. He sunk a well l2 by 6 feet to a depth of twelve feet and obtained an abundant supply of water, his experiments now being to secure the cheapest method of get ting it on the land. He has a cen |trifugal pump with which, it being run by horsepower, he has thrown Ia steady stream of 375 gallons per minute without perceptibly lower ling the water in the well. He is now in correspondence with manu- lecturers of wind-mills, and will either procure one or use steam for raising the water. He has already
 constructed a large reservoir, and
 expects by another year to put a

A special to the Prescott Courier of May 18th, says: A gang of rob bers ambushed Paymaster Wham between Fort Grant and Fort Thomas yesterday; battle lasted 30 minutes, eight of the escort being wounded. Robbers obtainsd S29,- poo.
 The forts spoken of are in the southeastern part of Arizona, and about 300 miles from Prescott. They are, also, south of the Gila river. The fact that eight of the escort were wounded, proves pretty exclusively that the robbers were prepared to stop at nothing in order to get the large sum of money which they must have know was in possession of the IF.

ANOTHER KILLING.
TWO More Residents or Apache Coun-

TWO More Residents or Apache Coun- ty Killed for Horse Stealing.
 An associated press telegram < from Socorro, New Mexico, dated May 9th, gives an account of the killing Of two citizens of Apache flor horse stealing. A brother of Charles Rudd, one of the killed, is how a fugitive from the county, having killed sheep herder named 'McGraw, some time since, making his escape. The telegram says:
 Particulars have just been
 learned here of the killing of two horse thieves, George Powell and Charles Rudd, at a place on the, plains a few miles east of here. The, parties about two weeks ago, stole four fine horses from Mormons liv-' ing near SpringerviIle, Apache county, 4. T., and were pursued by. i've men, who overlook them, and in lively encounter the thieves were killed and the horses recover ed.
 About two years ago Powell gave evidence against one of the notori-, )us Clanton outlaws which Was the, means of sending Clanton to theI Yuma penitentiary for ten years. After two years Clanton was par ioncd by the governor, and return ed, and Powell was leaving the country to escape the vengeance of Clanton.
 Charles Rudd was son of Judge William Rulj, formerly county judge of Apache county. This was Rudd's first criminal act, but Pow ell was all old offender. They, were headed for Texas and had travelled 200 miles when overtaken I

i&k/>/z Z The agitation has in it no
l&ES/ ' moral or religious elements;
--' itissimply the oft recurring
question whether the United States district
court, having jurisdiction over the Indian
territory, shall be removed to Fort Glib
sen in the Cherokee nation, and take
with it the disbursement Of some
$500 600 a year for salaries, fees and
supplies, aud perhaps an equal amount
for lawyers fees. Nearly all that money is
paid out and spent in Fort Smith, and until
recently it furnished the main pabulum for
the curious citys growth and life. Almost
every sge who knows anything about Fort
Smith Thinks Of it as that place where they
hang so many people" and until recently
that was its chief distinction. Nov, however,
it is enjoying a great business boom, and the
population, which was 3, 500 III 1850, is now
set at "l4 900 and still rising"
1t viii be many q day, however, before
Fort Smith and the adjacent country get rid
of the sensational character they have, which
character has been fully earued-uot by the
Fort Smith people themselves, but by the
criminals brought there. The naked figures
are sensational viz, these: Forty mounted
marshals are always on the move arresting
offenders for this court; about 500 criminals
year are tried before it; Judge Parker has,
in fifteen years, disposed Of S47 murder cases
ana sentenced lG3 persons to death; - are
now waiting trial for murder; Il have been
hanged under Judge Parker's sentence and
axe to he hanged in 4 bunch on the 18th of
ABriL 1t is claimed Tor admitted, according
70 he standpoint of the speaker that Judge
Parker does more criminal business than any
other court in Christendom. And the philan-
thropist may indulge a trust that the claim
is cOgect,
FORT S3uTa ~ HISTORY.
Historically, Fort Smith is place of great
interest. The military post was established
in 1920 and was for fifty years the storm
center of the largest region Of lawlessness,
and the worst kind OF law!essness, in the
civilized world. First were the terrible In
dian wars, some marks of which may still be
seen on the old walls Then followed in sue
ceSsion the Texas fhbustering raids, the
deportation of the semi-civilized Indians from
Georgia and adjacent states, the independ-
ence of Texas and grand exodus Of outlaws
and bankrupts from the border west, the an
nexation of Texas and more Indian wars,
then the civil war and after it the SO called
"pacifcation" of the Indian territory. Some
idea of the nature of this specification" may
be gained from one incident: In April, 1872,
a Cherokee court was in session at Going
Snake court house when an ''unpleasautness"
arose between the friends and enemies of the
prisoner, who was a white citizen Of the ma
ton who had shot at a Cherokee and killed
his wife. When the smoke cleared away and
She court officials restored order seven corpseS
lay on the floor of the court room. Judge
ALBERT, the prisoners counsel, was shot dead
in his chair.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-04-09

scandalized by the condition on the frontier
and most vigorous measures were inaugu-
rated. The Indian territory is now the most
extensively governed part of the United
States, and people who believe that q vigor'
GUS enforcement of law would stop the use of
whisky might proftably study it.
The government is peculiar, and it Is rather
the most peculiar part of it which centers at
Fort Smith. First, each of the five nations
Greek, Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw and
Seminole-has its own government, republi-
can in form and rather despotic in practice.
But their jurisdiction is confined to Indian
citizens. The penalties are fearful. For horse
stealing, third offense, the Creeks kill by
shooting. For resisting an officer the penalty
may be death if the officer likes For selling
whisky, or even concealing or importing it,
long terms Of imprisonment are prescribed
Over all this a sort of protectorate by United
States troops and agents prevails. But all
offenses by or against white men or negroes
not Indian citizens must be tried by the
United States district court at Fort Smith
and these are the really criminal classes
the Migrants of the territory, the intruders,
the fugitives from adjacent states.
Now add that the Federal laws are still
more stringent against the sale of whisky to
Indians than are the laws of the nations"
and that the territory is constantly secured
by marshals, who receive large rewards for
capturing whisky, and it will be plain that
the Indian territory has more prohibition to
the square mile than any other region in the
world. The Judgment of the Fort Smith
court may be accepted as q comment on the
success of such measures; it is to the effect
that most of the crime is due to "the free use
of intoxicating liquors." but that, without
the court and the stringent laws, 'crime
would run rampant over the territory"
THE GRINDING OF THE FEDERAL COURT.
The Federal courts grinds without cessation
from one years end to the other The docket
IS never cleared. One term runs into the
next, and sessions are often held until mid
night There are no vacations Most of the
trials are for criminal ofFenses, ranging all
the way from selling liquor to murder, and
the punishment.is severe. For merely taking
a bottle of whisky into the territory men are
sent to prison for three months 4 horse
thief generally gets ten years in the peniten-
tiary, and hanging is almost invariably the
verdict in the case of q convicted murderer.
Rape is punished by death. Judge Parker,
personally pleasant and genial gentleman,
and not at all the stern magistrate one might
expect, s2ys that severe punishment is abso-
lutely necessary in order TO hold the crini-
nails Of the indian country in check, and as
so many escape through lack of evidence, he
almost invariably, il case Of conviction, pro-
nOunces the extreme sentence allowed by
law At the time he was assigned to the
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-04-09

Several companies are organized, the de
velopment is being pushed and Fort Smith
is building new residences and business blocks
at a bewildering rate. Congress granted
800, 900 for fine Federal building, and the
county is completing a magnificent court
house. And with all this the Fort Smith
ians protest vehemently against the re-
moval of the United States district court,
and have forwarded 4 remonstrance with an
imposing array of names. Just now the
court is closed for want of funds, and the
people insist that the appropriations have
always been insufficient When the new
buildings are completed and congress has
granted more money, they expect to run the
judicial mill more lively and dispose of over
100 persons now waiting trial. At present
the old court house is shown as q Gland
mark" for it was once the commandments
headquarters, and as such has been the Off
cial residence of jefferson Davis, Braxton
Bragg, Winfield Scott Hancock and others
somewhat less known to fame. Fort Smith
has generally stood by the Indians and de-
clined to join in the border cry for ''opening
the territory to civilization" but if the court
be moved to Fort Gibson, change of senti-
ment is likely Then the nations" will be
pressed on all sides, and the humanitarians of
the east will have hard pull to preserve the
Indians homes intact.
