to astonish the people. It was deed of as
signment, conveying his house and lot, his
sonal property Of every description, to DR..
John II. McAden trustee. The explanation
for the assignment was that Holland owed
the bank and others debts that he could not
paw. and to secure these debts. he placed his
property in the hands OF trustee.
For week previous to Hollands assign
ment a national bank examiner, had been
going through the banks Of Charlotte. He
examined the Merchants & Farmers Bank on
Friday. and found an error Of 81 in the cash.
Early next morning, he appeared at this
bank, and caught the cashier mapping.
Instead of an error Of 81, he found short
age OF 1000. Monday, it transpired that
Holland was defaulter. Then 1t was that
the surprise over his assignment gave way to
astonishment. He had borrowed SIS. 1000 to
make his cash account tally when the bank
examiner came along. He thought that the
examiner had finished and gone. and not
anticipating another visit next day, Rad re-
turned the borrowed $4,000 and when the
examiner stepped in the next day, Holland
was caught in trap. The $4,000 shortage
thus being discovered. the examiner went to
work in a mcthodical way, and item by item

the snm ran from $4,000 to 100000 and
finally to s95,O0o. In the meantime: Holland

Tuesday night, April %, he disappeared from
his home. The bank offered reward Of
81 900 for mis- capture, but no trace OF him
could be found.
On Sunday night 2sth, Holland surrendered
himself. ard it transpired that be bad been
in hiding under friendly roof in Charlotte:
He was Jailed. waving examination, his bond
was fixed at $4,000. twenty-five citizens
OF the town signed his bond, and justified, in
the aggregate, in the sum Of $1,000. HoI-
land was released from jail and at once went
TO his home One point still remains a
mystery, and may remain so for all time.
What did he do with all mis- money? Figure
as be ,say his friends cannot account for it,
and the conviction is forced upon many OF
them that Holland has q nest egg hidden
away somewhere.

QUARANTINED CATTLE.
An Infected Herd Landed at Bisbee
 for Sonora

In view of the quarantine regula- t1ons now being enforced in many states, the livestock sanitary commits sion of Arizona is now using the most stringent precautions to keep this territory in the full enjoyment of the freedom of shipments now accorded it throughout the west.
 A week ago note was received by Territorial Veterinarian Richmond from G. B. Snyder, a Texas cattle breeder, asking permission to ship through Arizona a carload of high grade bulls. destined for Snyder's cat tie ranch just below tie line in So nora.
 The veterinary report forwarded not being satisfactory, Snyder was noti- fled by telegraph to hold his cattle, but the car was already on .he way.
 Telegraphic information was yester- day morning received that the cattle had been unloaded at Bisbee. The cattle inspector at that point was promptly wired to quarantine the herd, and Dr. Richmond left last night for the south. The quarantine will be continued till the cattle are out of the territory and even the land over which they pass will be quaran- tined against.
 Governor Torres of Sonora, has been advised of the proposed drive and wires that the cattle will be shot if they are driven across the border.
 So it is likely that Texas, in this regard, will soon again claim her own.
 There is no Texas fever in Arizona and the disease will be kept cut if the sanitary commission can prevent it.

LIBEL.

For the first time in the history Of
The News, under its present manage
ment, this newspaper is sued for libel.
The suit is brought, according to the
writ, by vi Count FRoNsAc and damages
are laid at five thousand dollars.
We do not know what We have done
10 offend the vi Count FRoNsAc, as the
basis of complaint is not mentioned in
the writ. The management of this
newspaper has ever designed to conduct
its columns with malice toward none,
and knowing nothing Of the vi Count
FRoNsAc, we certainly would not he dis
posed to either offend or please him.
The good hearted pedestrian who In
his walks abroad carelessly treads on
the humblest worm has cause for
sincere regret.
We sympathize with the vi Count
FRoNsAc in whatever misfortune may
have come to him through
our unwitting act. We don't like
to do anybody any kind of an injury,
but more especially are disposed to re-
gret an unintentional injury. But in
this case we feel that whatever calamity
has come to the vi Count FRoNsAc
through anything printed in the
columns of The NEWS is minor mis-
fortune by contrast with his folly in
running mp bill Of legal expense by en-
gaging in a law suit.
Our attorney, DEXTER b. POTTER.
Esq, has our writ in his inside pocket,
and we shall have nothing more to say
on the subject, although we have nat
urai curiosity to discover what
kind of a fellow this unfortunate
vi Count is, and to satisfy that curiosity
shall undertake to look him mp. He is,
to our mind, a very foolish individual,
at best, and to that extent we have moth
ing but sympathy for him.

WITH OR WITHOUT.

Observes the Woonsocket Call, usually
a cool-headed sort of a newspaper: "The
Pawtucket Post learns that nine persons
killed and fourteen injured is the record
made by the fenderless trolley car in
this State in j9l And still there is not
a city in the State that compels trolley
companies to equip cars with tenders"
Assuming the correctness of The
Posts figures, it is also fact that since
the summer of 1892, 104 persons have
been killed by the trolley cars in Brook
lyn, and Drookly trolley cars all carry
tenders. The fender question seems to
be wide open for discussion still. Much
probably depends on the kind of a
fender, but, also. it is question whether
the use Of the tenders is not absolutely
dangerous, in that persons desiring TO
cross track in front of trolley car will
not always take into account, in figuring
distance, the fender that sticks out in
front Of the car.
The chances are, it will be agreed, we
think, that cars equipped with tenders
will knock down more people than cars
that have no tenders. OF course, once
knocked down, the chances may be that
the fender will save hfe-if it is that
kind Of fender.

That is an amazing situation that is
revealed in the discovery of gang of
fire bugs at Mount Vernon, N. Y.
II appears that the gang is branch
OF a gang which has its headquarters in
New York city. According TO the New

asecret society, establishing It's branches
wherever profitable field Of operations
offers and employing travelling agents.
The ebject of the order is arson
and the making of money
cut of the insurance. Their out
rageous planning takes no heed OF
human life. The arrests at Mount Yer
non and elsewhere have been many, but

work in other places.

STATES RIGHTS AGAIN.

The shooting down of an Englishman
in the murderous attack OF white
laborers on negroes in New Orleans. aud
the lynching of Italians in Colorado, call
attention again to the peculiar situation
that exists between federal liability and
state responsibility. Indemnity may be
claimed ON behalf of these foreigners,
by their governments as it has been
claimed before in similar cases, and the
United States Government will not hesi-
tate to pay just claim. AT
the same time, the national govern
ment is not responsible for the
shooting of these foreigners. The States
Of Louisiana and OF Colorado were the
caretakers of these lives, but there is
no way in which the federal government
can make itself good for such loss in
flicted on it by the laxity Of State au-
thority, any more than by federal courts
or troops it could have usurped the
function Of the commonwealth to pro-
tect the lives of the victims and so pro-
tect itself.
Attention has before now been called
10 TINS peculiar condition. The United
States Government, debarred from af-
fording protection to foreign citizens in
the respective states, except in an extra
ordinary emergency, is still held respon-
sible for injury to the life and property
of such citizens due to the lack OF
protection afforded by the states. In
this way a weak or malicious executive
of State or municipality, or the absence
of the recognized safeguards to life and
property in the commonwealth or the
city, may make good deal of trouble
for the federal government and cause ii
to suffer damages where it is in no way
responsible for damage done.
1t is quite a problem TO enact legisla-
tion to meet this situation that shall not
infringe on the rights of states. always
guarded with SO much jealousy, but
evidently legislation is necessary to har-
monize Government responsibility and
Government authority.
