Marshal Richards Will
 Not Be Removed.
EXPENSE ACCOUNTS
Have Been Explained Satisfactorily --COIoEel Grigsby
 May Go.

Washington, Feb. 24--Within few days the president will dispose of the charges made some time ago against judiciary officials in Alaska. Some sur prise has been expressed that these cases were not disposed of some time ago, for the investi gation of the charges was actively begun early in the winter. The president and the attorney general however, have wished to proceed care fully and to give hearing to all per sons concerned. It was announced in the Posl-Intel!yencer some time ago that Melvin Grig>by, United States district attorney at Nome and Frank H. Richards. the U,ited States mar shal, would be dismissed from office. So far as this statement applied to Mar shal Richards the report was prema authority and did actually represent the intention of the president at this time. The probability now is that Mir. Richards will be allowed to remain in office for the present. although this is not absolutely certain. One thing, however, is certain: In the event that Richards is allowed to continue for the present, he will be called on as soon as navigation opens in A Alaska to explain certain things in connection with his expense accounts, for no secret is made of the fact that there are several items in his accounts that call for an ex- planation.
 It can also be repeated on authority

No Explanation Needed.

Marshal Richards is in receipt of a letter from United States Senator Tur- ner, of Washington stale, which con firms to the fullest extent the Washing ton City dispatch, printed in the paper today relative to the retention of Mar shal Richards in this judicial division. The letter is dated Washington City, Feb. l4, and is in part as follows: The assistant attorney general to whom was referred the complaints alleging dis crepancies in your expense accounts, informs me that everything has been expla ined in satisfactory manner, and no further explanation will be required. As to the contempt case, the depart ment of justice says there is nothing in it."

Startling Allegation Made This Afternoon In Open Court by Acting District Alt torney Grigsby.~-.AssistantD District
 Attorney Orton Resigns.
o-szsrzxruxrzruED

A scene was enacted this afternoon about 2:l5 that probably has nu parallel in the court history of Alaska.
 Acting District Attorney Grigsby de. clared that the grand jury had been packed, and he believed he could prove it before the proper tribunal. There was sensation and the court proceeded to fay the acting district attorney, it is said
 As one result Assistant District At torney Orton immediately rendered his resignation.
 The excitement was great tor few minutes, and there are various accounts of the incidents. When court met this afternoon Mir. OrtOn stated that he had been excluded from the grand jury room while q witness was being exam ined in the Jolley case, and he felt that it was an aSperaon upon him. and he asked that the jury be discharged if this conduct could not be remedled in Snm9 way.

KUSk0KWIM NATIVES
 TORTURE A WHITE MAN
Tie Strange Story Told by J. J. Humphreys Who Arrived in Nome "Wednesday. He Also tI leges that Natives Murdered White
 Prospector Near Mt. Mckinley

A story that rivals the Arabian Nights, to use the simile of Nice Lar- ders of the district attorneys office, i> that told by J. J. Humphreys. Hun : phreys reached Nome last Wednesday from the kuskok vim where he welt il. July of last year. lie claim, that he was tortured by Indians on the Easl fork of the ku-kok vim last February and exhibits scar which he allere was made by a hot iron or some other instrument. He also believes that at a native camp on the kuskokwiul, near Nit. Mckinley, a white man w., mur- dered by natives last February and $373 taken from his person.
 It's weird tale a, Humphreys tells it, but it's the truth" he remarked to a NUGGET representative yesterday. 'I've been through it, and know what it is like" he said.
 Humphreys has been in this section since 1900. In April 1902, he started for the Koyukuk. Hearing that that country was overrated he went into the Kuskokwim, arriving at Russian Mis- sion in July. He had d partner. an Austrian named Morilzvich. Last December some natives told them that on the East fork white men had struck five dollars to the pan. Humphreys consulted with his partner and it was decided that the former should go to the scene of the alleged strike, guided by natives. He started and proceeded D miles when they camped. Their tent was pitched on slight elevation, and Humphreys alleges that in some manner to him unknown, the natives ''inocuated' him, burning a hole in his right hip clear to the bone. He sho Ss the wound, and it is recent one about the size of half dollar.
 He was tied to the bunk by his over- alls, he alleges, and the tortures were inflicted repeatedly. He was starved; for twelve days he had nothing to eat or drink, save once, when he was given a drink of water from a can in which were toe-nails and finger nails; he re- fused to drink any more of the mixture. Finally, he thinks, the natives became scared and sent for his partner. squaw who spoke good English re. marked that Humphreys was the ''worst man on the river;' three dollars they had taken from him were returned. His partner arrived and took him to their cabin where he regained his strength. One night while captive, he says the natives murdered a white

The Grand Jury.

The grand jury is still in session, and for the past two days have been hearing evidence in the Jolley case. A large number of witnesses wero subpoenaed. On Wednesday afternoon the grand jury returned indictments as follows: Emil r. Jonsson, forgery; John II. Kuhn, larceny: William Nal. Joy, cutting and stabbing; F.. F. Jonsson. larceny. Not q true bill was returned in the case of E. R. Simmons, ("Slim, the Barber ') charged with obtaining money under false pretensions.

in the province of the grand jury to ex- clude the assistant district attorney. and then Acting District Attorney Grigsby arose and stated that in his opinion the jury had no such right; that the jury was packed and he could, he believed, prove it before the proper tri- bunaI. There were some good men on the jury, he said, but there were net twelve.
 The court stated that he had every confidence in the jury and he believed they were attending to their duties.
 OrtOn then said that in view of the circumstances he would resign and he immediately retired from the court room and rendered his resignation.
 The gran jury came into court. a short time ther, after. everyt ne eX- cept Deputy Clerk Dunn and C. II. McRride, Judge Moore's privafe ,erre- tary, being ex, luf el. What tran,p r. ed, of course, i, not known.

that District Attorney Grigsby will be removed from office. This matter is now beyond recall, and MT. Grigsby knows that he is to be dismissed. Nharges of various kinds were made ,gainst him, but the dismissal will rest principally on the ground that he left his post at Nome against the spe- cifc orders of the attorney general, coming to Washington to spend the winter.
 The authors of the charges against Marshal Richards have not only called attention to the condition of his ac- counts as shown by reports of special agents of the department of justice, but they have urged that Richards was con- victed of contempt of court by Judge Wickersham, and that it is an anomal- ous situation that he should be retained in office under these circumstances. It is declared by Richards opponents that the department of justice cannot con sistently sustain both Judge Wicker sham and Marshal Richards. Yet there is no idea of proceedings against the Judge. Richards friends claim that he can explain the apparent dis crepancies in his accounts. A letter is on record in the department of jus tice, however, showing that Judge Wickersham wrote to Richards in a friendly spirit at one time, calling his attention to faults in his accounts which had been submitted to him for approval, and requesting him to change them.
 No action has been taken in the case of Surveyor General Dstin, against whom sensational charges were filed some time ago in the interior depart ment, and there seems 10 be no pros pect of any action at present. It is not unlikely that the surveyor general will be called on for an explanation. and the department of justice is eager to hear both sides of the matter.
 As for the Richards matter, the pros pect of his dismissal was so certain six weeks ago that the place of marshal was virtually offered to Capt. Bob Bruce, of Texas, a warm personal friend of President Roosevelt. It is somewhat probable, however, that Atichards will be called upon for an explanation of his conduct before conclusive action is taken.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.

Everyone In Ford county should take q
deep interest in all educational matters
Superior educational advantages have
placed Kansas IN the front rank as Q
state. Ford county should rank with
any other county in this particular, The
educational advantages in Kansas are
now being improved by the establishing
of county high schools. The purpose of
the county high school Is to give the
farmers sons and daughters an oppor-
tunity to receive higher education at,
or near home, without entailing expense
TOO large to be borne by those in moder-
ate circumstances. fyou will notice, a
majority of the men and women who be-
come great in this free land are the sons
and daughters of the farmers.
In considering the proposition which
will come up at the election next month
no one should vote against the county
high school without considering the
matter carefully. The laws governing
the county high school assure the school
being conducted in the interest of the
whole county. II there il any way In
which the high school could be worked
in the interest of Dodge City at the ex-
pense Of the county at large, the GLOBE
REPUBLICAN could not advise the people
of The couaty 10 general to vote for the
proposition. There Is no way, though in
which the city schools here could assume
my control of the county high school.
The law prevents any such work.
The proposition consists only Of the
question: MS to whether Ford county
needs a high school and how much 1t
will cost. tits not matter in which
prejudice against one part Of the county
should govern the vote of another part.
Kansas people have never, perhaps, made
q mistake by voting for schools As a
principal 1t is always a mistake to vote
against q school proposition.
Before considering this proposition at
the polls the voters should study the
matter carefully, and If they do, the
good sound judgment of the people Of
Ford county VIII settle the question on
the right side.
