A VAIL.
An Adrian Paper Makes One Of
Its SDaSmodic Vicious Attacks,

An Adrian Paper Makes One Of
Its Spasmodic Vicious Attacks.
The Mobiles Csunty Democrat went
into a violent TRADE last week. vilify-
ing the ex-county auditor. It is a
contemplate act, if Adrian has done
so much for him, to fling it at him in
the manner done last week. If a
crime has been committed, why this
timidity in enforcing the law? We
do not presume to know the law in
any degree, nor is there any reason
for upholding Mr.. Kendlen or es-
pousing his cause, but our tub stands
on it's own bottom and we have no ak
to grind, but we do think that the
article referred to contains a vicious
ness that is unwarranted.
AS to the over-drawn clerk salary,
the new schedule introduced into the
house March Oath, reducing salaries,
allows $3.50 for clerk hire, so it is
reasonable to presume that there has
been some authority for drawing a
larger amount during the past
In reference to the extra charges
for serving on the board Of audit and
equalization, these allowances have
been made elsewhere, and it is but
reasonable that the Mobiles county
auditor should be served as we'll as
others.
Yet we do not think it is just, as
the auditor is allowed a salary which
should cover all service performed.
AS to the amount received for GER
tifying TO abstracts and deeds, the at
torney general, in a decision made a
few days ago, says: ''The charge
made by the county auditor in such
cases does not in any way pertain tc
his office, but is matter Of concern
wholly between himself and the indi-
vidual requesting the certificate and
he is entitled to pocket the fees. D
This may not be infallible but it is
quite conclusive authority.
AS to purchasing Of supplies the
financial statement of last year does
not show he had the bills for station
cry allowed in his name and paid fo1
same by private check; and we learn
from reliable source that such is
not the case. We agree that his
practice of purchasing stationery
abroad was an injustice to the bust
ness of this county, but the same
thing is being continued to very near
ly the same extent.
Let the investigation go on and
when it is finished, there will be am
pie time to held the man up for pub
lie censure, but until he is found
guilty it is an unprincipled act to ov.
er down unsupported charges.

While it was not put to a vote, it
seems to be the will of the members
that no running team be at the tourn

discussed somewhat in an informal
way and the boys seem to think that
the honor they would derive from
bringing home the cart would not
pay them for the necessary work in

ARRESTED FOR SMUGGLING.
Mr.. Hunsaker Attempts to Cross Cat

Geo. w. Webb of Nogales, United

saker and Papago Indian, a vaquero.
1t seems that some time since Hunsaker
bought bunch of twenty three head
of cattle from Indians, which proved to
have been stolen, and he was forced to
give them up to the rightful owner. He
Immediately. started for Sonora to try
and find the Indians and if possible to
get the money. He found them in the
vicinity of Ell Plomo, but they could
give him no money, and agreed to give
him more cattle to make good the loss.
The cattle were delivered to him and he
and an Indian vaquero whom he had
hired to help drive the bunch home to
Mesa City; were arrested for smuggling

while driving the cattle across the line
without first having paid duty.
They were brought 10 this. city and
tried before Court Commissioner Haz-
zard at 10 o'clock this morning. Hum
saker claimed that he thought the In
dians had right to drive the cattle
across the line and that he had no ir-
tention of trying to defraud the govern
ment, The case, however. from his own
statement was so plain, and he at the
same time acknowledg ging that he did not
pay any duty, Commissioner Hazard
bound him over to await the action of
the grand jury at their next meeting in
the penal sum ofS3Oo. The Indian it
was plain, was not responsible, being
merely hired to help drive the cattle and
was released.
The gang of Indians from whom
Hunsaker bought the cattle, have been
operating for long time and are
wanted on several charges by the Gus
toms officers of both United States and
Mexico, and if they are caught it will
probably go hard with them.--Tucson

side until one reached the cliffs that
overhang the Cantadas Lake, TO have

to swim across the lake, which may

Certain scientists who have investi-
gated the tradition and rumors that
exist about the Cantadas among the
inhabitants, African and Portuguese, Of
the Cape Verde islands, are inclined to
the belief that they are of Cornish
origin. This theory is due to the fact
that what is stated to be their tongue
resembles the dialect of the natives
of Cornwall more than any other

Are Badly Mixed.
From Harper's Round Table.
Distances at sea are measured in miles
inst as they are on land, but the speed
of a ship at sea-that is, the number oil
miles she makes through the water in one
hour of time-is measured in knots. There
is therefore. a difference in the meaning
Of the word mile and knot they are
no more synonymous than are the words
distance" and speed, to which they
ara correlated. 1t is we'll to bear in mind,
in speaking or Writing of nautical matters
the distinction, that a mile is unit OF dis
lance but a knot is unit of speed.
There are two kinds of mile-a statute
or land mile and nautical or sea mile.
A statute mile is $3.50 feet long. 1t is our
STANDARD. of itinerary measure adopted
from the English, who, in turn, adopted IL
from the Romans. a Roman military
pace. by which distances were measured
was the length Of the step taken by the
Roman soldiers, and was approximately
five feet long; 1000 of these PAGES were
called a Latin mile. The English mile Is
therefore, a purely arbitrary measure, en-
acted into a legal measure by statute
passed during the reign of Queen Eliza
beth; 1t has no connection with any scale
in nature.
!. nautical mile, on the other hand, IS
equal in length to one-siXtieth part OF the
length of a degree Of great circle Of the
earth. But the circumference Of the
earth is nowhere a true circle; its radius
