FROM general reports from the
Philippines it would seem that the
American soldiers have been guilty OF
extreme cruelty to the natives Many
court martials have been held, and in
almost every instance the accused
were whitewashcd. \ court martial
is really trial of an officer by his
friends and chums, the result of which
can be forctold weeks before the
trial. General Miles who is now in the
Islands does not hesitate to say that
our officers have been guilty of ex-
treme cruelty to the natives. He re-
ports that the water cure" has been
practiced @n many, not Il few of which
failed to recover. The general speaks
of one instance where six hundred
people were confined in one building

nearly all Of whom were suffocated.
With such treatment it cannot be
wondered that the natives do not love

Justice Beck Makes a Correction

soLoNoSvILLE April 2. 1903.
To the Editor Of the Era.
Please permit me TO correct the FOL
lowing item which appeared in the
ERA last week:
The ERA i informed by L. Kearney.
just returned from SOlOmOnville, that
the district court has decided that w.
+ Beck, who has been holding the
Office Of justice or the peace 10 Clifton
precinct. was Ineligible to hold Office.
Now As to the facts:-When I as
-umed the Office OF justice Of the peace
TO which was elected and received d
certificate Of election, l made up my
mind from the start, first to enforce
the law, second to protect the public
and the decent people, and as far as
possible TO protect the public from the
-hy7ter. who are in the habit OF run
ming justices courts to suit themselves.
~ TO whether or not I did that during
my short term in Office, am willing
10 leave to the public.
This man Kearney instituted suit
against me 10 the district court in the
name OF 3. A Boyles to remove me
from office. The supreme court had
practically removed Judge Settle and
the Judge OF this district was a MEM
Der OF that court, After consulting
able attorneys l concluded it was use
less to fight losing battle. We
thought the Judge here would hold the
same opinion in my case that he and
two others held at Phoenix in the Set
tie case, that the action OF the board
Of supervisors in issuin. second GER
tificate OF election where only one was
voted for was nal and VOID
/ resigned and the case was dis
missed No Judgment was rendered
to the effect that | was Ineligible, and
] defy Mr.. kearney, or anyone else, to
show that there was such a jud gme Mt
rendered. On the contrary, | would
like for any citizen who wants to know
the truth, TO ask Judge Doan whether
or not | am eligible to any Office, and
If that pure minded and honorable
gentleman does not tell you that can
hold and am eligible to any Office
within the gift Of tho people OF Ari-
IONA. then this communication, like
the article in the ERA, is lie.
/ desire to thank my friends who
stood by me, as well as all good citi
zeus who perhaps voted against me,
but who gave me their moral support,
after went into office, and to all enc
mics 81 society and decency, | can only

SUPERVISORS ADJOURN.
Site For Proposed County Poor Farm
Purchased.
From the Bulletin

The regular session of the county
board OF supervisors closed last Satur-
dav. The volume OF business trans
acted was far in excess OF previous
meetings.
{ Demands upon the county treasury
TO the amount of approximately sl5,-
900 were audited and allowed during
| the session.
| The committee consisting OF +. l..
! Tidwell. W. T. Johnson and VIM. En-
/ sOr. appointed TO Investigate the mer-
= OF the sites offered for the estab-
! lisnment OF a county poor farm re-
/ ported favorably upon tract of land
Of forty acres adjoining the ranch OF
Geo. Gamble, and on Saturday Chas.
/ F. Solomon was given $1,000 for deed
to the property.
During the closing week several
petitions for road building were pre-
sented. One from Moreuci. another
/ from Clifton and the third from Met
calf district. Action upon the petit
tions were deferred until the coming
meeting OF the board which cOnyenes
Nav II. In the meantime the pro-
posed routes Of the new road ways
will be inves tigated
, Bids were opened Saturday for
county printing. The Graham Guar
dian presented lowest bid and was
awarded contract for one year.
Since the adjournment of the super
yisors District Attorney Rawlins has
filed suit against the board for the re-
covery OF the money paid for the poor
farm. The ERA has not seen the
papers 10 the case, but understands
that the poor farm had been previously
decided by Eugene Caruthers, chairman
OF the board, to Chas. f. Solomon.
1t would seem from the filing OF the
suit that the district attorney con-
sders that the law has been violated
The result OF the suit will be
watched with great interest by
the people. The district attorney
is generally congratulated on
his nerve for bringing this suit, as it
will ventilate the whole matter, and il
no fraud or wrong has been perpe-
trated, the result of the suit will C lear
the board OF the ugly rumOrs that
have been put in circulation.
There has also been a rumor in circu-
lation to the effect that suit will be
brought against the board of super
visOrs for the recovery of $500 paid to
Henry Hill, a member OF the board q,
for the purchase of the steel wagon
bridge across the Frisco at Clifton.
From present Information the suit has
not yet been brought. The ERA in
tarviawa6 Mr. Hill in raUard IN tho
matter, and from him learned that the
original contract was made by him
with the old board more than two
years ago, before he was member OF
the board. The contract was for
foot bridge across the river, which
was to have been delivered to the
county for $500. Mr.. Hill purchased
the cable for the foot bridge, but be-
chased the steel bridge from the rail-
road company, which was afterwards
turned over to the county for the same
sum as agreed upon for the foot bridge.
is worth about $1,000, hence the county
made a big bargain in its purchase.
The river is now in such Il condition
as to make fording impossible for
loaded wagons. Mr.. Hill states that
it the county is dissatisfied with its
bargain that it can have its money
back, and he will either close the
bridge to the public or charge toll for
crossing it.

backed up with references to public
