OohVicteo or Murdering Ills Daughter.
 At Bentonville the jury in the case of J. c. Butler, on trial for the murder of his 16-year-old daughter, after delib- erating seven days, returned verdict of guilty in the first degree. Last May Buffers daughter was found dead in bed, having been murdered with an ax, which lay beside the bed. As her father had remarked that he would rather see her dead than for her to join the Mormon church, he was arrested But Ter claimed that the party who com mitted the crime jumped from the win dow, and that he shot at him twice, and wounded him. Blood was found near the gate, but the prosecution set up the claim that Butler himself car ried it there.

Escaped Convict Writes From Honolulu.
 John Mcclure, who was con victed in Perry county in 1894 of murdering one George Cambell at Little Rock, and who escaped from a convict camp in Conway county last May, has been heard from. In a letter to the Gazette written in Honolulu September 18th, Mcclure says he desires to let his friends and enemies know that he is still in the land of the living. Of his conviction of murder Mcclure says: "I was bitterly prosecuted, and before God am innocent of the crime for which lay for more than four years behind prison bars. l would like to be able sometime to prove what l say, and the time will yet come when the world will know the truth.'

HOW TT WORKS.

As an instance of the hardship aud worse than hardship inflicted upon business men in Nogales by the remoteness of the county seat the case of the recent robbery ol Charles Beck's butcher shop is a casein point. One night last week the place was broken open and all the money in the tin was stolen. The total amount taken did not exceed twenty dollars, Mexican money. Among the coins was a Canadian quarter. Saturday night stranger in the town played a similar coin against a game in one of the saloons. He was at once spotted, and the officers were ready ana willing to arrest the man. But MT. Beck refused to prosecute, al- leging that to do so would cost him two trips to Tucson, about one hundred dollars in money and loss from neglect in business. So the undoubted thief was permitted to pass unmolested. We're the  southern end of Pima a county by itself this neglect of justice would not have occurred. MT. Beck could have prosecuted without cost to himself and would have done so. Many instances ot this kind are occurring continually. There is one way only for correcting this and other similar evils-county division. It is a rank injustice to withhold it.

 land tencer can be compelled to
 throw down the fences with which
 he has illegally enclosed the pub
 lie domain small cattle men will
 have chance to feed their herds,
 and there will be many score good,
 American families buying provi-
 sions in Nogales, where now there
 IS only this arrogant land and cat
 tie baron ard his gang of Mexican
 retainers. By trying to grab the
 public domain and illegally fencing
 that part of it which has been
 wrested by the courts from his cat
 tie company he has kept Americans
 who want homes off from the pub
 lie domain in the vicinity of No gales and deprieved the town of hundreds of thousands of dollars of annual trade. He has done worse than that. By marrying and per scouting settlers he has driven away good people, and the town has suffered the loss of their trade. Take the case of old Nick Bersich, the Dutchman. The poor, harmless old fellow, whose only offense was that he occupied land this man wanted, was arrested upon charge of theft. He was hauled clear to Tombstone-in another county for oreXamination. The justice there returned the case to Pima county, and the old man was brought to Nogales, when precinct closer home would have served much ! better. He he was held to appear before the grand jury at Tucson. ! Then he had to go there leaving his wife on a childbed and the | grand jury refused to indict. But all this trouble and expense broke Ip the poor old Dutchman, aud he object of his maghgnant per ;ecutor was attained. That's a sample of his work. And that's why THE OASIS is after him. No sales and the county can get along , such men. They are a urse and detriment to the country. THE OASIS opines that this gentle nan has got about to the end of lis rope.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF MORALES, ARIZONA.
DAMAGING THE TOWN.

SINCE THE Oasis called atten- rion to the gross violation of the
 law against fencing the public
 domain in this part of Pima county
 the boss land grabber of the crowd
 has frantically taken to writing let ters to -Negales. peeples=.fsiling
 against this journal, and trying to
 make the point that the policy of paper is damaging the town. The editor knows of two such letters and he has heard that there are others.
 The esteemed and estimable gentleman to whom allusion is here made is very fond of mixing in matters and making efforts to die tate to his betters. Two years ago he had the supreme gall to write the editor of THE OASIS an inn podent letter for the editors at titude toward the republican county ticket, in which the editor was as- sured that his course was condemn d by the business men of Nogales, and that he might as we'll pack up his kit and get out of the town. Irretrievable ruin for THE OASIS and its editor were predicted by this sapient fence builder That was nearly two and one-half years ago, and THE OASIS and its editor have both got along pretty well, thank you And last fall the prin- ciple for which he contended in 1896 was recognized by delivery to the editor of two proxies in the county central committee, he named two of the tour delegates to the county convention, and two of the five local members of the new county central committee = he named the chairman of the county convention and was himself chair man of two of the most important committees of that convention. That was a pretty good record for a man who was read out of the party two yeals before, was it not, MT. Cameron

THE PAY OF BAlLIFFS.
County COunciI May Restore the
Amounts II Cut on.

Before the County Council adjourned yes
terday afternoon it was known that serious
inroads had been made into the county
clerks estimate of expenses for 1900. The
matter that provoked the most feeling was
the reduction of the salaries of the bailiffs
from 500 to $500 a year. Those opposed TO
the cut say that the last General Assembly
passed a law stipulating that the judges Of
the courts should have the power TO APP
point their own bailiffs and fix their sala-
ries, mot to exceed SIS a month";" and in
discussing this before the council yester-
day Judge McMaster said that by this act,
the law made any agreement between a
judge and his bailiff valid as if the law
mad said that the baiiiH should receive a
stipulated sum. The members Of the coun-
Gil were agreed, however. that their power
10 reduce salaries was absolute, but after
listening 10 appeals from the bailiffS and a
strong talk from Judge McMaster. they
said that after considering the matter fur
Their they might decide TO restore the cut
President Mccullough said il was his opin-
lon that IL was more a question of right
that was involved in the matter than one
OF power and that, if il was shown that the
work was worth the money, the salary
would be restored.
The probate commissioners clerk was also
reduced from $3.50 TO $500 year. but IL was
said that there was a fair chance that this
cut would also be restored,
or the Total estimate of $3.50 the coun-
ell cut off $3.50 and the items reduced so
far We're:
Expense for jury commissioners. from s2Sl
10 $50; hailiff. from 500 10 $500; jury fees.

A haze of smoke that smelled as If it were

avenue and Twentieth street last evening
Capt. Wallace B. Foster had burned his
French flag. This does not mean that Capt
Foster thereby forswore allegiance to his
mother country. for. as is widely known,
Captain Foster is a real American and a
most ardent patriot. Almost every child
who attends the city's schools and many
older persons who have been graduated have
heard Captain Fosters speeches on patriot
ism and loyalty to the flag of the free.
Captain Foster has devoted much of his
time and energy TO perSuading schools to
raise money, erect nagstans and buy flags
to float over the buildings. He Is an active
advocate of examples OF patriotism being
placed before the child to instill in him
love of country, and he believes that the
sight of the stars and stripes is the great
