argue the point usually came to grief in
the form Of the manner OF death above
mentioned.
best known OF whom were Virgil, Wyatt,
Warren and Julian. forming the quartette
referred TO. All OF them were gunfght-

men. one OF them his own brother-n-iaw.
Every one OF the Farps had killed his

Hot Times In Tombstone.
In the early eighties the carp family
abode at Tombstone. Ariz.. and did much
toward making that hamlet a thrilling
place OF residence.
There were then two factions at Tomb
stone, Virgil and wyatt Earn led one
Clauton and Jack Ringo. led the other
the rustlers. The stage robbers were in
politics Republican and stood up stages
and plundered express companies for n
livelihood. The rustlers were Democrats,
and devoted themselves to cattle steal
ing, murder whisky and faro bank as
steady pursuits. In these days Johnny
Behsn was sheriff OF Cochise county and
Virgil Farp was the marshal OF Tomb
stone. Rehan. as stated. belonged TO the
cow-thief Democracy party, while fTarp

FREIGHT POOL IS FORMED,
All Western Lines, According 70
Local Advices, VIII Join in Move
ment to Prevent Rate Cutting.

Local railroad freight officials are much
interested In movement now on foot,
IN which general freight agents OF ali
western lines are participating. 20 form
gigantic pooling system for the ptir-
pose OF heading of rate cutting.
This IN a plan, IL Is said that has been
attempted several times within the past
rev years, but for tho FIRST time there
Is indication of success. According to
present agreement II ia said joint agen-
eies VIII be established at 81. Paul. Omaha
ana Kansas city. At each OF these cit
les an agent will be placed in charge
o. the traffic passing through or ar
rivinv at these points. The St Paul
agency will look after the traffic over
the transcontinenta, and other lines west
OF that city to the Pacific coast and
the other offices will have charge OF
equal subdivisions of the remaining ter
rttory west OF the Missouri river
The result OF the plan will be-" said a
local freight man yesterday. ITO put all
roads, say. at Seattle, for instance, on
an equal footing. There will be no adj
vantake 10 any line as II will be use
less TO cut rates The Offices to be es-
tablished will be more on tho plan OF
clearing houses. and everything passing
through them will be at known and
public rate TO all lines"

ACTIONS speak louder thaniwords."
John X. Griggs, of New Jersey, has
been and is attorney general under
the republican administration. AS
such it is his duty, when federal stat
utes are known to be violated, to
bring action for their enforcement.
There is on the United States statute
books an antitrust law. Ex-senator
Edmunds, probably the greatest of
living constitutional lawyers, says it
is sufficient, if rigidly enforced, to
wipe every trust out of existence, yet
in the last three years more trusts
have been formed than in the whole
previous history of our government.
Why did not Mr.. Griggs enforce the
antitrust law? Why did he not, at
least, make an attempt to enforce it?
Why did not President Mckinley cen
sure his cabinet officer for dereliction
of duty? Surely no intense hostility
to trusts has been shown here.
Who called the republican national
convention to order, dominated it's ac
tons and was by it vested with ple-
nary powers as party manager, die

mngnate and millionaire.
Who was temporary chairman of the

a Tale of Two Shirts

The Argonaut: A discharged SOL
der, lately returned from the Philip
pines, tells n tale of shirt which is
too good to be lost. His company was
returning from q long and tircsome
scouting trip, in which most of the
men had parted with the greater part
of their wearing apparel, when he
saw on clothes line in the grounds
of residence adjoining big stone
church two very good shirts, hung out
to dry. AS he had at the time only
half shirt to his back, he proceeded
to help himself to whole one.
Whereupon woman came out of the
house and said to him, in passablc
English: You will pay for that on
the judgment day." Madam" he re-
Piled, IF you give such long credit,
1 will take both Shirts" which he pro-
ceeded to do.
