Dear Free Press

We went away from the scene
with a higher estimate of the
heroism of the cowboy, ranking
him now with the soldier and fire
men. Everywhere their camps
and ranches were thrown open to
us. We were even invited to share
the hospitality of their beds and
tables. Such an open, reckless
generosity at once makes a friend
of a stranger, so that in that
sparsely settled country to meet a
man is to find friend. We pass
through the border of $4,000 square
miles of fine forest. In the Ian
guage of Governor franklin "It is
vast timbered plateau, the bor-
ders of whose virgin garments have
never yet been touched by man.
When railroad shall have found
place to drop down past the rim
of the Mogollons, then and not till
then will 9he door of this untold
wealth be unlocked to the world.
These pineries are idly soughing
out their lullsbys to the fawn of
the deer, the cub of the bear and
the whelp of the mountain lion
and will so continue till heroic
enterprise shall open market for
them to the rich valleys of the
south.
We learned at Flagstaff that
there was no water at the Grand
Canon so we provided barrels to
take supply with US. At Cedar
Springs, the last watering place this
side of the canyon, we took on
water to our utmost capacity. The
road is excellent and we made the
remaining 81 miles Of our journey

caught glimpses of the beauty as
through a veil. The approach is

upon Napoleon's coherts at the

A vast intrenchment is before and

The Competitor and the vlrglnIus.


Interest in the Cuban cause has centred
this week in the effort of the United States
government, through Secretary Oiney, to
stay the execution of the five American
citizens who were captured on board the
filibusLering steamer, Competitor, and who
were condemned and sentenced to death by
Captain General Weyer.
The matter was referred to the Spanish
government by Minister de LONE, our gov
ernment claiming that the prisoners were
entitled to a civil trial rather than a sum-
mary trial by court martial. General Wey-
Ter protested against interference of Secre-
tary Olney and asked his government to
approve of the sentence, declaring that if
the prisoners were not executed in accord
ance with his decree he would resign the
captain-generalship. The supreme council
of the army and navy, however, has post
poned the execution of the sentences and
ordered General Weyler to remain at his
post. Popular feeling against the United
States is again intense in Spain and there
is danger of a repetition of the disgrateful
demonstrations which were enacted when
the United States Senate passed resolu-
tions favoring recognition of the belliger-
ency of the Cuban insurgents.
The case of the Competitor recalls the
Nirginius incident of 1873, when the Span
ish government captured the vessel of that
name and put,to death many of her Off
GERS, crew and passengers in a summary
and brutal way at Santiago de Cuba. Our
government protested without avail and
President Grant said in message to Con-
gress that the men were executed with
out due process of law" The boarding of
the Virginius on the high seas was of it.
self an insult to the United States, but the
manner of the executions was also univer-
sally condemned at the time as an act of
inhumanity which civilization could not
condone. he United States demanded
the rest ..tion of the Virginius, the sur
render of the survivors of the crew and
passengers, the punishment of the uthori-
ties who had condemned and executed
those citizens of the United States who
were slain, and the payment of an indem-
nifty TO those entitled to naturalization.
Spain complied with these terms.

HudYnrd lIIplInu,

The newspapers have had their innings
with Rudyard Kipling this week, and his
unfortunate complications with his broth
er-in-law have been "worked for all they
were worth" with big headlines, racy writ
ing, and illustrations taken on the spot
by our special artist" For reasons which
Mr.. Kipling himself doubtless knows very
well, the reporters have seen here a chance
to "get even" with him, while at the same
time exploiting a choice though very
ephermeral sensation, and they have not
been slow to make the most of it. We
have no quarrel with the newspapers for
their work, except so far as they have
made it appear that Brattleboro public
sentiment is hostile TO Mr.. Kipling and
chershes a dislike for him. Against any
such statement or impression as this we
wish to hmake an emphatic disclaimer.
And we doit in behalf of the good fame of
the town.
Mr.. Kipling came to Brattleboro young
man of only 20 or 81 years, but holding
even then an enviable place in the literary
world, and it was matter of local pride
that he found here attractions which made
him fix his residence near this village. He
has chosen to live his life in his own way,
and the Brattleboro community have re-
spected his reserve. Whatever rebuffs am
bilious interviewers from the city press
may have invited, Mr.. Kipling's townsfolk
have given themselves no occasion for
grievance in this respect. He has under
taken no social responsibilities and has
made few personal friends, but these few
have found him the most genial and de-
lightful of men. What seems to us his
unfortunate way of meeting the we'll
meant advances of newspaper men and
would-be friends of the literary guild when
he first came to this country won him a
reputation for exceeding brusqueness, and,
in the public mind this covered and sunk
out of sight the sensitive, appreciative
and intense temperament which intimate
friends know him to possess, and the mark
of which is found on all his best work.
The Brattleboro community recognizes,
with every other community of intelligence
and refinement, the brilliancy of Mr. Kip
lings literary genius. Our people feel a
becoming pride in the high place which he
holds, among men and women of letters
everywhere, as master of the art of using
the English language, and they would
count it cause for regret and humiliation
should Mr.. Kipling now be led to feel that
the sentiment of Brattleboro is unfrendly
to him, or that in remaining here he would
be subject to annoyances which the COM
munity would countenance.
Mr.. Kipling may rest well assured that
no public sentiment exists here which
would tolerate any attempt to annoy him
or make life burden to him. Brattleboro
folk hope that "The Naulahka" will long

the book are written, but it will now be laid

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL.
THE CLAM-BAKE SEASON.
opens with New and Entertaining Fea
lures.

ODthh NlNn NEW anu en-
lures.
The clam bake season opened yesterday
when a select company of ladies and gem
ilemen, members of the Trout and Salmon
club, and guests from Brattleboro, Spring
field and other places, drove to the Marlboro
South pond preserve where a spread was
served with the traditional furnishings and
accomplishments, as is understood, and an
outdoor outing was enjoyed. During the
afternoon a new feature of entertainment
was provided, which may or not become
popular as the season progresses. At an
opportune moment Deputy Sheriff Starkey
appeared upon the grounds and was cor
daily welcomed as a belated wanderer.
The accounts vary as to exactly what hap
pened, but according to the most reliable
memoranda to be obtained the chef of the
feast made haste to produce bottle of
liquid nourishment and offered it to him
to revive his soul after the long and dusty
drive. The sheriff hesitated for one brief
instant, and then, with sigh of regret,
said something about that not being what
he had come for, fumbled in his pocket,
said something about warrant, produced
document and began to road it. At this
moment the chef (or somebody else) seized
by an unaccountable impulse, smashed the
bottle of nourishment on a rock and ran
for the woods. 1t is said that Immediately
after this Mr. Starkey and Mr.. Houghtor
the keeper of the preserve, shOyeied over
the sawdust in the ice-house, after which
this feature of the entertainment came to
an end.
Later investigation shows that Mr..
Starkey was armed with document COM
monty known as a warrant of search and
seizure, issued by Justice Z. p. Adams of
Marlboro on a complaint signed by Joel p.
Butterfeld of that town, who affirmed his
belief that "intoxicating liquor is, by GER
tain persons, kept or deposited in and
about the fish hatchery and buildings of
the New England Trout and Salmon club
intended for sale, gift, furnishing" 8"
etc, etc.
A report, which lacks full confirmation,
is current this morning that Mr.. Starkey
made return on the warrant that he mad,
diligent search and found no intoxicating
liquors-except those which had been con-
sumed.
1t is singular fact that all the members
of the party were 'out on the pond" when
Mr.. Starkey appeared. This makes it very
difficult to get information which is abso-
lutely reliable.
There are people who think this Incl
dent indicates that some of the Marlboro
people do not truly love the Trout and Sal
mon club.
