DEATH OR GREAT BODILY HARM
may carry a weapon for his own protec-
ton. Martin had reason to believe
this. and did believe it, and everybody
else knows it. In addition to this, tho
penalty assessed was unusually severe.
The company did not know that Martin
was sent to jail until they saw the fact
stated in the newspapers.
Yesterday morning the frat car over
the line had a brick thrown through
window in tho Eighth ward, and
there was little yelling at operators
and conductors through the day. A
piece OF railroad rail was placed on
the track, also, at Ford's crossing early
in tho morning in such way as to be
scarcely visible, and yet to probably
throw the car of the track. This was
discovered in the nick OF time by
Waterman, and taken away.
Outside OF similar things to these no
interference with the running OF the
cars was learned Of. Last evening all
seemed to be quiet.

THE LAND COURT.

The decision of the Land Court yes
terday, in the Nogales de Elias claim
was the greatest stroke of good fortune
that ever fell to the people of Arizona
and more particularly to the good citi-
zens of Pima county. 1t carried with
it feeling of intense relief to the home
of every settler in southern Pima.
The decision wisely holds that quanti-
ty as originally intended by the grantors,
and not boundaries as set up by the
assumed grantees, must be the govern
ing factor in the adjustment of the
claims. This will either wipe them off
entirely from this side of the line or else
confine the acreage to a mere fraction
OF their present vast pretentions.
1t has been the repeated toast OF
these grantees, that they wanted only
their own, but this 'own" hovered
over almost every piece of valuable land
in southern Arizona. At first these grants
were supposed to be expressly non
mineral in character, but emboldened
by apparent success the claimants
gradually came to look enviously on
every thing in sight. even to the pro-
duct OF mans labor and the house and
homes of the hardy frontiersman. In
their far reaching engerness to claim
everything quantity had no place IN
their lexicon, but boundaries with an
elasticity never before known, were
made to "gobble up" everything OF
value no matter how far distant. The
finding of a bald headed rock on a far
off mountain usually called for the an
nouncement of ''newly discovered
evidence" and a new survey would be
ordered and the mountain with Its IN
tervening valleys taken in.
For long time the so called claimants
ciamored for justice and prayed for an
adjustment of titles. The land court
bill was of their own drafting and was
passed with their concurrence but while
they were instrumental In creating
court they were unable to control it,
hence refused to 60 before 1t but IN
sisted on either the government or
people forcing them in. They would
thus they claim, be relieved OF its
restrictions.
OF course the Elias case will be ap-
pealed TO the supreme court OF the
United States, This is to be expected,
but we are satisfied that the result will
not be different from the decision
just rendered.
Arizona weekly citizen., 1893-12-23

The dicsion on the Land Court in the
Nogales case, that the grant has been
satisfied in Sonora. goes a long way
towards the settlement of the vexed
aueetion which has for so long time
overshadowed property titles in south
ern ATiz iona. The effects of the deci-
sion is certain to cut off all extravagant
claims to the vast tracts far beyond the
land that ought to be contended for. 1t
kills the absurd assertion that one mile
square means ten miles square. 1t goes
even further and gives hope that many
of them will be held invalid. This is
the view for which Judge Barnes has
so long and persisteptly contended, and
it is nothing more than simple justice
to him to m Ike this statement. Of
course this one decision on the Elias
grant does not necessarily affect the
validity of other grants as each one
must stand OF its own particular merit.
We believe in giving justice to all men,
to grantees as wall as settlers. If a
grant is valid it should be confirmed,
if fraudulent or inflated beyond its
original boundaries, it should be wiped
off the maps of the county, or reduced
to its legitimate proportion.

GOVERNOR WoLFLEY's statement in
the Repu blican of yesterday, in refer
ence to his troubles with the Peoria
capitalists, is a straightforward, con-
else one. If these Peoria people are
guilty of what Governor " olhey charges
them with, they have perpetrated
gross fraud upon not enly Mr.. Woltiey
ard his partners, but upon the people
of Arizona. We are not familiar with
the facts in the case, aside from the
governors statement, yet we fail to
understand how few million dollars
can give any set of mes a license to
deprive reputable citizens of their
rights. The governor has labored hard
to build the canal and dam at issue, and
is deserving of great credit for his
energy and determin ition in the matter
and We cannot but hope that he will
be fairly and honestly dealt with by the
men now controlling the enterprise

ENQUIRER ID the Silver Belt, wishes
to know who Chas. r Hoff Is and why
he represented Giia county when he
failed to secure representation on the
committees of his own county. The
explanation is easily given. With the
exception of a very limited few the
territory is anxious for statehood and
Gila county cannot have better re-
preventative or more energetic worker
than Mr. Hoff. We differ from him IN
politics. but there are no politics in the
proposition for statehood. His own
delega ion united on him for tenn
porary and permanent secretary of the
statehood convention and be was rec
omme nded for one of the county re-
preventative, but at his own request his
name was taken off and he WAS ap-
pointed by the convention to represent
Gila county instead. The good citizens
of Gila county can rest assured that if
statehood can be had for Arizona their
representative will do his full share in
getting 1t.

Indian Commissioners Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Tbe annual
meeting of the board of. Indian com
missoners, which began today, is ex-
pected to develop some interesting dis
cussions on Indian affairs. President
Gates of A mherst college. is chairman
OF the board and he and his eight as
sociates will hold private session to
day followed by a public session at the
Corcoran art gallery on Friday. 1t is
anticipated that the question of incor-
poratlng the entire Indian service with
In the scope of the civil service Will be
strongly urged. 1t will be a decided
innovation as to agents, as they are
presidential appointees confirmed by
the senate. Yet 1t is contended that
this would not be bar to civil service
examination and that the Indians
would thereby be greatly improved
and removed from politics.

The Kibbsy Trial.

Editor CITIZEN:
As to an utterly untruthful statements
with reference to the Kibby trial, as
Mr. Mccullough has gone home, 1
think it my duty to say that the state
ment in the Star that Mr.. Cullough was
asleep during the trial Is absolutely
untrue. He may have closed his eyes
wearied by the light but his mind was
all attention. The jury stood eight for
acquittal and four for conviction. L am
satisfied that all we're honest and sincere
in their judgment. Mr.. Mccullough
expressed his willingness to assent to
a verdict of guilty Of manslaughter with
a recommendation to mercy. / say this
much in justice to Mr. Mccullough as
/ was foreman of the jury.

WHEN Arizola was first ushered into
the world It's parents and sponsors met
ard voted that the bars were up against
saloons and that none would be
permitted in the town. This resolution
was subsequently modified and dram
drinking was to be allowed in "A certain
designated locality. Later the probibi-
tory order was rescinded 10 toto, and
now the Oasis, the banner paper of the
town, boldly announces that Arizola
offers good opening for saloon. The

don't propose to take chances with that

Four made two months later. The
present owners Of the Mammoth bought
the clam from the original locators last
June for $4,000 and within the past
month have refusei an offer of $780,

Gently went to San Marcial to sink an
experimental shaft writes that the work
Is making fine progress.
The depth attained was forty-two feet.
To that depth no water had been en-
countered, and the pump had not been
set up. The sinking passed through
one deposit OF six feet, the coal being
found in confirmation of what the
diamond drill showed. 1t proved
splendid marketable coal.
Drifting will be done from the shaft,
to take out the coal in quantities for
the experts. All they wsnt-a thousand
tons il they say SOTO demonstrate that
the coal is what they desire will be
given them.
The four experts who recently left

look. One of them while here pro-
nounced the coal from the helds
superior to the best Lehigh anthracite,
having a higher per centum of carbon.
This is saying all that it Is possible to
say IN favor of the product of the new
field.
Mr.. Wagy is working three shifts
day, eight hours each, and going down
as fast as possible. He is endeavoring
TO reach 100 feet by the first of the new
year. He will probably succeed.

which is probable, the new field will

The Midwinter fair will soon burst
upon the world with the glories of the
Pacific coast on exhibition. As Cali
fornia is our neighbor when the wonder
over her wonderful products has been
called forth from admiring millions, the
question will naturally be asked to what
her sister state Arizona, can show. So
far as our limited means will permit
the territory should not be one whit be-
hind her great rival. There is nothing
that California can grow that Arizona
cannot dupli ate, with comparisons in
favor of the latter. 1t behooves Ari-
zona to be represented, not on paper
bnt in products. No appropriation is
available for that purpose, but the
pride of locality should be sufficient to
make worthy representation. Phoenix
and the Salt River are already moving
in the right direction. Let other towns
and other communities do likewise.
The representation should be general
all over the territory. Arizona should
have as at Chicago, one common place
of exposition. A proper spirit OF rivalry
between the different localities would
then give opportunity for display. The
business men of the country should

up the evidence that practically led to
the recent decision in the Land Court
OF the Elias grant. The honor and
