THE PERALTA-REAviS CASE.

The United States grand jury in this
city has for several weeks been patiently
and extensively Investigating the vari-
GUS criminal charges against James Ad-
olson Perata. Reavis, upon one of which
he is now held prisoner in this city,
growing out of his laborious and mar
velous effort to establish purely ficti-
tious claim to some 100000 of the
fairest acres In Arizona, valued in round
numbers at the colossal sum of 100000
600. This Investigation has finally been
fruitful of indictments against Peralta-
Reavis, formally and distinctly charging
him, among other offenses, with uttering
forgeries, presenting fraudulent claims,
procuring witnessed to commit perjury
and conspiracy to defraud.
Peralta-Reavis is given to the free in
diligence in loose, misleading, mischiev-
GUS and often slanderous talk. His con-
fdence in the cunning of his tongue
seems to be second only to his faith in
his undeniable talent for clothing fc-
tions with the garments usually worn by
facts. At the time the United States
court of private land claims was created
by congress he plausiblY represented to
his numerous dupes, chiefly residents in
California, that the confirmation of his
IoJ NJ ha nf
the court; he next boldly proclaim ed
that, according to promise, the court had
actually been 80 constituted as to render
the confirmation of his so-cslled grant a
certainty, more than limiting that the
Judges thereof were his willing creatures;
and now, with his amazing structure Of
fabrications shapeless mass of ruins at
his feet as result of the able, honest and
untiring labors of the United States
prosecuting officers and the righteous
decree of the court he had insultingly al
luded to as composed of his creatures, he
has the unblushlng audacity to explain
the total downfall of his vast rretentions
by telling correspondent of the New
York Herald that he could have "fxed''
the court of private land claims and the
officers of the government who are still
prosecuting him by the use of money
and shares in his claim-that he is simply
the victim of lot of blackmailers wear
ing the prosecuting robes and judicial
e.mine of the United States.
This sort OF unscrupulous talk, evi.
IDENTIFY intended more for the ears of his
deluded victims than for the general pub.
lie, destroys such claims for sympathy
as sentimental people might otherwise
have set up in his behalf. 1t proves him
to be wicked and infamous slandereI
rather than the helpless creature of an
hallucination. It goes far toward estab.
fishing the very worst that has ever been
said or thought about him. The United
States court of private land claims and
the able attorney appointed to protect
the interests of the government before
that upright and learned tribunal need
no defense at our hands from the brutal
abuse of this disappointed and malignant
old man. Peralta- Reavis clearly needs
protection against himself

Surely something complete and
permanent will be done on the
Pail road by action of this Legis-
lature. Enough money has been
spent in surveys that amounted
to nothing and in beginnings
without endings, within the past
fifteen years, to have constructed
a carriage road over the pass as
good as is practicable. This is
not mere tourist road, but a
commercial thoroughfare of great
importance. So far as facilities
for viewing the grand scenery are
concerned, the road is good enough
as it is, so long as repairs of the
downward extension are maintain
ed. What is wanted is to make
the passage through the divide
safe for carriage traffic with as
easy a gradient as may be found
feasible.

FRIDAY, MARCH ID, 1896.

In its eagerness to work out its
self constituted role of special
guardian of the Government, the
Star misrepresents remarks made
by this paper on the defeat of the
Executives homestead law amend
ment. The BULLETIN distinctly
conveyed the opinion that under
our system, such rebuff did not
constitute an expression of want
Of confidence. Still it must be
said that it is not a light thing to
have a Government measure re-
iected by a unanimous vote or
even by large majority of the
House of Representatives. Great
importance was attached to the
bill in question by the Govern
ment. 1t was an important
measure, If, as the Ministers
declared, the opening up Of roads
through the homestead territory
depended upon it. The House
was of one mind, however, in in
sisting upon the policy, under
stood by its members to have been
the original one of the Executive,
of having q certain class of home
steads free for settlement.

contains provision, inserted at

he does so he is overriding his

An article in the Advertiser the
other day, commenting on the
certain passage in Congress of
the Cuban recognition resolution,
stated that Great Britain and
France recognized the Southern
Confederacy. This is information
received by the world for the first

by the South TO obtain recogni-
ton from Great Britain, but, al
though there was a strong party
in favor of granting the favor, it
was never accomplished.

Facts about a Watch
From n. Y. Commercial Adv

NEEOHl NJ Il huN.(
ga watch balance gives five
vibrations every second, 300 every
minute, $4,000 every hour, $4,000
every day, 157,6S0,000 every year.
At each vibration it rotates about
l ! times, which makes 1877, 100000
revolutions every year. In order
that we may better understand the
stupendous amount of labor per-
formed by these tiny works, let
us make a pertinent comparison.
Take for illustration a locomotive
with six foot driving wheels. Let
its wheels be run until they have
given the same number of revolus
ton that a watch does in one
year, and they will have covered
distance equal to twenty-eight
complete circuits of the earth"
What stupendous working
powers your tiny little ma
chine has; and how little at
tention you give 1t until it has
refused to 90 further. Tired
out" The accumulation of old
oil, particles of dirt, so minute
you can't see it, have so added
to its burdens, that it refuses
to 90 further. Now is the
time to send it to a watch
maker, not until now, for it
will no longer go as it should.
How much better to give it all
the attention it needs while it
yet can 90. Is it no better
than a common lawn mower I?
You give it less attention.
Would you think of running a
mower for year or two stea-
Oily every day without a little
oil, something to help it over
the rough places. Yet you
are letting your valuable little
time piece wear itself out, SIM
ply for want Of a little atten-
ton. 1t is our business to
take care of your watch. Only
expert workmen are employed
for that purpose, and what we
do is weIl-done. All compli-
Gated work finds it's way to orr
workshop, let US have some of
your easy work also, Don't
get into the habit of bringing
it to us after it has been
through the hands Of numer-
Gus others; it will be cheaper
for you to have it done well in
the first place,

Judge Perry has rendered de-
cision in the reSlevin suit of III.
A. Widemann VS.. T.. b. Thomas.
The property in dispute was the
Holomua printing plant. Mr..
Widemann lent $500 to the Holo-
mua Publishing Company on a
mortgage of the plant in May, 1894.
About the first of November the
same year Mr.. Thomas by his
attorney, j. A. Magoon, distrain-
cd the property for S105O rent,
but left it on the premises until
after its sale on March 20, 1895.
The Court finds that the dis
traint was illegal from the leaving
of the goods on the premises, that
it was not proved that the pro-
perry of the company was liable
for rent due from two former con-
Germs as well as itself, and that
the notice OF sale was not sufficient.
Judgment is given for plaintiiffor
$1,000. the value of the property
according to what it sold for, and
one dollar damages and costs.
