unureceden,ed Heated Spell.

The weather here Thursday Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday last was warmer than it has been
for many years, and, so far as we know, warm
er than it has ever been at this place before at
any time of the year. and what makes it the
more remarkable is the fact that it occurred
so late in September, and continued such
length of time. Our thermometer is where it
has been for many years, and during that time
it has never registered, even for a single day,
as high temperature as it did on each of the
days above mentioned by about five degrees.
On each of those days the maximum was
about 100 degrees as registered, though an al
lowance of some or degrees should be made
for reflected heat, though the thermometer is
in the shade all the time. This weather Hicks
should have foretold, but he did not

MIDDLEBROOK AND VICINITY.

The village people were shocked last week,
by the death of Sylvester Hill He was a
young man, and everybody liked him. He
had fever. He was a generous-hearted boy
His parents have the sympathy of all in their
bereavement. The interment was at St. Johns;
services by Rev. Ballet. This is the second
young man inside year, to be claimed by
death from this village, and in the same way.

good health. are no assurance of long life.
Therefore, it is best for all to be ready when
the summons comes, for we know not the

Mrs VIM. Garrison, who has been so ill for
so long, died at the residence of Jacob Garrison,
near this place last Friday. The interlnent
was at st. Johns on Saturday. She leaves a
family of small children. She was Miss Willie

| sufferer, and everything that medical skill
could do to restore her, was done, but nothing
seemed to avail anything. This is very sad
dispensation of Divine Providence.
D. Mckenzie Smith and lady have returned

takes Clifton Forge to raise things, when they
take notion to do it. Why cannot the R, R.

Mr.. Jacob Sansibaugh. prominent farmer,

Some of the opponents of the exist
ing election law of the State assert that
it affords peculiar and tempting OPP
portunities for the preparation of
fraud" The law is the same in this city
as in any other portion of Virginia, but
if any republican, let alone democratic
voter, here, has observed that it af-
fords peculiar and tempting opportu-
mites for the preparation of fraud, he
has failed to say so. On the contrary,
as compared with the Malone election
law, or even with the Mccormick law,
it is model of fairness, and, so far as
law can prevent election fraud, seems
to the average voter to be as perfect
a means to that end as could have been

The Leather Trust.

Chicago, ILL.,, May "A local paper
says: Shoes nay 60 M III price
Leathei's rsice is skyward bound, and
as consequence footwear, especially the
cheaper grades, may rise also in cost.
Prices of certain grades of leather have
gone up 6 to 8 cents a pound, rise in
instances amounting to over go per cent.
Lower grades of shoes have advanced in
some cases Is per cent, and manufactur.
ers' agents in Boston are declining to

conditions which have mainly brought
about the rise.
A few weeks ago when it was discov-
cred that the shortage in cattle in this
country was an exceedingly serious fact,

that the market, previously apparently
full of offerings, had become compare

JUSTICE MISCARRIES.
John A. Roper, the Murderer of Sam
Steele, Walks Out Of Jail a free
Mana Peculiar Case.

Under an order from Judge Bantz, sit
ting in the district court in Sierra county,
John A. Roper, the murderer of Sam
Steele, at Las Cruces in 1898, was re-
leased from the Dona Ana county Jail
yesterday. The case was remarkable for
the fact that the prisoner was arrested,
tried and sentenced to be hung within
ten days after the killing. The evidence
against Roper was entirely circumstan-
tial. 1t was alleged that Steele, who was
a bright young man, was killed by Roper
while drunk and entirely without provo
cation.
The case came before Judge Bantz on
a motion by Messrs. Warren & Ferguson,
j. j. Bell and r. L. Young, attorneys for
the defendant, asking for his discharge
on the grounds that though more than
two full terms of court have been held
since the cause was taken to Sierra coun
ty on a change of venue the defendant
had not been brought to a speedy trial as
provided by the constitution of the United
States and the laws Of the territory. In
very full report of the matter the Dem
ing Headlight says:
1t is matter of common notoriety
that the cause of the delay in the trial Of
this Indictment has been the lack of pub
lie funds to defray the necessary expenses.
Particular stress is laid in the opinion
on the provision Of the sixth article of the
amendments of the United States consti-
tuition which provides that sin all crimi-
nal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy
the right to a speedy and public trial."
and that section of the statutes which
says "if any person indicted for any Of
| fense and committed to prison shall not
be brought to trial before the end of the
second term of the court which shall be
held after the finding of such indictment,
he shall be entitled to his discharge, un-
less the delay happens on hisapplication."
The blame is placed with the legisla-
tive power of the territory in plain Ian
guage, when the judge says: "The provi-
sion of adequate funds for judicial pur-
poses was not only possible for the terri
tory to make but was within the fair and
easy exertion of it's power, and it will not
do for the territory to arrest and i'm
prison the citizen and by refusing to fur
nish revenue to pay the expense of his
trial, arbitrarily keep him in prison term
after term and for an indefinite period.
If the limitation of the two full terms
provided in the territorial statutes can
be exceeded on such grounds, it is diff
cult to perceive any limit upon the power
of the territory TO detain prisoners with
out trial for years Under such circum-
stances it seems to me clear that the per-
son suffering imprisonment is denied the
speedy trial which the constitution Sc
cures and which the express law of this
territory has prescribed for the protec-
tion of her citizens"
just what effect his release will have in
the matter of another indictment is a
question which no oneappears to be able
to answer. 1t is matter which involves
questions which will undoubtedly re-
quire a judicial decision to determine.
