THE NEWS
 OF JEROME

Jerome, June 22-(Sp-ca1 corre- ' spondence of The Republican )-The case against MT. c. E. Butler 4oT the
 alleged assault upon Editor McDon-
 aid of the Hustler has been dismissed
 without hearing, an arlicable under
 standing having been arranged be- tween the two persons most concerned MT. McDorald shows good judgment
 in the matter and it is not likely that there will be further friction in Je-
 rome newspaper circles for some time to come
 l The open letter of Governor Murphy. which appeared in The Republican of i the goth, has caused a profound sensa- tion in and around Jerome. The ex- : pose has met with nothing but com
 mendation from persons desirous of
 seeing legitimate mining enterprises protected, and who deprecata the boosting of stock exchange schemes by
 the utilization of titles and boom Ft-
 erature, based upon widely known and ! large producing mines. The gover- nor's action, while a little out of the
 ordinary line of executive dutf es. was
 justified by circumstances. and there is { no doubt his letter will be. copied far
 and wide all over the, country. partic- ularly in the far east. Boston and
 New York people especially will be in- terested in it's pe:7usa1 Its immediate effect may be to paralyze, the onward rush of fake Companies and the un-
 loading Of their stock, but the ulti- mate result will be for the benefit or mining all over Arizona.

 miles, and finally ovartook the arI
 mals in charge of two men of Jerome.
 They forced the fugit.ves to dis,mount
 and to walk back all the way to camp,
 While they. the Indians, mounted the
 horses and brought up in the rear with their WinchesCers unslung and ready for action. In speaking of 1t after reaching Jerome one of the captors re- marked: White man on hoss heap
 bad; InJun on hoss he heap had. too. Wah." At the examination the two men made rather plausible defense. Stat1ng that they had purchased the animals from party claiming to own them, and had no idea of doubting the propnetorship alleged The prison CTS disclaimed any guilty knowledge or intent, and both of them having borne good characters heretofore as far as known, Justice Barton was D1Iz- zled what to do. However. he exer- cised his judicial function in a Solo mon-Ike manner, by turning the h. d-an-caught white men loose and de- creeing the horses back to their aEo- Tiglnal owners, thus pleasing every body.
