No Charge for Grazing.

Superintendent l. B. Hanna, in charge of the government forest re- serves in New Mexico and Arizona, states that under d recent ruling of the interior department no charge is to be made for the grazing of cattle and horses on the forest reserve. Sheep are permitted to graze in limited numbers, for experimental purposes, only on the Black Mesa and San Francisco moun- tain reserves in Arizona. Last spring the government announced that a charge of cents per head per annum would be made for horses and cattle and cents head for sheep permitted to graze within the reservation. but this feature has now been eliminated. Until further experiments are made with the sheep grazing on the two Ari- zOna reservations above named and the results ascertained, no sheep or goats will be allowed on reserves in New Mexico

Correspondence Of the Alexandris Gazette.

Correspondence OF the Alexandra Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March 5.
The U. s. Supreme Court today de-
cidsi the case of Receiver Aldricb of
the Fidelity National Bank of CiDcin-
natl against the Chemical National
Bank Of New York. Before the Fidel-
ty failed e. L. Harper, its vice pres-
dent, on behalf of the bank, borrowed
$500, 900 from the New York bank. The
receiver refused to pay it on the ground
that Harper had no right to borrow it.
The court held that right or no right
the Fidelity got the money and used it
and that the Chemical is entitled to it,
dividend share of the money thus loan
ed. The court also in the case of Gee

Race Trouble Feared.

Letchatchie, Ala, March Son,
thousand negroes are up in arms ovel
the assassination of Jim Crosby, one @
their race, who was called to the dool
of his house at midnight Saturday auC
riddled with buckshot. When he fel
the assassins rushed into the house anC
dragged his wife and little daughter
from the bed and shot them severa
times, leaving them for dead. The
news spread quickly and the negroes
have crowded into this place from
towns within a radius of 80 miles
They declare they know the assassin
and will be reveDged. The whites are
also well armed ana if the negroes fire
the first shot, there will be horrible
slaughter. The trouble grew out Of
the shooting OF Sam Powell, q promi-
nent merchant, by negro several dsy:
ago. The negro was caught and lyEcn-
ed. The negroes declared they would
avenge their comrade and 10 this de-
claration Jim Crosby was the most fear
less spokesman.
