BUXTON IS THE VICTIM OF
 PERSECUTION
Wife of the Alleged Haines Mission Murderer Makes Above Statement to a Repre-
 sentative of the Daily Alaskan

ing of the accused man showed a remark ably good record to his credit
 For wears he was a mechanic In Father Dunean's" Metlskatla eannsrv. He was later promoted to foreman of the cannsry "buteherY," after leaving the cinnsrv he worked "ln the woods" getting out logs for the mills, and then. worked in ths sawmllls st Mstlskitla and In Governor Brady's mill at SItSa. Leaving Sltka he established a logging eimp near Juneau and cut logs for the late w. T. llIff. For several years he was engaged In the con- lractlng and building business at Juneau Since closing out his business there he has been logging for the BlshOprlck Lumber Co.,, of Skagway, and for others.
 Men who know Buxton say that hs has never been known to drink, and that he speaks English flusntly aud can read and write. He h-s always been peaesab'e and industrious man of business, and ln every sense of the word an educated h. alan.
 Prominent buelness men of Halnes arc lnellnsi to dlsersdIt the story of the na- tive boy.
 The boy has testified that he and Buxton were on the beach bllIng the water from thslr canoe, when Buxton looked up and slld:
 "There goes man, there's going 10 be trouble"
 Then says the boy: "RlGht away, Buxton raise hIs gun and he fire at the man, Then the mao fall dead and 1 sec Buxton drag hlm by the wrist and hide the boiy under a canoe, but can not see fl the dead man Is white man or an lndian," No one has been reported missing at Halnes or vicinity and as the complaining witness mas the reputation of being light mentally, many doubt his story. Both James and Buxton will be kept in custody while the authorities make an effort to ss- cure more evidence of crime.

"Whitehall, the home of Gen.
Cassius M. Clay, once reputed to be
one of the most beautiful homes in
this country, has so long been neg
lected that it will take thousands of
dollars to put it in repair. Gen. Clay
will not be removed from White
hall. The remainder of his days
will be spent in his mansion and
every attention will be shown to
make his remaining life as happy as
possible. Officers anticipate no
more trouble from Gen. Clay. The
old man has to be helped when on
his bed and can scarcely stand. His
grandson, Green Clay, said that his
grandfather was in very bad con-
dition physically, and it would not
surprise him if he died any time.
The General, he said, was ninety

cheers tall and weighed $50 pounds
He is badly stopped and his hair

Bob Taylor for Bate.

Knoxville, Tenn, July r.
Ex-Gov. Robert L. Taylor had
something interesting to say to-day
on the senatorial situation in Ten,
nessee. When asked if he was a
candidate for the senate, he replied
that he was running in the interest
of Senator Bate, whom he wished
to succeed himself.
81 am having a good deal of fun
out of the boys in this race" said
the ex-governor. They can't see
how l can be for Senator Bate.
Those who 60 against him will soon
find out why | am for him. | am
like the drunken fellow who stag
gered around and held to the door
and said he would jump into his
bed the next time it came around.
l am for Senator Bate this time, all
l want to do in this race, is stagger
around and keep my feet so can
jump into the bed next time. Sc
riously, see no reason why this
old man, rich in years and honors,
should be turned out if he wants to
stay in. 1 would have defeated him
years ago if | could, but the time is
past now to defeat Senator Bate.
He has grown old, and with the
weight of years comes the senti
ment of war, the strongest in the
sentiment of any people. l went
against Shiloh once, but I'll never
do it again. am converted. The
sentiments of war are stronger than
the sentiments of peace. Senator
Bate is a much stronger candidate
now than ever. | would not mind
having the honor of succeeding
Senator Bate, but it is case of

me, and | can wait till the old man
retires. | used to think that if l
did not get my blood into the senate
once, that the whole country would
go to the bow-wows, but | have got
over that, and the longer l put off
my race the less | am inclined to
crowd out an old man who has been
just as good Democrat as the coun-
try ever produced, and brave and
honored soldier as well. You can
say l am for Bate, first, last and all
the time. l have had several repre-
sentatives from headquarters come
to me and tell me what big mistake
l was making by being for Bate,
but l can't see it that way. The
only mistake l ever made was run

don't care to repeat it."

Withal there were fights towards

In view of the fact that the coun.
ty is behind in the payment of its
warrants, which are now being num-
bered, it is we'll to exercise economy
and any method which is prudent
and feasible, looking TO the reduc-
tidn of expenditures, deserves con-
sideration. 1t has been suggested
that one way to eurtail expenses
would be to reduce the membership
of the court. At present Hardeman
County has forty-six Justices of the
Peace and every meeting of Quar-
terly Court costs the County $134.-
90, or 1886 90 annually 1t is fur
Their claimed that the business of
the public could be attended to with
greater satisfaction by one-half the
number of Justices. OF course, so
far as the financial saving is concern
ed in this instance, the amount
would be small, only $4,000, pro-
vided the membership were reduced
one-half, but it would be a step in
the right direction. That there are
too many members of our court, all
will admit, perhaps, except some of
the members themselves. We no.
tice from the Acts of the Fifty-third
General Assembly, just gotten out
by Secretary of State Morton, that
no less than twenty counties of the
State were redistricted by the recent
legislature. The counties were
Bledsoe, Bradley, Campbell, Car
roll, Claiborne, Clay, Cooke, Cum
berland, Fentress, Granger, Greene,
Hamblen, Hawkins, Henry, Jeffer-
son, Loudon, Maury, Pickett,
Roane and Wayne. Under the re-
districting act, Maury County now
has but nine civil districts and eigh-
teen Justices, instead of twenty-five
districts and fifty Justices as for
merly. Fentress County cut the
civil districts from thirteen to six
and the number of Justices from
twenty-six to six, as under the re-
districting act only one Justice will
be elected from each district instead
of two as has been the custom here
tofore. Bledsoe County reduced
her civil districts from twelve to
six, Campbell County from sixteen
to five, Carroll from twenty-five to
fifteen, Cooke from sixteen to eight,
Cumberland from thirteen to four,
Granger from fourteen to five,
Hawkins from twenty to seven,
Henry from twenty-five to twelve,
Jefferson from nineteen to seven,
and Pickett, Roane and Wayne each
from fourteen to eight. The other
counties which were redistricted
cut the number of their civil dis
tricts from one-third to one-half.
