TERRITORY TO APPEAL.
The Governor Fights for the Rights of
the University.

That the commissioner of the land
office is not the highest power in land
matters under our form of govern
ment may in good time account for
the fact that the university of this ter
ritory will be given reason to congrat-
uIate itself on the acquisition of valu-
able lands 1t is also matter of con-
graduation that the watchful eye OF
the present governor makes it fu-
ture possibility for that institution OF
learning to enjoy the fruits OF his un-
selfish care for its interests and well
fare
The filing of Governor McCord was
rejected by the Tucson land Office act
ing under the order OF the commits
sioner of the general land office at
Washington, and Governor McCord
proposes to test the legality of that re-
lection. With this purpose in view
he has addressed the following letter
to Hon. c. NJ Frazier, the attorney
general OF the territory:
Phoenix. Arizona. June 1. 1898
Hon C. NJ. Frazier,
Attorney General of Arizona.
Phoenix Arizona
Sir:
Congress donated Y sectors Of land to
the Territory of Arizona for the bene-
lit of the Territorial University. The u
sections were selected by a former gov
ernor, but upon examination subsequent
ly made, it was found that nine sections
OF the said Y sections were worthless,
and the United States government gave
permission to the Territory TO relinquish
It's claim on these nine worthless sec
tons and gave authority for the Terri
tory to select in lieu thereof, nine other
sections anywhere upon the public LAM
in the Territory. On the 23d of May last,
the Supreme Court of the United States
handed down a decision adverse to the
virtually restores the land embraced
within that grant to the public domain.
On the 24th of May I went to the Land
Office at Tucson and, by ruling of the
Department of the Interior authorizing
the Governor of Arizona to select nine
sections of the public land in lieu of the
nine worthless ones above mentioned
made application to enter for the Uni
versity 500 acres of land that had for
merry been the AIgadones grant This
application was rejected by the Land
Office at Tucson, under instructions from
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office at Washington.
L now direct you to take the proper
cfs4on of the Land Office, or the Commits
tery may secure title to the lands in
question. il 1t can be legally done. It is
my impression that the appeal must be
perfected within 30 days from the time
the application was rejected
Yours truly.

on the affair He said that he was
under two indictments for forgery in
Kimball county, Texas, and that he
had jumped his bail. There is nc

he believes his fatber-in-law is re-
sponsible for the trouble of both They
were married two years ago against
the wishes of Mrs. Peppers parents.
They have since been trying to per-
suade her to leave her husband and he
believes that the object OF her arrest
now is to compel her to return to
Texas and the influence of her father
But Mrs. Pepper says that she will
remain with her husband in spite OF
persecution. Both are young and the
woman is not unprepossessing. She
vas frightened half to death by the
arrest and spent the afternoon in the
woman's cell crying The Jail Off

her that if there was no charge against
her they would hold her no longer

Their arrival in Phoenix was ex-
pected. Sheriff Leatherwood was here
more than week ago making inquiry
about them. Satisfying himself that
hey had not yet come he returned to
Tucson and sent their photographs to
The hack driver with instructions to
wire him on their arrival.
Pepper says they left Kimball county
1 year ago last February, but have
ived in other parts of Texas until
lately.

Two Men Thought to be the Belen Rob

station at Laguna, E. l.. Sands, stating
that he has reason to believe that the
Belen train robbers and murderers have
deceived the posses as to the course
they took, after shooting and killing
Deputy Sheriffs Vigil and Bustamente,
and instead of making for Shelton val
ley, near the Mexican border, are on
their way to Tonic basin, near Spring
vile, Arizona. Two strange men, heavily
armed, passed the Malpais ranch of
Juan Anaya on the 10Th, and their horses
showed that they had been ridden hard.
A full description of these two men has
been wired Sheriff Hubbell, and althougt
the robbery and murders were not COM
nitted in this county the sheriff will
make an effort to capture them. 1.-The
reward the officers say, lis certainly
too small to risk ones life among such

Hired Man Kills Farmers
Daughter at Great Bend.
Shot Her Six Times Fast as He
Could Snap the Pistol.
THEN FIRED THEBARN
And 1t Is Thought Perished in
the Flames.
No Reason is Known For the
Inhuman Act.

Great Bend, April 9.-The 16-year-old
daughter of William Hofmaster, a
farmer living seven miles southeast of
this place, was shot to death at z
O'Clock last evening by a young man
named Baker, who was working for the
girls father.
The young people were doing the
chores around the barn when the moth
err heard shots fired. This was the
first intimation she had of any trouble.
The girl was shot six times as rapidly
as Baker could fire the revolver, and
she expired in a few minutes, dying in
her mothers arms. Baker immediate
~ set fire to the frame barn, and, it is
thought, persisted in the flames. If
he did not destroy himself in the barn
he will be captured soon and promptly
hanged. The father was several miles
away from home at the time OF the
shooting.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Hofmaster
unaccountably lost his country black
smith shop by fire.
There is no known reason or surmise
why the awful deed was committed.

IN CHARGE OF THE SHERIFF.
Ft- Scott Water Plant Wrangle Par
TALLY Settled.

Fort Scott, April 9.-Sheriff Wheeler
has assumed complete control of the
water works plant and is now operating
1t in behalf of the county. Although the
sheriff has levied upon the property to
collect a personal tax of $4,000 which
had been assessed against the company,
Mr.. r. Tudor Marshall, the superin-
tendent of the company, had remained
in charge of the plant and collected
the rentals.
Yesterday a check, drawn in favor of
the water company, was offered as pay
ment for water rent, and Mr.. Wheeler
wanted the check made payable to him.
Mr.. Marshall objected to this, as it
would be recognizing the legality of the
tax, which the company did not propose
to do, and so he refused to receipt for
the check.
The sheriff then assumed complete
control of the plant and receipted for
the money.
The employees are still operating the
pumps and reservoirs and will contin-
ue to do so until the suit is settled.

WAR TALK AND COLD
Together Have a Perceptible Effect
on Business.

Together Have a Perceptible Effect
on Business.
New York, April 9.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
A sensible quieting of demand for
staple goods is perceptible in the var
iOuS detailed reports coming to hand
this week. At the east the drift of mat
tiers affecting our foreign relations has
been such as to discourage new business
but this tendency has been conSidera bly,
accumulated by untimely cold weather,
which has checked the usual Easter
demand to considerable extent. Re
ports from the west are that the heavy
rush of spring business is about over
and that orders coming in now are of
a hlling-in character. Here again re
ports of unreasonable weather are met
with.
A fairly good business is reported at
the south, but a slight check to our ex-
port trade is reported. growing out of
the raising of freight and insurance
rates consequent on the disturbed for
eign outlook.
Frost is reported to have done con-
siderable damage to the peach and 9TH
er fruit crops of the south and to the
early planted tobacco. A fairly salts
factory trade is reported at the north
west. Lake navigation is now open and
anticipation is that a prosperous year
business will be done.
Rather less activity is noted in most
of the great staples. Cotton goods have
moved fairly well, ginghams especially
being in excellent demand and except
for low grade cottons, notably print
cloths, which have made a low price
record of cents per yard this week.
the situation is as favorable as could be
expected.
Wool is dull, rejecting uncertainty as
to future business and unsatisfactory
margins of profit.
The iron trade continues to report a
large volume of business being done,
but it is becoming evident that this is
chiefly upon orders previously booked.
EEga gements for future work have
diminished alike in number and volume,
particularly in the east, pending the
outcome of foreign complications.
A feature of trade at leading cities
this week is the active business in BIZ
cycles in Chicago and New York, where
sales are the largest on record.
ST. Louis reports boot and shoe ship
ments for the quarter as heavier than
ever before at this time.
Wheat shipments. including flour,
this week are slightly larger than those
of last week and considerably in excess
of last year aggregating 3,773,726 bush
els for that period against 3,550,664
bushels last week; 2,036, 600 bushels in
the week a year ago; 1.So4,u0o puSheIs
in 1896. and 1884, 900 bushels in 1895.
Corn exports have fallen off sharply,
aggregating 1851, 900 bushels against A.
5O7 900 bushels last week; 4,645, 900 bush
els in the week a year ago; 1881, OO0
bushels in 1896, and S14, 900 bushels in
1895.
Business failures in the United States
this week numbered 220 against 226 last
week; 232 in the corresponding week OF
1897; 23O in 1896, and 225 in 1895.
Business failures this week IN the
Dominion of Canada numbered IS
against SO last week, 81 in the cores
nondine week of 1897; 80 in 1896; 26 in
1885, and 50 in 1894.

STANLEY ON WAR.
The Wichita Candidate for Governor
EXPRESSES Himself

SCI do not see how, under existing cir
cumstances, we will be able to avoid
war with Spain,'' said w. E. Stanley to

THE circumstances certainly justify
it, and think it is about time the Uni

some of those foreigners just as a mat
ter of rebuke for their impudence and
increasing impertenence," he continued.
THE conditions have grown worse
from year to year. Never before in the
history of the civilized world has a ma
ton been guilty of such atrocities as
we have witnessed in Cuba. Yet, war
is a terrible thing. 1t is a calamity to
any nation. 1t is to be deplored, but
when this trouble first began, this ma

inclined to complain, are merely for the
purpose of completing preparations. 1

Plant May Be Erected at Sterling
100 Tons of Brush Sold.

w. A. Shepherd, of the Onondago
Whisk Broom works, New York, spent
last week in Sterling, and made arrange
ments for purchasing a hundred tons
of brush in addition to the large amount
he has already taken from this dis
trict.
In a talk with Mr.. Shepherd we find
him more than ever inclined to the pro-
ject of locating a whisk broom factory
somewhere in the central Kansas dis
trict, to work in connection with their
big establishment at Syracuse.
The location is now the subject of
Sterling would, of course,
seem to be exactly the place, as it is in
the center of the dwarf district.
But Mr. Shepherd finds some objec-
tions to this point and is taking up the
matter with other places. He was in
Wichita on Saturday and Monday, and
examined some buildings there.
