q Yesterdays burning at the stake OF a
negro murderer I'm Colorado was at
Tended by circumstances OF deliberate
terocity which makes Il the most fend-
lsh thing OF it's kind ever known In a
Northern State Indians could not
nave gone more callously to the tortur-
Ing Of a victim The ordinary excuses
do not serve in this case There is no
race question In Colorado. II cannot
be said there that fearful torrents
must be melted out to all negro crlmi-
nals in order 70 make the lives Of
whites secure. Nor was It a question
OF a bowling mob driven to sudden and
uncomfortable frenzy. A week had
passed since the crime Preparations
TO lynch this guilty man were made
with all the elaboration Of the public
meeting. The form OF agony by which
the wTetched man should be put TO
death was decided by a kind Of popu-
lar vote. Telegraph operators were
notified, and photographers advised to
be ready for snap shots" Of the dying
struggles.

That is an odd excuse for not holding
an inquest in the case Of the negro
Porter over In Colorado--that no re-
mains can be found But the ashes are
there: some grain OF ashes must re-
main on the soil where the law delib-
erately laid down and closed It's eyes
while mob law unmasked rode the
breeze But an inquest Is not, perhaps,
necessary, for every one knows who
burned the wretch II now there Is TO
be no procedure against any OF these
people. as the district attorney init
mates. II win amount 20 approval OF
murder and outrage. The men should
be brought 10 trial who committed the
crime Of burning the negro. OF course
no Jury In Colorado would convict
them. But they should be tried never
theless.

Truly this Is a strange world. A Rome
dispatch says that an international
congress, attended by one thousand
delegates assembled In the Eter-
nal City on Sunday last to discuss
the use Of cannon 70 prevent hail which
Is so destructive TO crops, The theory
Is that firing cannon into the air would
have the effect OF breaking up the rain
clouds. 1t is only few years since the
United States government made large
appropriation for the purpose OF bonn
harding the heavens that rain might be
produced. The artillery operations were
conducted by General Dyrenforth, a
Washington attorney with the result
that the appropriation was used up and
no rain produced, The Italian cannon
hail congress Will be no more success
ful, These people make too much noise

WHEELMEN ARE OBEDIENT
No Arrests on Lamp 0rdinance-The
 First Bicycle Club.

Since the time, two weeks ago, when the police department decided on a strict enforcement of the bicycle lamp ordinance not a single arrest has been made on the strength of that law. The officers claim that they are in earnest as to their determination in the matter, but that no rider has, as yet, dared 10 go lightless. It is only possibly that the police, as well as the riders. see the unfairness of the ruling in forcing bikes and no other vehicles to display lamps, and manage to avoid seeing the wheels that have no lights, but however that may be- the wheelmen are unmolestel It is said that before the active season for cycling arrives the council will be petitioned to repeal the obnoxious or dinance.
 The bicycle club is in restful con- dition at present. but is laying plans for an active season this fall.
 MT. w. l.. Pinney, in discussing cycl- ing matters a few days ago. recalled the fact that he was one of four mem bers of the original Phoenix bicycle club. The other members were Messrs. F. w. Taylor, H. F. Robinson and w. H. Robinson. The quartette was mounted on Star bicycles of the high wheel variety with the small wheel in front. They were cumbersome ma chimes, but considerel the acme of per lection in those days. The club was formed in 1889 and made occasional excursions into the country nearb, although the roads then were ungrav- eled and the small tires of the bicycles were net at all conducive to ease of riding in the desert sand. In those days a bicycle cost from $40 to S200 and were indeed rare in the southwest.

FIRST CATCH YOUR HARE"
Sheriff Murray's Ideas on Raiding
 Gang of Bandits.

Sheriff Murray is of the belief thac the raid contemplated by Cochise and Pinal county officers, on the outlaws hidden in the mountains of that county will result in naught. is the inten- tion of these officers to form a large posse and round up all suspicious char acters in that vicinity. hoping to find a cIew to the murderers of Howe and Wheeler. killed last week, and to other criminals who are wanted for various causes. "I do not see how any good can result from such an expedition" said the sheriff. Tn the first place, there has been considerable buster in the preparations, and as the outlaws in that county have spies in touch with the officers, they have been notified by this time that plans are being laid for the raid and had time to get away. Then. again, even if the posse does, as it probably will, run down a number of the supposed bandits, what good will it do them? There is positive proof again, but few of the suspicious charac- ters whom they may find. and convic- tions or ability to hold them will be diff fcult There is only one way to put a stop to the depredations of the gang of outlaws and that is, when ever a crime is committed, follow the trail while it is hot and get the men when some spe- cific charge may be laid against them
 The situation of the officers in this ter ritory is just the same as with the au- thorities in the large cities. In the towns the police know that certain gangs of crooks rendezvous at certain
 nd in criminals every day. They know that
