The Snake Indian war just clos.
ed in the Greek country can not be
compared with any Of the other
great Indian uprisings only in
point Of vivid newspaper reports.
With all the excitement incident
to a campaign conducted by one or
two jim crow reporters there was
not a drop of blood spilled nor a
single scalp taken. 1t was a blood
less conflict, and even the repor.
ters escaped without the loss Of a
hair 1t is not likely that any one
will even be prosecuted in the
courts, and it is not certain that
the peace has been disturbed. TO
attempt to try old Snake Tor treas
on would be in the nature of
comic.drama. The soldiers never
reached the scene Of war and earn.
age they were sent to quell for lh e
reason that no such place existed.

Congress has at last hit upon
the ingenious plan Of passing the
Cherokee and Creek agreements in
something near their original form,
then by special legislation nullify-
ing them. What cannot be gotten
into the treaties and ratified by
the Indians will be made a subject
of future legislation.

Many influential Cherokees are
Of the opinion that the agreement
as it islikely to pass, can never be
ratified by a popular vote OF the
people. The belief is growing that
the government will, by future leg
islation, do about whatever is asked
by the Standard Oil company and
other interests that seek to mo-
nopolize the common property.
Many express the belief tina, the
interests Of the people are safer
without such an agreement than
with it. Itis unfortunate that an
agreement cannot be reache ed that
would be fair to all concerned and
that would have the assurance Of
not being disturbed by future act
of congress.

When a newspaper is published
as a political organ it is quite often
the case that 1t is a mighty poor
newspaper.-Denison Herald.
That's putting it gently. 1t is
not "quite often" that it is a mis-.
erable newspaper, if it has as its
editor a man Of independence.
Nothing can be more disagreeable,
not to say agonizing, to conscien.
tious and sensible man than to be
at the head of a paper which has
to duck and dodge as the party
leader ducks and lodges. The
harshest of devils weep for him as
he goes about his work.--Dallas

GOES UP FOR TEN YEARS
Sentence Passed on Versalia Garcia
 Yesterday.

Versatile Garcia, convicted of man slaughter in the killing of his father in-law. Cypriano Moreno, last spring. was sentenced by Judge Street yester- day to ten years at Yuma. the longest term that could be administered for such a crime. There was preponder- ance of opinion outside the jury box that Garcia should have been hanged Hio lawyers made the most of a shadowy theory of self-defense. but it was never shown that Moreno was armed with a deadlier weapon than a long, handled shovel. with which he had been opening a ditch.
 Joe Wilson was tried for grand lar ceny in having stolen a horse from O. II. Christy. He was convicted last week of stealing a horse from Fred Egg loff. The trial under the second indict- ment was brief. but the deliberation of the jury outranked it for brevity and dispatch. The verdict was guilty. Will son has already served more than one term for horse stealing. which, once a crime. has become a pernicious habit with him.
 The rest of the day was taken up with the trial of Emendez. charged with arson by the burning of a tent belonging to the Garcia brothers near Alhambra. Attorney Bullard, repre- senting the defendant, objected to the introduction of testimony on the part of the territory on the ground that 1t would only be a waste of precious time, since under no circumstances could he be found guilty under the indictment. The defendants attorney pointed out that while the indictment averred the wilful. malicious and felonious burn ing of the structure, it dii not. as the law required. state that the act had been done with intent to destroy.
 The court overruled Mir. Bullard's ob- jection without commenting on his con- tention, saying that that would be taken up in it's proper order. The trial proceeded and all the evidence was put tn. after which the court and the case was adjourned until this morning.

Regarding II report that Joseph III.

with smallpox ut Laurel, had been to
see Mrs. Cross, Health Officer Garyey
makes the following statement:
a report is current on the east side
of the city that Mr.. Cross went to Laurel
IN the midnight train Saturday to see
his wife. 1t is said that an engineer said
ne saw Mr.. Cross on the train and told
another railroad man that he saw him.
1t is not true that Mr.. Cross went to
see his wife and would like you to deny
it.
II received complaint about the mat
ter and | and Executive Officer Welch
it. We saw the engineer
luotcd and he denied circulating such a
report that he had said anything about
Mr. Cross going to Laurel. We found
hat Mr.. Cross was not out of the city
saturday night and that he had not been
| % see his wife since she has been sick.
I'VE have also inspected Mr.. Cross
hnrbcr shop mt Fourth and Lombard

| There is no danger from smallpox there,
is everything is in good condition, and

hesitancy. there being absolutely no rea'
son for them to fear contagion."
