Fatal
 Populations

Pat Garrett, the most famous of frontier sheriffs, the man who slew Billy the Kid, was slain last Saturday near Las Cruces, N. M., by a young rancher with whom he had a dispute over pasturng goats on land rented by the rancher from Garrett.
 The death of Garrett revives in the newspapers the old stories of Billy the Kid whose memory lies un- der mountain of obloquy largely undeserved, and again it is told that he slew twenty-one men before he was twenty-one years old, killing most of them for the fun of seeing them kick"
 It was in 1881 that Garrett killed Billy and received $10,OOO reward from Gov. Lew Wallace, and I made his acquaintance at Santa Fe just after that famous exploit. Later I saw much of him at Las Cruces, while he was sheriff of Dona Ana county, and he talked with me frequently and freely about the Kid, denying all the lurid newspaper tales and showing that the lad was only a reckless, hard-riding and hard-fighting man-at-arms of the nineteenth century, who became in- volved in the feuds of cattlemen and had the bad luck to be on the wrong political side. Billy was outlawed, and with price on his head he was a dangerous man for officers and ene- mics to meet Otherwise he was no worse than other gun-fighters em- ployed in the Lincoln county war, and in his worst aspect he compared fav-

orably with the hero of any swash- buckler novel that can be mentioned.
 Garrett himself was no Dad man. He was a grave, quiet gentleman, not given to packing a gun except when on duty as an officer of the law I knew him for years, and never saw him wearing cartridge belt and gun in town He was singularly tall man, six feet six I should say, and very slender He never drank, never quarreled, never raised his voice and did not pose as a gun-fghter But when he had thing to do he did it swiftly and efficiently. Very much the same type of man as Mobley Meadows, sheriff of Imperial county.
 He killed Billy the Kid in an un-. expected encounter in the dark, and the notoriety of that exploit stuck to. him for the rest of his life and caused him to be classed among the gun fighters of the Southwest Probably it was his reputation, which he could not shake off, that brought about his violent death. Young Brazel believed that Garrett would be swift to draw in quarrel, and he took the lead and called it self defense.
 It is not well for a man to be bur dened with the reputation of gun fighter if he has any ambition to re- move his boots before death.

Venezuela declines to submit to arbitration the decisions of it's own courts which do not suit the Asphalt Trust, and there is talk in Washington of making a demonstration of force. The Asphalt Trust seems to have un- diminished pull in the State De- partment or with the agencies which send out Washington news. Imagine the United States ordering England or Ger many to submit to arbitration case decided by the Supreme Court of either country, because the loser of the suit objected to the judgment. The Asphalt Trust is a rotten concern, and the administration dirties it's hands in taking up the quarrel.

THE WORST EVER.

When the Los Angeles men were here they heard a great deal about the abundance of good things grown in Imperial Valley and the delights of living in this sunny land, but we all forgot to mention that the com mon house fly (musca maledicta) of this region is the cussedest insect known to science.
 Let us tell the truth though the heavens fall. Of course we told nothing but the truth about sweet potatoes, sugar beets, al- falfa trees, cotton forests and the cane that Forester raised, but we didn't tell the whole truth for we side-stepped the fly ques- tion.
 The internal little nuisance is a winter crop, and there is more of him to the square foot than elsewhere to the cubic league. He has no fear of man, and his fa- miliarity is indecent. You can't scare him, you can't shake him ; you might as well try to snub a Chicago drummer. When he alights on a bald spot, it is for better or for worse until death do us part. He is the meanest, most persistent and altogether the -dest fly that ever happened.
 There is but one good thing to be said of the desert fly: that he dies early and stays dead all summer.

A professor in Indiana ap- pears to have tried to be funny and to have suggested that ex- Presidents be either pensioned or shot. A yellow reporter heard of his remarks, sends out the story that he seriously ad- vocates putting Cleveland and Roosevelt to death, and news papers supposed to be sane print the sorry stuff prominently. That is yellow journalism of the most offensive sort.

TAFT WINS FIRST ROUND.
Ohio Primaries and Convention to Be
Held at Early Date.

Columbus, o., Jan. 3.-The republic
can state central committee last
night, after protracted session, de-
cided to issue call for the state
primaries to be held February II, and
for the state convention in Columbus
March 8, to select delegates to the
republican national convention. James
r. Garfield, secretary Of the interior.
will be chairman of the state con-
yention. Friends of Taft were in con-
troll of the committee. Supporters OF
Foraker on the committee favored
later dates for both primaries and
the convention.
The vote by which the Taft faction
carried the various propositions was
IA to Z. A committee representing sup
porters of Foraker called on Governor
Harris and asked him to permit his
name to be presented for chairman of
the state convention but the governor
declined Several amendments to the
call for the convention were proposed
by friends Of Foraker, but in each case
were voted down.
The chief fight was made against the
direct primary plan for selection of
delegates to the state convention.
They proposed that delegates to coun-
ty conventions to be chosen by direct
vote, the county conventions to choose
delegates to the state convention. But
they were denied.

JURY FAILS TO AGREE
Caleb Powers Case Results in MistriaI
Was Fourth Hearing on Charge of
Completely in GoebeI Murder.

Georgetown, KY, Jan. 4.-Caleb
Powers jury was discharged at noon,
being unable to agree.
The jury was out more than forty
eight hours. This was the fourth
trial of powers for completely in the
murder Of William Goebel. In two
former trials Powers was convicted
and sentenced to life Imprisonment. In
the third he also was convicted and
given the death sentence.
After the discha-e---. the jury court
was adjourned till afternoon, when de-
fense,s motion for. bail will be heard
The jury stood ten for acquittal ana
two for conviction. Powers was show
cred with. congratulations. The Jurors
were greatly wrought up, there being
much i'll feeling. Two of them shook
Powers by the hand and actually cried.
There WAS no money in the jury fund
with which to pay the jurymen.
No criminal trials have attracted
more attention than has the case of
Powers, who eight years ago was just
entering on his term as secretary of
state when William Goebel, democratic
contestant in the gubernatorial contest
then pending before the legislature
was shot and killed at Frankfort, the
shot having apparently been fired from
window of the secretary of states
office. Powers was arrested and for
nearly eight years has been in various
jails of the state, part of the time as
state and part as a federal prisoner.
Powers was charged with having been
an accessory before the fact and the
open window in his office has played
large part in the various prosecu-
tions. For more than four years he
has not been brought to trial, his case
having gone thru various stages in the
state and federal courts. reaching the
supreme court Of the United States,
which, however, remanded it to the
state courts, and the present trial fol-
lowed that order. This, the fourth
trial, has continued for seven weeks,
the jury actually having devoted for
ty-six days to the regular considera-
tion of the trial and the later attempts
to reach decision.
