Heavy Mail and Express.

The mail which is coming into the
post Office these days is unusually
heavy. The Christmas holidays are
making themselves felt already. The
parcel and money order departments
are being kept as busy as possible and
the clerks are having to work overtime
nearly every day trying to keep up
with their work.
The express companies are doing q
heavier business than they have done
for many years. Their small package
department is the one which is on the
increase.
The express agents of the city wish
that the public would remember that
Coristmas comes on Sunday this year
and it would be we'll to have the pack
ages in the express Office few days
ahead of time this year, Rs then they
will be able to deliver them at the
point of destination on the Saturday
before Christmas. This will make It
better for all parties.

ROGERS JURY DISCHARGED.
One Of the Jurymen Reported To
Have Smallpox.

The trial of Joe Rogers, charged
with the killing of John Woods, has
been postponed indefinitely and the
jury discharged.
The pOstpOnement was both sudden
and unexpected. 1t was brought about
by the illness of w. p. Roberts, one of
the jurors, who WAS pronounced to have
smallpox, and when the matter was re-
ported to Judge Walthall. he promptly
discharged the entire jury.
A jury to try the Rogers case was
procured with much difficulty aud only
after three special venires had been
summoned was the panel complet-
ed.
The necessary men were finally pro-
cured Saturday morning and trial of
the case commenced Saturday after
noon and was progressing favorably
with the prospect of speedy termira-
tion when Attorney Good asked for q
continuance until this morning.

fore next term.

was roomiog at 212 South Campbell
street. He was sent to the smallpox
hospital yesterday morning.
The jury in the Rogers murder case
was dismissed Sunday morning owing
to one Of their NUM- ber, w. Powell
Roberts, showing up a very suspicious
temperature, and the statement of DR..
Villas that he might be coming down
with smallpox. While DR.. YandelI
states that he does no. yet pronouuce

that he has quarantined Roberts's re-

Heretofore the Headlight has been
silent upon this matter as it bad no
personal knowledge of either the good
or evil to be derived from such an
organization. and preferred to wait
uutil the matter could be judged in q
right map ner, before making any sug-
gestiOEs.
After q careful Investigation of this
subject, and consulting with many OF
most prominent cattle men, as we'll ss
with those who are almost caily called
upon to hunt these desps radoes, we,
are5convinced that a ranger compapy,if
gotten up in the right manner and
placed in care of the right
man, would be, not only the cheapest,
but the most effective method
OF riddipg the country of its most OBJ
jectiOnable characters. After q careful
and exhaustive review of the situation
we are convinced that If the governor
of this territory is suthoriz ID by the
next legislature to raise a company of
rangers, not to exceed Is in lumber,
and It is believed by those
of judging, that 10 will be
sufficient, and officer such com pspy with
the right kind of men, regardless of
any political pull, that within one year
the territory will be entirely freed
from the raids of all lawless charac-
ters.
