THE INDIAN c;ocr.MIrTRE.

I
From the Minneapolis Tribune we
learn that the report of the Indian COM
mittee to the house the other day, con-
corning the opening Of the Sioux reser-
walton, created quite an excitement. The
report s'roasts'' the Northern Pacific and
Chicago & Northwestern Railroad COM
panies for opposing tile bill by every
known means. The reason for the OPP
position of these lines is self-evident.
The Northwestern controls the Hills trade
at present, its eastern competitors being
barred out by the great reserve. The
Northern Pacific has too many acres of
its own awaiting purchasers, and besides
desires to build this year to the Hills and
divide the spoils with the Northwestern
alone, and not half-dozen other lines.
That such opposition should be made
argues badly for the final success of the
measure.
A great many Of the large circle OF
acquaintance Of John FL. King, in the
Hills, although disliking to SO believe,
think he has been working more in the
interest of the above-named roads than
for the people Of this section. His pc
culiar actions when first sent down to
Washington in opposing the measures
and ideas of Senator Dawes and others,
as well as some later doings, have fast
ened in the minds Of the people some
very disagreeable ideas that, at present
twill not down. nor will they until the
reservation has been declared open by

SAMUEL ROY.

Perhaps the death that produced the
greatest shock among larger circle of
acquaintance throughout this section of
the country was the demise of Samuel
Roy of Lead City, which occurred in the
above-named town on Friday night, Jan
uary 4, at IL: 80 o'clock.
Mr.. Roy had been i'll for quite while
from an attack Of pneumonia and at one
time was slowly convalescing, but de-
spite the efforts of one Of the ablest ply
sicians in the west, he suffered relapse,
from the effects of which he never rallied.
No man in the Hills stood higher in the
estimation of the people than Mr.. Roy.
He had occupied high positions in polit-
ical affairs in this county, and was one of
most prominent Masons in the territory.
He was the first. grand commander of
the Knights Templar of this territory,
and at the time of his death was master
of his local lodge. He was square as a
die and popular with the masses. Quiet,
unobtrusive, he never pushed himself to
the front or made himself conspicuous,
but at the same time he was possessed of
determination and tenacity Of purpose
rarely seen in the average man. He was
a stalwart republican and hard laborer
for his party, occupying the position
during the last campaign-of chairman
Of the county central committee. On the
best Of authority it is stated that he was
to have been the next postmaster of Lead
City under the Harrison regime.
In his death Lead City lost an estima.
BILE citizen; the Hills strong and pro-
gressiye man; the republican party a
stafWart of the stalwarts, and the great
Masonic fraternity leading light.
He was buried under the auspices OF
the Knights Templar of the Hills on
Monday afternoon. His age was 40
years, IL months and 10 days. May he
rest in peace.

WASHINGTON, November 81 Attorney
General Miller has received long report
from the United States Marshal of the
Northern District of Texas regarding
the difficulty OF administering the Fed
eral laws in consequence OF the feeling
of hostility on the part of certain State
officials. The trouble arose from the
steps taken by the Federal officers for
the protection of the four Marlowe
brothers, held as Government witnesses.
A portion OF the community became ex-
asperated at these men and attempted to
wreek summary vengeance upon them.
AS the jail at Graham is not secure the
Federal officers started to remove them
to safer place. They had not proceeded
far when attacked by the mob. Two Of
the Marlowes were killed on the first on
slaught, when the other two wrested
knives from their assailants, amputated
the feet of their dead brothers to whom
they were manacled, and fed to farm
house, where they held the mob at bay

mob were killed and number wounded.
Among those who have been indicted
for completely in this attack on Govern
ment prisoners, are two Constables, the
Sheriff. q Deputy Sheriff, the County At
torney and son of the County Judge.
The District Attorney says if the pro-
cesses OF the courts OF the State are prog
tituted to shield from prosecution those
who in this manner defy the laws of the
United States, respect for such processes
must cease. The municipal government
of Young county not only fails to provide
suitable jail for the use Of the United
States Court, but its officers are In violent
antagonism thereto. He does not see
how they can avoid tho necessity OF

leader, and if that should prove to
be the case, then will this astonishing
revolution be emphatically an anomaly
in The history Of the mutations Of notable
governments. According to all we have
read from the best informed sources,
none Of the men whose names have APP
peared conspicuously as leaders of this
revolution are considered the best repre-
sentative men OF Brazil for intellectual
eminence and astute craftsmanship,
vet it must be confessed that go far
they have done their work in q
very thorough and mastery man
ner. They have shown themselves
fit to lead revolution successfully
through its FIRST stages. Are they quail
flied to establish a government on the
basis of republican principles that will
meet with the views of the great mass Of
the people of Brazil? This is the diff
cult task that will try the timbre OF their
qualities for the highest order Of intel

So FAR the revolution in Brazil has
been complete success. Without the
shedding Of drop of blood, sn Imperial
Government that has lasted since 1922
was quietly wiped out and q Republic de-
clared in its stead. The reigning mon
arch, who was a wise and liberal ruler,
and against whom not single objection
has been raised, succumbed to the inev-
table, and he and his family were de.
ported after the Provisional Government
had settled upon him liberal annuity.
To all appearances the Republic Of Brazil
has come to stay; but the leaders OF the
revolution will be called upon to exer.
cise the tremendous responsibilities they
have assumed with extreme care and
wisdom to steer the country safely
through the difficulties that may arise
from factional and sectional jealousies.

MORE GOOD NEWS.
Rock Island and Santa Fe
Combine.
A MOST IMPORTANT UNIOF
A New Traffic Agreement That Will
Greatly Benefit Southern
California.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, November 21.--It came to
light today that an important traffic
agreement has been made by the Rock
Island and Santa Fe routes for the hand
ling OF through traffic between Chicago
and all points on the Pacific Coast.
Dodge City, Kansas, is made the junction
point. By this arrangement q line
shorter than any other from this city to
all California points south OF Los Angeles
is created, while the distance to San
Francisco is but 222 miles greater than
via the Union Pacific. The route has
the advantage of being 80 far south
that it will never be blocked with snow,
and during the winter months through
trains are expected to be able to make g
better average than those on the more
northerly routes. The contract is for u
long term Of years, and is even stronger
than that of the Union Pacific and North
western. The agreement goes into oper-
alton Immediately, so far as freight tra ffic
is concerned, and through passen ger
service will be established as soon ss the
necessary arrangements can be made.
The final details of the arrangement
were finished late this afternoon, and the
contract duly signed by the proper eff
GERS Of the interested companies. By the
terms of the contract, the Rock Island
aud Atchison bind themselves to the
operation of q through line, to be known
as the Rock Island and Santa Fe route.
The agreement provides for the handling
OF all freight in through cars, snd on
through bills when the traffic originates
cost of the Missouri river or on the Pacific
Slope.
The route from Albuquerque will be
over the Atlantic and Pacific division of
the Santa Fe to Mojave, and therce over
the Southern Pacific to San Francisco.
The Southern Pacific is powerless to
prevent the scheme, owing to the per.
petual contract of the Atlantic and Pa
citic for the use of The Southern Pacific
tracks.
The agreement between the Atchiscn
and Rock Island provides that each ROAD
| shall give preference to the other in the
| interchange OF business, no matter what
future alliances may be made by either.
| The signing Of the contract YVES delayed
several days in order that perfect IN
Outstanding might be reached on this
point. The Santa Fe psople would moi
sign until President Cable promised that
whatever treaty might be made with The
Colorado Midland, the Rock LELAND
would give the Atchison car for car or
transcontinental business.
The Rock Island and Atchison ar,
strong competitors between Chicago an(
the Missouri river, and also betwee,

does not affect their relations in this re
spect, except that it binds them to har

THE conviction Of Pima Of manslaugh-

umph OF the law of which We confess we
do not feel proud. Both men were In.
dams but one remove from the tribal
state. They had both been in Santa
Monica, and both had drank freely. Piha
started for home, riding one horse and
leading another. Martinez followed,
and when they reached the mouth
of Santa Monica cahon, he renewed
quarrel of old standing with
Pima. Martinez used a knife; Pima
jumped from his horse and seized a
piece Of wood. In the me'es he got the
best OF Martinez and pounded him to
death. 1t was savage duel, with the
advantage of arms on the part of Mar.
tinez. Technically, under the law, Piha
should have run away from Martinez.
But, not having studied Blackstone or
the codes, he met his enemy in mortal
combat and got awsy with him. Let us
tell the truth: II Pins had been white
man and had friends, no jury could have
been found that would have convicted
him.
