The Kid and the Soldiers.

The United States and Mexican ln- ternational Boundary comm. .ssIons, now engaged in a survey Of the line between Mexico anu the United States, on Mon- day m wed their base of operations from CArIzaz ,lillo Springs, where they have encamped for some mOnths past, to San Bernardino, Arizona, the route taken being through he Guadalupe m0uDtaIns. It Is altogether likely that the two commissions will spend the greater part Of the winter at San Der nardino Owing to the recent murders and depredatlons by kid" and his band of ApacEes, the Mexican govern ment on Saturday sent detail of fifty cavalrymen from Las PolOmas to Cari- zalillo, to guard the commission on the march, and to remain with them until further orders, Lieutenant Bean and detail of twenty-five men from Fort Bowie will accompany the United States commission as far as San BernardinO, where permanent detail will be sta tionel with the commission. The op- erations of the commissions are now being conducted in the country ire quented by the reuegadeS Tn all their depredations, and the two governments are apparently taking every precautlon to protect them.-Deming Headlight.

Capture of Kids SnuaW.

About the 1st of November several horses were stolen ID the neighborhood of DudleyvllIe, one from W. A. Cunning ham, one belonging to Mrs. Martin and one from Joe Gibson. It is supposed that the thieves were Kid and his party. At any rate the horse stolen from Mr. Cunningham was found not very far away dead, having been kll'ed by being stabbed. On the eIght it was observed that some Indians who were threshing beans suddenly left their work and started in great haste for their camp. On investigation it was discovered that the Kid's squaw had come into the camp and the Indians were holding her pri soner. The ILuiaps sent a runner over 10 San Carlos, and a squad came over and took her back with them. The squw had evlde Itly bad hard trip as she was very tired and the horse ske rode was completely broken down. While being held prisoner she told who was the murderer of young Dobbie, in the Superstition mountains lGst spring. She said she stopped about mile away while the Kld went to the cabin ard killed the young man.-Trlbune.

The Kibbey Case.

When the Territorial grand jury was Impannellef, and before being sworn in, Frank c. Kibbey's counsel objected to one of the jurors and propounded var;- ous questions to him, tending to show t at he was di qualified to act as grand juror by reason of bias, and challenged him. District Attorney Jackson ob- jected to the challenge, contendlng that it had not been shown that the juror was incapacit8ted to act. The co0rt re- fused 10 allow ord sailow the challenge, stating f at because hs was the brother of the acc used he wou d pass up5n DO disputed question in which he w6s in- terested. Kibbey's counsel then chal- lenGed the entire jury. The court re- fuse ed to pass upon the question. The jury was then sworn in. Judge K bbey using the following language: The grand jury shall inquire into all public otfenses committed or triab!e within the county and present them by indict- ment." To ali these proceedings Kib6ey, by his counsel, excepted. On the ob- jection of District Attorney Jackson and Judge Barnes, Judge Kibbey refused to sign the bill of exceptions. Judge Kib- hey then stated that, by reason of being the brother of the accused, he declined to further act in the cas-, and asked the counsel what judge they preferred to hear the case. After consultation Henry c. GoOding, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Territory, WIS agreed upon, and be has been requested to preside at the trial.-Tribune.

NOBLEMEN IN SWITZERLAND.
Plenty of Titled PersOnages to Be Found
 fin the Little Republic.

BIenty or stfieu IerSOnaEeS to Be Found fin the Little Republic.
 A few years ago the question was
 asked: Docs nobility still exist in Switzerland?" And no one was able to answer it. Of all the thousands of Eng fish folk who haunt the Swiss hotels
 not one. it would seem, had inquired
 whether Rudolph von Erlach, whose equestrian statue they must have seen,
 has any living descendants; not one had
 ever heard of the Bernese nobility-a noblesse which holds itself so high that 1t thinks but slightly of the British legation. Yet from the Jura to the Lugane there is hardly a canton there is perhaps no canton-in which, according to Temple Bar, noble families are not to be found. Some of these. such as the Plantas and the BuOls of Graubunden, have turned their energy into modern channels and make their fortunes, like the Hausers or the Sell CTS. out of the English and the American tourist. Others, like the Von Allmen, have sunk into a number rank. But the greater part remain in Statu quo, still enjoying in the towns or in the country a social prestige that varies with their wealth and their intelligence. For, from the very nature of the case, all Swiss nobility is more or less ancient, and is therefore still venerable in re- public which has not yet cast off all reverence for historic tradition. The Nalais, for instance, contains a very ancient noblesSe. some of whom, as the de Sepibus and the de COcatrix. bear Latin names, whether or not they claim Roman descent. And a Roman descent assurcdly is claimed by the Bernese family of Lentulus, who affili- ate themselves to that most illuStriOus house of the Gems Cornelia. In a con- glOmerate nation like the Swiss the fountains of honor have been numer- Ous. Some of the nobility owe their distinctions to the empire or to the dukes q Austria: some to the dukes of Zahrrir~cn. ;Ee founderS of Berne and Friho,r.r: 8 mc to the dukes of Bur gun&y: ,5i2c. who were Hugucnots, to the kings of Fran cc, and some to the more modern ones even to the kings of Prussia.

.KIBBBY'S TRIAL.
Frank Kibbey Appears Be- fore his Brother, the
 Judge
Who Refused to try the Case, and Chief Justice Cooling is
 Agreed Upon.

Judge Barnes and associate council ! appeared in court on Thursday last at Florence, for the pro secution of Frank c. Kiobey, charged with killing Wood Porter.
 It is not often that a man charged with murder stands before his brother as judge but such was the situation in this case, for Judge Joseph N. Kibbey sat upon the bench.
 The proceedings were scarcely under way when Judge Kibbey arose and said in substance: "The tune Las arrived Tn this proceeding when 1t becomes ne- cessary for decision 10 be made affect ing the interests of the defendant, and as 1 am the brother of this defendant, conceive 1t my duty not to do so. Until this moment 1 could have no judicial knowledge of this case, but now an is sue being rendered the court for trial 1 must decliCe and refuse to try it, al though 1t has been asserted that | had selected or arranged for another judge to try this case. l have not done so or expressed any preference in any wise in the choice of judge; but deeming it my duty to proceed in regular way until my disqualification should appear, and believing that had no right before that to designate or select any other judge to preside. I waited until now. And now for the first time the question is presented, and I ask counsel to select the name of one of the three other Judg es Of this territory who would be acceptable to them, and I will make an order referring future proceedings herein to hIm, and requesting him 10 proceed ID this court and case ir its fu- ture hearing"
 Messrs. Jackson, Barnes and Porter then with ths defendants counsel se- lected Hon. Henry c. Gooding, chief justice of the territory, as the judge to further proceed in the matter, and to order grand jury to investigate the charge, and an order was accordingly made.

As many Republicans are still wan dering 'how it happened" for their in formation on the subject we repuhlish the following from the Virginis City Enterprise, which will perhaps fill the long felt want. It says:-It is wise provision of nature that gives us the privelege of relieving our feelings af;er severe disappointment, by telling how It happened. Itis almost as great a pleas ure WI some people to throw the blame on somebody else after losing as to win. It is very great pleasure indeed 10 be permitted to discourse gravely upon the cause or causes of defeat, and we oD-
 Serve that Republicans ali over the country are solacing themselves with one or the other, sometimes with both the in tellectual reinvigoratCrs. In this state We don't need much bracing mp. We had no expectation of carrying Nevada, and the national disappointment is alIeviatei m degree by the perturbation. of the Silver men who, having. in effect voted for Cleveland, have nothing to show for their investment. As matter of f,ct.
 we are sorry for Harrison's defeat. but wehave sustained the shock and are re- covering. Our grief is modified by the certainty that blasted expectations that never had any foundation will restore the Republican strength. It is melting be- fore the fair hopes of the future, while inc exuberant demonstrations of the op- position resemble noisy carouse to be followed by utter prostration the next day. Still we can say how it happened; there was nobody te blame; the people simply do not like a protective tariff. and voted against the party by which it Is advocated How it happened in Ne Eada needs no explanation. Men shrewd on other subjects allowed themselves to be persuaued that a vote for Weaver would help silver. Having committed themselves to an expression of opinion. they were unwilling to listen to argument until after the election. Now there is 10 argument needed; the unyielding facts speak for themselves, and if Cleve- land did get the benefit of the silver sen timent once, the same trick will not be played twice. It will not happen again.

HUGHES DID NOT APPEAR
Prosecutors of the Libel Suit Want Vindication More than Damages.

The l.. c. Hughes libel suit was called on the 16th at the session of the district court at Florence. The prosecuting at~ torneys Judge Barnes and Selim NJ. Franklin were present and prepared to have the case tired but l.. c. Hughes did uos appear. Judgement by default might have been easily obtained in con sequence and the amount of damages assess d by the jury there in session. Messrs. Barnes and Franklin however did not wish to have the case settled that way, Fs IL was victory and vindca- tion they were af,er, rather than vic: Ory by default with the prospect of larger damages than otherwise but under the circumsJ ances of not giving Hughes a chance to defend himself, perhaps, be cause he had not been notified or had other business which prevented his be- ing present. Messrs. Barnes and Frank lin allowed the case to be continued to the next sitting of the court which will probably be in January.

A Collection of Scalps.

The National museum has a very large collection of scalps, and it is wonderful to think what tragic tales they would nave to tell if they could only speak One of them is crown of real golden hair with circle of skin attached reft from the head of little German girl at the Mountain Meadows massacre. II spots it is stained with the victims blood "a pitiful reminder. Of the same party of honest pioneers may have been the man from whose caput shock of black and curly locks was torn; it forms part of the exhibit.
 There are many other scalps of whits people and Indians-the former mostly curly and readily distinguishable from .he straight black hair of the aborigines. The long tresses of women, blond and brunette, suggest to the mind imagin- ings none too fearful of tragedies, with outrage and torture as preliminary. A single warriors trophy bears pendent twelve scalps, each representing a mur der.-Washingtou Star,

FINAL county should eerve as an object lesson to the repu blican party of Arizo- ma. The county convention, which met Tn September, was composed f the re- presentetive men of the party in the county. They performed their labors m an exOeditIous and harmonious man. her. putting forth ticket that was gen orally satisfactory. By united and ener- getIc work, with only three exceptions, the noket was elected, cutting Mark Smlth's majority down to fifteen and giving majority to Cuff. This result was brought about in what has been generally conceded to be democratic county. Like action and exertion on the part of the party in the entire ter ritOry would bring about similar state of affaIrs.-Florence Tribune.

There has been nothing but a cat hauling among the republicans of this county for the past four years, and although they put men Tn nomination for the several offices of the county, they failed to support them with that unanimity of feeling that meant victory for the party.

| PRESIDENT HARRISON. says sn AssO-
 ciated Press dispatch, takes deep in
 terest and an active part in the consld-
 eration of the future plans of the Re
 publican party. He has been receiving calls from men more or less prominent
 in the party ever since the election, and
 his talks with them have tended to en-
 courage them to activity in the work of organizing and strengthening the party. There has been no despondency in what
 he has said, and he wastes DO time in
 vain regret, but is earnest in feeling that more than ever there Is need for com
 pactness and unity of purpose in the party. It is evidently bis feeling that the party should show TO weakening in the presence of defeat, and should lose as little time as possible in strengthen ing the party organization.
 The discussion of reorganization is in a sense not of change ID principle or in policy, but one of perfectIng manage ment and method, and has already been taken up seriously by leading Repub- licsrs, and correspondence looking to strengthening of organization has be- gun. A permanent organization with
 workers who will keep up theIr work all the year around and every year, instead
 of trying to do the work of four years
 in few months before each Presiden-
 tial election, Is what is aimed at.
 There is some difference of opinion among republicans as to the policy to be followed, but the idea seems to prevail that the 'force bill" question must be for ever put aside, and that there must be modification ot the party's position on the tariff. The Mckinley bIll, it is argued, places the party on a dangerous height and it must come down little, making it their contention merely for the principle of protection and consent ing to moderation in its application.
 Ex-Assistant Secretary Coon, of New York, who has just been defeated by Gen. Sickles for congress, called on the president and said that he thought the trouble with hls party, when it attempt ed to establish a strong permanent or ganization for campaign work, would be that it cOuld not get sufficient money. In any organization and adjustment of the lines of party, he looked for no chanqe of principle, but though there | might be some concessions on the tariff | so as to prevent the letter of the McKin- 1 ley law beng taken as the platform Of the party. He said that be thought l that there was need for more money for the business of the country, and that the great work of the republican party l in the future would be to deal with the financial question, and to give the peo- pie more money without reducing the value of the dollar.

THE Citizen of Tuesday says George H. Kelly, of the Bulletin, it is rumored, will be candidate for Sergeant-at-Arms of the legislative council. This may be so, but We would like to whisper to Bro. Brown, that it is asserted by MT. Kelly's friends that nothing short of the chair MT. Brown now sits in will satlsfy him; that register of the Tucson land office is just his size, and he means to have it. - Stockman.
 "Asi entendemos," but if Kelly wants the ieb of rounding up the democratic coun- cilmen we would like to see hIm get It. And m the meantime the pressnt register will try and hold the office down til he gets lack from Phoenix.

The Meanest Man.

4 man in Pomona who owes us over two years subscription, put his paper back in the office last week marked Refused" We have heard Of many mean men. For instance, there Is q man who used the wart on bis neck for a collar button, the one who pastured a goat on his grand-mOther's grave, the one who stole coppers from a dead man s eyes, the one who got rich by giving his five children a nickle each to go to bed without supper and then stealing the nickle while the children were asleep. But for pure. downright meanness, the man who will take a paper for years, mark it Refused" and stick it back in the post office, Is entitled to the first premium.-Pomona Progress.
