!: Expressions on III Timely Issues.

ers, and that was tho trouble. One
man came in to complain, and when
we examined his case he had only
been raised about fifty dollars, which
would have made his taxes about Sc
oonts higher than last year. He had
spent more than that sum at the
original package store that day and
lost the day besides, ii went home
with headache, / reckon. 1t was pro-
badly tho scat of tho original
package store instead of tho seat of
war that caused most of this big
blowing which excited the Editor of
tho News.
Now, if any man is fool enough
TO. return his property high just to
catch a "rich widow" he has Ger
tainly made q mistake. We, too,
used to believe the rich widow story,
but when we examined the tax re-
turns we found there were no rich
widows. They were all very poor.
Now, if there is any of tho women
who want to get married they had
better look over tho tax returns to
find out whether their would~be hus-
band can support them.
In regard to us poking our head
above the political horizon, so far
as we arc individually concerned, we
think the atmosphere in that region
is too poisonous for an honest mans
head anyhow. Policy has taken the
place of honesty in politics until tho
whole business is 8 mess of fraud and
deception. We have never had any
desire for office, but if we did we
should not be afraid of tho influence
Of any man who was not willing to
pay his pro rata share Of tho taxes or
sign his name to his article. We
! would think his influence very light
and his knife mighty dull. We have
no axes to grind, no apologies to
make, don't expect to die ON any
body's feather bed but my own, and
if anybody wants to fight worse than
we do, we hope the Editor of the
News will send him to Cuba and lot
him kill the man who bowed up the
battleship Maine. We have only
bowed up-a- few tax returns. r1

EDITORS COURIER: All that wo
can hear now is war, war. Wcll,
war is q good ching, [ reckon, in its
place, but | must confess that [ do
not know where its place is. AS war
is the watch word of the day, I want
to once more remind my farming
friends, that if we have to FIGHT in
another war let us commence right
at homo and give king cotton the
first monster blow. Give it the first
black eye. Simply cut down the
aoroage of cotton and enlarge the
corn crop, pea and forage crops. If
val should como with Spain, then
tho ball is opened for tho nations of
the earth to become hostile and war
will be the final result, l fear. If
such should be the case, cotton will
not be over three cents per pound
next fall. Well, in uasc there is no
war and we go ahead and raise q ten
million bale crop wo will not realize
over thrce cents per pound for it.
The cotton exchanges claim now
that there are nearly two million
bales surplus cotton on hand. If
we raise another such o crop or a
larger one, we will not got enough
money to pay for the gaano that we
put under it.
Shall we farmers never stop ruin
ing ourselves and familics?~ Every
other occupation OH: the earth is
banded together for protection and
is doing good. But we farmers are
afraid of each other and are just lot
ting tho world run over us rough

George Scar borough, who captured Brope1o Bill in the Black River coun- try in Graham county last fall, and killed another outlaw named Johnson. took a posse into the Black river coun- try two weeks ago in hopes of finding q number of dpsperadoes who have been causing trouble in that section Of late. He carried papers for several parties, bu5 was especially on the look out fer Red" Pitkin and his partner. Friday morning ,they overlook a man carrying a Winchester and siX-shCOter and riding 9 splendid horse. Scarbor- ougn called to him to halt but instead he pulled his Winchester and opened fire. Scarborough jumped from his horse and returned the fire, wOunding the man in the shoulder and knock ing him from his horse.
 D. A. Von Arnim, manager of the HampsCn cattle ranch. who had been iii SolOmCnVille attending court, left Saturday morning intending to go to his ranch. On the way he met cow boy from the HampsOn ranch, who had been sent in by Scarborough to notify the sheriff. Won Arnim sent che man back to the ranch and returned to town himself.
 After the shooting. a. man was dis patched to Fort Apache about eighteen miles distant for a decor, who arrived On the scene and dressed the wounds of the man. He is stranger in the Black river section. When called on to halt he jerked his gun and commenced a running fight.

CAUGHT STEALING CORN
One of inc Thieves was Shoi ThrouS h
 inc Sh0uIdcr-Boih Jailed.

l Last Sunday night abOu. II o'clock
 Will Davis and Jack Davis were caught 1 stealing corn from the cribs of l. E. Solomon at SolomOnville. They were called On to halt but instead they made
 run and Will Davis was shot through | the shoulder Both are now in the
 county jail awaiting the ac-iOn Of the
 next grand jury on a charge Of burg 1 lary. The next grand jury will not
 convene until April.
 1 About 10:3O Sunday night both par i ties were seen around town together 1 and were in the saloon O. Arturo Eli i as on Main street, says the Solomon l vile Bulletin. By their actions they aroused the suspicious of Mir. Elias. who told Emilio Casanova to watch i the men for awhile as he was cerc2ln 1 they were UD to some mischief. 1 Sncrtiy [ sterwards the mel went out i side and Emilio followed them. They
 went across the street and tried the
 windows of Arturo Elias's store but were unable to effect an entrance and
 started around the corner of the store closely followed by Emilio. Just after
 turning '.he corner of Mr. Elias's store they crossed Bowie avenue and went between MT. SolCTon's store and his corral. Emilio stepped behind the big Buffalo scales on Rowie avenue and watched the men effect an entrance in
 to Mir. SOlCmon's corral and proceed. toward the corn cribs.
 As soon as the mon disappfS rod be- hind the haystacks in the corral Emilio
 went in search O. Charlie Solomon and i:cgetlrer armed themselves and quietly entered the corral at the east gate. They were just in time to see the men fill a sack wi;h corn which was drop ned CutSiOP
 Charlie Solomon who was in the lead called on the men to stop. They broke
 and ran, jumping over the south wall
 of the corral wi-h MT. Solomon and
 Emilio in close pursuit. They called
 again for the snen tn iaif and both
 fired several shots. Some were fired in
 the air anu this not stopping the fugi-
 tives they turn d thoir guns in the di-
 Iection of the fleeing men.
 Jack Davis ran down towards Main
 street and into thc arms O. J. Rex, who saw the man running and quickly over 1 haUied him and turned him over to the officers Who soon arrived, and he was landed in jail.
 A party immediately went to the house of Will Davis but was informed
 that he was not in, although at Lhat time he was concealed on the premises. Later Dr. Lacey was called and 1t was then known that Davis had been hit
 during the shooting. Thc doctor dress
 cd the wound. which was not consid- cred dangerous. The ball eptorad che body just below the right arrlDIt and
 ran around the ribs and came out un-
 der the right shoulder blade, inllicting only 2 flesh wound
 Both parties arc now in jail Will Davis is a man about 9 years old and Jack is yOunG fellow about 19. They arc brothers-in-law and will keep each other company in the same cell until the grand jury meets.

TEST WELL TO BE SUNK.
A Southern Pacific Representative h.
 teIested in Irrigation.

Mir Russell Chapman, who spent last week in looking over the lower part Of the Sulphur Springs valley, including the Fucker distriC,. returned Monday to San Francisco. MT. Chapman is one of the gentlemen sent by the Southcrn Pacific company to that valley to inves- tigate it's water resources. In his opin- ion there are goc1 reasons to believe tha,. artesian water may be obtained in the valley, though it might be neces- saTy to drill to depth Of 1000 or 1.5OU feet
 In, this connection the Range News suggests tha, whsn the well at Ochca is completed the company's well drill CT be brough,. over and test we'll put down. A rancher cannot afford to risk the expense of drilling hole a thousand feet deep. but the Southern Pacific company, having the equipment SC near at hand, might well make the experiment.
