The Evidence Against Webb

The facts established by prepon- derance of the testimony given before the coroner's inquest in the matter of the killing of Lorenzo Bass by Ranger w. W. Webb, shows that the defend ant and his companions, Rangers Bare foot aud Mcdonald, were going from one saloon to another drinking that they entered the Cowboys Home saloon and started to make a rough house
 Barefoot and Webb were both guar. relsome, Webb fired the first shot into the floor, and when Bass came in and demonstrated, Webb shot him through the heart and fired another bullet into Bass body after it had fallen.
 Bass had no gun, and the wound ou Webb's face was caused by beer glass thrown by girl in the saloon. The first shot that passed through Bass body wounded Ranger Mcdonald.
 The monte dealer did not shoot The three shots were all fired by Webb.
 At the preliminary examination last Saturday four witnesses, A. l.. White John Swords, John Wilton and E. L. Mattix, all testified that tue shooting of Bass was unprovoked, and that they saw no gun in the hands of Bass.

The order for the abandonment of Fort Grant has been received at de- pertinent headquarters in Denver. The four troops of tine Fourteenth cavalry stationed there will go to Fort Huachma. Last fall when the aband- onment of Fort Grant was recommend ed by General Funst D, We urged the business men of Globe to unite in an effort to have T military post establish ed somewhere Tn this vicinity, but nothing was done in the matter. It was stated some time ago that in all probability, Fort Apache would also be abandoned, 1t being so remote from railroad and almost inaccessible during the winter months. If the recommendation for the abandonment of Fort Apache is carried out then a new post to be located somewhere within easy distance of the San Carlos agency Is almost necessity and by far the most desirable location for such an establishment is near Globe. It is certainly matter of considerable i'm. portance to this town and we hope the opportunity of properly presenting our claims to the department will not pass unimproved.

Most of the evidence is very damaging to Webb, and except the testimony of other rangers present, who would nat urally desire to shield Webb, presents a strong case against him of man slaughter, if not of murder. It IS to be hoped that the governor will imme- diately order the dismissal of Webb and the other drunken rangers impli- cated in the fatal affray. 1t was only last August that former Captain Moss man and two of the ranger force en- gagged in disgrnceful row over game of cards in saloon at Bisbee. In commenting on that affair, we said ; "The conduct of men serviug as peace officers, whether ou the ranger force or the county or city constabulary, should be especially exemplary, I he day has passed in Arizona when the swash- buckler and the carouser should re tolerated in the person of an officer of the law" The evidence against Webb is sufficient to justify binding him over and we hope he will be vigorously pros ecuted.

The drunken and murderous affray in which Ranger Webb and companions engaged in at Douglas should effectu- ally put stop to the efforts being made in the legislature to increase the ranger force. Better abolish the organization, if Arizona is to be dis graced by such scandalous conduct as was indulged in by rangers at Bisbee last August, and at Douglas week ago Sunday. Such lawless acts upon the part of officers whose duty it is to apprehend criminals and discourage the commission of crime, more than csunterbalances the good that it is possible for them to accomplish.

1t is announced in late Washington dispatches that the president has de- cided to appoint Secretary of War Elihu Root, and Senators Henry Cabot Lodge and George Turner, members of the Alaskan boundary commission. The appointment of Secretary Root confirms the report that he is soon to retire from the cabinet. The appoint ments give much satisfaction, and it is safe io assume that the United States title to the territory claimed by Great Britain will be ably defended, although there appears to be no good reason why the United States should agree to have the matter arbitrated, seeing that Great Britain hasn't even the shadow of title to the strip of Alaskan coast which she so much covets. It is said the name of John W. Foster is under consideration as counsel to the Ameri. can commissioners.

The maintenance of the Arizona rangers by territorial tax levy works great injustice 10 a majority of the counties, which derive no direct benefit from the work of the rangers, who have confined operations to five or six of the thirteen counties in the territory, and have accomplished little effective work except in two or three counties. The lAwless element is very much less in evidence in Arizona now than it formerly was, and the creation of a ranger force was only pretext to increase political patronage and further bleed the taxpayers. The ranger or ganizatlon should be abolished.

The accommodating justice of the pesce fixed the bond at the ridic- ulously small amount of Sl, 1000, which the defendant furnished and was re- leased.

Ives Sharp Practice.

The resurrection of the Ives re- districting bill in the council last Thursday, after it had been defeated and s motion to reconsider tabled, was a remarkable proceeding, which could only have been accomplished through the inadvertence of the opposition. In placing Gila county in the judicial dis. trict with Maricopa the Ives bill is very unfair, and should it pass the council, as now seems probable, it is hoped that a majority in the house will recognize the injustice intended to the people of this county and defeat the bill.
 We arc certainly entitled to the sup port of the members from Graham, with which county we have made com mon cause against the arbitary stand maintained by the presiding udge of this the Second judicial district, in continuing to hold the sessions of the United States court at Florence, in op- position to tue wishes of three fourths of the people of the district
 Since the above was written we have received telegraphic advices that the Ives bill passed the council and had been received by the house and referred, and that 1t will either be amended to conform to the bill pending in the house - which groups Gila, Graham and Cochise-or the house bill will be substituted for it.

1t is very doubtful which race fret
skated. for traces have been found
among prehistoric remains all over
northern Europe indicating that the
art was practiced by primitive peoples
The Eskimo of the farthest north are
also found to be in possession Of run
ners carved from whalebOne.
Skating is mentioned by Danish
historian about 1874. and Fitzstephe-
In his "His,,ry Of London" says that
In the twelfth century young men
fastened the leg bones Of animals un-
der their feet by means Of thongs il.
order to slide along the ice. Tbs
statement is confirmed by the pair
bone skates of the period now in the
British museum. 1t is likely, however,
that these early Londoners got the
idea from Holland, probably via Lin
colnshire, where skates have been
used cn the frozen fens from very re-
mote times.

Obituary..

Died very suddenly of heart failure
Wentworth of Denmark, aged 81 years,
three months, ten days. Funeral SER
vices were held at the Methodist church,
East Denmark. Interment in the GENE
terry on the South road in Denmark.
She leaves husband, two sons, May
nard and Carroll l.. Wentworth. She
was member of Silver Rebekah Lodge
of Denmark. She was well known and
had many friends in her own and adjoin-
ing towns. She will be sadly missed
by her many friends. She was one
whose motives were pure and helpful,
her Self-respect was intense. She was
ever ready to forgive wrong when con-
WINGED it was not intended. Sincere her
self, she looked for sincerity in others;
always generous, helpful, unaffected, re-
joiced in the happiness and prosperity of
others. She was always sensible of the
value of human love, whose heart was
easily touched by the sorrows of Others,
and whose friendship held fast at all
times.
For her there was no greater pleasure
than to be in her home with her family
She loved so well. Her life is ended, she
has gone from the cares and trials of
this life, to the browning glories of a
brighter and better world than this.
She was devoted, affectionate wife and
mother, loyal and unflinching friend,
and her memory will long live in the
hearts of those who knew her best.
Standing in the midst of the living, we
know not why this untimely summons,
but, with the poet, let us believe that
We will shortly know that heightened breath
l. not the sweetest gift God gives His friend,
And that sometimes this sable pail OF death
Conceals the fairest boon His love can send.
l,ut no. to- 'ay; then he content. sad heart
Gods plans, like lilies, pure amt white, unfold;
We must not tear the close shut leaves apart;
Time will reveal the caySes of gold.
And II, through patient toll, we reach the land
Where tired feet with sandals loose. NAV rest,
Then we shall clearly know and understand,
think that we will say, God knew best
A LOVING FRIEND.

The most important change noted in

ment concerning admission to the college
both in regard to the subjects in which
examinations are held, and in the terms
of admission. At the meeting of the

A Birthdav Thought or Two.

On this, our 65th natal day, Jan. 2Sd,
Zone sweetly solemn thought comes to
me Ger and o'er:''
"The Wine OF Life keeps oozing drop by drop,
The Leaves of Life keep falling one by one"
Only five years to the allotted time.
Like tale that is told are the years of
our life when we number them DER and
Ger. And what have we gained by liv-
ing that life, and what has the world
gained? Not much and probably nothing.
1t is in about the same position that it
would have been had the Maker OF us
all never had thought of us, never call
ed US to act minor part on the stage OF
existence.
Were we created for special purpose?
And if so have we defeated that pur-
pose? Has the potter power over the
clay, creating one vessel for honor and
another for dishonor, as the Scriptures
affirm? If we were intended and cut out
for slop-basin, we are not particularly
to blame that we are not a vase for how-
ers. As slop-basin perhaps we have
fulfilled our destiny here and answered
the divine purpose as we'll as the average
vessels-a little leaky to be sure, with
an inclination to slop over at times. We
have often wondered if we shall be any
thing different and better and more to
our liking in the everlasting household.
1t is useless to enquire for we know as
much about it as the vase or the sugar
bowl.
Say, are we machines? 1t looks like it,
but responsible machines, and that is
the patent on us, and we haven't been
let into the secret of it as yet, and we
are not anxious to find out, as we are
convinced that it is all right. OF one
thing we are convinced, that whatsoever
Il man soweth, that shall he also reap.
We have seen it demonstrated so many
times that it is rather matter of knowl-
edge than of belief.
When the farmer sows his grain it is
with the expectation of harvest and in
the field in which he sows it. The young
man sows his wild oats on the burrows
of time, and his reaping, by and by. is
aches and pains, bunions, corns and cor
ruption, and they do say he will reap
heavier aftermath in another field be-
yond the swelling tide. We don't know
how that may be but have heard it so
intimated. The results of wrong doing |
and of right doing are far reaching
beyond doubt. JOHN.

Not many weeks ago one of the popu-

a ticket to show that was then playing
in town. She accepted it and placed it
in her purse. When evening came she
went to the show and taking from her
purse what she supposed was the ticket
passed it to the ticket taker. He looked
at it, said "All right" and she went in.
