WHILE in Silver Guy last week
Judge Parker rendered a decision 10
the case OF Frank w. Cross VS.. the
Board nf county commissioners IN
favor OF Mr.. Cross. In April 1888 u
county warrant for 81, 246 "A was issued
TO A. b. Laird. MI. Cross has posses
sion Of this warrant. 1t was not re.
funded when all the outstanding
warrants were put into the shape OF
bonds. Mr.. Cross presented it for
payment and the county treasurer re
fused to pay IL, whereUpon he sued
the county, and has secured a Judge
ihent, which with interest amounts u
about $1,000. The LIBERAL is in
formed by a man who was for a long
time employed at the court house that
the wa rant was paid at me time by
the county treasurer, that he received
credit for the payment, and then in
some mysterious manner, which this
county employee could not explain,
the warrant got out of the treasurer's
office aud Once more iDtu circulation.

which had heeu pronounced illegal,
aud II was so mixed up that II could
not be returned 10 its proper owners.
This has been Strengthened out so the
men who have paid 10 this money can
get II back. The contractors have
opened a new set OF books, and the
set consists OF ninety volumes, each Is
Inches long, II inches wide, aud o. In
cbes thick, each book weighs thirty
pounds, making a total uf nearly a ton
aud a half Of books. The contractors
are losing money on the work, but
will do IL according to contract. This
is probably an extreme to the matter Of
exporting county books. II the work
had been properly done every two
years, IL would have saved the county
a great deal NJ money, and the tax
payers would have got their rights
long ago. Grant county will prOdt bl

For the arst time In the history Of
the Southern Pacific the pay a was
held I'D last week. 1t was not held
up by train robbers, but by the custom
officers, While The car was at Nos
gales, IL goes no further south than
NOgales, something raised the sus-
picions nt the custom guards, and a
watch was set on the car. Late In the
evening the inspectors saw a mOso and
a merchant named Suarez, from No
gales.Over the line, loading some cigars
on the pay a platform The moso
escaped but the merchant was caught.
The car was searched and several
boxes uf struggled cigars were found.
The car and It's occupants were arrest
ed aud held ave a day. Finally Pay
master Robinson was released under
$500 bonds to appear in January, 90
his next trip. NJ. A. Wilson, a clerk,
aud the cars porter and cook were
held under $500 bail each TO appear at
the same time. The Nngales paper
did not mention the presence OF Guy
P. Hull, WIN left here TO act as a
guard on the trip to San Francisco.
Mr.. Hull was long connected with the
customs service in San Francisco, and
would not mix up in any smuggling
scheme. He was so particular regard
ing the custom service that in Lords
burg he has often been known TO re-
fuse to smoke a cigar that he h d

REPoTs from Washington indicate
that while there is no sure thing Of
the statehood bills passing, yet that
New Mexico stands the best chance OF
any OF The territories OF being adult
ted. 1t is a matter OF population 10

wants to 1rst settle some Indian
Questions, which can be more salts
factOrilY settled before the territory
is admitted than afterward. Dele.
gate Rodey introduced bis bill provid-
ing for the admission OF New Mexico,
add IL was the second bill Introduced
10 the house. Senator Elkins, OF
West Virginia, formerly a delegate
from New Mexico introduced the bill
IN the senate. The territorial com
mitee has not been appointed IN the
house, nor arranged 10 the senate,
and IL Is thought that the senate com
mittee will not be announced 10 time
10 do any work before the holidays.
Owing to the election Of new senators,
death and changes there will be at
least ave new members TO be put on

ONE NJ the strung reasons advanced
against admitting Arizona 10 state
hood is that there are no competent
men 10 the territory to al the state
offices. This statement is made by
those familiar with the territory, and
is based on the history of the officers
Of the territory. For nfteen years no
man has held the office Of governor
the full term. Every II has either
resigned or been fred. Generally
those who have been fred have been
relieved from duty because OF the
charges made against them by mem
bers Of their " party, and 1t ha'
always been claimed that the change
has been made for the good OF the
territory. II the territory IA admit

would meet and adjourn before the

chances. On the other hand, during

AFTER KYLE'S TOCA
TO BE SENATOR FROM
SOUTH DAKOTA
IS THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE
The Senatorial Campaign of Next
Year for the Six-Year Term
strong Factor in the
Situation.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., July 5-(Spe
cial)-Hon. A. B. Kittredge, of this city,
will be the fortunate Republican upon
whose shoulders will fall the mantle of
the late Senator Kyle, and he will az
cept. This prediction is made after a
careful and exhaustive review and can
vass of the various candidates for United
States senator to fill the unexpired term
of the late Senator Kyle, based on pres
ent political conditions in this state.
The senatorial fight of next year for
the full six years term in the United
States senate, beginning March A. 1893.
will be determining factor In the ap-
pointment to fill the unexpired term of
Senator Kyle. There are several reasons
why Mr.. Kittredge will be the winner
In the first place the northern part Of
the state believes it is entitled to tl.e
next United States senatorship, Gamble
the newly elected senator, being a resi-
dent Of the extreme southeastern Dor-
tion. A number of candidates are in the
held in the northern part. Ali are PROM
inent Republicans and fully qualified for
the position. Should Gov Herreid con-
fer upon any Of them the prestige ac-
companying temporary appointment, 1t
would practically settle the senatorial
light for next year, and the other can
uidelSS anu IIelF IrlenOS would show
their resentment by inaugurating a war
fare upon the governor.
Gov. Herreid's first thought will be to
appoint to the vacant senatorshtp a
man of prominence and standing In The
party. Kittredge is such a man, and
has long been acknowledged to be one
of the strong men in the Republican
party of this state. I<ittredge is a resi-
dent of what is considered CANDLES dis
trict. and his appointment would leave q
clear field in the northern part of the
state for the various candidates for TIE
full term Of six years. This would satisfy
the candidates in the northern part Of
the state, and in addition would
strengthen Gov. Herreid in this judicial
circuit, which. Notwithstanding that IL
contains the largest Republican vote Of
any circuit in the state, has been yerv
shabbily treated by the Republican party.
not an office of any prominence in the
entire state being filed by a resident of
this circuit. Mr.. Kittredge is the logical
candidate, and men close to Gov. HerraId
unhesitatingly predict that he will be
atendered the appointment and will ac-
cept it.

the two boys had some words, and that
Albers raised q rifle that he had and

Koehler fan from the fence, said: I'm
sorry 1 did it.
When Albers saw what he had done
he ran Into the house and told his
mother The neighborhood was quickly
alarmed with the news, and during the
excitement Albers had run away. it was
not until the arrival of the police that
he was found in the cellar of his home
suspended by the neck from the end of
a rope tied to a beam. When he had
learned that Koeher was dead Albers
went to the cellar and, taking a piece
of rope, tied it to beam, and standing
on a cask fastened it about his neck
He then jumped from the cask and was

HILL TALKS RAILROADS
HEAD OF GREAT NORTHERN CON
FERS WITH J. T.. MORGAN
Mr.. Hill Says There Is Nothing New
in Northwestern Situation-Great
Northern Winding Its Own
business

NEW YORK, July 5.-(SpeciaI.)-J.
Pierpont Morgan and ]. J. HiH president
of the Great Northern, had a long con-
ference today in Morgan's office on
Broad and Wall streets There were
other railroad president and bank rs
and great men in the world Of commerce
gathered together in the Office but Mr.
Hill seemingly mad the right of way
and the longest conference. Mr. Hul
only returned to town yesterday from
his trip to Labrador on the Yacht Wa
couta. He is bronzed and seemingly IN
perfect health. Mr.. Hill spent part Of
the day at his railway office engaged
with Vice President Clough and otaers
of his officers who are here from ST.
Paul.
After his conference with Mr.. Morgan
Mr.. Hill said: There are no new de-
velopments in any railroad matters with
which I am connected. l have been
away on a yachting and fishing trip to
the st. Johns river, Canada I got back
last evening and shall start tomorrow
for st. Paul After a short stay there 1
shall visit the Pacific coast. l can't say
when I shall be back-may be in less
than a month. The Wacouta met us al
Quebec and we returned by water to
New York, thus avoiding the hot spell
on land during the last few days. 1
do not look for any further developments
in the Northwestern railroad situation
right away. There is really nothing to
say about Northern Pacific affairs.
How about the pending combinations
of steamship lines?"
Il doubt very much that there is any
plan to absorb many large ocean steam
ship companies, as the newspapers de-
clare, and I don't think there is to be
widespread purchase of lines owned by
railroads. The Great Northern is going
about it's business improving it's Pacific
service and we hope soon to be in shape
to handle a large Oriental trade, At the
same time don't wish to be construed
as saying anything about the affairs Of
others"
