AN AMENDED COMPLAINT.

In the suit of James G.. Nier against
John Metz to decide title to a half in
terest in the Metz quartz claim. a second
amended complaint was filed in the dis
trict court today. The plaintiff asks
the court to restrain the defendant from
extracting ore from the property while
the suit is pending and compel him to
account for that already taken out: and
on the final determination of the suit
to declare him an equal owner with the
defendant in the property. The Metz
claim is said to contain a 6-inch streak
of very rich gold ore, but if third Judge
is not appointed to assist in handling
the legal business of the second judicial
district both the plaintiff and defendant
are liable to be several years older be-
fore title to the streak is determined
for the case will doubtless take it's place
on a calendar which is now many wears
behind. The Metz is located in the vicin-
ity of the Colorado company's old con-
contractor and is probably source of
much of the placer gold taken from the
bed of Silver Bow creek in years gone
by.

MOVING ALONG
SP[ENOIDLY
The NEW COUNTY OFFICERS ARE
ATTENDING STRICTLY TO
BUSINESS.
STARTING IN WITH
EXCELLENT RECORDS.
Amended Complaint in Metz Suit-Ac-
lions for Divorce-Other Matters
in the Court.

If the new county officials keep NOV
ing along in the future as they have in
the past week they will have made a
splendid record Tor themselves at the
expiration of their term. Sheriff Furey
and his deputies have experienced some
difficulty in getting things shaped in
their department. but nevertheless they
have overcome the obstacles ana are
now squarely in the working harness.
If ability and strict attention to bust
ness is a criterion by which to judge,
the future of the sher.ff's office. PRIV a,e
citizens whose property falls into the
hands of covetous burglars will not be
compelled to run the burglars % earth
themselves. as did w. Q. Clymo about
a year or two ago.
Judging by the able MAJ Or in which
Samuel NJ. Roberts is handling the bust
ness of the courts he is SUSPECTED Of
having had some previous eXperenue as
clerk in some judicial body. All of the
business Of his office is being conducted
in a businesslike ana thorough manner,
and his patrons can depend upon it that
the good work will continue.
\. A, Crossman and his deputy Sol
Lachman, take as kindly to the duties
of the auditors office as duck does to
water. and the new assessor. Dan
Brown, is right at home in the going.
With such experienced men as John
Weston and E. A. Whips at the helm
in the office of the county clerk, there
can be only one reSult-good service.
AS a county attorney Peter Breen has
started out to make a record for himself,
and he will no doubt accomplish his
purpose He has already systematized
the work of the office and will conduct
it along lines entirely in keeping with
proper regard for the safety of the
public. Alexander Mackel and Daniel
1ancey, his principal assistants, are
both competent. honest men ana will
never be found Sinking their duty.
Judge Harvey is a typical dissent
nator of justice and is very courteous to
the attorneys who appear before him.
So far the judge has confined himself
to preliminary work. but his decisions
indicate that he is not wanting in any
respect. \ bright future for him is pre-
dicted.

A "Reminiscences.

For all time will the memory of
the "Lost Cause be revered by
the noble sons of the South who
wore the gray and the great cause
for which they strove, and in the
defence of which so many of the
South's brave sons gave up their
lives. Eternal and imperishable
are the principles, and the names
and fame of those who fought for
and "fell in defence of country
and of truth" will be loved and
honored as long as Time ''turns
with tears the pages of it's battle
years."
Vividly the scenes of the early
sixties came trooping up in the
memory of the Banner" editor
as he read a private letter from
his brother, written at Montgom-
cry, Ala, a few days ago. Most
of those who participated in the
events of the days that truly
t'tried mems souls" have long
since passed across the dark river,
and in a few years all will have
found eternal rest.
Says the writer:
81 visited the old Confederate
Capitol, and as I stood upon the
spot where Jefferson Davis was
inaugurated President in 1861, it
brought unpleasant memories
forth. The longer live the more
l feel that our cause was just, and
the more l regret that we did not
succeed.
Montgomery is a pleasant
looking city of the old Southern
style. It has not undergone many
changes, and looks the more pic
turesque in consequence"

Indian Murderer Shot to Death.

HoLDENvILLE, I. T., Feb. 28.-
Johnson Miller, a full blood Creek
Indian, was shot to death to-day
by masked men.
Miller, who was under arrest for
the murder of Herbert McDade,
had been brought here pending
hearing before the United States
Commissioner. About 40 armed
and masked men forced an entry
into the farm house of Robert
Stewart near town whittier Miller
had been taken for safe keeping,
disarmed guards and began shoot
ing at the prisoner at short range.
He jumped through screen door
and fled across the yard, clearing
a four foot picket fence at one
leap. After running 80 yards he
was overtaken and shot to death.
More than a dozen bullet holes
are in his body.
Miller had committed three cold
blooded murders within six
months, besides numerous rob-
berries.
Three weeks ago he murdered
an old man named Cherry. Last
September he murdered Joe Har-
wood, but his most heinous crime
was the killing OF young McDade,
whom he shot, then built fire
upon the body, partially cremat-
ing it. The remains lay in the
woods undiscovered for seven
days.
Miller was twice sentenced to
be shot by the now defunct Creek
government but was pardoned by
the chief, l.. c. Perryman.
