Several stories agree in saying
two instead of one man were killed
by soldiers when the north line
moved out at noon yesterday. The
murder OF Hill was reported last. A
dead body was to day discovered
several miles south of the border
and is said to be that of another
man who was seen to ride out, lean.
ing over in his saddle No one in
that crucial moment stopped to as
sist him or make any inquiries re
garding his condition. He rode
probably until weakness and the
loss of blood compelled him to
loosen his hold on the pommel. The
wound was in the groin and when
the dead body was discovered the
arms were held rigidly upward in
the position they doubtless were
when death came to the sufferer.
There are many witnesses who de-
clare that more than one shot was
fired by the soldiers, when the north
line moved out and at the time Hill
was killed. Such evidence, however
is not trustworthy, as the excite
ment attending the scene and its
surroundings would tend to make
the testimony Of anyone participat
ing in it unreliable. There can be
no doubt of the fact, however, that
some OF the troups, under the in
fuence of liquor freely furnished
them by sooners aud others seeking
their favor, has led to many arbi-
trary and brutal acts.

The crime of rape is the most
hsinous known to civilization and oul
laws appear inadequate to protect
our women and girls from licentious
brutes. Men of America will pro-
tect their women, the same in Michi
gan and Wisconsin as in Texas and
Louisiana. When a lynching oc
ours for this crime the world con.
odones if it does not commend the act.
With officers it is different. They are
sworn to protect the lives of THEN
prisoners and uphold the majesty ol
the law. No matter for what crime
the prisoner is charged it is the
duty of the officer who has him in
charge to protect him for the law
even with his life. If the reports
respecting the lynching at Rich Hill
are to be credited the peace officers
failed to preform their duty and
should be censured. It is said by
parties in Rich Hill at the time that
several or even one determined man
could have held the mob at bay
and prevented crime which will be
stigma not only upon Rich Hill
sbut upon the county.

Thomas G. Ellis, Of Rich Hill
spent day in the city last week
He it was who made the phenomena
race for the democratic nomination
for sheriff last year. He had a clear
majority in the convention and his
friends organized it,bat in the inter
val for dinner township delegation
of six was changed from Ellis, there
10y giving the successful candidate 3
majority. No higher tribute could
be paid him than that by a gentle
man who said the other day: tom
Ellis would make a sheriff second to
none the county of Bates ever had
and he would have been nominated
but for the fact that he is too honest
to engage in the tricks practiced
by some of the politicians That
gentleman is right, he is honest,
honorable and true as steel. aud if
ne was sheriff there would be no
mob law in Bates county.

Before adjournment last week the
county court saw proper to change
the order made and published in
the TIMES. relating to the prosecution
of the merchants of this county on
their statements and in lieu thereof
made the following record:
Now at this day be it order by
the court that the treasurer and ex-
officio collector of Bates county
proceed at once to institute suits
upon the bonds of the merchants in
this county for recovery of the stat
uary taxes and penalties as provided
by law
We understand the merchants of
Butler have signi6ed willingness
to do what Is proper and right and
are anxious that the matter be set
tied without process of law and to
this end the court has been impor
tuned to meet the merchants in extra
session at an early date and adjust
+, the difficulty, if any exists. Under
the present mode of procedure the
business men are at loss to know
whether their lists must contain a
statement of 100 cents on the dollar
or what ratio they are to be assessed.
The merchant claims that other
property is not given in at value
of dollar for dollar and that the
assessment on their property should
aet be rated at higher valuation
than other people are taxed. This
proposition bears the stamp of fair.
'aess and we feel satisfied will meet
the approval of those concerned.
We feel sure the court harbors no
ill feelings in the matter or disposi-
ton to deal arbitrarily aud that an
adjustment of the differences will be
made to the satisfaction of the reve.
nue. and merchant.

Harry McTerney received a telegram
from Mrs. Frank Alexander last Thurs
day announcing the death Of her hus-
band, which took place in San Fran
cisco at half-past A o'clock in the after
noon OF the previous day. He was
under the care Of DIR. Lane, who was
treating him for cancer, and about two
weeks ago an operation was performed
on both sides OF his neck, from which
he never recovered. Frank was an ex-
cellent man and was highly esteemed
by all who knew him. His death &C.

he has resided since the earliest days
Of the town. He was a native Of Mas
sachusetts and aged about As years.
He leaves his wife and a little child to
mourn him, and in their bereavement

lence OF this entire community.

Lead Company Of San Francisco, re-
ceived a letter from his firm a few days
ago stating that it will continue to buy
ores as usual. The letter says: We
suppose the rapid fall in silver and lead
has so demoralized miners that you do
not deem il necessary to remain longer
in Hamilton. We will, Of course, SUI
fer some from the depreciation, but We
do not intend, as some shelters talk
Of doing. shutting down our works, but
on the contrary, propose continuing
along in the same line as before. You
may be asked at Eureka what we pro-
pose doing. therefore you can inform
shippers generally, IL you q find any

receiving their ore, and that they can
send it along as fast as they like. We

A Denver dispatch Of June Goth says
A large number of representative
smelling and mining men Of the State
met this afternoon and unanimously
decided to completely close down all
the smelters, mills and silver mines in
Colorado. Ex-Governor J.. B. Grant
Of the Omaha and Grant smelter pre-
sided.
The resolutions adopted declare that
the world cannot transact business
without silver money that the actual
cost and value Of the metal far exceeds
the incorrect views which monometal-
lists have formed: that the inevitable
course Of events will quickly demon
strate that the enormous sums Of
money invested in railroads, loan and
other property will SO depreciate in
value that the monometallists will also
be convinced that some action must be
taken with silver to restore it TO its
legitimate use which ii has had from
time immemorial.
1t was therefore resolved TO com
pletely close down all the silver mines,
mills and smelters in Colorado until
such time as silver was appreciated at
its proper worth. This action will
throw many thousand persons out oil
employment.

Editor.

Editors may find some consolation
in the fact that they have inspired feel
ings Of envy in the breast Of q young
Japanese boy. A recent issue Of an
East Indian paper contained the fol-
lowing note: "A schoolboy in Loera-
baya was asked to describe an editor
OF a paper. He did so in this way
An editor is the luckiest man in the
world. He can go to q circus every
afternoon and every evening without
paying a cent. lie can go also to the
courthouses, the places Of execution
and the races.
He has free tickets to all the the
aires, receives presents at his Office,
and gets his ears boxed too. He goes
also to Prigen, Malang or Lawang
places of amusement). He does not
do this often, however. In n paper
he can deny everything that was said
in the previous one, and he does so, as
Q rule. When other people are already

Ex-Governor Hauser, chief owner oil
the Helena smelter, which is pouring
out $500, 900 in bullion every month.
says he will not close up. There is
enough gold and lead ores in Montana
to keep it running in spite Of the low
price of silver. Hauser says the pres
ent situation will cause a reaction in
favor Of silver. Every silver mine that
closes down reduces the production
OF gold from rs to 40 per cent, and the
result will be the contraction Of the
gold product to less than sixty-ive
million OF dollars per annum, the
amount which is consumed every year
in the arts alone. Money will become
scarcer, and gold will goto a premium.
and this scarcity will compel the in
creased use OF silver.
Hauser thinks the next Congress
will repeal the Sherman law and pass
a law for the coinage Of three or four
millions of silver per month on in
creased ratios. Hauser is one OF the
largest mine owners in Montana.

in paying quantities, as the upper lev
els are worked out and the lower levels
contain nothing Of any great value.
The Monitor mine, also belonging TO
the New Eberhardt Company. Limited
Of London, shows no large returns,
though tits self-supporting. They have
spent 100000 to test the property,
though the estimate was 10000. This
did not give the shareholders special
confidence in the directors or manager,
so at a meeting the other day in Lon
don, they decided to quit silver mining
altogether in Nevada and turn their
attention TO gold mining in South
Africa. They are going TO buy, for
$4,000, the Thistle Reef gold mine,
near Barberton, in the Transval. The
directors were ordered to complete the
purchase Of the gold property. which
consists of twenty claims with a total
length OF 300 feet. The Eberhardt
and Monitor mines in Nevada are to
be sold. This will end the career OF
this once famous company on this
Coast. Like other London investors
they are looking for gold mines and
are going TO South Africa after them.

A HANS LABOR ~ CAPITAL.

All prospects that look like they may
make a mine don't develop into one.
It takes capital to develop a prospect
into a mine. A mans labor lie capital.
Why all this about eastern
capitalists being bitten in mines2 II
they put money into q developed mine
they can measure its value the same
as corn in q crib. II they won't take
the pains to find out what they pur-
chase they are not business men. II
they purchase a prospect they have no
guarantee that they will get their
money back, yet on the other hand
they may reap q rich harvest by the
expenditure of q little money. The
man who has the real risk Is the one
who seeks amid the recesses OF the
mountains for the metals. He risks
his life, and If he finds nothing his
time has gone for naught. He may
locate good looking prospects and spend
years opening them up, with his linn
tied means, only to find that there is
no pay in il. Eastern people don't
put money in mines only for expected
gain, and if they lose occasionally 1t is
no more than the prospector and real
miner does. Is it not a fact that they
win oftener than they lose; that mill
ions taken from the Western hills finds
its way into the pockets Of Eastern
men ?-Mohave County Miner.
