A WRONG SYSTEM.

1t is exceedingly difficult for the
sheriff OF M.ricopa county to do his
duty in a1cass like the New River
murder This official doesn't gee any
too much salary at hest and the for
mer ruling Of this board sheriff CAM
not afford to expend large sums 6f
money hunting for cri ininals, and not
be allowed anything by the super
visors You must get the criminal or
yoar expenses are Your own. While
III the main this works we'll. yet it
prevents officers from doing their
duty IN the premises. A sheriff ought
to, be allowed to exercise his own
judgment in the matter of hunting
criminals, and when this power is
lodged 10 the board of supervisors
criminals are ticiensed to commit
crime and 90 free. For instance, in
this New River murder, the sheriff
has got to secure the men before he is
allowed bis travelling expenses. The
system is wrong and tends to beges
crime in our ,ountY.2Gazette. 2 :,

anca to lite Insurance 'compahips has
been made by the Supreme Court OF
tht. United States, affirming Mis-
souri decision. A policy holder af er
carrying insurance in the New York
Life for several years, allowed it to
lapse 10y the non payment Of pre-
miums, Upon his death his wife sued
to recover the amount Of the iusur-
ancc, contend;ng that notwithsrand
ing the nom daymens of the premiums,
she was entitled TO recover the face Of
tn. policy BY applying tho reserve
upon the policy for this purpose. She
was beaten in the lower court, but
the Supreme Court of Missouri, to
which she appealed, reversed the lower
G urt and gave her judgment The
insurance companJ then carried the
case to the Supreme Court of the
United States, and the decision of
that tribunal sustains the Missouri
Supreme Court. The effect of such a
decision will be to bring up millions
of dollars of claims upon insurance
companies, from benefjcciaries of per-
sons whose policies had been allowed
10 laps, as in this case, and which
we,e supposed to be old and uncol-

that drouth seasons usually occurred
