1t would appear that a mans life
may twice be put in jeopardy for the
same offence. Howard Curtis Benbam,
OF Batavia, N. Y, was charged with
poisoning his wife, but was acquitted
tby, the jury. Now the guardians of his
infant son bring suit to prevent Bon.
nam from taking possession OF the prom
erty for which the crime is said to have
been committed. The only issue in this
new suit is as to whether Benham did

situation will develop should the present

CHAFFEE IN PEKIE.

AS against the demonstrated in
efficiency of civilian management
in the staff departments of the
army, Americans can obtain some
satisfaction from the general com,
mendation of our purely military
service at Pckin.
The experienced correspondent
of the London Morning Post
speaks in the highest terms of the
management of the quarters al
lotted to the Americans and the
japanese. They show, he says,
"ability on the part of the Ameri-
cans to handle a subject people
which they have not developed
elsewhere to proper advantage"
and he adds: "If only these hard
headed soldiers of the provost
marshaps type had been given a
free hand in the Philippines the
task of subjugating the unfortunate
islanders would have been much
more simple"
1t is natural for this Britisher to
speak of 'subject people" and
"subjugation," but the point that
he makes in the Pekin example is
that here is an enormous portion
of the city policed by a single
company of infantry and few
mounted men and carrying on its
local life without disturbance. 1t
is simply Pekin in the ordinary
garb of peace, minus its variegated
smells" while the opposite side of
the street, where the Germans rule,
is almost deserted.
General Chaffee has not been
concerned with setting up gov
ernment. He is simply keeping
the peace and leaving the natives
to govern themselves in their own
way. If the Chinese could be
trusted thus, where the American
troops had no claim of lawful
authority, the Filipinos might
have been allowed some little sug-
gestion of liberty. What we have
tried in the Philippines is not the
American but the German mill
tary plan.

FAILED TO QUALIFY.

About two weeks ago Lee STRAIT
ton, the gentleman elected as dis
trict attorney of Graham county,
went to Texas. He did not quail
fly before leaving and it seems fate
must have been against him, for he
was unable to do so on his return.
For two or three days before the
end Of the year the Republicans of
Solomonville began casting anX-
ious glances toward Bowie, then
they began sending kilograms but
could not locate Mr.. Stratton and
q few minutes before the board ad-
journed when it seemed all hope
was gone, Republican headquarters
resembled a mad house. The only
conclusion that could be arrived at
offering any solution Of the mystery
was that the unfeeling democrats
had kidnapped Mr.. Stratton. In
order to prepare for any emergency
that might arise Messrs. Waddill
and Matthews were approached
just before adjournment and asked
to authorize Mr.. Day to approve
the bond at any time before II
o'clock. This, we understand, was
not done. The bond was signed
by the sureties, DR.. Platt and John
Evans on Dec. 3lst and was pre-.
sented to Mr..Day just before Il
O'Clock at night, but rs Mr.. Strat
ton had not yet arrived the chair
man could not approve it.
The Republicans have now "got
their backs up" at Mr.. Stratton fol
not getting here in time, and moth
ing was left undone to get him
here. The telegraph wires were
kept hot for several days anC
when he arrived in Bowie on tn,
last day of grace, his train was Sc
late that the valley train had gone
When Charley Solomon learned o
this he sent team to Bowie to ge
Mr.. Stratton, with instructions ''tC
get back before II o'clock" Mr.
Stratton arrived all right, but b,
was two hours late.
When the new board met on
Wednesday no one appeared be
fore them to assume the duties o
the Office.
AS consequence, under the law
Wiley f. Jones was compelled tC
continue as district attorney ant
will continue to do so until hi,
successor is qualified. Most attor
neys agree that there is no hopes
for Mr.. Stratton as he has forfeited
all his rights to the office.
| Since the above was put in type
it is learned that the Board decid
ed to accept bond from Mr.
Stratton and then Mr.. Jones or
learning this, put in his resigna
tion.

Thought He Was Bad.

A young man by the name OF j.
E. Foiles, hailing from Oklahoma,
got little too much tangle-foot on
board Christmas night, and at
tempted to make rough house
out of favorite resort in East
Clifton. There were about two
hundred men in the house at the
time, all celebrating Christmas ac-
cording to their individual ideas as
to propriety, when the young bad
man from Oklahoma commenced
to talk about shooting it out with
someone-anyone, he didn't care
much who. He soon became in
volved in personal difficulty with
bystander, and attempted to draw
his gun, but was unsuccessful.
Constable Hamilton had retired
and VIM. Garland was sent for.
The young man declared most We
hemently that there were not
enough officers in Arizona to arrest
him. Mr.. Garland arrested him all
right, and placed him in the cooler
in order to give him little time
in which to cool off. On the fol-
lowing morning he made his escape
from the calaboose, and instead of
"hitting the train" for Oklahoma,
he again went over in town, appar-
emily bent on eating up man or
two before breakfast, as it is alleg-
ed bad men often do in Oklahoma.
He accidently run onto Constable
Hamilton to whom he was insolent
and insulting. Billy warped his
six-shooter over the young mans
cabeza, which had very quieting
effect. He was again locked up,
and in the afternoon was brought
before Justice Wright and several
witnesses examined, but the prin-
cipal witness was sick, hence the
trial was postponed until this
morning at 9 o'clock.
The case was called this morning
promptly at 8 o'clock, and the
young man from Oklahoma was
fined three hundred plunks. Not
having that amount of money at
his command he was given the al
tentative of serving it out in the
county Jail at the rate of S1.00 per
day. There is no appeal from this
decision except from the court of
supervisors, and it is not likely
that they will remit any part of the
fine. The young man will have
ample time to reflect over the evil
results of being "bad," and it is to
be hoped that he will profit by the
lesson. He, and all others of his
class, should realize that the sway
of the "bad man" in Clifton passed
with the cleaning up Of Kid Lewis
and his gang many years ago.
Clifton has efficient officers and
they have the support of the entire
community in the enforcement Of
law and order.-Clifton Era
The last heard of the gent re-
ferred to above, he was headed for
the boundary line of the county
with 81 of Billy Hamiltcnfs-money.

Justice got authority to- sentence
man to 800 days in Jail.
