KILLED AT THE CHANDLER.
A Much-RespectedC Citizen Loses His Life
Saturday Morning.


Saturday forenoon Nels Magnuson,
an old and trusted elnploye of the
Chandler Iron company, was almost
instantly killed by being struck on
the head with a piece oflagging which
had been sent down the timber shaft
at No. 5. As near as Wecan ascertain,
Magnuson was waiting for timber
and had gone to the timber shoot to
see if any was coming. He looked up
the shoot and had no sooner done so
when piece coming down struch him
on the head smashing his skull in 4
frightful manner. He was picked up
and taken TO the ShipDan hospital,
but life was extinct before reaching
there.
Nels Magnuson was a familiar fig
ure about Ely, having resided here
almost since the city organized. He
was an industrious and respected citi-
zens and has for years held trusted
position with the Chandler. He was
of Swedish extraction, a man about
81 years of age and leaves wife and
three small children, the youngest
about three weeks old to mourn his
tragic end. Mrs. Magnuson is at
present very low with consumption
and feels the loss heavily
The funeral occurred Sunday after
noon from the VI. E. church. In the
absence of the regular pastor, Samuel

INDIANS FEEL GOOD
The Annual Payment to the Indians IN
This Vicinity Ordered at Last.

This Vicinity Ordered at Last.
A good deal of uncertainty and dis
abstraction has been rife lately among
the Indians tributary to Tower and
Ely and the traders who have been
trusting them for goods for the last
year says the Journal. The reason
for the feeling was the circulation of
rumors to the effect that there would
be no Indian payment this year. The
rumors proved to have a foundation
from the fact that Capt. Scott, In
dian agent Of the La Pointe agency
had received Instructions from Wash
lngton to inform the Indians that
they would receive no money payment
this year. The order came at a most
inopportune time, for the scarcity of
wild rice and berries this year had
made the Indians almost totally de-
pendent upon the payment. 1t appears
that under the original treaty twenty
five per cent Of the money due the
Indians was TO be kept back for edu-
cational purposes, but this proviso
had been overlooked until the new
administration took hold of affairs.
Upon discovering the clause in the
treaty the Indian department decided
that the only way to retrench was to
Withhold the payment this year. and
the order to Capt Scott was the result.
Capt Scott upon receipt Of the order
made trip to Washington to consult
with the authorities there and repre-
sented very strongly the restitution
which would prevail should the pay
ment be stopped. as well as the injus-
tice to the traders who had supplied
goods TO the Indians on the faith of
the payment. Capt Scott stated to
the department that starvation and
suffering would certainly oyertake
many of the Indians, and put the
matter so strongly as to say that it
would be more humane to order
regiment up here and shoot the In
dams down than to leave them to
starve during the winter. Upon the
strength of these representations
reconsideration prevailed and as the
papers state that Capt. Scott will
proceed to Grand Portage next Fri
day to pay the Indians at that point
it seems probable that the payment
viii now be proceeded with. The in
justice of giving no notice of thestop-
page OF the payment might have had
serious result as already some i'm
pressions had gone forth among the
Indians to the effect that the new
school at Sucker Point was to be built
with the money which they consid-
cred should have been paid over to
them.

--
The attorneys for the Borrego gang
of midnight assassins at Santa Fe hold
that murder in q Territory constitutes
an offense against the United States,
and rely upon a precedent established
by President Arthur and Attorney
General Brewster. sixteen years ago,
wherein, after repeated respites by the
governor acting under direct orders
from President Arthur, the latter is-
sued a presidential proclamation COM
muting the death sentence Of one Kelly,
a murderer, to life imprisonment. 1t
was in this case that Tom Catron has

Washington . brief, denying the right
Of the president to interfere. Kelly
killed a miner at CerriIlos IN q drunken
brawl, and after fourteen years, was
pardoned out Of prison.
On the other hand, the law officers
at Santa Fe contend that this is in no
sense an offense against the United
States; that congress is vested alone
with authority to establish rules and
regulations governing the Territories
and that these rules, among other
things, give the governor exclusive
power to interfere with the mandate OF
the courts in criminal cases arising
under Territorial laws.

r AND JUSTICE.

mhIOOA ANIL OO04AO0s
There are some phases of the Bore
60 case, at Santa Fe, that make
consideration of the relative require
ments of justice and mercy proper, al
applied to present conditions in New
Mexico. THE OPTIC has no disposition
to criticise unduly the action OF higl
church dignitaries, who have deemed
it to be their duty to interfere in mat
ters entirely OF state, but it must be ap
parent that in all matters judicial, il
has been the policy Of the states, al
well as of the general government, tc
entrust them with the courts. 1t is tc
the courts we mustlo look tor the enforce.
ments Of the laws, for the protection to
life and property and for the punish
ment Of crime, without which, the
whole Territory will be over-run by
the lawless elements and assassination
will be the rule Of the hour.
II the courts are to be criticised at
all, 1t is because they have not more
vigorously enforced the criminal law
and punished murder. The church,
both Protestant and Catholic, instead
of seeking to shield men who have
been guilty of murder, should give all
the moral power which it possesses to
uphold and strengthen the hands Of the
judicial department, in its effort to
make life more secure in this Territory.
The criminal classes must be suppress
ed, il we expect people of progression
and enterprise to locate with us and
aid In building up the country. The
laws should be 80 thoroughly enforced
that every man when he lies down at
night, whether in the towns and cities,
or upon the plains, may feel secure
from the attack Of the midnight assas-
sin. Unless the public is aroused so
that sentiment shall demand such an
enforcement of the law, the Territory
might as well be turned wei to thieves
and assassins.
Look at the Borrego cases in the
light of our recent history Look at
the murderers abroad Ia our land, to-
day. unpunished! Mention OF a few may
serve to awaken some interest on this
subject. Only a few years ago, Dan
Young, q prominent citizen and official
Of Union county, was murdered in
open day, in his wagon upon the
public highway. No one can forget
that in his own home, with his children
clinging about him, John Doherty was
cruelty assassinated by a shot through
the window of his Office. He was an
ex-sherIff and was murdered In his own
home. Frank Chavez was decoyed into
the presence of a lot Of cold blooded
assassins, and cruelty shot down, with
in q few yards OF his own door, the
crime being covered by the darkness
Of the night. Colonel A. ]. Fountain,
