 From Texas Siftings.

A rough-looking man, wearing big slouch hat, was seated opposite cler- ical-looking gentleman in car on 8 aansas railroad.
 Did 1 understand you to say to the conductor while ago that you were from Arizona?" asked the clerical-look- ing passenger.
 "Yes, stranger, I'm from Tomb stone, Arizony."
 "Ive beard that there is great deal of lawlessness there; that they hang a man almost every day"
 "They don't hang man reg'lar every day, but reckon it will average that. Some weeks they don't hang a man two or three days, but the next day they may hang five or six. It goes in slreaks."
 Dear me, why don't your Mayor stop it?"
 "He can't well do 1t. You see he was cleo, ed on the law and order plat form, and can't go back on 1t. Be sides he has hoss ranch of his own and the more hoss thieves is hung the safer he feels about his property. He l Is sorser conservative, you sec"
 "Does your city marshal make an effort to stop these lynchings?"
 Not much. You see he is in with the coroner, and gets a commission. The coroner gets $I0 for every inquest. They are both getting rich and haugh- ty."
 "These outrages should be ventilat- ed by the press. Why don't your To- cal press speak out?"
 Stranger, you tech me on sore spot. The press did speak out onct and onet only. l suggested editorial ly trial by jury in murder cases, ana my press and type are at the bottom of Dead Man's Greek, and I am flu gitive from justice I was editor O the Arizona Weekly Hooter and Peo ple's Palladium. was chased seven teen miles, and thar is standing re ward for my scalp offered by the gov ernor of Arizona.

Much sympathy has been expressed
with Horace III. Minor, who, on account

since the Indians first conveyed it to his
ancestors. The title has always passed

times of war prices, it is very hard, witt
the present low prices of everything
land included, not, sooner or later, tx

We clip from the Hartford Times :;
ssWells hall was not only packed, but
jammed at the entertainment given by
Prof w. w. Dayton. A committee of
three, II. p. Kilbourn, Charles G. Larkin
and Charles Il. Risley, were elected to
examine the cabinet and see that the pro-
fessor was securely tied. All the lead
ing tests given by mediums were allow
ed and yet the exhibition, for eleverness
and dexterity, excelled that of any given
by the leading mediums. In the slate
writing test, the slate was not even held
by the professor while the writing was
done. Ex-Constable J. A. Taft had a
pair of combination lock handouts. He
SEATED that, if allowed to put them on
and double lock them himself, he would
give any man 500 who could get out OF
them. This he did and yet the professor
easily freed both hands"
