THE ATTORNEY RE-AFFIRMs.

THE ATTORNEY RE-AF'f1RMS.
Reporting on the resolution of Com
missioner Hall relative to the tenure
of Office of regiStra ion agents appoint
ed by the old board of county commits
sfonerg, the county attorney re-
affirmed his opinion of six weeks
ago and stated that he had moth
ing to add to that opinion, as pubilsned
in Wednesdays Herald, which was to
the effect that the official term of reg
is;ration agents had expired by legis-
latiYe enactment. thus necessitatnS
the appointment of an entire new set
on a basis of the Democratic majority.
Commissioner Hail stated that his
belief was that the board is entitled
to an opinion from the attorney gen
eral, the states attorney. inasmuch as
he had rendered a conflicting opinion
on a similar matter under like condi-
tions. He was also certain that cog
nizance should be taken of Judge Ro-
lapp's decision relative to the term of
office of fish and game commissioners
Commissioner Rawlins expressed
himself as having modified his views
upon more mature deiberation. and
particularly since hearing so many
conflicting legal opinions on the ques-
ton.
Chairman Armstrong agreed with his
colleagues that it would probably be
more prudent and lawful 10 permit the
registration agents to serve out their
full two-year terms. except in cases OF
resignation, removal OF other DISABLE
ity
After a little further discussion the
attorneys report went over to be con-
sidered at next Tuesdays meeting,
when a vote on the Hall resolution,
which faVors no change, will be taken

PEACE ABOUT RESTORED.

Helena, Mon, June 2.-The difficulty
between the white settlers and the
Cheyennes in the southwestern part of
the state promises now to simmer
down to a dispute between the state
and Federal authorities as to which is
supreme in the enforcement of the
law, and it is thought all danger Of
bloodshed is past, there being six COM
panies of regulars near Lame Deer,
and large force of deputies and arm
ed citizens near the edge of the reser-
walton ready to protect the interests
of citizens if the Indians should mani
fest warlike spirit. Gov.Smith while in
sisting in his correspondence with the
general government that the state has
power to arrest depredators decided
not to order the militia out, acting up
on the advice of the sheriff, and the
posse can do everything required when
the government comedies them the
right to go upon the reservations to
make arrests.

MAYBE MURDER, MAYBE NOT.
Prosperous Merchant Found Dying
With a Pistol by His Side.

San Francisco, June IA deep mys-
terry surrounds the death Of I. Hoffman
Of the firm of Hoffman, Alexander &
Co., clothiers, who was found last eve
ming with two bullet wounds in his
head in his office on Battery street.
He was not dead when found, but died
soon after on the way to the hospital.
When seen shortly after five o'clock he
appeared to be in the best of spirits but
1t is said that domestic matters hav>
troubled him lately and if it proves to
be case of suicide this will probably
be assigned as the reason for the deed.
The firm is one of the most prosper
Gus in the city and is well known over
the United States. About the last
person to see the deceased merchant
was his book-keeper, Theodore A. FL
gle. Figle left the Office shortly afr
five o'clock, but later returned and
when he was greeted by the Waterman
said that he had forgotten something
Later, passing the door, the watch
man tested it and found it partly open
and on opening it still further saw a
light in the back Office and thinking
Figle might still be at work latched
it so that it would make noise if any
body entered. On re-passing the door
he found it in a different position and
went inside to investigate. He heard
a noise and on going into the lighted
room found the dying man with one
bullet in the mouth and another
through the cheek. A. pistol was also
found. A shot had passed through his
hat. The police commenced an inves-
tigation Immediately, barring the door
and refusing admittance to all, even
the reporters. After two hours Chief
of Police appeared on the scene and his
shortly after which the reporters were
admitted.
To them it looked like a case of sui
eide. The detectives have spent the
whole evening examining witnesses
ard their action strengthens the theo-
ry of murder. The theory of murder
is supported by a surgical examination
| of the body which showed that the
| fatal shot was fired into the right
side OF the head, the deceased being a
| left handed man.

ed, a Scared lump of flesh. There is
no clue to the murderers who commit
ted the crime, but blood hounds are on
the trail.
George Kaufman was the son of
Tobias Kaufman, a prosperous farm
er living about five miles north of Ster-
ling He was % years old
Farmer Kaufman has two dwelling
houses with about a quarter of a mile
between them. He left his old home
for his present dwelling about a year
ago, but continued to use some of the
buildings attached to the former res
idence. Kaufman discovered that
thieves were raiding his granery, To-
Gated near the old residence. He ask
ed his son George to take UP his new
quarters in the deserted house and
are under suspicion but there is no
watch for the plunderers.
Several persons in the neighborhood
evidence to warrant their arrest.
Blood hounds were put on the trail
but so far without success.
The surrounding country is excited
over the brutal work of the criminals
and the friends of the unfortunate
young man are demanding vengeance
at the end of rope without the least
delay of the law.

San Francisco, Cal, June 2.-Theo-

of Blanche Lamont, who is now occu-
plying a condemned mans cell at San
Quintin, does not appear to be at all
depressed by his new surroundings.
Despite the fact that he was watched
by two guards he slept last night and
today, after an interview with one of
his attorneys he was quite cheerful.
1t is understood that his attorneys
will make a final ATTEMPT to prolong

CITY TOPICS.
SAN PEDRO PARK.

The fifty acre park embracing the
San Pedro springs is one of the most
beautiful natural parks in the United
States. 1t consists of a series of bro
ken limestone lodges, as background
or like the eyebrows to face; from
the foot of this ledge breaks forth nu-
merous clear springs of water. About
these springs is a forest of primeval
trees; live oak, pecan, walnut, cotton
wood, elm, blackberry, sycamore, will
low and other trees planted. A small
lake or pool forms above the old dam
that sends the water down the ancient
irrigating ditch. Mayor Callaghan
has taken this park under especial
care Neglect has told upon the park.
The old forest trees are being Slapped
by new vegetable parasite-it is a moss
orchid not the gray moss of the bot
toms but bunch moss, that fastens on
the outer limbs of the trees and de-
stroys life. Many of the trees in this
park are either altogether killed or
partially killed by this orchid. Trough
neglec the trees have been allowed to
rot out at the roots. In few years
the noble grove of forest trees would
be extinct. To preserve these trees
is now the especial care of Mayor CAL
laghan. The park force, consisting Of
two gardeners, with couple Of assist
ants supplied by the custodian Mr.. Joe
Cooley, are now at work, cutting off
the moss orchids, and trimming the
dead limbs from the trees. The hol-
lows in the trees are being filled with
cement, and the mayor will have the
naked roots of the trees covered so as
to protect this grove from certain de-
struction. The city gardener has
been at work for two weeks and has
made considerable progress. The
ponds are full of fish, and the park be-
gins to show the effects of care and
work. A suggestion is made that the
main pond or lake can be greatly en-
larged by placing the dam further
down the stream. The charging of
the lake will greatly improve the park
and double Its attraction. The San
Pedro park will become, If Mayor Cal
Iaghan can carry out his ideas. the
great breathing spot for our people: the
choice place for children and mothers;
the pleasure ground for the people. No
one can appreciate the importance of
the work now going on in the park I'M
less by personal inspection. Mayor
CallaShan is utilizing the small force
at his command, but the work of strip
ping the moss from the trees requires
tall climbing. How would II do to
utilize the hook and ladder fire COM
panles. 1t would give the fire boys a
good exercise. The preservation Of this
forest of original trees of the greatest
Importance. 1t would take hundred
years TO replace them If they were de-
stroyed.
