If Mr.. Croker means business, and
wishes to appear as an angel of light, as
servant of the public, did he never
hear of the duly constituted authorities
of the state, and did it never occur to
him that the machinery is ready to his
hand, if he chooses to set it in motion,
without arrogating imperial prerogatives
and authority?
But this stage play-this horse play,

REPLY FROM A CALIFORNIAN.

"A AsAIA - L ANoNA "A O<1AAE O1NNAANs
EDITOR CONSERVATIVE:
In your editorial on the dismissal of
Prof Ross by the trustees of the Stanford
University, you say:
"Lst those in charge make it place
to teach young men hoW to think and
not aOhat to think"
This is good doctrine and it was be-
cause the trustees believed this that Ross
had to go. He did not try to teach the
young men hoW to think but tried to teach
them aUhat to think, and this What was of
the kind that Bryan and Altgeld and
Heron and Bemis and Ely were trying
to make the mass of our people think.
Had he confined himself to what you
have conceived to be the duty of
teacher, he would still be numbered
with the honored members of the
faculty. He was not satisfied with that
but must insist that the students must
not only listen to his TRADES in favor of
socialism and anarchy but must endorse
them simply because he asserted they
were true. The talk of his being
dumped" on account of his opposition
to coolie immigration is all humbug and
was propagated by him as a ready
cushion on which to let himself down
easy.

Then there is the mysterious English
man, who should likewise have become
scared" of Jim and hired Griff to put
him out of the way. The sum even is
mentioned-it was $4,000. There was
an Englishman staying at Griff's ranch,
and he and Jim were "at outs" This
much is certain. And there is talk of
witness to the transaction, who was
spirited out of the way. Miss Bird
mentions the Englishman's story in one
of her foot notes, and with her usual
frankness mentions his name he was
Mr.. Fodder, whom she had met on her
travels and didn't like. Another Park
story says that it was Lord Hague, from
whom Mummy Mountain got the name
it bears on the maps.
At all events, Evans was wrought up
to the necessary pitch, and one morning
when Jim stopped at his door for drink
of buttermilk the thing was done.
Some mention at this point that Jim had
kept the Evans family in meat all that
summer, while Griff was off drinking
and gambling down below. Griff loved
his family, was kind and affectionate
husband and father, but would spend
his last cent having fun, though they
were in want. And this time, seeing
Jim outside with thirst, he stepped to
the door in his stocking feet and shot
him. Some say that Jim dropped over
the side and shot back, ineffectively,
from under his horses neck others that
Evans shot the horse first and then it's
rider. This happened at the first divid-
ing of the road after one reaches the
Park level Griff Evans cabin stood
where now is the English Lodge house.
After this, it is related that Jim was
arrested and taken to Longmont. Moth.
ing was ever done to Evans. Jim lived
some weeks, or perhaps months. He
got "up and around" and there are
those who visited and talked with him
in this period. He made no attempt to
"get" Evans, as one would expect the
desperate of the book to have done
There was even room for doubt whether
it was the wound that occasioned his
death, which occurred some time later
in Ft. Collins.
AS for Evans, he no doubt lived hap.
PLY ever after. The stone house that
one passes in going out from Lyons is
named as later habitation of his, and
he was for time postmaster at jim
town; and in that place he died
within the last half. year.

CONTINUOUSLY slnCc 1uo spring VI lOlO,
when the Mac Gregors, the James, the
Spragues and the Fergusons moved in
nor are there lacking settlers who were
there before that time, though they are
not so easy to find. The writer even
knows where the remains of his cabin
are to be seen, but will guard the knowl
edge as jealousy as he would the secret
of his mushroom patch, because he
wishes to secure dornick from Jim's
fire place for his own collection the
next time he goes out.
The stories of Jim differ, as may be
expected, but they all agree that he was
not such bad man as he persuaded
Miss Bird Ask the natives whether he
was not a desperate murderer and you
will get a good natured laugh. He
might have killed somebody before he
came out there, they say but he never
gained any right to that reputation in
that neighborhood. There was no harm
to be approached from old Jim, by their
account, unless his pistol went off by
accident when he was drunk and got to
swinging it around and blowing, as was
his custom. 1--WE told him to his face
he was thief" says one informant,
"when I had no gun and Jim was
armed. I didn't consider there was any
more risk in telling him what thought
of him than in talking to you now"
1t would appear, however, that all his
neighbors did not take him so philo.
sophically There is tradition that he
forbade anyone but himself to settle in
Muggins Gulch, where he had
his pastoral dwelling. Muggins
Gulch is some five miles in
length, and now contains half. dozen
ranches. One individual, wandering
over the mountains with Winchester,
in search of rabbits" considers this
strange state of affairs "didn't nobody
have gun besides Jim?"
One of those who took him seriously
was the Welshman, Evans, the same
who finally shot him. Their disagree.
ments were numerous, as many, per-
haps, over cards and liquor as over
weightier matters, and it is said that
Jim had Evans completely terrorized.
An eyewitness describes a quarrel be-
tween them in Longmont, when Jim
forbade Evans to go home told him he,
couldn't 60 through Muggin's Gulch
alive. ''Some way or other old Jim had
managed to get Griff scared, and he
was nearly afraid to go home. said
to Jim, you old duffer, you want to quit
your bluffing, because some day some
body'll call you; they'll make meat of
you"
This informant considers Evans own
terrors to have been ample grounds for
the final catastrophe, but there were

ton to the Constitutional Amend

safe to do so, and hence we urge
upon every Democratic voter to
be most careful as the polls on

Last Saturday after the ARGUS

volved ia a political argument on
Chestnut street in front Of the
stables Of Mr.. j. F. Switzerland.
The two men finally came to
strong words as the dispute
Grew warmer. Toler talking for
the Amendment and Talton
against it. Without warning
Talton grabbed a round out of a
nearby cart and struck Toler
over the head several times, even
after he had fallen to the ground
Toler seemed unconscious for a
while, but was later on put on
his wagon and sent home.
Taltop, who is recently out OF
the penitentiary, was permitted
to make his escape, although
there were several people stand
ing by and looking on.
Soon after Toler was Sent
home the report was circulated
on the street that he had died or

ground yesterday and was gen
orally. accepted as true. This
morning while the people o
Goldsboro were sympathizine
with his distressed family Mr.
Toler appeared before Mayo

MAYORS COURT.

An Unusual Large Number OF Offenders
Before His Honor.

This morning when Mayor
Peterson convened his court he
found an unusual lengthy docket
demanding his attention. There
we're eighteen cases in all, a ma
jority Of which we're the result
of the regular Saturday night
DRINKS and disorders.
Will Toler, young negro man,
was sent to jail on account Of his
inability to give a $500 bond.
Toler was caught last night in
the restaurant of Charly Groom,
where he had broken in and was
preparing to eat all the cooked
victuals on hand. George Wat
son and Mary Bell Sutton two la.
dies Of color, were charged with
using obscene language on the
street Saturday night, and were
sent to Jail to await the Septem-
Der term of Superior court be-
cause they failed to give bond
required. A number of cases
we're disposed of for trivial of
fences and the offenders were le'
go with small fines. and still 6
number were continued until this
afternoon on account of witnesses
not being present. Some were dis
charged as not guilty.

The Alpha Phi Literary Society OF
Howard University held it's third an
nual prize debate for the 81. A. Brown
gold medal, Friday January 26th, in the
Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. A
large and appreciative audience was
present and listened with rapt at
tention to the intelligent discussion of
a most interesting subject. "Resolved,
That International Disarmament is
Now Timely" The affirmative side was
argued by Mr.. W. E. Davis of the Theo
logical department and MIR. R. Henri
Scott of the Law school. The negative
argument were presented by Messrs.
Jas. w. Bats and Neral II. Thomas Of
the College department. The discussions
were logical and interesting and several
OF the speakers showed exceptional
