q. L. Shannon had a hearing in
Judge Dille's court this week charged
with stealing dog, the property of
Seth Morrison. L. l.. Feltham ap-
pearea for the State, while Frank J.
smith represented the defendant. The
evidence against the defendant was SO
light that the Judge discharged him.
During the progress of the trial the
attorneys got hot at each other and
only the prOmptness of the sheriff
stopped a genuine scrap. The Judge
would have fined the Blackstone dis
c;ples for contempt of court were it
not for the fact climatic changes have
been SO frequent the past week, he
deemed the attorneys non compos, etc.

IN Ntoday's issue appear the announce nlent of Scott White, who seeks the re nomination for sheriff of Cochise county at the hands of the democratic nomi- hating convention. Mir. White needs little introduction at our hands, having, been prominently before the people of Cochise county for number of years, never swerving from duty but uphold ing the law without fear or favor. His democracy has never been questioned, while his official acts have won for him the admiration of not only his own county but the entire Territory. Brave, Courageous officers are to be appreci- ated, in the event of which Scott White will meet with but little opposition when he goes before the convention. His nomination is paramount to his election; he will lend weight to the party and assure clean sweep for the democrats in November.

A NATIONAL DISGRACE.

Is it any wonder the people of this
 country are complaing of the treatment accorded to the returning soldiers at Montauk Point. New York, and other places? That it is digrace to the good people of this land no one doubts. If they do doubt they should read the fol- lowing from the pen of gentleman who recently went to Camp Wikoff for the purpose of saving the lives of several of his friends who had been dumped there by one of the wretched transports from Santiago. He says:
 "The yellow journals' have not exag. gerated the situation in the least. There is no journal yellow enough or menda- cious enough to exaggerate any of the evils of Camp Wycoff, and don't know any: language strong enough to describe the damnable manner in which our men have been treated there, If 'war is hell, just plain, ordinary hell, there re- mains no fitting comparison for the national disgrace on Montauk Point.
 "The camp is situated 1lj miles from New York, and tn. transportation facil- ities are very poor. The Point would. perhaps, be good place for men in strong health, but is a terrible situation for men suffering from levers. The air is heavy, cold and damp; the dew is as heavy as a light shower, and it rains nearly every night.
 "The men when first landed are placed ill detention camp for the alleged pur- pose of quarantining them until it is learned whether they have anythingcon- tagious. The quarantine pretention is a farce; the camp is not guarded, and any onyone can enter or leave it at will. There is also a general camp, a general hospital and detention hospital. If a man geis into the detention hospital he he never goes from there to the general hospital, because he can't walk to it. When he comes out of the detention hosrital--if he does-he will probably sleep on the cold ground with the colder breeze chilling him to the bones.
 "There are no floors in the tents, and men who are so sich that they cannot walk or even stand alone, lie on the cold ground, and more often than not, are drenched by rain. They receive no medical traatment as rule unless they can reach the surgeons tent, and men who are powerless to even crawl, lie for hour on the cold, damp ground, suffering for medical attention that they never receive"
 And on the following day Secretary Alger proclaimed that everything at Montauk Point was in fairly good con- dition.

THERE will come time in the lives of

THERE will come time in the lives of all men who fatten and grow rich on hu- man misery, who put up prices with one hand and cut down the workingman' 8 wages with the other-there will come a time when those men, though they live to accumulate the fabled wealth of . Golconda, will be willing to give every cent of 1t for less water than a tramp needs for bath. And the man who grinds the poor mad will not be the least of these.
