Halifax Superior court ia in session
this week ) Judge E. B. Jones presiding
Immediately upon the opening of the
court the following grand jury was
called J.B ''Bozeman (foreman), IT.
Manning. F. Nj. Dickens, J. w Hardee
J. w Pope, ]. w. Shearin, Robert
Rhea, J. 7 Parks, L. w. White, J. G.

plewhite, T. NJ. Pulley, James Hardee,
A. E. Bobbltt and B. Harrington.
TIE JUDGES CHARGE.
Judge Jones' charge to the grand
jury was full and strong and covered
the criminal law we'll. He dwelt with
special emphasis upon seductione and
carrying concealed weapons. He said
that there was nothing meaner than
for man to betray an innocent wo-
man and then desert her. He describ-
ed how young man sometimes be-
comes troublesome and criminal In his
demeanor. He puts cigarette in bis
mouth, puts whiskey bottle in one
hip pocket and pistol in the other
goes to picnic, picks quarrel and
shoots his victim. Jugde Jones laid
much stress on the duties OF the grand
Jury and showed how the faithful per.
Torrance of that duty is the safeguard
of society.
The charge was most excellent one
and made fine impression on all who
! heard 1t. One good citizen of the
county said to US that he had been
hearing judges charge grand juries fol
twenty-five years, and he had neve,
heard a charge before which he appre
ciated 80 much.
! Mr.. J. w. Hammill was appointed
officer of the grand jury and Mr.. W.K
Pit,man was appointed court crier.
There Ia not a very large docket but
perhaps there will be work enough te
engage the court all the week. Forty
/ four cases we're on the docket wher
court was opened.
There is one case Of homicide--tba
ri Walter Morecock charged with kill
ing ccIored man nsar Weldon some

prosecuting criminals in his usual Wig

LooPHoLE FREES BANKER.

Davenport, Iowa, March 4.-Because of a loophole in the Iowa statutes both M. and Arnold Bouthien, charged with embeSzlement in loaning themselves money from the funds of their bank, probably will go free. While the law declares a bank official guilty of em- bezzlemeEt for loaniEg bank funds to himself, the legislature which drafted the measure failed tc provide any punishment for the crime.

all that had been done for Douglas by
 the two companies at which Mr. Doug.
 las is at the head.
 A few days lsrer, or before, Iu des
 Neville wrote letter to the county
 democratic central committee which
 had placed his name on the democratic
 ticket as a candidate for the assem ply.
 In that letter he again took occasicn
 to advert to the excellent condition which existed in Cochise county be.
 tween the employing companies and
 their employees and advising that nc
 legislation or agitation should be un.
 dertaken to disturb the existing bar
 mony. Following is an extract from
 the letter of Judge Neville. referring
 to the labor conditions in Arizona and
 especially in Cochise county:
 SHOULD I BE ELECTED IT
 WILL BE MY ENDEAvOR TO BE CAREFUL AND CONSERVATIVE
 IN URGING LEGISLATION. l SHALL NOT GO SEEKING TO MAKE A RECORD AND WILL HAVE NO OCCASION TO SLOP OVER. SOME PROVISIONS OF THE CRIMINAL CODE NEED TO MAKE THEM EFFECTIVE. KNOW OF NO PLACE WHERE THERE IS AS PERFECT HARMONY BETWEEN AND EMPLoYE AS IN ARIZONA AND ESPECIALLY IN COCHIsE COUNTY ANDl THERE SHOULD BE NEITHER LEGISLATION NOR AGITATION TO DISTURB THAT HARMONY"
 Notwithstanding the above decIara- ion overi his own signature, Judge l Neville is today representing, in Phoe. Iix, that the Copper Queen company is aticing a system of peonsge against ts employ es in this city and represent ng condition that does not now exist nd which never existed. Judge Neville has represented a condition in Douglas which, if true, would keep very desirable working or business nan away from Douglas. but happily here is no scuh condition. We quote ere from a report printed in the Phoe- !ix Enterprise, of the speech made by udge Neville when house bill No. 70 Vss up for consideration:
 What will the employees of the Cop CT Queen say to this attempt to make appear that they are working for hips and whetstones and are being marched up to the store counter and aid in orders for goods. Is this pie uie what they want painted of Dong. as in the legislative halls of the terri. ory: will they stand for such misrep- Every man who is in usiness in Douglas or who owns a ollar's worth of property in Douglas } interested in having the good name f the place and the splendid labor coalitions which prevail here spread broad and they certainly will not pprove of the wolds of Neville which epict a condition in this city which | you'd keep every self-respecting man Ut of Douglas.
