THE BEST SOCIAL CRITICISM

The best social criticism must always

ledge Human nature is, in sense,
the same everywhere; yet the ways,

in different circles as in various

Sheriff ]. Fryer, of Pinal county, and
small detachment of territorial militia.
assisted by company of colored U. s.
soldiers from San Carlos, arrived at
Globe, A. T., on the oath en- route to
the Pinal county Jail. They had in
charge George Appsy of Arivapai cafion,
for murder, and two Indians, Chiquito
and Tonic (B. 60), charged with the
murder of Sheriff Reynolds and w. A.
Holmes last November.
When the officers and soldiers were
ready to proceed with their prisoners at
least 200 people assembled to see them
off, and loudly advocated lynchlaw.
Old Sailor George, as Appsy is called
at Globe, had in his employ on his milk
and vegetable ranch as a hired hand, a
fellow of whom nothing is known, not
even his name; as he was never adj
dressed except as ANDY" Old George
was in debt to him to a considerable
amount for wages due for labor, and he
killed Andy to get out of paying him for
his work.
The discovery of the murder was
purely accidental. Two Indian scouts,
Rowdy and another one, were looking
for the Kid, when they saw a bright
light in the distance and thought per-
haps it might be him, though they knew
it was near Old Georges ranch. They
cautiously made for the fire, and when
they got there found Old George all alone
piling wood on big fire. The smell of
burning human flesh was thick in the
air. The Indians frequently cremate
their dead, and of course are familiar
with the odors of burning human flesh.
So when Rowdy accosted Old George and
asked him what he was doing, he an
swered:
Estoy quemando un coche." Il am
burning pig.) Rowdy told him that it
was not true. Going to the fire he saw
mans feet sticking out of the embers,
to one side. George then weakened and
acknowledged the killing, but begged
the Indians not to say anything about it
and he would give them all the cattle
they wanted at any time. On examina-
ton the skull, after removing as much
of the body as they could, showed bull
let hole entering from behind. George
made no denial of the killing, but told
several different stories of the circum-
stance. He says the man was riding
from him on a mule and he shot him
with Winchester rife, taking after
wards from the body $3.50.
George Appsy is deserter from the
English navy, who is well known in Ar
iona. He is about 60 years old and some
what lame when he walks, but is stout
and vigorous. His ranch is situated in a
lonely place in the mountains, On a
tributary of the Arivapai river and is
very difficult to reach, there being only
one accessible route. 1t is surrounded
by steep and high mountains, and but
few people ever go that way. George is
considered wealthy, being the owner of
over 1000 fine cattle. If the Indians
had not happened along just when they
did no one would have been the wiser,
for the death Ct poor Andy.

quarter of an hour before she had been
out On horseback and feeling very jolly.
She had a perfect arsenal of pistols in
her trunk. Some months before she had
in some way been connected with the
mysterious death of young Canadian
who was in love with her, and although
some people claimed that she had shot
him, the true facts were never discOv-
cred. She was beautiful woman, and
although the wound in her temple was
small, and did not disfgure her in the
least, the sight of this corpse caused a
strong impression upon those who be-
held it, owing to the unexplained mys-
terry"
Zone of the strangest corpses we ever
brought to town was that of an I'M
known man who was found in an Ana
helm vineyard. Although he laid not
thirty feet from the road, his corpse re-
manned in the same place for over two
months before it was discovered
by grape pickers. The body was
mummified. The skin had assumed
the color of old parchment,
and was almost transparent, and
chung closely to the bones, which could
be counted, and the flesh had
been completely eaten out of the
body by the kind of larvae
who prey on putrescent animal matter"
''There was that Longenecker too,
Pennsylvania who robbed an old lady
out there of $4,000 and spent it while
fugitive. He came to Los Angeles
broke, bought some poison which he
mixed with whisky and went out to die
on high hill in front of the Sycamore
grove in the Arroyo Seco. What there
was found of him couple of weeks after
ward did not fill small sized gunny sack.
He had been devoured by wild cats,
coyotes and kites, and his skull, looking
as clean as cabinet anatomy specimen,
was found in deep ravine, where the
wild cats used it to play ball with.
This was the punishment for his in
gratitude"
"Coroners in their travels have
sometimes funny adventures. A
we'll known physician of this city, while
holding the office, one time set out late
in the evening with the undertaker's
wagon, containing coffin, to hold an
inquest in the country. The party got
lost on the plain and had to camp.
The coroner, as the night was cold, pre-
empted on the coffin in which he slept,
with the cover so placed as to give him air,
quite comfortably until morning, while
the undertaken shivered unsheltered till
daylight in the wagon"
$50 you see that coroner's life is not
quite so comfortable a position as it
looks, butt he has to see more unpleas-
ant things than the coroner's juror and
see them oftener, he has the satisfaction
of getting good pay, while the juror gets

A LITTLE GIRLS PLEA.
She Protests Against the Check Rein
and Overdriving.

The little girl who wrote the following
letter has a good heart and has written
her plea for the horse so well that it may
do some good to have it published.
EDITORS HERALD.--I am little girl and
l love all the horses, the mules and the
Shetland ponies. 1t grieves me very
much to see cruel men beat and abuse
them. l am going to tell the editor of
the HERALD what horse told me about
horse life, and want him to print it in
his paper, so that all the boys may read
it. The horse said, 1--WE do all the
work, work all day long, and at night
we get little grain and some hay, and
sometimes, when the day is hot, we do
not get water enough. and some of our
drivers are cruel, and beat and abuse us.
l think town horses have the hardest
time; they are driven to the places of
business. and tied to post, or ring in
the sidewalk and left with the check
rein on for two or three hours at time,
No matter how hot it is, or how bad
the flies are, there we have to stand,
with our heads held back in an I'M
natural position. If there is any one
that has any doubts about our necks
getting, oh 80 tired, just let me check
him up, and tie him up to a post, for
one hour, and do not think he will
ever let his horse stand without uncheck-
ing him. Some times kind.lady comes
along and unchecks us. | think that
she knows that we thank her, by the
way we stretch our necks, and look at
her. And then how strange it is, that
we are driven to church every Sunday,
and tied with the cruel check on, and
stand there until all the long prayers
are said, and then the sermon, and after
that the hand shaking, and the usual
greetings. Why don't some good Christ
ian pray to God, to uncheck
all the horses and make man
kind understand, that it is one
of the greatest cruelties practiced on
the horse. And it is all done to make
him look stylish.
Zone day my master drank too much
beer. When he got into the saddle he
could hardly sit up; he would jerk on
the rein to make me go, and when
would start off he would jerk me back
so violently that it cut my mouth every
time. This he kept up until we got al
most to Eighth street, then he tumbled
off, and l stood by and looked at him
and was glad when they said he was not
hurt, for, you know, the Bible says
| Love thy enemies
After that l joined the prohibition
church, and if the horses could vote
they would vote to have all the saloons
closed on Sunday.
Now we horses do not like Santa
Monica. A young man will take his
girl there on Sunday; he will give hel
the lines and while he says sweet things
to her, how she will make us go. l dc
not think girls know just how fast they
are driving. If we slacken little, just
a little to get breath, she applies the
whip, jerks the rein and urges us on
and have heard the stable man on
Broadway say that we were good fol-
nothing for week, after trip to Santa
Monica.
So you see girls are hard drivers
too. Here comes my master to harness
me, 20 haul sand up Sixth street, SO l
will have to go, but will tell you more
about horses some other time. E.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1890-04-01
J cATcHEM AND cHEATEM.

The farmers of Missouri and Kansas
are forming Alliances all over both
States, and "whereasing" and "reso-
Iuting" at a terrible rate. What do
the politicians care for such things,
30 long as they a take them by the
nose and lead them up to the polls
and vote them, like Sc many sheep to
the slaughter pen? That is what
they have been doing ever since the
war, and will continue to do until the
farmers are ground down closer and
closer, until the limit of human endur-
ance is reached; and broken in spirit,
they will lie down in abject poverty
and want.
You ask why such things are so ?
Because the politicians will appear be-
fore the next election, make all man
ner of promises and pledges, arouse
all of the old animosities engendered
by the war, appeal to the prejudices
of men and beg them to stick to the
"Grand Old party" and-and elect
them to ofice.-Cor. Kansas City In
