 Miner does not claim that the Courier
 has supported any individual swindle
 but what it does claim is that by its vilification of \. o. Murphy for ex- posing the corrupt operators who were jeopardizing the mining interests of the territory, it virtually gives its moral support to such iniquitous schemes. The mining men of Yava- pal county thoroughly understand the question and it is unnecessary to go into detail. Governor Murphy was right and that's all there is to it.
 Those who attended the democratic convention in Phenix will remember Alfred Ruis, the s.alwart delegate from Apache county, who stood 50 nobly for Colonel Wilson. When the boys serenaded the colonel after the convention, at Hotel Adams. Mr. Ruiz said Colonel Wilson would get at least 800 majority in Apache. Now the county casts only about 600 votes. But this has nothing to do with Mr. Ruis. Two weeks ago a gentleman from the north said he would bet SIO Ruiz would vote for Mir. Murphy.

Steer al Mr.. Charles H Hoyt's instiga-
ton. You may hear it mooted around
that he suggested Goodwin, Jefferson and
John T. Raymond, but to my mind his
work was sheerly original. And if you
only knew how thoroughly I loathe the
atmosphere of politics in the glad
warmth of a theater you would realize
how completely impressive Mr.. Murphy $
work must have been.
The character of Melville GRANGE as
played by Tim Murphy stands out as one
of the finest pieces of acting that this
season has brought forth. There is no
doubt at all about that. Ten minutes at
the Fourteenth Street theater will con-
vince you that you are watching some
thing unusual Mansfield has never done
anything half as good in all the sympa-
thetic and unsympathetie characters that
he has portrayed. Mr.. Murphy should be
dragged uptown as quickly as possible
He should be accorded the freedom of the
city. Actors are few and far between
and they are becoming fewer and far
betweener. Think of this man knocking
at our gates when our souls are yearning
for something more stimulating than the
walking gentlemen in evening clothes.'

DESERTERS MUST HALT.
Private Soldiers Who Shot Deserter
Morgan Are Released.

Omaha, Neb., March 24-Judge Mum
ger last evening granted the writ of
habeas corpus in the case of Fair and
Jockens, the two members Of the Tenth
infantry at FIT. Crook held for trial in
the state court for the shooting of
Deserter Morgan. The men had prev
iously been acquitted by a court mar
tial. The judge held that the law of
1890 did not take away from the army
the authority to arrest deserters, but
gave the civil and military authorities
concurrent jurisdiction. He also held
that the trial and acquittaI by a mill
tary court for an offense against the
laws of the state was not a bar to oppose
cutiOn in the state courts. He held,
however, that a private was bound
to obey the order of his commanding
officer, and such order will be a full
protection unless the illeganty of such
order is so clearly shown on it's face
that a man of ordinary sense would
know when he heard it that such order
was illegal
The judge held that in thus obeying
the order to shoot the deserter, if he
refused to halt, the privates were pro-
tected and he consequently ordered

receiver made his report the Metropoli-
tan people began to figure. They saw
the great depreciation in the value of
the stock, and saw where great sums
could be saved in operating the road
in conjunction with the Metropolitan.
H. H, Vreeland, president of the Met

against any attempt at taking over the
road, after careful study of these fig
ures recently told Mr.. Whitney, Mr..
Ryan and others that he thought it
would be q good business venture for

Perhaps, but Mr.. Whitney did not say
so. their action was made all the more
satisfactory because they believed Mr..
Keene was short of the stock.
Mr.. Whitney was seen at his home

big transac tion. After passing over the
inception and contamination of the
transaction, with all its ramifications,
Mr.. Whitney was asked:

NEW SCHOOL HOUSES.
Shoot Board Will Expend $4,000 on
Buildings.

During the coming summer and fall
the school board hopes to expend about
S2S 900 on buildings.
Several new buildings and additions
are needed. A school house to replace
the Sumner school, which was burned,
additions of two rooms to Polk, Low
man Hill and Euclid schools are needed
Harrison school needs an edition of
two rooms to allow the two basement
rooms to be vacated. If more ground
can be bought adjoining the Sumner
site at Fourth and Western avenues
the school house will be built there and
if the price of the lots adjoining is too
much the building will be erected where
sufficient ground ca nbe secured. 1t is
probable that the Sumner building and
the addition to Polk will be built leaV-
ing money enough for one of the smaller
additions needed at either Euclid or
