CALLS IN coin FLOODED MURDER

n 81" MAAN"
The department Of justice has
received from the United States
district attorney and marshal Of
Wyoming, official reports Of their
Investigation into the Bannock In
dian troubles made by direction
Of the attorney general. The re-
ports are dated August %. The
district attorney of Wyoming re-
portsa as follows:
81 have no doubt the killing Of
the Indian Tanega, July 18th, was
an atrocious, outrageous and cold
blooded murder, and that the muir
der was perpetrated on the part Of
Constable Manning and his dep
uties in pursuance of a scheme
and conspiracy on their part to
prevent the Indians from exercis-
ing the right and privilege which,
in my opinion, is very clearly guar
anteed them by treaty. Should
prosecution on the part of the
United States be determined upon,
it would be useless to commence
it before a commissioner. As the
law now is we are bound to bring
the prisoners before the United
States commissioner nearest to the
place of arrest, and in this case it
would be before Mr.. Petigrew,
Commissioners at Marysvale. / am
informed he is thoroughly in sym
pathy with the settlers in that re-
gion and that he advised Consta-
BILE Manning and his posse that
the provisions of the treaty under
which the Indians claimed the
right to hunt upon unoccupied
land Of the United States had for
some reason ceased to be opera
tive. Hence, I think that to cause
the arrest of the men and take
them for hearing before this com
missioner would simply result in
their discharge. 1t seems to me
to be a great pity there is no nat
ional law which can be invoked
for the protection of these our do
nestle subjects, weak and defense.
less as they are, in their right to
enjoy these privileges guaranteed
them by solemn treaty, to the en-
forcement Of which the honor of
the country is pledged, and that
their only protection against for
chile resistance to their enjoyment
Of these rights must be found in
the courts of the state where
%juries will PROFESSIONALLY look
upon them as possessing no right
which the white man is bound to
respect"
The district attorney has been
advised hat the department cou-
ours with him in the opinion that
there is no federal statute under
which the offenders car be pun

Some time since A. B. Laird
entered SUIT before Judge Bantz,
in chambers, against the board Of
County commissioners Of Grant

said board TO levy a tax upon the
taxable property Of this county for
the purpose of paying off a judy

tanned against the county for
money due him on salary and fees
while sheriff and ex-oficio collec-
tor. The matter was taken under
adyisement and the court handed
down its decision on last Friday,
granting the prayer of the Pc
titioner, whereupon the following
action was taken by the board:
The board having this day been
served with a certified copy of the
judgment of the district court in
the proceedings of the Territory
of New Mexico on relation of An
drew b. Laird We. The Board of
County commissioners of Grant
County, ordering the issuance of
a peremptory writ of mandamus
to this board compelling it to levy
a tax to pay the Judgment hereto
fore obtained by said Laird against
said County of Grant it was upon
motion ordered: that the board
waive the issuance and service of
the peremptory writ Of mandamus
in said case, and that a tax sufi-
cient to pay said judgment with
interest at 6 per cent. from the
date thereof to the time when
said tax shall become delinquent

Our readers will remember that
last week we made mention of the
fact that much unpleasant feeling
was being expressed at Pinos AL
tos because of the action of Cover
nor Thornton in committing the
sentence of William Davis, the
murderer of Hugh Fox. This
was all too true. Through this
act this red-handed murderer will
soon gain his liberty. His SEN
tence at first appeared light
enough and now to reduce even
that, appears to be an open per-
version of justice. Time has been
in this Territory when to convict
a murderer of his crime, amount
ed, almost, to an impossibility,
and since that is true, it is the
prevailing opinion tibet the par
doning power should, in a meas
ure, be curtailed. Some of the
most noted criminals convicted Of
crime 10 this Territory have gain
ed their liberty through the par
doning power Of the Governor.
This is all wrong. II is easy to
imagine that the pressure brought
to bear upon the chief executive
to influence and temper his judg-
ment and duty toward the con-
demned is not slight, and yet af-
ter a man has been given a fair
and impartial trial, been adjudged
guilty, aud sentenced without
malice, no Interference in his be-
half should be tolerated

WHITTIER AXE WE DRIFTINGY

One need not possess the intelli-
gence of the average Chinaman to
observe that there is something
radically out of gear with our So
cial status as a people. The great
writers are evidently becoming
alarmed as they awaken to realize
the brink upon which we are stand
ing. One of these writers is DR..
Max Nordau, who says: Our age
certainly has individual features
in common with other ages, but no
time known to me, were there, in
addition to phenomena of mere
brutality and lewdness, so many
symptoms of organic ruin as now.
Infdelity cannot be the sole or
even the principal cause, for to
SUI so would be equivalent to
shutting ones eyes completely to
alcoholism and to overtaxation,
which are discovered as the aeti-
ology IN numerous cases."
Pick up any daily paper and in
its headlines viii be found fifty
proofs in support of the position
takan by Nordau. It will not
make one a pessimist to acknowl-
edge them. 1t should on the con-
trary animate us all to throw off
this moral paresis and change de-
generation into elevation, for sure
ly the curse of permanent decay
can not have struck at society's
roots. There are times perhaps,
when we imagine hat our whole
social fabric has been rent in twain
but the recuperative power of
Americans is something abnormal
and we manage to crawl out of
dilemmas and assert our suprem-
acy.
Still there are signs in the sky
that do not forebode the most
cheerful aspect. For instance, the
city of Boston has Just voted more
millions for school houses. We
have even now educated most of
our women into fddlers and music
teachers. Housekeeping is be-
coming a lost art. Men are fed on
cold pies, doughnuts, jealousy and
divorce, while the young men are
all MISUNDERSTANDING to gel
a living without work. Many OF
them would like to pattern after
the ancients and wear sashes and
parade like aMexican bandit chief
exciting the envy of other boys
and the admiration Of the fddline
girls. The dude idea which apes
fads and fables is altogether toe
prevalent in our American man.

There has never been a time
since the Lord found it necessary
to drown all creation (barring a

Mrs. T. Corbitt killed an unusu-

manner one day last week. One OF
her chickens had been killed, and
by way Of revenge on the feathered
marauder of the barn yard, Mrs.
Corbitt constructed trap out of a
hen coop and baited it with the
dead chicken. In short time his
hawkship was held a prisoner un-
der the improvised trap, and Mrs
Corbitt lost no time in ending his
existence with a hay fork.
