No one has yet been able to realize the
advantages Of casting aside the special
charter Of North Yakima and adopting
that under which We are now working
City warrants which formerly brought
dollar for dollar don't seem at present te
be marketable at any price, and the ex'
psnses Of the numerous elections in the
past year are sstinated at 5000. Will the
advocates OF the change, who were %
fluent in their arguments in its favor
please inform TIE HERALD how the city
has been benefited in any particular

many on his brother. A "wah-wah" e n
sued. II gun had been fred there
would have been bloody work. Whether
or not it was ease Of ''one afraid and
the other daren't." the fact remains that
they agreed not to open the bali then and
there, which was doubtless the prudent
course for Captain Splawn and his men.
Moses retreated about fifteen miles and
went into camp near Moses lake. The
Yakima boys followed later and about
midnight surprised his camp, capturing
him and the murderers-and brought
them to Yakima City.
They were all indicted-Moses as &C.
cessory after the fact. He was then ia
ken out of the hands OF the county by
United States authority, taken TO Una
tilla, had another "wah-wah" with Gen
eral Howard-and finally turned up in
Washington rs the guest of the Indian
department. and because he was a good
Indian was presented with q reservation.
That he was liar when he told Howard
the murderers were not Sin his midst is
proved-the murderers while in Jail rec.
oenizing one of Towards staff officers
who happened to see them there. He
asked them how they knew him, and
they told him they shook hands With him
while Howsr was at Priest Rapids the
year before.
The murdersrs were Yskimas who ran
away from the reservation and were on
their way to join Moses when they met
Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins. The facts given
here as to the killing are such as were
confessed by one of the number, who be
came a witness for the territory and after
the trial WAS discharged. Two of them
were hung at Yakima City early in 1880.
One OF them shot himself in Moses camp
rather than be taken and oue-Tommy-
hop Towne-escaped from the Jail and
was re-csptured near Umstilla in the
summer OF 1881, tried at the October term
OF that year and hung on January 10th,
1882
Theirs were many heroic scts of citizens
of this valley during that exciting tins,
which deserve mention. II is impossible
to crowd them into this article. Hon.
Geo. Taylor. w. z. York, II. NJ. Benton
and David Correll are among those still
living who we're engaged in the capture
of the murderers and Moses. Samuel
Chappell lived along the Yakima below
the gap. Correll csms to his place with
. jsded horse aud armed only with a rs-
volvsr. He said he had heard the boys
were in close quarters over on the Column
his, and he was going to their aid Mr.
Chappell could not leave his wife and
children, but gave Correll his rife and
horse and babe him "God-spsed."

THE LEGISLATURES FIRST DUTY

We are law-abiding people under gov.
eminent. The citizen owes to the gov
eminent honor and obedience. The gov
eminent owes to the citizen protection.
The citizen is taxed to carry on the gov
eminent. II he does not pay his taxes
the law first imposes . penalty in the
form OF interest charged on unpaid taxes,
and, finally, seizes and sells his property.
One OF the clear duties OF the government
10 to provide . financial system under
which the citizen can live, work, and get
paid for his work. II the government
does not do this the citizen cannot pay
his taxes. There is no controverting the
fact that the government has failed to
provide a monetary system which per
mits money to circulate freely. 1t has
even, from mistaken motives or careless
ness, destroyed to . great extent the
money basis which ia that OF this country
under the constitution. The plain fact ID
that the law-sbiding citizen, solvent in
sbility. will to work, and property
though he is, cannot get the money &c
pay his taxes. 1t, under these circum
stances, the law collects a Shylock pen
atty of twenty per cent. % penalty which
its own provisions stamp as usury) and
sells the property of the citizen, wher
lowing largely to its own unconstitutional
and mistaken monetary legislstionl that
property will not bring half the money il
10 wsrth, then the state ia robbing its owl
children, and doing its best to make them
paupers and socialists.
The first action Of the legislature q
Olympia should be to pass q law protect
ing its citizens in this matter.

GOLD sTIKES.
Glittering Quartz Picked Up in Sew.
eral Localities Adjacent to
Santa Fe.

Yesterday afternoon Allan Butcher,
whose ranch is in the Santa Fe noun
tains at Rock Corral, ten miles out on the
old Santa Fe trail, came into the NEW
MEXICAN Office and bought half dozen
mine location blanks for the purpose, as
he explained, of locating claims in the
vicinity of his home He had a sample
of splendid looking quartz with him in
which abundant mineral was visible to
the naked eye and it appeared to be free
gold. Mr.. Butcher declines to give de-
tails of the find at present, but says "the
quartz exists in considerable quanty."
W. A. Gibson, late of Creede, who owns
a number of good placer claims near the
mouth of Red river, on the Rio Grande,
came in from the north last night and set
the local mining fraternity wild to-day by
exhibiting specimen of quartz. 1t is
as big as turkey egg and literally bris-
ties with free gold. Mr. Gibson says he
found it forty miles north of Santa Fee
Several business men have offered to
stake him for an interest in his locations
but all such offers were declined.
Another find near Santa Fe has been
made by George Knight. In fact he has dis.
covered gold bearing quartz in two local
ities-one twelve miles southwest of the
city and one three miles up the Santa Fe
canon. From the former place he got a
gold button worth about 81 out of fifty
pounds of rock.

A PROTEST..
The D. g. R. G.. Called Upon to Define
Its POlicy-A Reasonable Train
Service Demanded by Santa
Fe and COchiti.

Mr.. H. S. Mcdowell, of Denver, having
interests at Cochiti, came in over the
narrow gauge last ght and leaves for the
great camp tomorrow. lie says the D. &
R. G. train service out of Salida is wretch
ed, and that it is to this fact that so little
travel to Cochiti via the D. & r. G. line
must be attributed.
This train service has been matter of
common complaint for months. In the
dead of night passengers coming south
over the narrow gauge are compelled to
lay over at Salida for five hours, and it
req uires twenty-four hours to make the
trip hither from Denver, whereas over
the A., T. & s. L. it is three hours quicker.
Both are slow enough, but the d. 4 R. G.
could easily shorten its time six hours if
its management had any sort of regard
for the interests of its patrons in south
ern Colorado and northern New Mexico.
While on this subject the New MEXICAN
would also call attention to the manner
in which the d. & r. G. has all along be-
haved toward Santa Fe and Cochiti. 1t
has made no sort of effort to promote
business in this quarter although the at
tention of its officers has repeatedly been
called to the matter. The Board of Trade
should at its next meeting take some &C.
tion appealing directly to President
Jeffrey and secure some expression from
the official head of the company as to
what the policy of the company is toward
this section of country. Supt, Helm, of
the Santa Fe Southern, has done and is
doing all he can in the premises, but
without some reasonable cooperation on
the part of the D. Il R. G. people his
hands are practically tied.

WHY Take the Wabash

For ST. LOUIS?
Because it is the shortest line; the best
equipped line; runs free chair cars, Buffet
Pullmans and gives you ample time in
Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO OR DETROITf
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east, and makes close con-
nections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis, via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty minutes
stop at the falls at seasonable time in the
morning.
FOR ALL OTHER EASTERN POINTS?
Because its service is Uniformly good
and you can make no mistake in asking
for tickets VIA THE WABASH.
