tIle JuuSe reIuSlng 10 permit any leS- timony to be heard as to the prior knowledge of the existence of the mine. When it was sought to intro duce any testimony of that kind, Judge Wright would turn to Burgess and ask if he objected, and on being answered in the affirmative, would an nounce that the objection was sus- tained.
 The charges referred to and many others were filed with the Department of Justice some time ago, and Wright was summoned to Washington to an swer them. He telegraphed to Judge Baldwin at Logansport, this state : "They are after me Go to Washing ton and fix things" Baldwin did go to Washington, and succeeded in fix ing things for the time Recently Hon. H. c. Gooding, of this state, was appointed chief justice in place of Wright, removed, but up to the pres ent time Baldwin has succeeded in hanging the nomination up in the Senate. The May term of the court is soon to be held, and the citizens are very anxious that the new chief jus tice shall be installed before that time, and have sent delegation to Wash ington to urge MT. Gooding's confirm | ation.
 Not long after President Harrison went into office, Samuel Hawk, of West Virginia, was appointed special agent of the land office, and sent to Arizona to investigate certain alleged fraudulent entries of land in that ter ritory. Among others he got after was the Henry Tuning referred to. He gathered up mass of testimony showing that frauds had systematically been perpetrated and false oaths by the score taken. He forwarded his report to Washington, and there was an appearance of trouble ahead for the gang. Among the lawyers of Prescott are Eggers and Brown They were retained by the members of the gang The evidence was dead against them and unless they could get it suppressed by some means there would be live. ly turning over of things around Pres colt.
 The case was desperate and demand ed desperate measures, so Eggers and Brown conceived the idea of forcing Hawk to sign paper admitting that he had procured perjured and false testimony on which to base his report One night they entered the room of Mir. Hawk while he was quietly read ing, and presented their revolvers al I his hna1 or1 1nSaonIoI l., ,. t,,- to the paper which they had prepared He parleyed with them a moment un til he could get his hand upon knife lying on the table when, springing to his feet, he slashed the two attorneys in right lively style, until they dropp ed their revolvers and fled. The irate agent seized the revolvers thus dropp ed and opened fusilade on his retreat ing assailants.
 Eggers and Brown are two of the most intimate of Judge Wright'i friends and up to the present nothing has been done toward punishing then for their villainous assault on a gov ernment official, and citizens say noth ing will be done until he s removed
 1no ueleSdtlOH or AT1ZOn1dnS WHO art on their way to Washington to urg, the prompt confirmation of MT. Good ing, tell many other stories of the do ings in the territory of Judge Wrigh and the Wabash Cattle Company They say it is thoroughly understood
 there that Judge Baldwin practical, owns the Judge and all the late demo cratic officials, and that his power il
 the territory is unlimited.
 They charge that never has ther been so corrupt corporation in tn west as the cattle company, and tha if matters are thoroughly investigates they will be compelled to disgorg most of their rich holdings. Until new chief justice is installed nothin can be done towards breaking tn power of the company, and they wi continue to rule everything as the 7 please.
 In the light of the expose of affair [ in Arizona, the farmers of Indiana wi l not be very proud of the man who ha
 set himself up as their champion. W 1T q
