Wants More Lawyers Appointed.

j. c. Carr, of this city, in re-
Spouse to letter published through
the press, from John Wharton
Clark, his associate attorney at
Washington, ID. c., writes the fol-
lowing to United States Attorney
General Olney, endorsing the APP
pOintment of especial attorneys"
to take evidence in Indian claims:
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS,
July 26th, 1898.
Hon. T. S. Attorney General Richard Oh
ney, Washington, ID. c.
Dear Sir-Enclosed | send you
copy of a communication from
John Wharton Clark, Esq, of
Washington, ID. c., in which he
suggests the appointment of spe-
cial attorneys, on the part of the
United States, in certain districts,
to take evidence in Indian depre-
datiOn claims allowed under act of
Congress of March 3rd, 1891. l
think that his suggestion is timely
and proper, and the citizens
of this section, the part directly
interested in satisfaction of these
claims, endorse the suggestion
The taking Of evidence in these
cases is necessarily tedious and ex-
pensive and everything points to
the fact that they ought to be
settled as soon as possible, for those
to be benefited most are living in
section of country that in addi-
ton to ravages by Indians, have
suffered by drOuth and all the back
sets incident to settlement of a
frontier; many of them are in
straitened circumstances and fast
passing away, and since this repair
alton by the government is in
tended to benefit the people,
the government ought to sup
ply every facility to enable
them to prove up their claims.
am representing Gas agent and at
tOrney) claims amounting to six
hundred thousand dollars, and up
to date have succeeded in getting
evidence taken in only about $780,
600 worth. 1t has taken about two
years to get this far, and at that
rate, if no better facilities are pro-
vided, it will take about ten years
to reach them all.
Hoping the Importance of this
matter will meet your approval,
| am respectfully,
J.C. CARR.

He Didn't Get Wet.

There is popular beer drummer
of the city who is an estimable
gentleman and who is scrupulOusly
natty in his attire. Recently he
had an occasion to ford the river
at Mill bridge and when in the
centre of the river the harness
broke, the horse became unman-
ageable, and above all lOundered
considerably. The drummer saw
this, but he didn't mean to
get wet, so he put his dog
on the seat, stood there himself
held his wraps above his head
with one hand and his money bag
in the other, and as the buggy was
drifted down the stream, he hOl-
lowed like sixty for help. Two ne
gro men saw the drummer'S dan
ger, and got into the river and
brought the buggy, horse and
owner safely to land and were du-
Iy rewarded. AS for the drummer,
he smiled sweetly, for his neat cos
tune was neither Wetted nor ruff
fled and he went his way rejOiC-
ing.

Converted In Jail.

AS has previously been stated in
the LIGHT, religious services have
been held for several months past
in the comfy jail every other Sun
day afternoon. Yesterday a COM
pany of church people repaired to
the Jail at $3.50 o'clock in the after
noon and held service. Before the
meeting had come to a close, three
of the prisoners protested a change
of heart and joined the Travis
Park Methodist church. They
were supplied with bibles and
will worship alone behind the bars.

Exposed His Person.

Quite an excitement was occa-
stoned on Military plaza this morn
ing when Officer Chavez made the
arrest of one j. FachOn. The officer
found him on the street indecently
exposing himself, and, stepping up
to him, informed him that he was
under arrest. At receiving this in
formation the fellow jumped up
and showed fight. The officer
grabbed him and a rough and
tumble "scrap" ensued. Officer
Chavez was the best of the two,
however, and succeeded in taking
his victim to the station, and then
spent some time in cleaning the
mud from off his clothes. FachOn
is a crazy man and is dangerous
person to be allowed to run at
large.

A Curious Pair.

Mr.. j. A. HOsack is the proud
possessOr of a match pair of antique
derringer pistols that have been
exhibited at the centennial exhibit
ton and the Smithsonian Institute
They are handmade by a private
named Mendenhall in 1861, and
purchased by Major J. A. H. HO-
sack for $500, confederate money.
They are richly inlaid with about
$50 worth of gold, and the curious
part of the work is that they were
made and converted by saw, file,
iack-knife and sand-paper into ele-
giant weapons of superior work
manship. At one time these weap-
ons were selected for a duel be-
tween important persons, as the
barrels are rif1ed and the aim ac-
curate, but the Major, as an officer
in the army, would not allow them
to be so used.

AMERICAN LABORERS

Must Cease Their Complaints About
Canadian Competition Ia the Border
Towns Under Late Ruling OF the
Treasury Department ConItruinE the
Alien Contract Labor Law.
SUSPENSION BRIDGE, y. V. April A.
A decision, rendered by Collector j. j.
Low, of this city, bids fair to tcrmin-
ate the bitter rivalry that has existed
for years between the laborcrS on the
American side of the river and those on
the Canadian side. 1t costs much less
to live in Canada than in the United
States; consequently the worimen
across the border have had an advan-
tnge over the Americans, Finally an
adjustment has been brought about by
Maj. Lows Interpretation of the
contract labor law as advised
by Secretary Carlisle, which, he
thinks relates to contracts made
in foreign country only. Ac-
cording to this reading of the law, a
contract made in the United States, al.
though made with foreigner. is not
prohibited by any existing law The
collector says he has no authority 60
close the gates against foreign labor
ers; hence the laborcrs on this 81 lie will
have to retire with their complaints
The customs collectors have only lately
been invested with the powers to adj
just immigration and alien labor
troubles, and Collector Low is now or
dering the disposition of scores of COM
plants that have been entered by do
nestle laboreIs.
