One Of the points brought out in the court
was that long before and after Walker had
been adjudged insane, he frequently talked
to his friends Of "his Indian maiden" who.
he said, was in possession OF the Mormons.
He declared that he intended to educate and
make a lady Of Juana. When IN the GUS
tody Of his guardians in Los Angeles he
boosted that, notwithstanding his exile
from Arizona, he was constantly In COM
munication with the territories through his
Indian maiden, who kept him informed as
to what his brothers were doing with his
mining property.
This evidence was offered for the purpose
OF proving hElluoination and that the de-
ceased had been afflicted with paresis and
for the purpose Of overcoming the presump.
tion from the testimony of the plaintiff that
she and Walker had been betrothed since
1856. Much other evidence was offered
concerning Walkers connection with the
Pimas. that his insanity might be estab-
lished.
The difficulty under which the plaintiff
seemed to labor was a want of information
concerning Walkers life among the Indians.
1t was true that much that ne had said APP
peared to be the vagaries of an insane man.
If what he told was true there would nee
essarily be nothing TO establish his insanity
But the plaintiff was not aware that his

WHY WE VIII WIN.

While Judge Clark's campaign may
not have the advantages that give
strength and power to the administra.
tons forces, it still has some elements
about it that make foeman worthy
of any steel, Governor Hogg is in
possession of the fortress. He is
intrenched and his fighting forces are
numerous, but to a certain extent
these are like the mercenary forces of
an army, whose interest has been pur-
chased. The million dollar patronage
which he has dispensed, is the hold
he has upon them. In addition to
this, he has the advantage of having
the friendship and assistance in his
campaign of the chairman of the
Democracy of the state, but as an off
set to this, he has the most vulnerable
record that has ever been presented
to people for endorsement. In the
newspaper world, Judge Clark has the
advantage by large odds. He is sup
ported by nealy every daily in the

the fight is between progress
