Prospector: visit to the old grave
yard in which those who died IN the early
days of Tombstone were buried, reveals
some strange peculiarities. Between $50
and 200 graves are there, large majority
of which are unmarked by any sign that
would lead any one to know whether
man, woman or child lay beneath. Among
those that are marked Is one enclosed by a
neat fence of rustic design inside of which
slab is erected on which is inscribed
Sacred to the memory of William Clan
ton who was murdered October 26, 1881,
aged 10 years" This brings one back to
the early days in Tombstone when the
reign of terror existed in Cochise county.
Nearly all -of those buried there are be.
tween the ages OF 10 and 35 years, which
is suggestive of sudden deaths by accidents
or the victims of the ready revolver which
IN those days was a mans bible.
1t will be remembered that the counties
adjacent to the San Carlos reservation
we're greatly exercised because of the Uni
ted States supreme court decided that
trials of indians devolyed upon counties in
which crimes were committed and it was
inferred thattc}sts wouf 9ecessarsly be
taxed upon the counties where such trials
were had, but now we are rejoiced to
know from District Attorney McCabe that
the costs, Notwithstanding the territories
are given Jurisdiction, are paid by the
United States. He referred us to section II
Of the act of Congress, March 2d, 1889,
which provides that the costs of the trials
should be audited and paid IN like manner
as criminal cases in the courts of the Unit
ed States.-Siver Bclt.
Florence Enterprise; Judging from the
newspaper comments spon the session
laws of New Mexico, Just out of press, it
is inferred that they comprise a sort of le-
gal ritual that Is totally unintelligible to
all but the initiated and there is no one ca
pable of interpreting it, A key to the
puzzle is greatly needed until Webster's
unabridged can provide a special glossary
to meet the emergency.
