CT year! Will it see us 8 year stronger and manlier as we'll as & year nearer the grave? How vividly does the memory of young lad return to me. Night by night lying down to sleep, spectres of his unkind, thOughtless acts and words to mother and sister would stalk re. proachfully before hi mind,and he must ask their forgiveness and express his love. But each day would see recur- renee Of the pain and each Light the re- gret.

and it is further asserted that he
is the murderer of Rogers and
Scott on the Verde, not long
since. Sheriff Stewart, of Eddy

known Ketchum, "Black Jack"
for number Of years, having
worked on ranges in the Pan

from Trinidad, Colorado, where
he was arrested, to Santa Fe,
Ketchum broke down and &C

told Sheriff Stewart he was in

DIR. McQueston, late of Gen.
Otis staff, and health officer at
Manila, says that the western
volunteers are "the finest sol
diers in the world" but "they
all want to return home" And
the reason he gives is this: "The
men enlisted to fight for their
country and they are not the
kind of men who want to stay
and fight an insurrection for
money or the fun of fighting. "
Nobody knows better than the
volunteers that they are not
lighting for their country or
to liberate an oppressed people,
but are engaged in a conflict to
correct Mr.. McKinley's colossal

Do the city papers say any
thing IN regard to our locality?
asks an exchange. Do they con-
tain notices of your schools,
lodges and the hundreds of local
matters of interest your home
paper publishes? No not one
item. Do they publish a word
calculated to draw trade to your
town and your enterprise? And
yet there are men who take con-
tracted views in this matter.
who think if they don't get as
many square inches of reading
matter in their home paper they
are not getting the worth of
their money. It reminds me of
the man who took the largest
pair of boots in the box because
the price was the same as the
pair that fitted him. Take the
city paper if you want one, but
don't let it crowd your local pa
per out of home.

The Arizonian is authority fo-

The Arizonian is authority for
the statement that the cattle
men of Maricopa county have
decided to cease payment of
taxes on cattle, and they have
employed an attorney to act in
their behalf. The contention is
that the Nineteenth Legislature
passed a law that cattle shall
be assessed and taxes collected
on them as on real estate. The
deputy sheriffs will have con-
siderable trouble posting notices
on the wild steers unless that
recently invented device, the
flying branding iron, is used. A
stereotyped legal notice will be
put on the iron and the iron is
then thrown with the lariat.

now a liveryman of Phoenix, is

He Knew His Business.

AprOpoS of the recent visit of
Sheriff Beeler and his adventure
with Climax Jim, another story
might be told. Mr.. Beeler has
had a varied experience, but has
been principally a cattle man,
in which calling he is very pro
ficient. A few years ago he was
range foreman for Henry Hun
ing, of Show Low, Navajo coun-
/ ty. Mr.. Huning's range is near
the north line of the White
Mountain Indian reservation,
and his cattle very frequently
strayed oyer the line. Just about
that time new agent was ap-
pointed for the White Mountain
Apaches in the person of Lieut..
Arthur 2. Johnson. Now, Mr..
Johnson being a graduate OF
West Point and knowing every
thing, conceived the idea of
rounding up all the trespassing
cattle on the reservation. Ac-
cordingly, he sent out about one
hundred and fifty Indians, on
their ponies, to gather up the
stray cattle. The effect of such
a proceeding can very easily be
imagined. The Indians wanted
no better fun, and it seemed to
work as an escape valve for their
natural deviltry, but it was
tough on the cattle. However,
the savages gathered several
hundred head and were holding
and tormenting the animals near
Fort Apache. Mr.. Huning hear
ing of the outrageous perform
ance, sent Beeler and two other
COWBOYS to the fort for the pur-
pose of claiming and bringing
his cattle home. Beeler applied
to the agent for a delivery of
the live stock, and was met with
a very curt and blunt refusal,
the Lieutenant telling him that
"you can't get your cattle out
of that herd, because they be-
long to everybody, and are all
mixed up" Of course, this state
of affairs staggered Beeler, but
he recovered sufficiently to in
form the agent in his polite man
ner that it was his especial duty
to know a &c c." animal where
ever he met one. Beeler always
adds, in telling this story that
1.-The government pays out a big
lot of good money for book
learning but get very little com
mon sense along with it. '-Ari-

THE BEEF CHARGES.
Court of Inquiry Begins Probing
 into the Matter.
Gen. Miles the First Witness, and He virtu- ally Repudiates Two Important News paper Interviews Heretofore
 Credited to Him.


 Washington, Feb. 21.-The Miles court of inquiry yesterday made good start iu it's work. Calls of ceremony on the president and the general com manding the army occupied a large part of the forenoon, and immediately thereafter Gen. Nelson A. Miles ap- peared as the first witness. He and three other army officers summoned as witnesses were examined and disposed of before the court closed its session at three o'clock.
 Gen. Miles testimony. of course, was the feature of the days proceedings. Col. Frank Michler, his chief of staff, and gentleman in citizens clothes who took seat by the fireplace and gravely watched the course of pro- ceedings. retiring with the general as silently as he had come, mpanied the general to the courtroom.
 As indicated by letter of the adj ju- tant general, read by the recorder for the information of the court, the scope of the inquiry was limited to the al- legations of Gen. Miles before the war commission as to the quality of the
 
 ing to have been furnished to the pub lie press by the same official" Only two interviews were called up by the court, the first an interview with a New York Journal representative early in the beef controversy, in which Gen. Miles was quoted as charging that certain chemicals were used in the preservation of the army meat, and another in the New York Herald, under date of February 1, covering about the same ground.
 Gen. Miles was very slow and care ful in his replies to the recorders questions on this point. He called att tention to the fact that in both in- stances he was credited in the in ter views with refusing to answer certain questions, and insisted that these re- fusals should be given due weight in considering the questions to which he did reply. He said in the case of the interview of February 1 that he had g. letter from the man who wrote the story offering to swear that Gen. Miles had refused to be interviewed, and that the whole story was made up in the office from the writer's general knowledge of the facts. Notwith- standing this, when his final answer was asked as to the autheD ticity of the interview, Gen. Miles did not specifically deny it, but merely said that it did not quito fairly represent his own opinion in the case. The same qualified denial as to the Journal in terviavv of Daoanbar 02 vvac pada leaving the witness on record as not assuming any responsibility for the newspaper statements. but tacitly ad- hitting that there was good deal in them with which he agreed.
