Snips and the St. Johns herald., 1903-03-19

We really believe that most of the abuse that has been hurled at the head'of Secretary Stoddard has been actuated by motives of jeal- Ousy. Every newspaper taking q shot at him invaribly gives its motives away by making some al- fusion to the SIS articles of incor- poratiOns. If the papers cut prices what business is it of the MT. StOddard we should like to know. Prescott Herald.
Snips and the St. Johns herald., 1903-03-19

K. K. Scott of Tennessee, na- lively but of the hust1ing town ot Gallup, adoptedlv, was in town to defend J. D. Boone on Satur- day. It happened that Reamer lhng, the Atty. on the other side IS also native of East Tennessee. In conversation they discovered the fact that they narrowly es- caped being kinfolks. Hence if IS not to be wondered at thatthe have developed a friendly feeling for each other.
 Another case comes to our no- tice' Dr. J. J. Fleming our new physician and Captain John T. Hogue in a short talk developed the fact that each was a Buck eye" and that each knew a great many of the others old time friends. We hope the gentlemen will refrain from claiming kin ship.
 Often have we noticed how the paths, ot people who leave the old settlement, i'll long years after. cross and recross without any in- tention on the part of the people themselves, and often have we wondered if such things happen so frequently outside of our own Dear Country.
Snips and the St. Johns herald., 1903-03-19

The preliminary examination of J. D. Boone was held in the court-hOuse on the 14th instant Justice Salazar places him under a S2O00 bcud to await the action of the Grand Jury.
 The case is probably familiar to most of our readers, but a brief resume of the facts in the case will be of some interest. On the 2d day uf this month, Mir. Boone shot and killed Lyman Parker at the town of Sanders, in this County. MT. Boone does not deny the act of shooting, but he claims that he did it clearly in self defense.
 The shooting was witnessed only by Price Evans the Section Foreman at that point, but there were several other people who knew more or less of the condi- tions leading up to that fatal event. The trouble had it's ori gin considerable i Ill back. Messrs. Parker and Boone both claimed the prior right to lease the old Emigrant Springs ranch. The Board of Supervisors in last December came to the conclusion that MT. Boone's claim was the better. So that body agreed to let MT. Boone have a lease to that property. MT. Parker felt very badly about the matter and there fore said many things that did not sound good about MT. Boone. He even went so far once as to say that if Mir. Boone took that ranch that he would kill him. He said this to Mir. BOone's face. And he was heard to make numerous other threats against MT. Boone but none of the witnesses knew that
Snips and the St. Johns herald., 1903-03-19

these threats had ever heen con- veyed to MT. Boone. Immediate
 ly after the shooting and while
 Parker's body was still on the
 ground, the citizens of the vicin-
 1ty got together and held a citi-
 zen's inquest, which agreed that
 t Il shooting was justifable,
 This inquest had no legal stand Ing, because no one has ever been found near there whe will act as
 Justice of the Peace for that pre- cinct. A great deal of trouble and expense could have been saved Ii there had have been a justice Ill that precinct. May be this will be good reason for some one try- ing t" get into that position fo, the future.
 MT. Ling. the District Attor- ney, made good strong fight for the prosecution, and MT. Scott. a prominent young lawyer made a good defense. Both lawyers made eloquent and convincing speeches at the close of the trial. Judge Salazar, thought that it was best for law and order to be on the safe side, so he held MT. Boone under a small bond of S2OOO. to await the action of the grand jury. It is the general opinion that MT. Boone will be acoitted when he comes to trial, even if he be indicted by the Grand Jury but only those of radical opinions, condemn the conserva- tive policy of Justice Salazar. MT. Boone promptly furnished the bond and on the next morning departed for home. The sympa- thy of the people are on the side of MT, Boone and it is believed that the sympathy of jury will also be on his side in the final
