An Outrage.

One of the gravest ofienses againsl a people ever chronicled in the history of Arizona has been perpetrated b! some one who should be made to sui fer for his practical joke.
 A telegram was receivediron Judge Sloan by District Clerk Emanuel an, nouncing that he would be here tc hear the contempt case today. In ac- cordance herewith a telegram was sent to Col. Herring at Bisbee, who is attorney for MT. Perkins. and he lei; at ' o'clock this morning, reaching here at II o'clock. Another telegram was sent to Supervisor Perkins, and he also was on hand to answer fol contempt, as cited. Mir. Emanuel went to Fairbank with carriage to meet the judge and bring him to Tombstone, but no judge appeared.
 MT. Emanuel ,elegraphed to Judge Sloan yesterday that Allen Englisl had gone to California. This coul' certainly have no bearing on the case for the peremptory order citing Mi Perkins 10 appear for contempt O court could not be affected by the fac of the prosecuting attorney goin! away.
 Mir. English publicly stated beior going away that he had nothing nor to do with the McAllister case ano that he had performed his obligation with hlm and been discharged iron further appearance for him. In tn, light Of this declaration NIT. Englisi was not needed and no one expec e, him to act, as he had publicly stated he would not do Sc.
 The PRosPECToR investigated tn, condition vf the wires yesterday ant today and found that they were II excellent working order. No excuse or that score can be given. The train was on tune from Tucson, anC if the judge had been left he woulc have so wired.
 These are simple statements c facts in the case, and the people car have their choice of opinions regard ing the affair.

The Tucson Citizen of last night, in speaking of the 'Cochise county muddle," says:
 Judge Sloan leaves fer Tombstone in the matter tonight. He has already decided it once and granted a man. damus in favor of McAllister. His business there will be to see whether 8 stay of proceedings by Messrs. Per kins and Hawke shall stand. They will be cited to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt, and if their stay of proceedings lis up- held they will be entitled to a dis charge. Otherwise they will probably be punished. Both sides are anxious that Judge Sloan act in the matter on the grounds mentioned.
Tombstone epitaph., 1893-07-16

A letter received from Judge Sloan today by -i. H. Emanuel reads as fol- lows:
 "I hold papers in contempt matter until l hear definately by letter of withdrawal oi proceedings by McAl- lister"
 Judge Sloan has evidently not heard that MT. McAllister has left the coun- try and taken up his residence in Los Angeles, and how Mir. McAllister could withdraw contempt proceedings if he were here, is past ordinary com prehension.

THE OTHER SIDE.
How that Remarkable Convict Camp
Escape Occurred.


In respect to the recent escape of gam
blers from the convict camp, one who
knows what really occurred, gives a
LIGHT man the following account:
The incident occurred on Friday last,
and not on Saturday, as reported. There
were several gamblers confined in camp
in default of payment of fines, and these
were visited by several friends from the
'city, who contrived to pass several bottles
of liquor to them. This the gamblers i'm
bibed freely and, as it got away with
them, they became more noisy and tur-
buient, so much so that under guard
Julian GailOrd could do nothing
with them. At three o'clock in the
afternoon GailardO, then in charge of the
camp, sent a messenger to the head guard,
Martin j. Ernest, who was working a
gang of cOnVlCtS about one and a half
mile distant from the camp, and to the
superintendent. Ernst went to the res
cue at once, but when he got there all was
quiet. The same night, about p. M,
two gamblers escaped and came to the
city. This could have been prevented if
proper vigilance had been exercised, and
herein lies the trouble. For this Gailar-
do is somewhat blamed, for while he is a
good man in many ways, he is not adapt
ed for the position of guard, and is not
not popular with his comrades. For this
reason he was removed some time ago,
but for some reason he was subsequently,
reinStated. In any case the convict camp
will bear much systematic Improvement.

Fined for Tapping a Reporter

In yesterdays issue of the LIGHT
there contained an article to the
effert that Hal Weir, the second
assistant city clerk, was termed
the assistant recorder, as he spent
his morning hours in hearing the
evidence in the sensational cases
in police court, instead of attend
ing to his books, for which the city
pays him nice salary. Mr.. Weir
noticed the article and informed
a LIGHT man this morning
that he intended to whip
the reporter who "roasted him.
J. II. Stephenson, who wrote the
item, was seated at the reporters
table in police court this morning
when the elevator boy approached
him and informed him that Mr..
Weir was DESTROYS Of having talk
with him. Stephenson left the court
room and repaired to the city
clerks office where he met Weir.
AS he approached Wier gave him
a blow, which gently brushed his
dim side whiskers. Accordingly,
both parties were arrested, Weir on
the charge of striking,and Stephen
son on the charge of fighting
Judge McAllister heard the evil
dence and fined the little clerk $40
while Stephenson left the court
room with as much money as
when he entered, his case having
been dismissed.

GAMBLING STOPPED.
The Officers Tackle the Tiger and
Clip It's Claws.

Cllp 1JS FLAWS.
Last night the sheriff, through
his deputies, notified all of the
keepers of the various gambling
houses in the city that they must
close up, and the tiger lay down on
the green cloth and silently slum-
bered. The sound of the click of
the chips and rumble of the rou-
lette ball was stilled in the silent
watches of the night, and the call
of the keno manipulation was not
heard in the land.
Like OthellO the occupation of
the knight of the green cloth was
gone for a time at least and the
halls of the sports are to be closed
for a season at least.
Many of the gamblers are pre-
pairing to migrate to more propltl-
Gus fields. The closing is cOnsid-
cred to be caused by the general
stampede of the gamblers from the
convict camp last Saturday,
coupled with a demand made on
the sheriff to enforce the statute
against gambling. How long the
gambling houses are to remain
closed, however, is a question OF
time.

SUNDAY LAW PHASES.
Some Important Points for the
Sabbatarian.

Sabbatarian.
The Sunday law men who demand that
saloons be closed on Sunday have much
TO say in the communication upon a
breach Of the peace. Chairman Fleming
is a. lawyer, and should know that the
opening of saloons on Sunday, even
though a violation of the law, is not a
reference, while intimidative, is not ap-
picable. He should further know that
the persecution OF such majority OF the
citizens, is conducive TO a breach of the
peace.
All laws derive their force from the
consent OF the COVE rned. When they be-
come tryanical and oppressive, the peo-
pie will rise and act. Who shall blame
them? NOX pOpuli is. as of old "VOX del. "
But says the Sunday law men. There
is the law and you should obey it, That
Is true in a measure but the people are a
law unto themselves. King George HIS
tvranneoUS rule over the American colon
lists was lawful and what intelligent men
will condemn the brave men who resisted
tyranny, and became free OF an oppreS-
Sive yoke? The MeXicanl avs were law
full in Texas when the Texas patriots
took arms to annihiate them
and become free. Yet today the
names of those patriots are
dear to envy true Texan and have the
admiration of the world. The reason for
this is not for to seek. 1t lies in the fact
that law, so called, is not always justice.
The puritanical Sunday law men in
their religious and political action forget
that the Sabbath was made for man and
not man for the Sabbath" and the devne
authority for this theory. They too for
get that day of rest should be a day of
rational pleasure. Christianity can be as
we'll if not better served, by the joyous
than the sod who would lead
men to believe that Christian
life meant lifelong martyrdOm,
making it thing to be dreaded rather
than revered. The solemn face, psalm
singing. prayer and outward condemna-
ton of human frailty do not make the
Christian, and indeed the saviour in his
immortal prayer has fought us forgive
our treSSpasSerS as we forgive them that
treSspasS against us" The Sunday law
men says I'VE do not forgive your tresS-
passes but we condemn and prosecute
you
Do these Sunday law men violate no
moral or legal law? Are they so egotisti-
cal as to mo" and don the garb of a
PhariSe The violation of the moral
law is as great as violating the legal
statutes, and yet those who admittedly
sin are prepared to cast the first stone at
their brethren. mo.
