Lincoln County Murders.

The Las Vegas Age will soon write
a history Of some famous desert
tragedies that should prove quite
interesting.
The Hancock case has cost the
county Of Lincoln so far 81, 900, and
the end IS not yet. He is sentenced
TO be hanged September 8th, but
may get a stay of execution, for new
1rial or appeal. His life hangs on a
slender thread. Hancock is 81 years
of age and has spent most OF his
manhood in prison.
About 100 murders have been com
united in that county since 1870 and
only one man, Hank Parish, has been
legally hanged in expiration. He
was tried and hanged at Ely in 1892
for q murder near Phoebe.
Many have persisted with their
boots on, as a long line OF graves in
"Murderer's Row 10 the graveyard
at Phoebe show, Thirty graves there
contain the DUST Of men who died
fighting, from 1870 to 1874.

W. Mardis, In the House. exerted them- selves to the utmost to bring ahout an amicable adjustment of the contro- versy. Early in December, 1883, Sena- tor King and Representative Murphy secured. in a personal interview with President Jackson the guarantee that mo measures should be taken for the removal of the settlers who had not lnterfered with the possessions of the Indians" Following this interview several of the Alabama delegation. at the suggestion Of Secretary Cass. join- ed in written address setting forth their views of the matter at issue. In the meantime the administration com missioned Mir. Francis Scott Key. then serving as District Attorney for the District of Columbia. to proceed to Alabama to aid the District Attorney for the southern district in the legal investigations growing out of the con- flict between State and Federal att thority. and to represent the Federal government directly in it's dealings with the State government in the mat ter of the proposed removal of settlers from the newly organized counties.
 Key Proposes Terms.
 Soon after his arrival in Tuscaloosa, Mir Key addressed formal communi- cation. dated December 1C. 1883. to Governor Gayle. seting forth the terms of settlement that he was au- thorized to offer. He stated that tho surveys of the reservations allotted to the indians in the ceded territory would be completed by the 18th day of January. 1884, and that the government would make no removals of settlers from the lands outside of these Indian allotments Furthermore. the intrtp- ders upon the Indian reservations would have the power to purchase the titles to the lands which they occu- pied. These were the terms. in brief, of the Key compromise. and 1t will be readily seen that they virtually amounted to a withdrawal of the or ders for the removal of the settlers.

who are distinguished by their pru- dence, firmness and intelligence" The possibility of state of civil war was fully appreciated by the supporters of both the State and Federal adminis- trations The Mobile Commercial Reg have just learned, from an authentic source, that orders have been issued from headquarters for the immediate marching of ten companies of United States artillery. completely equipped for the field, to Fort Mitchell in this State. This detachment added to the troops already stationed at that post fourteen companies; and 1t Is probable that a general officer will be desig- mated to command. How utterly misjudged, ill-timed and inappropriate are the sneers and taunts of the null lifiers that the President has backed out that he has succumbed to Gov ernor Gayle and that he will not dare to execute laws and treaties, and maintain inviolate the plighted faith of the nation." The intense interest and excitement over the issue extend- ed beyond the borders ol Alabama. Offers of volunteers from other States came to Governor Gayle. One of these dated Hudson. New York.

 Fortunately for those of that gener- ation, the ''irrepressible conflict" growing out of the dual character of our government had not yet reached its acutest phase. There was still room for compromise. The Alabama delegation in Congress, composed at that time of William R. King and Ga- briel Moore, in the Senate, and of ex- Governor John Murphy, Dixon H, Lewis.

Near the close of the year 1883, Francis Scott Key, the famous author of our national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner" came to Tuscaloosa, then the capital of Alabama, charged with the management of one of the most critical complications in the po- Iitical history of the State. While his fame was born amidst scenes of war ''the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air"-his mission to Ala bama, as events proved was one of peace. He came commissioned by the iron -wlled Andrew Jackson, then president of the United States, to rep resent the Federal government in the matters at issue with the State of Alabama, growing out of the conflict between State and Federal authority in the territory lying within the bor- ders of Alabama which had been cedcd to the United States by the Creek In- dians in the Treaty of Cusseta. in lS32 The success with which his mission was crowned in averting the collision that at one time seemed inevitable Is proof that with his talents as d poet and a jurist were combined those of the diplomat and the statesman.
 Glance at Territorial History.
 To understand properly tho chain of events which led to the coming of Mir. Key to Alabama requires a glance backward into the territorial history of the commonwealth. The memor- able campaign of Andrew Jackson against the Creek dndians in the Mississippi (afterward Alabama) Ter ritory, which eliminated in the battle of Tohopeka, in the horseshoe bend of the Tallapoosa river, March 27, 1874. left unexpectedly to the people of the future State a serious political prob Tba Hyh forced the chiefs, deputies and warriors of the Creek nation to conclude with him. August 9. 1874. at Fort Jackson-on the site of old Fort Toulouse, between the Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers. about four miles above the junction of these rivers-continued and confirmed vir- tually an imperium ;n Imperio, an h. dian nation within what was after wards to be the State ol Alabama. By the terms of that treaty the Creeks while yielding their claims to all other lands in the Mississippi Terri tory. were confirmed in the possession of their hereditary fields and forests east of the Coosa and north of a line drawn southeastwardly from We tumpka to a point on the Chattahoo- chee river below Eufaula-except that the right of the United states to es' tablish military posts and trading houses, to open roads and navigate the waters within the guaranteed ter ritory was acknowledged. Thus q map of the Alabama Territory, or oi the State ol Alabama prior to the fina cession by the Treaty of Cusseta ir 1882, would show all that part of the State which is embraced in the pres ent counties of Barbour Gin parD, Bullock Gin part). Russell, Macon. Lee Tallapoosa, Elmore Gin part, Cham
 bers. Coosa, Randolph. Clay, Talla' ooosa. Cleburne, and Calhoun, as the domain of an Indian nationality. Th' existence of this Indian nation within the territorial limits indicated was for mally acknowledged and virtually guaranteed by the United States 1T article of the treaty of Fort Jackson which says that a permanent peace Ahan ensue from these nresents. for

 But the Saxon greed for land-which first manifested itself in historic times when the followers of Hengist and Horsa began, in 449. the appropria- tion of the fairest fields of Kent, and which has gone on gathering under the dominion of that race the conti- nents and the islands of the sea until to-day we see it tapping back upon the Asiatic coasts in our struggle TOT the possession of the Philippine ls- lands and in the threatened partition of China-was not to permit the proud Maskoki to remain long upon this last foothold of his ancestral domain. It is not necessary here to give the facts ar methods of negotiations that led to the final treaty with the. Creeks; but to give only some of its provisions and to indicate the important politi- cal complications winch grew out oi its ratification. The preliminary ne- gotlations were conducted at Cusseta' in the present County of Chambers but 1t was concluded in Washington between Lewis Cass, thereto specially authorized by the President of the United .,tates, and the representatives of the Creek tribe of Indians. March 24, 1892. and it was ratified April 1882. It's first article provided tha' the Creek tribe of Indians cede to the United States all their lands east oi the Mississippi river But there were important conditions attached While ample provision was made foi the removal of the Creeks to the lands which wore granted them West or the Mississippi and the desire or the gov enrment was expressed that they should emigrate to their new homes 1t was expressly provided that the In I ,hn hnTt11 hn but they should be free to go or stay as they pleased.
