QUEER JUSTICE IN ARIZONA.
One Man Fined for Not Drinking, An
other Acquitted of killing a Negro.

WILLIAMS, Ariz., Feb. 25.-Justice
courts in Arizona, perhaps like most other
courts of the kind on the frontier, are not
always presided over by officials who have
made law a close study. Their decisions In
Arizona frequently make the blind god
dess shudder. A justice who was new to
the business of law proved himself equal to
the emergency recently in this place. 1t
was a case where a prisoner was brought
before him charged with insanity. Several
witnesses were examined, and it was con-
clusively proved that he was insane. having
refused to drink when invited. and by other
similar actions having convinced those who
knew him that he had gone entirely wrong.
After a brief examination of the wit
nesses the justice leaned back in his chair
and with look of profound wisdom on his
face delivered himself of a decision as fol-
lows: Young man IL has been proved that
you have done sundry things, which said
things have led me and the rest of US to
believe that you are wrong In the garnet;
therefore, T. with all the judicial power
vested in me. do hereby fine you SIS and
costs You may go now, but don't let TINS
happen again."
Another instance that fttingly illustrates
the fellow feeling of the average juror
occurred not long ago. A tough citizen,
who had been absorbing a decoctton OF
liquid that would corrode the armor plate
of the Oregon, concluded that the town was
getting too tame. He picked up rifle that
was standing behind one of the bars he
had been patronizing freely, and went
out into the street. A negro woman CHANGED
to be passing that way, and he proceeded
to empty the contents of the rifle into her
body; then calmly returned the rifle to the
6arkeeper and went to sleep. He was ar
rested and tried before a jury in the Dis
tIict Court. The jury discovered that the
man was troubled with alcoholic insani-
ty," and he was promptly acquitted and
turned loose.
Quoted II this manner, but many OF them
are parody on real courts of justice. The
jury Is apt to take into consideration the
fact of the prisoner at the bar being a
good Teller and act upon 1t rather than
unon the facts in the case.

Hodgesville & Elizabeth Railway Company,
ran its first car out of Hodgesville about
ten months ago. The people from the sur
rounding country came to town that day,
among them an old mountaineer. He was
very much impressed. 1t was the first car
he had ever seen. The boys tGkingly told
him that the car was off for Europe. and
after much persuasion got him aboard.
After the car had started the old fellow
rushed to the door and tried to ger OF.
He was restrained. Then. thinking all he
had heard was true he pulled off his cap,
and In the most serious voice said:
'Goodhy, these United States
THAT is but one incident showing the
ignorance of the mountaineers. There are
hundreds like him In the mountains.''

lied that the operations In the Sudan are
now certain and unsurpassed instead Of

from Colonel Wingate, whether In Cairo
or at the court of Menelik. or on the shores
of Lake Chad. As a press censor he has
only one fault. He is so indispensable 10

II noticed yesterday a statement attrib-

the effect that within a few years nearly
all OF the surplus food products OF the
Mississippi valley would go TO the West
and finally be consumed at that place we
call the Far East said Mr.. Joseph Hol-
comb. of London. England. 1 am not dis
putting the statement. IL not wholly true,
IL is sufficiently correct to be very impor-
tant TO the people OF our little island. At
present we are consuming most of those
surplus food products. If the Asiatics are
going to eat your flour and other things.
what are we going 10 do? With another
bidder for these foods. does IL mean that
prices will be higher? 1t is said that we
fix prices in Liverpool on grains. Will We
do so any longer? 1 would not be sur
prised IL the United States did dominate
the Eastern situation after all. America
will give cheap flour and less diplomacy
The natives may be unreasonable as
to like the flour better than our own love-
ly diplomacy"

THE EASTWOOD TRIAL.
The Case to Come Before the Addison
County Court Next Week.

toHntN court Next W eek.
The Eastwood case will come up for
trial before the Addison county court on
Tuesday next. Attorney F. L. Fish of
Nergennes and Judge VIM. II. Bliss of
Middleburv will prosecute: while present
States Attorney James 3. DOnoway of
Middleburv. who was assigned to the de-
fense bef0re his appointment to the
states attorneys office. and Attorney
r. w. Moloney of Rutland will appear
for the respondent Eastwood, who
since the December term of county court.
lS99 has been confined at the Waterbury
retreat for the insane, under a law which
provides that when plea of insanity is
made an ample test shall be provided
under expert supervision, will be brought
to Mddlebury on Monday by Sheriff
Chapman. The case will no doub+ ere
ate great deal of interest and attract
many to the court room.
Attorney Donoway has been in Massa-
chusetts this week collecting evidence
for the defense. / he conducts the case
as outlined before the December term of
court, he will bring up witnesses to
show that Eastwood is subject to epi-
leptic fits that he once met with a rail-
way accident which affected him men,
tally; that it was during one of his fits
that he committed the crimes with which
he stands charged, and that in conse-
quence he was mentally irresponsible
therefor. Officials from the Waterbury
retreat will no doubt also be called to
give expert opinion based on their obser-
vations of the past six months.
The crimes for which Frederick East
wood will be tried were committed on
the night of Aug. II, 1899. He lived in
Greenfield, Mass, where he was en-
plOyed on the railroad as a section hand.
His wife was the daughter of Mrs. Mar
ietta Brown of East Middleburv, and she
left him for alleged cruelty and returned
to her mothers home. Efforts on his
part to have her return and live with him
proved unavailing, and on the date above
mentioned he came up from Greenfield
to Mddlebury. drove out TO Mrs. Browns
residence in East Middlebury, entered
the house, and after Il few words of con-
versatiOn with his wife shot her in the
breast, inflicting a severe though not
fatal injury. He then turned upon Mrs.
Brown and shot her in the arm, causing
only flesh wound. Jumping into his
buggy he drove like mad to Mddleburv
and to the home of his brother-ln-law,
Frank Fem. to whom and Mrs. Fem he
attributed in part the refusal of his wife
20 r--uru 10 him. The Fenus had retired
for thn "iEh- and Eastwood called them
