Of Interest to Worlds Fair People,
Prescott, Aug. 17th, 1891.

Prescott, Aug. 17th, 1891.
 Editor Herald-Allow me to say to the women of Apache county, through your excellent paper, that in compliance with suggestion of the Executive Committee of the Ma tional Board of Lady Managers of the Worlds Columbian Exposition, which is to meet in the city of Chi cago on the 1st, of May 1893, and end October 30th, 1893, it has been deemed proper to urge upon all women, especially wage earners, the necessity of adopting some syste- matic plan of laying aside small sum of money each week, in order that by the year 1893 a sufficient amount may be saved, by each, to enable her to visit the Columbian Exposition.
 Cheap fares will be secured from every railroad in the United States. Cheap and comfortable boarding places in Chicago will be obtained for those who wish to secure such, a Woman's Bureau of Information will be organized for this express pnrpose, and the best possible fa- cilitles will be furnished for seeing the most, at the least possible ex- pense; thus putting it within the power of almost all indutrious per sons to spend, at least, a few days at the great Fair.
 Some of the States and Terri tories are urging their teachers to set aside an hour or more each week, during the pendency of the Fair, for special talks on American History, the voyages of Columbus, Queen IsabellA's interest in hls ex- D petitions, etc., in order that the young and rising generation may have an intelligent appreciation of the grandeur and magnifcence, as we'll as the significance of this, the greatest exhibition of the worlds progress that has ever been held or attempted, in this or any other country. Finding it impossible to visit all portions of my district l take the liberty of asking you to publish this communication, and of solicitating your friendly inter- est and cooperation in this great work. MRS. T. J. BUTLER. Lady Manager for Northern Ariz.

Special Agent Hawks Methods.

Several months since J. w. Clay sued the K. c. NJ. & NJ. Go. for the possession of certain land in Yavapai County, sold to the Co. by one Rupert, on which it is claimed that there was valuable mine, called the Silver King.
 Hawk, at the instance of the Co.,, under the guise of his official posi- ton, sought to debauch Rupert and induce him to certify favora- bly, to the Go. Went so far as to tsll him that his attorneys would sell him out, etc. Later on, when called to account for his conduct by those attorneys, had fight with them.
 Clay claimed to have a patent to the land in question, eight or ten years old easily defeated to the Go. in the suit, and the Go. appealed to the Terr. Sup. Court.
 After the result of the case was known, and not before, Hawk, as special agent, reported officially to the Government that the patent to the land, held by Clay, was obtain ed by fraud, and ought to be can celled by the Government.
 Owing to Hawks report and the cooperation of the K. c. NJ. & NJ. Co, the Government did institute
The St. Johns herald., 1891-08-27

proceedings against Clay and oth- CTS in the United States Court at Prescott to cancel the patent be- canse of the alleged fraud perpe- trated in obtaining it. and special ly employed E, NJ. Sanford, who had been the Co.'s attorney in the other litigation, to act as assistant to the us Attorney in represent ing the Government in this case.
 The suit of the Government to cancel this alleged fraudulent pat ent is now pending; Sanford is the Governments representative Smith is the president of the Co.,; Hawk the special agent of the Government, at whose instance the efforts to can eel the patent has been made, and whose sworn duty it is to see that the patent, if fraudulent, be annulled, and that the land, and mine, if there Is one, revert, not to the Co.,, not to Clay, but to the United States it's lawful, and only owner.
 Notwithstanding this situation, Smith approached Clay, and those with him, and said, I will pay you so much money for deed to this property, and will then stop this litigation. Sanford, special United States Attorney, makes the same proposition to Clay and his associates.
 Does this mean anything less than Hawk and Sanford, as repre- sentatives of the Government, are using the name and great power of the United States to defeat the rights of one citizen for the benefit of another? And if this is true, does it comport with fair and con scientious discharge of a public duty by those men?
 And if this is not true, does it not strongly suggest, that for some improper consideration, Hawk loaned himself and his position to the purposes of this Co.,?
 We submit these facts to a dis eliminating public for its impartial judgement, and earnestly ask tn e Lord and the Administration that Arizona be relieved from United States Special Agents of the Gener- al Land Office.

home and little ones, and from their business, under attachment, without allowing them time to get even change of linen, some Nor mon women and men, and keeping them there for two weeks, all for nothing, except in the hope that Morrison's political hatred of these people might be gratiied.
 All of this, mark you, by our ser- wants, under the guise of the law, Though the jury was packed for the purpose, no indictment was found.
 The Prescott community was so shocked and outraged at the United States Attorneys methods, that, to- wards the close, he could not con- vict free ''nigger" of selling whis- ky to an Indian, though he tried it twice.
 4. Though the Government en- ployed Sanford as special counsel to aid Wilson in the prosecution of Tuning, and the trial of two impor- tant civil cases, yet, in the latter, though they had months to get ready, they shirked the fight, and in the former, though Tuning and his witnesses were there for three weeks, they tried to dodge, and when the Judge forced them to try, they ignominiously and pusillani mously fled; abandoned the prose cution, and yet this is the ease in which little Gooding required of Tuning $12.500 bond, being twice and one half times as great as any bond ever before required by that Court of any man.
 ,. It is an open secret on the streets of Prescott that the expla- nation of the United States Attor- ney's zeal in stirring up the cess pools of the communities of this district was the fee which he re- ceived for writing indictments. It is notorious fact that he tried to try but one case of that kind, and in that, as usual, was incontestibly whipped out. Being only tempo rary appointment, he proposed to take no chances, but to lap up the cream and leave the skinned milk -the work and odium of trials to lis successors.
 The first weeks of the court the temple of justice was lined with p: ostitutes and pimps-the latter weeks of the term the plaza was filled with lousy Indians and char acterless whitemen-all the willing creatures of the United States At torney's vindictive caprice.
 Ignorance of the law and arbi- trary malignity were the most strik ing characteristics of every official act of the United States Attorneys office during the entire term. There was but one saving feature of the whole Court, and that was, upon the bench, we fortunately had a learned, impartial and decent gen tleman, and while he had no power to control the tyrannical and dis graceful conduct of Attorney and Marshal, outside of the court room, yet, when a man was placed upon trial before him, he fearlessly saw to it, that the trial was conducted in seemly and fair manner, and that the accused enjoyed fully all of his rights under our benefcent constitution and laws.
