OKLAHONIA TERRIroRY.

There is not much comfort for these lat
ter gentlemen, however, in the attitude Of
the committee, for it is pretty certain that
the Territory Is too young and too crude to
assume the duties and responsibilities of
Statehood OF the 100000 acres of
land in that Territory to be finally
opened up for settlement much has only
been occupied three years and PAYS no
taxes, so that the argument that there is not
sufficient tax-paylng property In the Terri
tory TO pay the expenses of the Government
IS one that has much weight with the COM
mittee. 1t has also been argued that the
politicians, and not the business men of the
Territory, want Statehood These claims
have been vigorously denied by Delegate
Harvey, who is making a big fight to gain
his point.
This Territory cont ined about sixty
thousand people under the last census. but
the opening up OF the recent Indian lands
has added possibly twenty thousand more,
and this, 1t Is claimed, equals the DOpula-
ton Of Idaho, Montana and Washington
when they were admitted.
NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA.
The claims urged for these four appli-
eants have been heard, and sufficient has
been said by various members to indicate
that they are practically a unit as far as
New Mexico and Arizona are concerned.
The former Territory has population said
10 be about 10000 in number. Delegate
cratic, although the Republicans will not
admit this, and contend that it is at least
doubtful. Arizona has Gn,0O0 inhabitants
under the last census, but fully $4,000 now.
1t is Democratic. The bill will recommend
the admission of these two into the sister
hood Of States. to take effect January l,
1893, so they cannot figure in the PTesi-
dental election.
LOCAL sELF-GoYERNMENT.
Having felt the pulse of the committee
Delegate Game will be content if he secures
for Utah a local Self-gOyernment and a
bill To bring that about has been introduced
in the House by him and in the Senate by
Mr. Faulkner. In the meantime, however,
Teller has introduced bill in the Senate
to admit Utah outright.
1t is nevertheless the judgment OF the
committee that it would be unwi5e to do
more for Utah Than Is contemplated In the
Faulkner-Cd BILL and the prediction
here made is pretty apt to be accurate-that
New Mexico and Arizona will be the only
new stars added TO the flag by this Congress.
The people Of Utah do not despair, but
now that Senator Ieler's bill has been in
troduced they will renew the fight with

Joseph Hertz, alias Haskell, the young
man who rented bicycle from an estab-
lishment at Seventh and j streets, and
then "few by night with it to Reno,
New, was tried yesterday before Superior
Judge Catlin and a jury,
The charge against Hertz was grand
larceny, and the evidence against him left
no doubt as to his guilt. On the witness
stand Hertz appeared not to have great
deal of sense, but the 'ishy" story he
told did away with any sympathy the
jury may have had for him. Attorney J.
Charles Jones made a gallant effort to
save the young man, but the task was too
great. The young attorney remarked to
d friend subsequently that if it was only
'down-hilr' from Sacramento to Rocklin
where Hertz first landed with the bicy-
cle) he would have convinced the Jury
that the culprit started out for little ride
and that the bicycle ran away with him.
But the slant happened to be in the wrong
direction.

STATE ENGINEERS PAY.
The Supreme Court Overrules the
Lower Tribunals Decision

The Supreme Court OverruIes the
Lower Tribunals Decision.
The Supreme Court has handed down
an opinion reversing the decision of the
Superior Court of Sacramento. in the
case of William Irelan against E. p. Col
gan, State Controller, and instructed the
court below to overrule the demurrer and
permit the respondent to answer.
The suit in the lower court was one
brought by Irelan against Colgan to re-
cover his salary as State Engineer. A
demurrer to his petition was filed by the
Controller, and the prayer of the petit
toner was denied. Ehe latter appealed
to the Supreme Court, which has now re-
versed the decision of the lower court.
In 1889 an Actwas passed and approved,
which created the office of State Engi-
neeT, ito remain in existence for period
of two years only" and provided that the
State AIineralogist should be eXofficio
State Engineer at a salary of $4,000 per
year. The Act took effect Nav is. 1850
sixty days after its passage; and from
that time until May 19, 1891, when the
Office ceased to exist, the petitioner, who
was the duly appointed, qualified and
acting State Mineralogist, performed the
duties of the office created by the Act.
He received his salary from July /.
1889, to May 10, 1891, which period con-
stituted the forty-first fiscal year and a
portion OF the forty-second. Controller
Colgan refused to draw warrant in favor
of Irelan, for salary, $3.50, due the latter
as engineer from May 10, 1889, to July l /,
1889, claiming that no appropriation had
been made to pay any portion of the sal
-ary for the fortieth fiscal year. There
upon Irelan applied to the Superior Court
for writ of mandate.

Constable J. P. Brissel went down to

who has been living in the tules in that

Horgan has been making himself OBJ
noxious to people residing in that locality
by prowling around at night and frighten-

haIlucinations. For instance, he believes
that the rain in California is poisonous:
that he needs no blankets or clothing, as
his heart keeps him warm; that meat and
other ordinary food poisons him. He has
been living on roots and fruit.

Something About the Inquest-Kelly
was Not Armed-Arrangeme
for the Funeral.

Patrick Kelly of this city arrived from
Vina yesterday morning with the re-
mains of his son Frank, who was shot
and killed early Monday morning at
Vina by Richard Hildebrandt, a hotel
keeper.
Mr.. Kelly says that from what he
learned at the scene of the tragedy the
shooting was wholly unnecessary on the
part of Hildebrandt that the slain young
man had no pistol, and, as further evil
dence that he was not advancing toward
the hotel-keeper, was shot in the back
The Constable who arrested Hildebrandt
is in the latter's employ, which accounts
for his releasing him. At the Coroner's
inquest, Hildebrandt's was the only testi-
mOny taken.
Mr.. Kelly has retained Attorney Charles
T. Jones, and intends to have the case
thoroughly investigated If the facts
prove to be as he thinks they are, he will
prosecute the slayer of his son.
The Red Bluff Sentinel, referring to the
tragedy, says: Various rumors are afloat
as to the cause of the shooting. One
story is that Mr.. Hildebrandt rented a
room to man named Kelly, better
knowni in Red Bluff as Kelly, the Rake"
ana that Kelly went to his room about
O'Clock this morning. A short time after
he got up, made considerable noise and
started to go down stairs. Hildebrandt
heard the noise and seeing Kelly sup
posed him to be a burglar and shot him.
He fell and died in a very few minutes.
Another story is that trainer on the
Vina ranch named Connors went to Hill
debrandrs hotel, went up stairs and into
a room without informing MIR. Hide
brandt and that the noise ~ "a af on,
unusual hour-between l and , o'clock
caused the proprietor to investigate and,
seeing man in the room, or just emerg-
ing from it, and not recognizing him,
shot and killed him."

Frank Kelly would take place this after
