THE KILLING OF GRAFT.

The result of the examination of
Charles E. Pearson, charged with the
murder of J. Charles Graft in Mardis,
ON the 9th of August, should be a
warming to the lawless element OF
Elko county. 1t should teach that
class that, if they trample on the
rights of peaceable citizen, and seek
by threats and force OF arms to drive
him from his home and take posses
sion of his property, they do so at the
peril of their lives.
The facts bearing upon the killing
of Graft were patiently listened to by
Justice Henley III an examination ex-
tending over three days and half.
The prosecution was ably conducted
by District Attorney Massey, who
left nothing undone that would throw
any light upon the tragedy. He did
his duty honestly and fearlessly.
Every inch of ground was hotly con-
testify by Hon. J. w. Dorsey, counsel
for defendant.
The personality of the defendant
cuts no figure with the INDEPENDENT.
Had Graft been killed by any other
citizen under similar circumstances
the sympathy and support of this pa
per would have been given to the
man who defended his home and
property. That Graft met his death
as he did is but the legitimate result
of his own lawless acts.
The decision of Justice Henley, dis
charging Mr.. Pearson from custody,
meets with the hearty approval of
nearly every citizen of Elko. That it
will be upheld by large majority of
the law-abiding citizens of Elko coun-
ty, we do not doubt.

AN UNsPEAKABLE EVIL

This city is afflicted with all odious,
odoruus, unhealthful. illegal and wholly
inexcusable nuisance that Years its dis
susting presence in several hundred va
cant lots and innumerabls back yards
the garbage heap. 1t is the distributor
of offensive smells, the breeding spot of
disease germs and the rendezvous OF myr-
lads of pestiferous insects that radiate
from it to the homes OF the people unfor-
tunate enough to be in the vicinity and
who may yet not be responsible Tor its
existence.
Tne fact that the intolerable oftense is
80 much in evidence shows that the mu-
nicipal law prohibiting its maintenance
is widely violated; that the men whose
business it is to collect garbage are neg
Letting their duties. and that good
many people are unpardo1ably indiffer-
ent to some of the essentials OF decsncy
and health.
The dumping of house cleanings and
kitchen refuse on adjacent lots or the re-
tention of the stuff in back yards to be
burneu at intervals, or may be not at all,
is too reminiscent of the village era to
find practice in these days. when Los
Angeles has advanced SO far along the
line to the goal of metropolitanism. The
city government long since made such
disposition unnecessary by contracting
for the periodical removal and cremation
Of garbage.
The citizen who is neglected by the
garbage contractor can very speedily have
such neglect remedied, and if he does not
do so voluntarily the board Of health
should see that he is made to. Both the
health and police departments can work
some excellent reforms in this field. By
al means let US keep the city clean. For
this citizens of all kinds, co1ly and IN.
godly, should stand. If for no other rea-
son tnan that by so doing We keep it
healthful.

cOREA'S MURDERED QUEEN
Suffered at the Hands OF the Japenese
Soldiery
A Circumstantlai Account Which Would
Appear More creditsbie had Il
not Been SO Long Delayed

MILWAUKEE, WIS.,, Nov.17. -Rudolrh
Nunnemacher. now visiting in Corea,
writes to the Milwaukee Sentinel from Se-
oul, giving an account of the murder OF
the queen early in October. He says that
the japanese were instigators OF the out
rage. The letter saws that oody OF Jap
anese soshi nom mitted the murder, and
they were backed by Japanese troops.
when they had gained entrance to the
queens apartments they found four wo-
men there and being unable to recognize
the queen, who had disguised herself,
they killed all four women. The bodies.
after having been slashed and stabbed,
were tied up in blankets. carried to the
court yard, saturated with oil and burned.
1t is reported that the queen was crematcd
alive, not having been dispatched during
the slauchter. The Japanese government
has started an inquiry and many arrests
have been made. An American general,
who has been acting a, vice mi ster of
war for Corea, IL said to have been an
eye witness OF the outrage. He was in
command of the guard and made heroic
resistance to the assault of the JAPANESE
in the palace. He came near being killed,
several bullets passing close to him.
Had he lost his llfa, the Japanese gov
ernment, the writer says, might have
found itself in serious complications
with the United States.

A JEALOUS WIFE GETS STABBED
She Tried to Keep Her Husband from Leaving
the HuuSe


Jealousy in a woman and drink IN a
man caused considerable excitement in
the neighborhood of Ninth street and
Broadway last night about 1880 o'clock.
Mr.. E. Melville got into fight with his
wife and stabbed her IN the left hand
with hunting knife.
1t appears that there wcs a woman in
the case. Mrs. Melville has thought for
tome time past that her husband has been
neglectng her for the society OF the other
female and last evening when be an
nounced his intention OF going out she
said he should not do so as it was to call
upon the other woman. She planted her
self in front of the door, trying to bar his
way. He had been drinking and at this
action of hi, wite's cot very angry anu
catching up the hunting knife rushed
anu stabbed at her. She tried to ward off
the blow and the blade passed through
the flashy lar: of her left hand. Not
satisfied with this Melville proceeded to
follow up his advantage by knocking her
down with his fit.
The screams of the woman aroused the
nei1 hborhood and an officer was sent Tor.
When Officer Richardson arrived he
found the woman suffering from the
wound, SO brought her to the police sta
tion where DR.. Bryant dressed the inlury,
and sent her home. Melville was placed
under arrest and charged with assault
with a deadly weapon. His wife said she
would not appear against him but as she
told the )ttCer at the house that she had
been cut by Melville and gave the name
of the woman in the case 1T ls proba bic
that the charge will be pressed anyhow.

COLONEL AND COMMISSARY
There is Sxirmishing Within the Seventh
Regiment

The rank and file of the Seventh In
tantrv regiment, n. G. c., have had no
such morsel of gossip to engross their at
tention IN and out of the regimental
armory for many day, than has proven
the commanding colonel's CONN unica-
ton TO his regimental commissary request
ing, as it is alleged, his resignation. The
fact that Lieutenant Ogden had been in
vited to seer his official connection With
the regmental staff was state secret Tor
several days. Ii was the heat and indls-
nation OF Ogden's friends within the
regiment which finally made OF the mat
ter pu Sic property.
Lieutenant Ogden has been a memher
of the regimental staff ever since the res
ignation from the rank OF Lieutenant
now adjutant general, a. W. Barrett.
His record as a soldier and officer is OF
the best, and Colonel Shrieber's action In
requesting his resignation Is not geaer-
ally approved OF inside the reglmen'.
The regimental colonel names his own
staff, the personnel of which has to be, Ut
course, approved by the governor acting
as commander in chief. 1t is a rare in
stance where militia officer requests an
inferior in rank, who is his own crea-
tim, to step down ana out
Colonel shredder, when seen by re-
porter on SATURDAY., would not admit that
He evaded a direct answer to the ques-
ton and was very non cOmmittal as be-
comes a militia officer OF his high rank
and station. The colonel of the Seventh
did condescend after a great deal OF SPAR
ring, to ask of the reporter what would
be his course of action should he hind
that an employe had spoken disrespect-
fully of him. The newspaper man declln-
ed to give any advice in the premises,
and then Colonel Shredder wrapped
about himself the raoiturnity OF Napoleon
Boneparte while the world moved on
Just as it has been in the habit OF doing
for 10 these many years.
Lieutenant Ogden when seen also de.
clined to discuss the little friction which
has just arisen between himself and his
superior officer. HIS intimate friends
say that Ogden intends TO leave the city
about Dece Der let for the purpose OF
being absent for some considerable time
in the northern part OF the state. If lie
really does leave, he will, OF course. sever
his connection for the present with the
seventh regiment. If he fails u CO. on
the other hand, it Is intima ted that Lieu
tenant Ogden will continne to act as reg.
mental commissary until such time as
his colonel may choose to dlsplace HIM
through the aid of court of inquiry.
Colonel Shredder expresses himself on
the contrary as being thoroughly con-
WINGED that at the proper time he will
have the resignation of his lieutenant
and commi ,sary, indicted according 10
regulations and duly filed with himself.
