KILLING
[ Was Taken From 1 and Quietly.

 Tn attendance. The authori-
 eve that enough evidence has
 ecured to connect Merritt with
 llling and induce him to "squeal."
 removal from the county jail on lrsday night was accomplished with so much promptness and quietude that his attorney, G. P. Bullard, was not aware that he had been taken away until Deputy Sheriff Slankard x was on the road to Gila Bend with him. The purpose of< Sheriff Orme was to secure his examination at Gila Bend so that the witness could more con- veniently attend. And then it was thought that more direct pressure could be eXerted upon him in the vii cinity of the crime than at this dis tance from it. His attorney could have demanded an examination be- fore the nearest justice of the peace. As soon as Mir. Bullard learned that Merritt had gone he telegraphed to c. J. St. Claire Of Gila Bend to see EeTr1tt ana warn n1m nOI CO tdlh
 Ee the coroner's jury. Yesterday L6rning MT. Bullard received a reply /from Merritt saying that the deputy sheriff would neither let him deliver the warning to Merritt nor allow him to communicate with the prisoner. St. Claire is butcher at Glla Bend and while Merritt was there he stopped at his house. He is the man who said that Merritt left Gila Bend on the eastbound train, the night Pratt was murdered and so could rot have been in the vicinity at the time the murder was committed The authorities had a special purpose in preventing com munication between St. Claire and Merritt.
 One bit of evidence against Merritt is that he was seen grinding knife the afternoon before the killing Of htt. The knife, however, found Ear Pratt's body and With which his throat had been cut did not appear to lave been lately ground. Assistant District Attorney Kellum, for the ter itory, G. P. iBu1lard, Merritt's lawyer. and Sheriff Orme went to Gila Bend Hast night.

HOW CROSBY WAS KILLED.

The killing of Capt. Crosby. the
American newspaper correspondent
while. viewing an engagement be-
tween the Spaniards and Cubans, has
been a matter of great interest be-
cause of the refusal of Weyler to allow
anyone to communicate with General
Gomez about his death and burial.
letter from an American correspon-
dent gives the following account of
CrOsbys death:
1t seems Captain Crosby reached
General GOmez's camp on March 3 and
was killed on March s. The Spanish
column had been pretending to attack
for days. AS usual,t the rode out into
the midst of great pOtrrero, or pas
ture field, near Juan CriollO. while the
rebels stayed up in the hills near by,
and fired at them at long range The
Spanish formed a hollow square and
blazed away at the SKIES in reply.
Little harm was done on either side,
except the waste of ammunition. On
the third day some keen-eyed Spanish
marksman appeared to note the. posi-
ton of a body of mounted officers on
a hill, which consisted of Gen. Gomez
and part of his staff and Captain Cros-
by. At any rate three bullets in rap
id succession plunged into the group.
The first struck Crosby Just below the
eye and ranged upward, coming out
at the back of the head. He clutched
at his throat and fell forward, his spy
glasses dropping from his hand. A bu-
gler close by sprang from his horse
and caught him just as a second bull
let cut through the saddle he had just
left. The bugler would have lost leg
if h had been a moment later. He
eased Captain CrOsby's body to the
ground, but the latter was already
dead. A second later u third bullet
killed Gen. GOmezs horse. The old
warrior sDrang like a boy from the
saddle as it fell. The group then has
tily withdrew, carrying Captain Cros-
by's body with them. 1t was inferred
with military hOnOrs.

COL. MHUGO REMARKS.

From the Weekly Chronicle.
The Chronicle will ask its readers:
Can you see any good in disturbing
our present school system by putting
it through two costly elections, just
because one, two or a few of our men
teachers forgot themselves in the last
election and became political partisans
to defeat the candidacy Of Mayor Cal
laghan? Superintendent Smith tells
the people that our present mayor al
ways held our schools above politics,
but that his successors began using the
schools as political levers.
Mayor Callaghan's first announce
ment was that the schools would not
be disturbed until the opening of next
scholastic year so as to avoid any friC-
ton.
School should be free from politics,
but should not be manipulated for the
| selfishness of any one
That the idea to separate schools
| from politics is perfectly correct none
will doubt, and as our present mayor
| is determined to keep them separate
on the testimony of Supt. Smith it
seems that the effort for a separation
| should have been made when the heads
of our municipal government intend
ed to use them for political ends and
| not now.
| Professor Smith who has been the
| recipient of many favors from past
| and present administrations, ought to
have agitated these matters at a diff
ferent thine, for now, on his own ad-
mission, he does not believe Mayor Cal
laghan will let our schools drift into
| political channels.
An election proclamation under the
present agitation should read: ITO
ascertain If five men (trustees) can
better manage our schools than five
aldermen-school board with super
visory powers over them by the whole
4 city council"

OF all the ridiculous stuff put ont
by Democratic free traders the worst
is that of EXPostmaster General
Wilson, the author of the Wilson bill,
in an article in which he charges that
untold thousands will be sent to the
grave because of their inability to buy
wooden goods under the proposed tar
if. There is no telling how big a fool
Democrat can make of himself when
it comes to discussing the tariff ques-
ton.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL q, 1897.
CUBA TO BE FREE.

Where there is so much smoke there
there must be some fire; the rumors
about the evacuation of Cuba by the
regular Spanish troops are coming
thick. Weyler is to withdraw and pro-
claim that the island has been pacifed
if the war breaks out again Spain
is not responsible. Spain will claim
that her arms were successful and that
only after the evacuation was it pos
sible for the revOlutionists to. make
any Roadway. General Gomez has re-
fused to receive three commissioners
appointed by General Weyler to ap-
proach him as to terms of peace. A
reliable correspondent on the ground,
says:
The object of the commission was
not to offer General Gomez autonomy,
but to tell him autonomy would be
granted, and to ask him to keep quiet
on the subject for a little while at
least. General WeyIer would then re-
port that all the west part OF Cuba was
pacified. Senior Canovas and the queen
would proclaim reforms that are more
liberal than those already granted.
General Weyler would then withdraw
his soldiers in triumph and if General
Gomez would keep quiet and not spoil
the game by pernicious activity all
would be withdrawn in a month and
the preservation of peace should be
left to the local troops. OF course, i'm
mediately afterward, General Gomez
could rebel again and Spain would
never return the troops to the island
Now on the 18th we have a Havana
dispatch which substantiates the ru-
NOR that Weyler will declare the wal
over and Spain will withdraw heI
regular troops with am appearance OF
triumph. The end of the Cuabn wal
is near at hand.
