A shooting fracas occurred on the
night of the End inst, in the bar room Of
the Shelby Hotel. An Indian by the
name Of Cross Gun, undertook to kill
the bartender, has. Schield. but Char
lie was not to be caught mapping so he
dropped Mr.. Indian with red hot-pill
through the heart.
An inquest was held the 3rd, inst. by
Judge Dawes, acting coroner, the state
being represented by County Attorney
Erickson, and Schild by J. W. Freeman
of Great Falls. The jury Chas. Moberly,
w, E. Chase Nat Hassell, e. B. Arm
strong, JAS. Aylward, and j. I. Meade,
found that the Indian came to his death
by gun shot inflicted by Charles Schild,
acting in self defense, and exonerated
hun. An official complaint charging
murder was filed by Deputy Sheriff
Hughes and warrant issued by Judge
Dawes. The attorneys stipulated that
the case be submitted to the court on
the testimony as given at the inquest,
and there being no probable cause in
the opinion Of the court for believing the
defendant guilty, he was discharged from
custody. Immediately upon being dis
charged Schild was rearrestad by Sam
Dunbar acting de3uty U. S. Marshall or
a warrant issued by U. S. Commissioner
Wilcox, the complaint alleging that de-
fendant had sold liquor to an Indian.
The case is set for preliminary examini-

of the figures is that the losses OF the

whereas those of the others are only
partially included. because the official

We just wish TO add that in the bat
ties around Richmond, in the Wilder
ness and elsewhere North Carolina did
fully one-third the fighting and sus-
tanned one-thfrd the losses. A well
known gentleman told US recently that
he has seen artillerymen in battle come
back: to see what troops were support
ing them, and when they found North
Carolinians the returned saying all
right. We heard zen Hood say in a re-
ception speech at Raleigh, that eff he
had to bestow the boquet TO that state

he knew that North Carolina had more
troops in Virginia defending her soil
from the invader than Virginia had.

ROBER Us DEFENDS POLYGAMY.

We see it mentioned that much mar
ried Brigham Mormon Roberts does not
deny the fact Of three wives, but con-
tends h a he had them before the law
by congress passed. He admits that
while the Mormon church ceased to
celebrate polygamous marriages it was
not from conviction of right or purity.
but it was concession to law, to neces-
sity. He is evidently persuaded tina
the sentiment against polygamy has
greatly weakened. With 900 emissa-
ries travelling all through the states
carrying on their bad work of tempting
and perverting the ignorant, Roberts
seems to believe that nothing will be
done to break the back bone of the
outrageous crime against morality, de-
cency and Christianity, but rather
polygamy will be condoned and left
to itself. Roberts not only will hold
on to his three wives, but he is ready
and open to defend his practice and
the sacredness of the thing under
which such outrages are made possi-
BILE. So far from weakening the Chris

Died of Died

While these rveturnS are obviously
incomplete. they are worth noting, as
they show that at least 74.524 were
killed or died of wounds, and that GER
tainly - '"7 died of disease.
The - says the figures are incom-
plete. 1t may be so, and we think it is
so as to Alabama, Texas and perhaps
other states. Virginians insist that
their state lost more than any other
state. The Sun goes on to explain
away the figures, not challenging North
Cardinals loss of 1925. in this way:
1.-The official records OF the war show
co%nclusively in the running reports thai
Alabama lost in killed and died of
wounds fully $4,000 men. The losses
of the border states Missouri, Ken
lucky and Maryland, are obviously in
complete. Missouri alone lost more
killed la is here stated. The records
of battles do not show that South Car
DINA lost in killed and died of wounds
sucn a disproportion exceeding the
other states, excepting North Car
DINA Her troops fought very well,
and sometimes lost heavily, but the
losses of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana regiments were certain

We cannot, for want of space, elab-
crate m on some instructive
figures as to the great war. Through
the last thirty-five years we have been
trying to expose falsehoods and un-
fairness as to the war, and w re-
peatedly printed edifying figures con-
corning battles, losses, &c. 1t has been
often shown in the Messenger what
North Carolina did for the southern
fighting, of losses etc. What was
known to us, and to a few North Car
~olinians was not known outside. Hence
the constant, iterated, reiterated false
hoods and the studied injustice as to
North Carolina. We ave contended
all along that North Carolina did not
have less than 126, 900 soldiers in the
war, and that she lost more men in
battle and by disease han any other
state lost, and because she had more
men in the fight, and in the thickest
of it.

We have not seen Roberts bold de
fence OF Mormon polygamy. But he is
being shown up in the newspapers. He
squareiy advocates polygamy and
giories in practicfng it. The Baltimore
Herald gives this account OF his spe-
cious plea and defence:
III represents plural marriages as
commanded by divine revelation and
INDUCES in the offensive cent about the
sanctity and holiness with which Nor
mons seem ever ready TO combat rec
ognized ideas OF morality. He rejects
the Jewish Scriptures but. inconsist-
emily enough, points to the practice
Of Abraham and other patriarchs as
affording authority for polygamy, and
as firmly establishing his claim TO be
formally recognized as the representa-
' III an AIlcfICdn CONSTITUENCY.
Every Christian church stands for
mahogany, and the great Catholic
denomination ever refuses to recog-
niZe divorce for any cause.
MI. Roberts will find that instead of
a few bigots he has millions of church
members against him, who have re-
solved that the %iniquities of Mormon
ism shall " no place in the future
history Of this country"
The baleful fires started in the old
states should be stamped out. Roberts
knows his thing he calls a church is
built upon polygamy, and favors it.
Hence he feels safe from any thun-
ders hat may be heard in that direc-
ton. If the congress has no lightning
in store that can strike at the root of
Roberts own tree the people should
see to it that Mormon polygamy Is a
thing of the past. Because a man prac-
tees bigamy for years is that any bar
to his prosecution for that crime and
for due punishment. Is it sound NOR
ais n good law hat a fellow with
three wives should escape because he
has one more wife than the fellow with
two wives? Many of the Mormons have
a half dozen wives and we suppose all
retain them as if there We're no con-
science, no law, no public opinion.
even Mormons are censuring and re-
pudiating Roberts.
There is really but little in Rob-
erts' appeal to the practice of the Jews
in the Old Testament. A careful exam
ination Of the facts as found in the
Old Testament will give but little COM
fort to latter-day much married
greedy polygamists. We have not
space to enter upon it here.
