District Attorney E. S. Clark,
r. Fl. Burmister, Judge H. 7.
Andrews, W. 7. Brown and Ed.
Block waited on the beard of equal
ization last Thursday and requested

The promptness with which District
Attorney E. S. Clark brought the
parties connected with the assassina-
ton of young Mullino to trial and
the success in convicting the assassin
who fred the fatal shot, cannot be
too highly commended. The crime
was committed just as the grand
jury had been discharged and he
called for a new grand jury at once,
which was granted, the parties indict-
ed and brought to a speedy trial. had
the case gone over till November it
would have involved the county in
considerable expense, as witnesses
would by that time have left the
country, and greater obstacles would
have been thrown in the way of the
prosecution.

Keen Saint Charley, of Our Mineral
Wealth, had tad attack of rabies,
Jim jams, or some other nervous
affection in his last issue. The vic
Tins of his impotent rage we're the
editors of the Tucson Citizen, Globe
Silver Belt and Prescott Journal
Miner. While his vaporings were very
incoherent and unintelligible the in
! ference to be drawn from his froth .
ings is that the editors of the above
named papers have not been conduct
ing their business according to the
Saint Charley ideas. Whether it was
| hot weather, bad whiskey CT the meet
ing of the county socialist convention
| in Kingman, which has affected the
brainlet glohuIe of the mighty Keen,
aunot be determined at this distance.
He has Topped from republicanism to
popuIism, thence to democracy and
has eourted socialism, only to be
Tilted by it on account of his anarch-
istic tendencies, so that he naturally
! feels out of sorts.
