Concerning the Venezuelan War.

We have received from Hon. John
Davis an article of much interest con.
cerning the Venezuelan controversy.
We would be glad TO publish it entire,
but owing to it's length have found it
impossible. The following letter to the
CO-operGtOr is brief and pointed and
hits the nail squarely on the head:
"DEAR S1R: Your remarks on Cleve-
lands Venezuelan message, in your is
sue Of the 18th inst, are timely, correct,
and patriotic, provided Cleveland is in
earnest. But men who remember the
oligsrChlcal hoodoo OF 1844-6, respecting
the Oregon question, will hardly be
caught second time with chaff.
"The present plan 10 to be something
aS follows: The British lion is to shake
his name, switch his big tail aloft and
roar aloud, as to how he will trample the
little republic under foot. Then the
American eagle is to get excited, flap his
wings, show his beak and talons and
scream 'hands Off And after six
months, more or less, Of bluster and
counter bluster, the lion will drop his
tail and run to cover.
Then ell the world and even some
Populists arO expected to applaud the
heroIsIn and patriotism Of President
Cleveland and send his name laundering
down the ages, etc.
sin the meantime, all OF Clevelsnd's
past devilment will be condoned or for
gotten and several new cards will have
been played; and the Santa Fe railroad
will still publish on it's great advertising
folders the British lion trampling under
foot the map Of North America! And
British plutocrats will still manage for
US our American public highways and
American industries, generally, in their
own interest. JOHN DAvIs.D

know, making so much above the gov
ernment price on every entry.
The settlers now feel that the begin
ming Of the end is reached. For several
years past the Maxwell Grant Company
has given them no trouble. This indi-
Gates that the company has gracefully
accepted the inevitable, namely, the loss
Of the Colorado part OF their said alleged
grant. It indicates further, that the
Land Office is quietly disposing OF the
coal and timber as public land pre-emp-
tions and making good thing out Of it.
The moment this job is completed the
General Land Office, as the law requires,
will open the whole Of the Colorado por-
tion Of the alleged Maxwell Grant as
public land. The encouragement de-
rived by the settlers from this Land
Office procedure is expressed in these
words, Better late than never"

are credited with these amounts on the
books and receive a receipt from the

to an annual "sum of maintenance, y
This sum varies from $25 to $75 a

Amans. Article VII. says that
all children and minors of the society
shall, after the death of their parents,
become the wards of the Trustees, and
shall enter into the credits or liabilities
which their parents may have had in
the society. Article VIII. says that
seeding members, whether by choice
or by expulsion, shall be entitled to re.
celVe back the moneys they may have
paid into the common fund, and to in
terest thereon at a rate not exceeding
8 per cent. year, the rate to be fixed
by the Trustees. They are not, how
ever, entitled to any allowance for
services rendered to the society during
their membership, though the Trustees
may give them such an allowance, not
as q legal claim but as q gratuity.
These amounts, however, are not to be
paid outright, but in installments vary
ing according to the total amount.
The Board of Trustees is, as the con.
stitutlon shows, invested with almost
absolute control of the business matters
of the colony In general, but there is
also In each village a Board Of Elders
for the regulation of every day affairs.
These boards meet every day, and to
them all complaints and requests are
submitted. 1t would seem as If these
men must verify be inspired, Tor they
succeed In adjusting all the petty sf-
fairs of their big families without any
serious trouble.
How long this hslcyon state of things
will continue 1t is impossible to say.

of this sort may be broken up by half
q dozen restless spirits In the course Of

States to vacate the Maxwell COmpany's
bogus patent to the Colorado portion Of
the alleged grant, the General Land
Office was called upon to furnish certain
documents. Among these documents
were about thirty presumption patents
"on the grant" to coal land at Stark
vile, Colo, as agricultural land. Some
of these patents" were issued after the
Elkins survey and some OF them after
the issue Of the Maxwell Grant Com
pany's bogus patent.
Mr.. Peters, representing the A., 7, &
S. F., had gone on to Washington and
purchased these coal lands Of the Cen
eral Land Office as agricultural lands by
way Of patented pre-emptions in the
name of fictitious persons. How much
Mr.. Peters paid the Land Office for those
pre-emption patents above the regular
government price I am not prepared to
state.
The sale of lands within the north line
Of the alleged Maxwell grant as public
land, right in the face even Of the Maxwell
Companys "patent, +" implied q contract
on the part of the General Land Office
with Mr.. Peters, representing the A., 7.
& S. F., that the Maxwell Grant Com
pany should be compelled to treat those
thirty pre-emptions as public land. Only
on the basis Of such a contract would
Mr.. Peters have purchased that ''pat-
ented" grant land as public land.

is in substance the most direct and
hence. important testimony that will
be adduced. In brief the state expects
to show that the Staunton boys and
Melton were located on the disputed
property, and that Coleman hired War
ner and Wall to kill the former to get
possession of the claim; and that the
killing was done in cold blood.
DEFENDANTS STORY.
To believe the story of Coleman and
his associates in the Ogden jail the in
evitable conclusion would be that they
are the victims of most cruel circum-
stances. Coleman is an old prospector
and fairly we'll known in mining circles
He is a resident of Salt Lake, where
he has wife and family, and natu-
rally his friends are loath to believe
that ne can be guilty of implication in
such a dastardly crime as he is now
charged with.
Coleman's version of the circum-
stances leading up to the tragedy is to
the effect that last fall Robert Swift
discovered a fabulously rich mine in
Dry canyon, about eighteen or twenty
miles from Vernal. The strike was
made just as the stormy weather was
setting in. Some of the ore so the
story goes, went 5000 ounces in silver.
On account of the snow and unpro-
pitious weather, all work in the way of
establishing the location was aban-
doned
And so Coleman says that early last
spring, in company with Bob Swift, he
left Vernal for the purpose of relocat-
ing this valuable mineral ground. They
had a jack train and horses with them.
After stopping a short time in the vi
entity of Vernal they went over to
Dry canyon. Finding the snow still
too deep they returned and camped at
a ranch a mile or so from Vernal. Here
they met Richard and Isaac Staunton,
brothers, and David Melton, who were
also out on a prospecting tour, and
they pitched their tents near the Cole
man camp. Coleman relates that Mel
ton approached him with the PROPOSE
ton that the Coleman outfit should
hire them to work. This Coleman re-
fused to do, stating that his party
wanted no men, and that it was i'm
possible to do any mining at that sea-
son OF the year. Melton then, Cole
man says, informed him that
he must locate the Melton
Stanton party on the mine both par
ties were after, or else pay the
latter $500 to keep away for period of
ten days. Coleman spurned both pro-
POSITIONS. He then suspected that the
Melton party was after the same mine
that Swift is alleged to have discovered
the preceding fall
The Coleman party moved their camp
repeatedly but Melton and the Staun-
tons chung persistently to them and
could not be shaken off. AS the spring
weather set in the Coleman party
moved its camp, one Sunday when Mel
ton and his outfit was in Vernal, to
Dry canyon where they pitched their
tents on the side of the. gulch. Con-
graduating themselves that they were
rid of their prosecutors they returned
to rest. In the morning. however when
they awoke they were surprised to find
that Melton and his partners had fol-
lowed them and during the night had
pitched their tents on the opposite side
Of the gulch- Moreover, the Stauntons

referred them to the sheriff or his de-
putty. The next night Wall, Warner
and Coleman passed by his house,
which was on the road to the place
where the trouble occurred He no
ticed that Warner had a gun strapped
ON to his horse. He vas with them
in town when they bought some liquor
to take along. Coleman had said the
men ON the mountain wanted $500, but
that he did not like to give IT,
Mrs Russell. mother-in-law of Matt
Warner, was next called. She was in
Vernal at the time of the. tragedy. She
testified that Warner told her he had
received 800 from Coleman and was to
receive $500 more. He gave her 500 20

forenoon before the killing occurred.
