AN ARTIST WITH
 THE PEN AS WELL
A Douglas Man Who Is Past Master With the Brush and the Pencil Is Now in Jail and Must Answer to Charge of Forgery.

A Douglas dispatch says: J. R. Shaw, a we'll known local character, was yes terday arraigned before Judge Ben Rice on a charge of issuing forged checks on the First National bank and bound over to the disrtict court in the sum of $l,- 800, which he failed to furnish and was remanded to jail. Shaw waived exam ination.
 The man was arrested last Saturday on the above charge at the instance of the proprietors of the White House and the Antlers, who cashed the paper. The money secured on the worthless checks was less than $30.
 Shaw is an interesting character A painter by trade, he is surely an art ist in his line and did we'll until booze got such hold on him that he let ev- erything else go but that. He worked for Johnson & Reay for some time but neglected his duties so that he was discharged. He is not only sign, ve- hicle and ornamental painter, but he is an artist with crayon chalk, his sketches being far above the average He also has done some really meritorious art paintings on canvas. The man could be prosperous in any community by apply ing his talents, but he lets everything go for his master-booze. It is very likely now that the unfortunate man will be put where his deadly enemy will be unable to reach him.
 Shaw before entering the Cuban war held responsible positions in some of the leading dailes of the east and west as a cartoonist, and has rare abilities along that line.

can be utilized either as dry farming or an irrigation proposition.
 Accompanied by MT. Harry Kelly of Gross, Kelly & O., Overseer Wilbur Glenn voliva and fifteen of his follow CTS from Zion City, H., made trip to the La Cueva ranch Monday afternoon and a complete inspection of this tract of farming land was made by Mir. Vo. liva and his party of expert farmers.
 The result was that before leaving for the east today they secured an op- tion on the entire ranch, and unless some unlocked for opposition is encoun. tered on their return to Zion City, the purchase of this large acreage will prob, ably be concluded within week.
 To Mr.. Kelly, more than any other one man, should the Zionists locate in this section of the country, belongs the credit for securing this large colony of agricuhurists.
 MT. Kelly realized that in ease the community should decide to accept the La Cueva site, the prospects for the construction of the electric line to Mora would be greatly enhanced In fact, their location near Mora would insure the building of the road, which would be of incalculable benefit to Las Vegas
 Because of his realization of the inn portance of the settlement of the Dow ieite colony near Mora, or along the proposed route of the electric line to that town, MT. Kelly gave up his busi- ness interests here for several days and devoted his entire time and attention to boosting the sale of lands to the men from Zion.
 The party returned from Mora yes terday afternoon and this morning Vo- liva and the men who accompanied him were returned to Zion City, where they will report to the other members of the church, and where a vote will be taken that will decide whether or not New Mexico is to be her future home. :. The overseer personally is enthusias- tic over the La Cueva ranch and all the men with him, who form his circle of advisers, agree with him that the community should either establish near Las Vegas or near Mora.
 Voliva also holds an option on a large tract of land on the mesa, and when he left for Zion City today he intimated that one or the other of the options would be closed within very few days.

 Sheriff Pacheco and Captain Wheeler were greatly surprised at the customs of tbe Indians and the apparent disre- ,,,l for any civilized laws.
 The letter is as follows: "An eye .,, an eve and life for life is not ,sa custom that prevails among the p,n,goes that live in the southwestern r.r. of Pima county. They vary the ancient law so that instead of really oiyipg au eye when one is lost or in s,s,i of having an execution when a rr,jsr is committed the family or rel ,,ives of the killed or murdered party are retomposed by money considera- ti0n.
 oIt was the refusal of John Johns, ,bs Indian murderer, to pay the small ann Of s-5 to the widow of the mur- 5srei man. that led to all the present ,r,Bb,e. As is the custom of the tribe, tbe s0uaw of the dead man took her claim up with the head chief of the sIpdian pueblo and the order was given tha, Johns should pay her s75. Johns baked in the payment and the squaw in her Indian understanding of her leca. right attempted to force the pay nent of this sum. This refusal of Johns pscei him under the ban of the law and i, is the general belief that he would have been dealt with according 10 the Indian customs had not the white man law stepped into the case.

The following from the Las Vegas Optic is of interest; l It is now practically settled that the Zionist colony will locate near Las Vegas, but the probabilities are that instead of purchasing land on the mesa, as was their first intention, that they will buy, outright, the big La Cueva ranch, which is about five miles from the city.

BETTER GOVERNMENT.

The action of the Capitol CITY
Trades Assembly on last Monday
evening, in deciding to take Il hand
in the placing of good, fair, honest
and fearless citizens in control OF
the city government, who will ad-
minister the affairs of the
city i'll the interests of the en-
tire citizenship, and not in be
halfof any political party or ring,
will undoubtedly meet the an
proval Of all the good citizens who
believe in government "of the
people, by the people and for the
pcoplc.'
Some of the political craftcrs
have already brought. out their
little hammers and are asserting
that the unions want to run the
town, such statements are malici
Gus lies and an insult to public de
cency.
The laboring men Of the city are
not seeking to place only union or
laboring men alone in office. but
are soliciting the assistance of Tie
liberty loving and law abiding
citizens to place men in Office from
the business interests and from the
ranks of labor, who are not CON
trollcd by the political grai'tcrs and
professional Office holders that in
vest our city.
The growth and future welfare
OF Greater Charleston demands
That the citizens assume control Of
Its government to be run on non
partisan lines. The time has ar
rived, when. for the best interests
OF our entire populacc that the
political bosses and uictotorS must
go, and the sooner the better.

OWN YOUR HOME.

OF all men, the workingman
should own his own home. There
are hundreds OF toilerS in this city
who have been for years paying
landlords enough money to have
bought them half a dozen homes,
and yet they do not own even a
single brick. 1t stands to reason
that there must be profit in rent
ing q hOusc-that is, for the man
who owns it. Why not save this
profit for yourself by being your
own landlord. There are ample
acres in the suburbs for the cree
ton of hundreds of pretty homes
where the tired toiler when his
work is done could rest and re-
cupcrate, and where by owning his
little home his living expenses
would be greatly reduced, as rents
in this city increase every year.
The ownership of your home is a
matter you should give some
thought to, Mr. Workingman
Nou can buy it almost as easily as
you pay rent, and in the end it
will be far cheaper.

STATEMENT CONFIRMED.

The editor of the Charleston
News confirmed the articles in
regard to the lawleSs manner in
which certain coal operations have
been run in this state, published
in the Cincinnati Post, Industrial
Index and other papers of the
country, when he came out boldly
in his issue Of Sunday, February
2ith and asserted that an amend
ment was 'inconse4ucntial' which
gives the mine Inspector the
authority to close Il mine that he
knows to be dangerous and in
which a disaster or explosion is cx-
pcctcd at any time which will snuff
out the lives Ofthc miners and make

Martinsville. Ind. July 0.-Miss
Grace Long. of Freedom, Ind, Tilted
Charles Byers, of Chicora, Pa, just
before the time set for the wedding.
Byers had been at the Highland for
several weeks and made the acquaint-
ance Of Miss Long. They were to cele-
brate the Fourth by being married at
noon, and then start for his home in
Pennsylvania. He had assisted Miss
Long to pack her trunk early in the
morning. On some pretext she asked
that the wedding be postponed until
I P. M, and Byers acquiesced. Then
she slipped her trunk out and sent it
to the station.
Miss Long went to the home of Mrs
Jane Curry, where she roomed, and
told Mrs. Curry that she would not
make Byers good wife. and that she
was going to leave. She left Il note
with Mrs. Curry for Byers with in
structionS that 1t should not be given
to him before 1890. She was accom-
panied by Miss Bertha Durbin, who
roomed with her, and it is thought
they left over the Big Four railway at
