WHY HE DID NOT INTERFERE.
Judge Tannehi11 Answers the Hera1d's
Criticism.

From the Beaver Herald.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Allow me a small
space in your columns to reply to
your criticism of my objectionable
forbearance". If two private citizens
had entered into a broil in my pres
ence 1 should have put stop to it
Immediately. But when man hold
ing the high position of an attorney
and claiming to be an officer of the
court, will, without any cause or
provocation take the liberty to in
suit man by making light and tri-
vial remarks about a man and his
family, and especially to known
enemy, when an attorney gets s'jolly"
and wants to make spectacle of
himself and accepts challenge for
smuggling match he can always rely
on my permission to do SO or take
water, the little editor to the contrary
notwithstanding.
The rudest act on the part of Mr..
Painter was when he came back into
the room and stopped by Mr.. Miller
and backed up to him, leaving the
impression on the court that he had
Mr.. Miller worked up to that degree
of heat that he could warm himself
in front of him and that it was not
necessary to pass on to the stove.
Mr.. Miller pushed him away. Then
Mr.. Painter appealed TO the court
to arrest and fine him for assault.
The court looked upon it as justif-
able assault after such an indignity
had been offered on the part of the
attorney.
o, yes, Mr.. Editor, when an at
torney wishes to enter into the show
business he can always rely on my
consent to allow him to do so.

THE NEN KANSAS CITY TINES.

The recent change in the management of The
KANSAS CITY TINES has made such an impression
on the minds of the thinking public of Kansas City
that it seems but fair to let all Our friends know
what we are doing.
By the infusion of new blood, the employment
of new energy, the backing of ample capital-un-
der the personal supervision of Hon. A. A. Les
ueur, Secretary of State of Missouri, Editor-in-
Chief-it is the determination of the present man
agement to make The TINES the greatest morn
ing paper that enters the Southwest territory
With this purpose in view, every department
is enlarged and placed under competent direction,
more Associated Press news is printed than by
any other Kansas City paper, most efficient staff
of correspondents is being established, and the
finest service which modern ingenuity can produce
is placed at the disposal of TINES patrons.

The naval officers seem to think
that the war vessels would be sufi-
Gent to protect the Nicaragua Canal
in times of war. Certainly they
could do it but this nation would
probably want them at some other
place in case the canal is built and
we should engage in war with some
other nation. We think if this coun-
try should build canal it should
have absolute control of it and not
be hampered by any treaty with any
other nation. Uucle Sam is able
to look out for himself and knows
enough to be fair with all other ma
tons withour entering into any con-
tracts to do so. We are for a canal
owned, controlled, fortified, and
operated by Americans.

The Cimarron Jacksonian last
week gave an account of a Jew
peddler coming into town and work
ing it for II orders for an encyclo-
pedia at $40, when the same thing
could be bought in town for SIS.
This shows how people like to be
humbugged, and think that what
they buy outside of town, or from
tome fakir is better than that they
buy al home. The editor of the
Jacksonian was among the suckers
who bit. But these fakirs generally
keep on the side of the editor by
advertising, which is more than
some of the home merchants do.
Meade merchants generally are good
advertisers, as will be seen by
glancing at the News columns.

The "Pear1ette Call"

Last week we gave the origin of
the first colony in Meade county.
Naturally we would wonder how it
was named Pearlette. We quote the
following from the Call of April IS,
1879, which fully explains:
PEARLETTE.
We have, as you know by our
heading, named our settlement
Pearlette; but you will naturally ask
the reasons for calling it Pearlette
in preference to Sunshine, the name
adopted before we left GAINESVILLE.
In the first place the name Sun
shine was adopted by default, so to
speak; in palmer terms, it was sug-
gested by US and used. on our circu-
lars, and no one offered the least
objection, or brought forward any
other name.
But when we arrived in Meade we
found the names offered were legion,
with faint hopes of uniting on any
one of them. But shortly after our
arrival our Heavenly father in his
wisdom saw fit to call home one of
the fairest and brightest of our jew
els: little Pearl Atkinson. Being
the first one of our flock to be call
ed away, how natural that we should
wish to perpetuate her memory.
And in what way could this be done
more efectually than by inseperably
linking her name with that of our
settlement? Hence, when Brother
Copeland suggested the name of
Pearlette, on that sad day when we
bore little Pearl to her grave, every
member present found in his own
breast ready response to the feel
ings which prompted name so ap-
propriate, and our new home was
thereupon christened Pearlette.
Under other circumstances, and
for personal reasons, we would have
preferred the name first brought for
ward, but as it was we were among
the first to welcome the new word,
Pearlette.
The following in the same paper,
of the same date is the obituary of
the little girl:
LITTLE PEARL.
When our colony left GAINESVILLE
on the 18th of February little we
thought that in less than a month
one of our number would lie cold in
death; little we dreamed our first is
sue would contain a death notice.
But scarce had we arrived in Dodge
till one of our fairest little ones sick
ened; and on the morning of the
I2th of March, at the residence of
Howard Lowery, in Meade Co., lit
tie Pearl Atkinson closed her eyes
in death, having been brought from
Dodge the day before.
Although she died on the very
border of civilization, and hundreds
of miles from home, yet her last suf-
ferings were made lighter by the
ministratlons of friendly hands; all
that could be done was done. But
ugly death stood without the por-
tails, issuing his orders, and the
spirit of Pearl must needs take its
flight across the river.
She was buried on the following
day. and nearly every member of
the settlement was present:
Poor Pearl! She was a sweet
child. Her death was a sad mis-
fortune, and by it we have another
instance of the peculiar ways of
Providence, and are once again
forced to ask, "Who will be next?"
Next week we shall reprint other
extracts of interest.

WHO ARE SOUATTERSi
The Recent Order Issued by the General
 Land Office as to Forest Reserves.

The following is taken from the Pres colt Journal Miner, and is of more than passing interest to many people in this county. The editor of that paper is receiver of the land office at Prescott and 5he information given is reliable:
 "The recent order issued from the general land office to forest rangers to notify all squatters and trespassers on the forest reserves to vacate has raised the question. Who are squatters?" Some of the forest rangers do not seem to be able to answer the question, as notice has been served by them upon several apparently bona ide settlers to vacate their places.
 The land laws give a settler upon surveyed land ninety days after settle ment to appear at the land office and take appropriate steps towards secur- ing title to the land he occupies. Fail- ing to do this within that time he be- comes a trespasser and the land is sub iect to entry by any other qualified eDtryman.
 "A settler upon unsurveyed land is not permitted to file or make entry of his land in the land office until after survey of the land. He is then allowed ninety days after the plat of the town ship in which he is located is filed in the land office to make his entry or filing. and no valid entry or filing can be made upon such land by any other entryman during this ninety days period of preference right accorded to the settler. Failing, however, to make
The Coconino sun., 1900-03-10

his entry or filing within the ninety days his land becomes subject to entry by any other qualified entryman.
 "In the absence of any adverse claim ant or protest a man may reside for years upon surveyed land and may then be permitted to make entry of the land, although his rights to such occupancy are subject to contest after the period of ninety days from date of settlement.
 "According to these provisions of the land laws the answer to the above question seems very simple. man who is residing upon surveyed land and whose residence covers period of more than ninety days is a squatter within the meaning of the law and sub iect to ejectment if his residence is within the limits of forest reserve.
 "One who has settled upon unsur- veyed land within the limits of a forest reserve since the date of the proclama- tion establishing such reserve, when all lands were withdrawn from entry, would also he considered in the light of trespasser.
 "One who has settled upon and who has cultivated and improved unsur- veyed land within the limits of a forest reserve. whose settlement was prior to the date of establishing said forest re- serve, must be considered as bona fide settler, since the government will not permit him to make any entry or filing upon the land until after its sur vey. Hence as long as he maintains a bona fide residence of land and culti- yates and improves the same he cannot be disturbed in his rights, provided he possesses the qualifications to enter the land when surveyed.

tits because Vinol acts so benefcially
upon the stomach that it accomplishes
SO much good.
Vinol contains the active curative
principles that are found in cod-liver
oil, without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act so
favorably upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the elements
necessary for creating new flesh. muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood.
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally, desire is created for good
simple food and a good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod-liver oil as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which it con-
tanned were too often unable to
counterfeit the harm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that in Vinol we have those
same elements separated from the vile
