THE NEW QUARANTINE.
How Arizona Cattlemen Have Won a 5 Crown.

The good fortune that has fallen upon Arizona catblemen by the draw ing of the lines of the new quaran- tines in which great care has been taken to leave this territory on the safe side, is the result of long, hard work. A great deal about qusTan- tine troubles has never been published. The territory has been threatened with quarantine regulations for a long time and officers of the livestock san itary commission have been working against their application for more than two years.
 A year ago New Mexicc declared a quarantine against the coum fes of Yavapai, Maricopa, Pinal and Yuma, and that quarantine had a, great deal to do with the preparation of the present livestock law. After tine bill had beer, prepared and before its passage, s. P. Behan, livestock agent of the s. F. F. & F. railroad: and Chairman Cam eron of the livestock Sanitary com mission, went to Sam a Fe to have the quarantine lifted. They had the sup port of Governor Thornton, who Went before the sanitary board and pre- seMced their case. They could see from the beginning that the New Mex lcan board, though it listened to their arguments, meant to do nothing in the matter. They took refuge upon the ground that this territ ory was without adequate regulations. About this time it is remembered that the wines were kept hot with telegra ms to msmbers of the legislature urging the immediate passage of the bll. Al CT it was passed the New Mexican board still refused to uncinch this ter1i ory, and Messrs Behan and Cameron dis covering that Col Albert S. Dean of Kansas City, in charge of the western division of the bureau c,f animal in- dustry, was supporting the New Mexi- cans, telegraphed to Hon. N. O. Mur- phy at Washington to see. D. R. Sal mon chief of the bureau Senator Don Cameron and others who might have Influence with MT Salmon. In twenty days the chief having been informed of the character of the new stock law in this territory, said he believed that

It limped back into the timber. It was but moment more until they were surrounded on all sdes. The horses stopped suddenly in terror and refused to move despite the flashing of Noesen- Futile kept loading and firing his shotgun, which checked their onslaught for time. Their barking g and growing were terrific and ther foaming mouths and hungry looks were terrifying.
 Futile murmured a prayer, fired n few more shots and then, as if in sup pfcation. a horseman came down the road at full speed. On coming around a curve in the road he was aware of his danger. It was County Attorney Frank Street of Beltrami county, re- turning from trip to St. Paul. He has a voice like the rumble of Vesuwius at the time of a pent-up eruption. Without a moments delay for refec- tion, he poured out upon the night air a volume of vulgarity. A ehiWer ran through the forest, accompanied by the batter, batter of scampering feet. The wolves were hunting their holes in the jungle, and whining with fear as they ran. A big Norway pine fell in the vicinity as the echoes of the dulcet tones tried to die away. All four men when they realized the dam ger to be over, held a mutual rejoic- ing. It was a close call, dissiD at'ed ty a loud call

The Coolest Weather Leaves Crangs

The same kind of weather with no lower temperature is prevailing about San Bernardino and Riverside, Cal. But there the bark of trees un- protected by smudge fires is turs ing open. This proves that citrus trees in thfs dry climate can stand a great deal colder weather than the Caifor- mia trees.
 The temperature was considerably higher last might than the night before and indications point to the passing of 6he present cold spell. It is not likely that the citrus trees of this val ley will ever again be subjected to such a test as they have successfully withstood.1 |

it gave the local board power to con trol the situation. He accordingly brushed the New Mexican barr CT away.
 There was some 'uneasiness about where the new line of the national quarantire would run and when Dr. J. c. Norton, the territorial veterinary surgeon, was in Washington last sum- mer he visited Secretary Wilson, who had been his teacher at the Iowa state college. He also called on Chief Sal mon and had frequent conferences with these gentlemen about stock mat- ters in this territory. Since his re- turn he has beer in constant corres- pu7demce with both gentl emen and in the course of it he guaranteed that no infected animal would be permitted to go beyond the boundaries. He also described the extent to which southern fever had obtained fCothold and de- scribed ithe means employed for it's eradication with strong prCb3ibilitiss IS of success. He was informed som time ago that under the circums arc s and the guarantees that had len of fered, Arizona would be excluded from the quarantine.
 Cattlemlen themselves have largely contributed to this fortunate cond:- tion by cooperating with the live stock board in the enforcement of reg uletions. Now and then a man has been found who would be vii ing to quarantine the whole territory so thct he would have plenty of compa in misfortune But he was the kind of a man the law was cut to fit, and the board had a way to control him.

While at Tue son he took part in the continuation of the five Stein's Pass train robbers, who were afterward taken to Silver City, N. M, to be examined TOT robbing the postofice at the pass, which is in that territory. It was developed at the examination that these five, with their dead companion, CuIlens, were em- ployes of iihe Erie Cattle company and are supposed to constitute one ccm- pany uf a band of cowboys formed in that region for purposes of robbery One of the Stein's Pass robbers and the leader, Leonard Alvenson, was not driven to robbery by poverty He is the owner of a herd cf 1000 cattle.

The trial was set for yesterday, but when the parties came to court another case was gong on. Then it was that Captain Me Donald elected himself courl comm S. sioner. He called the lltigan.s out into an alley and listened to their di- vergent statements. When they were concluded he adjudged that MT.

 Governor McCord yesusrday rec aived letter from the governor of Texas making inquiry into the circumstances of the late killing of Cowboy William King by Constable Bert Alvord at Wilcox. King was Texan and ac- cording to the story told by his friends the killing was murder. Gov ernor MeCord replied that a coroneris jury had eXonerated the officer. King was one of several Cochise and Gra- ham county cowboys who used to ride into Wilcox, fill up with Equor, shoot up the town and make things so warm that local officers soon tired of of1ic al life. Not long before the killing a constable resigned on account of his inability to control the cowboys. All word, who had reputation throughout the southeastern part of the territory as a peace preserver. was imported and among his earlier official acts was the destruction of King. It has been very quiet at WillcoX ever since.

MAINE's LIQUOR Law A FARCE.
Neal Dow Acknowledged that 1t WAS Only
Operative In Certain Localities.
=. Boston Herald

We have no great confidence that
the death of Neal Dow will have
much inhuence to aid those who de-
sire to do away IN that State with
the liquor law which he originated
1t has been apparent for moro than
ono generation there that the law
was farce and fraud, but the peo-
pie appear attached to it, notwith
standing. Mr.. Blaine risked and
somewhat impaired his great popu-
larity by refusing to put it into the
Constitution of Maine. The politl-
clans regard it as fetch, and they
fear meddling with it. Mr.. Dow
himself acknowledged that it was
only operative in certain localities,
while it WAS openly disregarded in
others. Tho question appears to
have been in his mind whether the
demoralizing spectacle Of the non OBJ
servanco of tho law in some places
was not more than Offset by the
benefit wrought by it's observance in
others. It is dangerous doctrine
in its general application, for it gives
people the privilege of complying
with law, or not, as they may prefer,
but it has had a vogue down in Maine
in the instance Of this statute which
renders it very difficult to interfere
with it's existence. The politicians,
as we have said, dread dynamite ef-
fects from so doing.

GEN. HAMPTON Is COMING HOME.
No Criticism OF Mckinley for Accepting
His Observation-Disclosures McLaurin
Turns South.
Especial to The State.)

Washington, November 3.-Gen-
eral Wade Hampton, United States
railroad commissioner up to yester-
day, having turned over his office to
General Longstreet, will leave for
home this week, but he expects to
return to Washington during the
session of congress. He says he
does not blame President Mckinley
for accepting his resignation. He is
satisfied that the President wanted
to keep him in the position, but party
pressure was too great for him. He
seems to blame Longstreet himself.
Longstreet came to Washington be-
fore the Inauguration to work for
this Office. He might have picked
out another Office instead Of trying
to supplant Confederate comrado.
General Hampton says that Sec
retary Sherman spoke to the Presi-
dent in his behalf, but from what he
could hear Mark Hanna worked for
Longstreet.
Senator McLaurin, who has been
here siuce Sunday night, leaves for
home by the 4:3O Coast Line train
in the morning. The Senator visited
several of the departments and he
was particularly gratitied with the
success Of his mission to the post
Office department. He will not re-
turn until the meeting of the regular
session in December.
