Mrs. Catherine Stilman though the
heir of an estate valued at $Ioo,ooo died
in poverty in apartments at O. Adams
Street, Hoboken. Her husband, James
Silliman, worn out by the litigation over
the legacy, died three years ago. Mr.,
Sillman had been man of means, but
reverses came, and he and his wife were
comparatively poor when they were
cheered by the news from Washington
that Mrs. Silliman's uncle had left her a
fortune OF 100000. They reached Wash
lngton only to learn that the bequest
was being contested by an aunt. The
costs of the litigation exhausted their
resources and they had TO depend upon
friends to continue the contest. When
Mr.. Silliman died, his widow was unable
to meet the demands, and of late she
has been living partly on the charity of
her neighbors.

BRIGHT ANGEL
 TRAIL AGAIN
Important Feature Over- looked yBoard of
 Supervisors

In it's last issue the NEWS pub lished the proceedings of the board of supervisors, including the con- tract entered into for the manage ment of the Bright Angel trail, or toll road, for the next five years. At that time we had not had time to carefully consider the effect of such contract, but now feel that it is our duty to point out what looks to us like very dangerous over sight in the agreement.
 According to the document Fer rall is allowed to retain all fees collected as toll on the trail, in con- sideration of which he is to keep same in good repair. We have no objections to that feature, so far as it goes. But the agreement should go further and state that in con- sideration of the fees collected Fer rall should give to the county a good and sufficient bond for the faithful performance of his duties and the keeping of the trail in good condition, and inasmuch as he re- ceives all the benefits to be derived from the collection of said toll, he should be made liable for damages in case of accident to any one trav- cling over said road.
 As the agreement now reads Fer rall is under, no bond or obligation which will protect the county in case suit for damages is institu- ted for injuries received on the trail. Under the contract as entered into the county is liable, and could be sued for, and made to pay such damages, without receiving one cent of benefit from the trail. We offer as suggestion and feel that it is the duty of the board to make 6 further agreement with MT. Ferrall whereby he shall furnish the county with an indemnity bond for it's pro- lection in case of suit for damages.

nOlQ or the ArlZOna Strlp III SOue way, and this may be Teddy's na- tional park scheme in disguise. In HowelPs article which you pub- lished on Dec. 30, last, it was plain that he intended that it was to be used to further the passage of the measure. To start with, the region is no more fit for buffalo than hades is for a powder house. Every ami nal has sense enough to get out into the lower country as soon as winter begins, if it knows the re- zion, and those that don't, perish. It is a ramifcation of deep, impass- able canyons, and it would require long time to kill off the lions be- fore it would be fit for what they intend. As to the minerals. our county records will show a vast number of locations, and by the papers see they are opening up more just over the Nevada line. I guess you know that l have always contended that the Canyon at this point was caused by a revolution oi the crust of the earth. and extend. ed in that direction clear through to California. The supervisor in charge of that portion is Nor. mon, and all connected with the scheme, except Buffalo Jones, are Mormons, and he is Teddy's repre- sentative"
 As to the truth of the above state ments as to the inaccessioility oi the region and the possibility oi game living there the year round the NEWS has only to refer to the experience of the members of the U. s. geological survey party who so nearly lost their lives there in December last. Knowing storm was coming the horses of the party deserted them and took to the lower country. leaving the men to their fate. They finally managed to make their escape with their lives. but had to desert their animals and camp, leaving everything on ac- count of the severe storms. Four animals and the entire equipment of one camp is still there. Thus il will be seen that the place is hard ly fit for game preserve; neither is the scheme to acquire that part of Arizona a good one. We say again, if Utah wants the strip lei her come forward with a business proposition.

TIN BOX SAVED LIFE
OF MAN

BOONTON, Oct. 9.-Andrew Mar
az. a grocer in Brook street, was at
tackled by three men, who attempted
to stab him, while he was on his way
home Monday night. Afterward three
men, who apparently intended to set
fire to the grocer's barn, were fright
ened off before they could accomplish
their purpose.
Maraz was driving home when he
was held up near Parsippany, two
miles from this place. When one
of the men tried to stab him, the
knife cut through his coat, but the
point struck the cover of a tin box he
had in his vest pocket. The blade
glanced off and inflicted only a slight
wound. Just then the light of an APP
preaching automobile was seen in the
distance and the assailants fled to the
woods neal by.
About midnight Mrs. M. Bowden, a
neighbor of Maraz, who was sitting
up with an ailing child, saw three
men acting in a suspicious way at
Maraz's barn. She quietly dispatch
ed a messenger to Maraz, and he
dressed quickly and started for the
barn. AS he approached the men ran
off. A bottle of kerosene oil was
found near the barn. Maraz says he
knows of no enemies who would be
likely to seek his life or try to dam
age his property.

FORT SCOTT. Kan, Oct. 9.-EVil-

speech Of this campaign here. He said
in part:
II nm glad to come to Kansas. and
I am glad to find a spirit here that we
have not always found in politics. In
fact, unless l am very much mistaken,
we are approaching a time when we
can consider public measures with less
of p~artisanship than we have before in
generations.
Il can remember when l first enter
ed politics that there was such a
strong feeling in regard to parties that
it was almost impossible for Il man
belonging to any III party to find any
thing good in another party. This
state has done much to break down the
old feeling. President Roosevelt has
done q good deal to convince the pub
lie that there is something good in the
Democratic platforms. He had the
courage to take up some of the re-
forms the Democrats advocated before
his party had advocated them.
