seat everywhere. With individuals this
is frequently the case, as it is impossi-
BILE to have the county court house at
every mans door. But | submit that
it is unfair and unjust to subject the
industry and trade of a whole COM
munity of thousands of people to this
unnecessary burden.
The simple logical remedy to right
all this wrong is to form a new county
with the county seat in easy access to
this large business community. With
this end in view we seek to estab lish
the new county OF Grant.
The people of the proposed new coun-
ty are not asking Pima county to carry
any burden for them. They propose to
pay their proportion of the existing
county debt, as is shown in sections II
and IS. The new county does not pro-
pose to shirk any responsibility. We
only ask to be allowed to depart in
peace.
There is no possible contingency
whereby the new county of Grant can
burden either the county of Pima or
the territory at large.
What We ask is no new thlng-it is
the history of all the states, at first di.
vided into large districts or counties,
when later they become settled-when
the population multiplies and towns
and cities spring up, the large counties
are divided and the county seat brought
nearer to the people. This is the
greatest sign OF prosperity any section
can have.
What can be said against this new
county? How can the seat of Pima
fairly object? Will they say we cannot
sustain ourselves? We refer to list OF
our taxable property to refute this
argument. Figures and statistics
prove that the property assessment

FIGHT ON 4 TRAIN.

Disgrnceful Conduct of Excursionists
While Returning from Big Quarterly.
West Chester News Tuesday.
Passengers on one of the trains up
from. Wilmington Sunday night were
treated to an entertainment not on the
schedule. 1t was genuine fracas
among the colored contingent returning
from Big Quarterly, which was held
inWilmington.
Ninety West Chester people, mostly
colored, were on the train, and all
seemed harmonious, as one of tie pas
sengers says, until Coatesville man of
sombre hue started through one of the
cars. He was challenged, and being
unable to give the password, or rather
to take himself one of the company,
some rough greetings were exchanged.
Instantly the air was filled with
shouts, threats, curses and blows. Some
men rose and stood on the seats.
women crouched below and pistols be-
gan popping.
Above the din could be heard the
screeching voice of big colored
woman who lent all the force of her
lusty lungs in cry for peace.
"Foh de Lawd's sake, gentlemen. "
she screamed, "Stop yo' fightin'.
Haven't you got no mo- sense than to
staht scrap right at de do so none Of
us can't get out?"
At the sound of ,the pistols she grew
still more excited, and called in her
high falsetto, "You can punch each
others faces all you please, but dom t
you go to shootin' or some of us inno-
cent people will git hurt. to
Several panes of window glass were
shattered, and the crowd about the
door grew larger as more men were
drawn into it.
Then one of the men who was not en-
gagged in the rumpus became alarmed,
and he cried in warming voice, Now
you remember, men, you are still in
Delaware and you may all git taken up.
I've served time at Dover and 1t does
beat all how they make you saw wood
and break stones. "
Even this appeal seemed unable to
move the men, and make them desist
from pummeling each other, though
the train hands were threatening con
tinually to cut off the car and allow it
to remain on a siding all night.
Seeing that some unusual measure
must be resorted to, the conductor ran
the train back to Wilmington, and
three officers were taken on board to
preserve tho peace.
After that the order was better, but
one rufiian who refused to keep quiet
caused some trouble to the officers, and
it is said that he kicked Chief Officer
JohnCollins in the side with such force
as to iniure a rib

Against the Accused Conclusive.
San Francieco, CAL, Aug. 22.--The
trial Of Theodore Durrapt will be re-
Rumed to-day, after delay of nearly
week, caused by the illness of Judge
Murphy. Tho prosecution accepted the
delay as an opportunity to take up the
thread OF several minor stories dropped
by the demand to pursue more vitality
important clues. Absolutely nothing
has been left undone to make the evil
dence against the accused conclusive.
Charles L. Hedemark and his wife
wore visited again by the prosecutors
and repeated the remarkable story they
related soon after Durrant, q arrest.
This story, so little thought Of at the
time. has gained significance in the
last few days, particularly in relation
to an important statement made by the
police. Capt. Lee and his associates
have said that they will show beyond
the power of contradiction the move
ments OF Durrant during every hour of
the day on which Blanche Lamont dis
appeared.
It is believed that they have wit
ness who sawaDurrant enter the church
between 9 and z O'Clock on the evening
Of April Sd. The dramatic story told
by Hedemark and his wife, tells what
followed. In the shadows of the church
they saw man moving from place to
place. As the darkness of night deep
ened they saw him in the galleries Of
the deserted place, guided in his terri
BILE work by the light Of candle.
At first the moving light behind the
great church window made them think
the church was on fire, but closer watch
ing quoted their fears and they con-
cluded that some one was repairing the
sanctuary. They had no suspicion that
they were watching the last gruesome
detail Of terrible crime.
The man whose shadow they saw, was
hiding the deadly record OF his crime.
He was busy among the rafters Of the
steeple, gazing now and then upon the
body of the girl whose life he had taken.
Subsequent events gave an intense in
terest to the part which HedemarlS and
his wife witnessed.

Victim Murdered and Crctnated There.
Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 81. In the
chimney OF little frame cottage,
standing at some distance form the
other residences of Irvington, a small
suburb of this city, detectives this
morning found the charred bones Of
little Howard Pietzel, one Of tho Hol-
mes victims. The find was the reward
of long and persistent search BY do
tective Geyer Of Philadelphia, who
came here six weeks ago and has been
working ever since on tho theory that
young Pitezel had been killed here.
To-day he and Inspector Carey found
the empty cottage at Iryington which
had been occupied by a man answer
ing Holmes description and little
search, and soon found a large stove
and the black trunk in which it had
been supposed that the body had been
shipped. Further search was rewarded
by the finding of number Of charred
bones in the chimney, together with
the buttons from the boys overcoat.
Evidently the child had been muir
dered in the house and his body ere.
mated there. The two came to the
house together, and were seen about
the place for week, when both dis
appeared and nothing had since been
heard Of them.
After the detectives left the Irving
ton House this evening DR.. ]. +. Barn
hill, one of the former owners of the
place, continued the investigation be-
gun by the officers, and thorough
search Of the house was made.
In chimney were found charred
bones, which, DR.. Barnhill says. there
can be no doubt are those Of a human
body.
Pieces of the skull were found, which
he says, are those of boy about the
age that Howard Pitezel was at the
time he disappeared, this fact being
judged by the thickness of the skull.
Pieces of the femur and other bones
were also found.
After bringing forth from the chin
ney enough of the remains to satisfy
himself that there could be no mis-
take, DIR. Barnhill came to this city
and made known the facts to Detective
Geyer.
The latter said there was no use dig
ging further in search of the remains,
as it was evident the chimney contain
ed the object of their search.
Tomorrow al the deposit Of the
chimney will be removed and care
