IMPORTANT CAPTURE

Sheriff Munds reached Jerome on Tuesday afternoon with an important capture in person of Walter Hutchinson, who is charged with horse-ste. ling on i the wholesale plan. About twenty-one days ago Hutchinson and J. V. Wright, employees of Perrin & Company de- camped with thirty two head of animals belonging to their employers. Sheriff Munds was notified and and took up the | trail at the range near the Bacca grant and fOllwed so closely upon the tracks Of the fugitives that he captured thirty of the horses in a hox canyon near Jer- ome. and Wright in the near vicinity. Hutchinson sncceeded in keeping out of the way of the officers much longer, and in company with the wife of his accom- plice, hid in the heavy brush near the Decatur mining group. inst east of town.
 Tuesday, Sheriff Mund came upon the pair while they were in hiding in the brush and succeeded in getting the drop on them.
 The capture was made ouly after 8 most aggraviIing delay, caused by the excellent chances for hiding in the neighhOrhood. Close watch WAS kept for several days at all points where 1t was thought they would he forced to come to get food. They held out nearly two weeks on four bread.

 pie in WashingtOn's time. Let Governor Roosevelt appreciate e the fact that in Alaska the peo- pie are heavily taxed without re-
 presentation. We are governed
 by a code of laws entirely unsuit ed to the conditions and admin istered by officials in whose choosing the people have no voice. In most cases these of ficials are corrupt and rotton to the core. They make new laws and repeal existing laws as best suits their fancy. In short, the people of Alaska are victims to a system af tyranny which is fast becoming unbearable, and from which any relief would be welcome. If absorption by Can ada would furnish the only re-
 medy then by all means let us be absorbed. The shame of it will not strike the people of AL aska with as much force as does the loss of self respect which our present condi tion entails.

GOVERNOR Roosevelt, the 2X4 politician of New York, who in his great stage play as leader of the late Rough-riders gained the sympathy of the people of New York to such an extent that they made him their governor; in his speech on Memorial Day made another stage play at the galler- ies, presumably for the purpose of inducing the sympathic though misguided eastern cranks who made his election to the Governship of New York State possible, to boom him for the Presidency of til, United States in 1900.
 In that speech he among other things Said:
 II learned few days ago that there is an Alaskan town which does not care to consider itself of the United States, but wants to be declared a part of Canada because the Unite l States would not take the trouble to provide for its proper government. Every good citizen should bow his head in shame that such a re- quest should be made because of the neglect of the United States government.

THE people of Roseburg, Ore. and more especially the political leaders, must be given credit for a considerable amount of wis dom when they secured for F. Page Tustin the position of U.
 5. Commissioner at Wrangel.
 MT. Tustin has for years been recognized as person with a decided leaning to good liquor, and a public office. His capa- bility in the former line, and in capability in the latter line was long ago fully appreciated; but his whining persistency when not feeding at the public crib, was the quality which finally won for him the post in dis tant land, which he now occu- pies. His failing to appreciate the object in sending him to Alaska, is proof of his lack of his lack of perception: and his continual determination to ride
 rough shod over everyone in the matter of collecting illegal fees,
 is a proof that he is perfectly callous to public opinion and without any regard to law when the opportunity to graft pre-
