in the GAZETTE, James Lewis, the ne-
gro who criminally assaulted Mrs. Ida
Reidel at her home on Rose Hill farm,
in Fairfax county, south of this city, on
Tuesday night last, was brought to this
city yesterday afternoon by Constable
William Webster and Policeman At
kirsor. Lewis was arrested by the pc
lice ir Charlottesville Monday night
from the description furnished them by
Constable Webster, who was in that
city on Friday last in search of the
criminal While on the train Lewis
begged the officers not to put him off at
Fairfax Courthouse, as he feared he
might b. subj .cted to violence. He
protested his innocence, and claimed
that he had not heard OF the crime I'M
Ill he was taken i'll charge by the au-
thorities nj Charlottesville. Lewis, while
in his cell at police headquarters. al
peared to be in a nervous condition.
He at first refused 10 talk, except to
DENY any knowledge of the crime.
When acquainted with the fact that his
wife had made a statement in regard TO
his visit 10 his home in this city at
late hour on Tuesday night, and that
he had threatened to kill her, Lewis
became very much alarmed He de-
uied everything which had been said
Oy his wife, but acknowledge that he
mad gone home early in the evening
and picked small bundle of clothing
with the Intention of going to Char
lottesvile Tor employment. The negro
failed 10 explain why he left Alexandria
so hurrledly on Tuesday night, and has
made conflicting statements in regard
to his sudden departure. When OF.
rested in Charlottesville he is said TO
have asked If he was suspected of the
assault on Mrs. Reidel before the crime
had been mentioned to him. Sheriff
Gordon reached here this morning and
took Lewis to Fairfax Courthouse. He
was accompanied by Officer Knight.
Over hundred people were at the
depot at Fairfax station when the
train having Lewis on board arrived
and some OF them cried ''get a rope"
but no trouble ensued. He was put in
a vehicle and conveyed to Fairfax,
three miles distant. Lewis reached
Fairfax with his guards without Incl
dent and was at once taken to Jail.
Later Mrs. Reidal went to the prison
where Lewis was in room with about
dozen men and without hesitation
identified him as her assailant.
A grand jury was Immediately sum-
moned and in short time they re
turned an indictment against Lewis
charging him with the crime.
In the absence of Judge Chichester,
who is still quite sick, Judge lips
comb, of Prince William, is presiding.
A special grand jury has been sum
moned and the trial of Lewis will
commence on Friday.
There is no excitement.

Beware of the Cost.
Tucson Citizen

Tucson Citizen
 It IS understood that an effort will be made to have the present legisl ature create new court for the several dis. trictso of the territory, with jurisdiction equal to the present district courts leaving the four judges now appointed by the Federal Government to act solely as a supreme court. If such courts are established It will add greatly to the present exhorbitant taxes. Is there any need for such courts? We think not. The population of the Territory of Arizona IS about sixty thousand cer- tainly not over seventy thousand. The taxable valuation of the property of the territory is about twenty eight mil lions of dollars, certainly not over thir- ty millions. This is not the population and taxable valuation of one of the backward counties of states like New York or Pennsylvania. Yet in any such backward count ties they never dream of more than one judge and one court to do,the entire business of the county. In Arizona We have fourjudges and twelve courts to do the business Of a popula tion and taxable property that in any county of an eastern state of like popu- lation and property would be done and done we'll by one judge and one court. Fortunately the Federal government pays the salaries of the four judges, but the taxpayers have to pay the cost of the twelve court. Think oft sensible taxpayers. We have twelve district courts, twelve clerks of courts, twelve probate courts, twelve sheriffs, twelve county treasurers, twelve tax collectors and assessors. twelve recorders, twelve district attorneys, thirty-slx county supervisors. besides a horde of minor officers, county, precinct and city, all of whom must be paid by the taxpayers on taxable property valuation of less than tEs y millions. We certainly have enough officials to do the work in this territory without the additional ex- pense of more courts criers and bailiffs. We therefore ask the legislature to ex- anime carefully any measure, to create any more courts or court officials. to feed of the present over- -hnrdened tax. payers. They are not required. We have all we need and more than 1t is actual. ly necessary now.

The Cattle Industry.
1Gazette.-


 The extent of the cattle industry in this territory is shown by the report of Dr J. N. Norton, territorial veterinary surgeon. whose books thow that during 1896 200, 900 head of cattle were shipped from Arizona. Add to this the 10000 head that are consumed in the terri torp and quarter of million head is the result These at the. prevailing price of range cattle, which is about SIP a head. would make a total valuation of three million dollars, the amount received. To this should be added at least another million because of the fat steers shipped from the Salt River val ley, The past year has been a more prosperous one for the cattleman than for many years previous. Not only have prlces been materially elevated, but copious rains has improved the range so that the mountains and valleys are dotted with fat cattle throughout. This was for years the ideal home of the cattle barons and cowboys. This will, to great extent, regain their former prestige and the cattle industry will continue to be one of the leading sour- ces of revenue.
