APRIL TERM
OF THE COURTS
Commenced In Both Tribun-
ais Of This City Today.
JUDGE MAXEYS CHARGE
To the Federal Grand Jury Was Deli
vered Soon After That Body Had
Been Sworn In.-Heavy DOckets.

The United States court met for the
April term this morning with Judge
T. S. Maxey on the bench and the 9TH
er court officers present.
Grand and petit jurys were appoint
ed and sworn in.
A large number of lawyers were
present to look after such cases on the
docket as they are interested in and
considerable time was consumed in
that way. The docket is very heavy
and 1t is believed that this term will
be much longer than usual. Many
big damage suits against the railways
are to be tried and each one of them
will require several days.
JUDGE MAXEY'S CHARGE.
After the grand jury had been sworn
in, the Judge delivered the following
charge
Gentlemen of the grand jury:
"Generally speaking, offenses which
may be committed within the body of
the district are RENTED for attention
and consideration to the state Judicial
ry. There may be- and are, exceptions
to this general rule, as for instance,
where offenses are committed at any
place within the exclusive Jurisdiction
of the United States, military reserva-
tions and other like places; in these
cases offenses which are committed
come within the Jurisdiction of this
court and of course within your cog
niZance.
You will also inquire into all infrac-
tfons of the laws relating to the postal
establish ment, such as robbery of the
mails, assaults upon carriers, theft of
money from the mails and the great
variety of cases which come within the
inhibition of the statute. 1t will be
your duty to inquire also into viola.
tions of the coinage laws-where a
party has passed counterfeit money
with intent to defraud, or has in his
possession counterfeift money with like |
intent, or where be makes that money |
itself, he is guilty of crime against the
United Staras and should be punished. |
perhaps it is Unnecessary to call your
attention to distinctions which you
will observe in that connection. For if
! man passes countetfeit coin or has
n his possession counterfeit coin
he is not necessarily guilty
IT an offense against the laws; man
nay innocently pass counterfeit dol
ar: in a case of that kind of course e
would not be guilty of violating any
tatute. Honest men often have cOun-I
erfeit money in their possession and
ass it, but you will observe that in

Fire Team Baked

chemical engine was out this morning
for exercise.
In passing the court house the horses
were stopped to allow q lady to cross
the street. After that they refused
to start again. The driver worried
with them for about ten minutes with
out success and finally gave up that
method as a bad job. He then got
down and taking the animals by the
bits. led them few feet which had the
desired result and team went ahead.
The horses'were bought from Murray
Bros, of Kansas city and fancy price
was paid for them. It is not believed
that they have formed the habit of
baking, but simply concluded to this
morning because they were stopped.

} Only one witness was examined by

council him that q number of MeXicans
had conspired to kill Durham as the re-
suit Of the feud epgendered when Seth
Burr attempted to annihilate the
Jusrez police force with his shooter a
year ago.
Durham owns ranches at Pecos and
I in Mexico. He is Burr's uncle. 1t
killed by bullet from a citizen, g pis-
toll and not by policeman. Mapula,
the man killed yesterday claimed to
have slain Seth Burr and moreover
often boosted of this act and said he
was anxious to meet the uncle of the
noted cowboy and demonstrate that he
was a match for the whole family.
He promised to send Durham after
Burr.
Sunday morning Mapula meet
Seth Burr's uncle and as a result of the
encounter the Mexican now lies at an
undertaker's shop sleeping his last
sleep with four ugly bullet wounds
about his person.
From the best accounts of the shoot
ing attainable Durham and Mapula
met at the Red Light saloon. The
Mexican pointed the American out to
his companions, saying: That's him.
There he is now," in Spanish.
Durham overheard the rem ark. He
was not bunting trouble, but was pre-
pared for it. The squad of Mexicans
followed him and logged his footsteps.
He turned and asked what was wanted.
The Mexican replied in surely tone
that it was none of the Americans
business and Immediately reached for
his gun. Durham was too quick for
him, however. and his six shooter was
out in an instant.
The American fired four shots, all of
which took effect. The first bullet was
effective, for the Mexican pitched for
ward upon his face and rolled over.
He managed to pull his gun but his
arm was paralyzed and be could not
use it, Durham continued shooting
and three other bullets struck the
Mexican.
A crowd quickly gathered. Durham
retreated to the Silver King saloon and
surrendered to Deputy
Sheriff Heep. The Mexican was picked |
up and carried to a house, where he |
expired in a short time.
Two OF Mapula's companions were |
in the vicinity by the police,
and two more are wanted for conspiring |
20 kill Durham.

DIR. Rainsford poured something like
hot shot into the Society For the Study
of Life, to which he had been invited
to speak. The general aim of the So
ciety appears to be Malthusian. 1t
wants marriage regulated and kept
within scientific limitations, because if
it goes on at the present headlong rate
the kindergartens cannot keep up with
the production. But DR.. Rainsford be-
heved in large families His experience
of life had not taught him that large
families, even among the poor, were a
misfortune. He was inclined to believe
that a greater misfortune was small
families or no families at all among the
rich. The possession of children brought
responsibilities that rose to heroism
There might not be luxury, but there
was pretty sure to be affection and 10y
atty. He believed in large families, and
he thought nature agreed with him.
This homely assertion of a healthy con-
viction rather disconnected the scientific
progressives who were mainly anxious
to dodge large families so that they
could give more time to discussing life.

Could anything be more absurd than
the attempt of few foreign ministers
in Washington to snub the Mexican
ambassador on account Of his former
connection with the death of Maximil-
ians The whole of that unfortunate
Macmillan disaster has passed into the
region Of sentimental "Reminiscences, and
the attempt to visit Austrian vengeance
on the Mexican minister is just about
the smallest kind Of malice that has its
inception in the circles of European
courts. It is pleasant to be able to re-
cord that the best official society Of
Washington went out Of it's way to
show the Mexican ambassador that it
would not permit such an intrigue to
have long life.
