That is why he married beautiful
Snown without hinching; also why
refrain from mentioning his name ;
also why kissed the bride. I did not
yearn to kiss her. There we're others
who had claims on me, but did not
care to give needless pain to the groom,
and so did it. He had no money, but
said that he had a saddle which i'll
could use was welcome to. did not
have anything to put the saddle on at
home, but rather than return empty
handed, took it.

Justice of the Peace.

Edgar Wilson Nye, otherwise Bill
Nye, has been writing series of auto
biographies for the Century. From the
first paper we quote as follows:
81 forgot to say that the Office is not
salaried one, but solely dependent
upon the fees, the county furnishing
only copy of the revised statutes and
woolsack, slightly and prematurely
bald. So, while was called Judge
Nye, and frequently mentioned in the
papers with great consideration, l was
out of coal about half of the time, and
once could not mail my letters forthree
weeks because [ did not have the nee
essary postage. Friends in the eastern
states may possibly recall the time
when my correspondence from some
unknown cause seemed to flag. That
was the time. OF course l could have
borrowed money, but 1 had, and still
have foolifh horror of borrowing
money. I did not mind running an ac-
count, but l hated to borrow.
"The first business that / had was q

on the street. He asked if | could
marry people. said that could to
limited extent. He said that he wanted
to get married. asked him to secure
the victim and l would get the other
lie then wished to know
where my Office was. 1t occurred to me
at that moment that there was no fire
in the stove; also no coal; also that the
west half of the stove had fallen in dur
ing the night. So l said I would marry
them at their home. He maintained
that their home was over eighty miles
away and that it would consume TOO
much time to go there.

THE EDIToR's DREAM.

Twas Saturday night, the weeks work
was donei
The editor retired toseek neededrepose,
And thought that an editor (who NEEDED
gum
Hadn't such soft snap as one might
suppose.
He reviewed the week and what he
had said,
He'd noted the arrival fMiss So-and-so
And in memorium bad published that
Miss Blank was dead,
And the mines were all making very
good show.
He had written up tough town, their
quarrels and fights,
And offered advice on how things ought
to go,
And gave silver boost and defended
its rights,
And a squib giving praise to. our state,
Idaho.
And while he lay thinking he dropped
off to sleep,
And strange, ghostly visions to his bed
side did come,
Twas SO strange and SO awful it made
his flesh creep,
And with horror and fright he was
speechless and dumb.
For rising before him, at the foot of
tbs bed
With body and head and legs all
a-wobble,
Was form the editor had thought
long since dead.
And who now addressed him with an
unearthly "gobble."
"Twas you," said this form to the para
lized man.
"Caused my neck to be chopped and my
body to roast,
And next time you see Crosson just tell
him you've seen
And had quite talk with bis old COB
bler's ghost"
The form disappeared and in its place
came
Another which to him was more hor-
rible still,
Twas a woman who was said to be of
i'll fame,
And lived in tough town, near the De-
Lamar mill.
"You published my name in the MUG
GET" she said,
"When you knew it was wrong to
speak of me so,
l can prove that never from Virtues
path strayed,
And I'll lay for your scalp when you
come down below"
Again came change and a tin horn
appeared,
With a scowl on his face and blood in
his eye,
"You bounded me out of your village"
he said,
"Twas your paper, the NUGGET, that
caused me to fy.u
And in procession of ghostly array,
One form, then another appeared to view
And the editor laid and had nothing
to say,
For what the ghosts said was certainly
true. .
With start and ajump the editor woke 0
And, rubbing his eyes, looked round
him in vain, c
For his visitors all had vanished like l
smoke, u
And be turned on his pillow and SLIM Q
bered again.

By a ruling of Judge Baker yes. terday at Phoenix, in the U. s. court the Pima Indians were recognized as citizens of tbe United States. The tribesmen nearly 100 years ago were declared subjects of the king of Spain by royal edict. and the rights of citizens have been guar anteed them by treaties wherein Arizona was ceded to the United States. The point was raised in a case where a prisoner was charged with selling liquor to 8 Pima In- dian. The court instructed the jury to acquit, if it was found that the defendants transaction was with q Pima Indian. The matter will be finally passed upon by the supreme court in Jannary. The decission affects many thousands of Arizona Indians"
 This absurd choice morsel is go- ing the rounds of the territorial press. We know enough about Judge Bakers ability to be sure that he made no such ruling. Some young reporter sent this item flying over the wires "after dinner"

To Our Advertisers.

One of the secrets of successful advertising consists in keeping yolr establishment and the wares you have to sell before the eyes of the public continually. The great ad- vertisers of the country never cease reminding you of their existence. Their names, the location and na- ture of their establishments are thrust before you continually in the great daily, weekly and monthly publications, and at the moment you are ready to buy anything they have to sell, at that same moment the names of these advertisers flash before your minds eye, and uncon- scious of the influence their adver- tisements have worked upon you, you find yourself going to their places for what you require.-Ex.

The Republicans of St. John precinct held meeting n the cour house last Aonday evening, for thu purpose of organizing Republican League Club. When Secretary Pot ter called the assembly to order a 7 o'clock, there were between fifty and and sixty persons present among whom was fair sprinkling of boys and democrats. A temper ary organization was effected with. out much difficulty by placing Capt Hogue in the chair, and Jake Ar milo as secretary. Then. however a very spirited contest took place on the question of an interpreter which was finally settled by placing Recorder Gonzales in that import ant (for the Republicans) place.
 A democrat sitting next to the HERALD man suggested that the speeches should be in Spanish, and the interpreter should translate them into English for the few Anne. ricans present.
 However, from this time on the meeting moved along smoothly As in accordance with republican customs, the "bosses" had made up their slate and fixed everything foI the sheep to endorse by their re- sounding faye"
 The permanent organization ofthe club is as follows: President, J. T. Hogue; first Vice-Pres., Willard Farr; second Vice Pres, Luis Chav. es; Secretary, J. R. Armijo. The chair then appointed w. G. Scott, B. Schuster, w. Farr, A. F. Potter and Antonio Gonzales a committee to draft resolutions and bylaws. Judge Farr evidently considered himself inadequate for this belliger- ent duty, as in 8 short speech he declined the honor, but after the ''bosses" assured him that they had already "fixed" this,as they had the other affairs, he reconsidered the matter and retired with the con- mittee.
 While the committe were going through the farce of writing out their resolutions, the audience list ened very attentively to the Hon. Geo. H. Crosby, of Springerville, who congratulated himself on be- ing on the winning side. and the gracefulness with which he had flop ped. MT. Crosby did net refer very frequently to the last Republican legislature.

 At this stage of the proceedings for fear nf any hitch that the care- lessnesN of. the uninitiated.by cause, 8 member of the committee arose and made a motion that the report of hls committee be adopted, which mas immediately seconded by a couple of other members of the committee. This shows the great harmony prevailing.

A late dispatch from Solomon vile, Arizona, says: H. H. Merrill and his 16year-old daughter were murdered six miles west of Ash Springs Tuesday evening, and moe casin tracks, which were thick around the dead bodies, indicate it is the work of Indians. Sheriff Wight and posse took up the trail of the murderers Thursday, which leads north. Merrill, who was a farmer, came from Utah several years ago.-Williams News.
 Four more men are reported to have been killed by Indians belsw For. Thomas, on the Gila River. The men were miners. Sheriff's posses are in the field, also two troops of the Seventh cavalry from Fort Grant and a troop of cavalry from Fort Bayard, N. M,-Courier.
