NueENT IS OPTIMISTIC

TUCSON, AriZ., Feb. 28.-Hon. NJ.
j. Nugent of Yuma county has arrived
in Tucson and is stopping at the San
ia Rita hotel. This is the first time
Mr.. Nugent has been in Tucson dur
ing the past sixty days, as he has
been confined to his bed most of the
time, suffering from rheumatism. Mr..
Nugent is here to spend several days
for the benefit of his health.
Speaking Of conditions in his county
Mr.. Nugent states that his people are
optimistic regarding the future of Yu-
ma county and that everyone is anx-
tously awaiting the completion of the
big dam, fourteen miles above Yuma.
which is being built by the govern
ment, and when completed will irri-
gate approximately 100000 acres, TO-
600 on this side of the river and 10000
on the California side Mr.. Nugent
reports that work has been com
menced on the railroad from Yuma to
the site of the dam and that it will
be completed within the course of
the next sixty days
Mr. Nugent has always taken an
active interest in politics in his coun-
ty and has represented Yuma on sew
eral different occasions in the council.
Mr.. Nugent reports everything quiet
in democratic politics in his county at
present, but that a great deal of inter
est is being manifested among the re-
publicans as to whether the republi-
can delegation to the national conven-
tionSshalI go instructed or uninstruct-
ed. He is OF the opinion that the SEN
timent is about equally divided in
Yuma county and If any side has the
advantage it is those favoring an in
dependent delegation, free of instrpc-
ton.

agent, and the two Indian c1iefs, John
Mine and Jim Deer.
The 100000 which is to come later,
is the amount due the Indians from an
old treaty by which the government
took possession of a portion of the
Indian land.
The relation of the Kicking" Kick
apoo Indians to the United States gov
eminent is unique. They were origi-
nally a foreign tribe, making their
home in the Mexican frontier. Years
ago they came across the Rio Grande
into Texas and committed disastrous
rayages- and depredatidhs. Some of
the United States cavalry captured a
part of the tribe and took htem north
to the Oklahoma reservation. After
Uncle Sam had proceeded to make
each of them independently rich by
endowing him with 100 acres of Okla
homa land, they decided to leave the
country and join their brothers in their
old home in Mexico. They were not
well received by their wild brothers,
and being kicked out of camp, are
now shifting for themselves in Mexi-
CO, near Douglas. They absolutely re-
fuse to return to the United States,
yet Uncle Sam is benevolently pro-
tecting their valuable gifts of prop
erty back in Oklahoma, sending them
the rents and annuities and fighting of
grafters who would rob them of all
their rich possessions.
Yet we are prone to think of 10"
as the poor Indian, any of them who
come into Douglas every day own
property valued at from $4,000 to
100000. .s... -..
The government is watching closely
to see that they are carefully guarded
and that theiT money is properly pro-
tected from, the skin game artist

OFFICERS CATCH EIGHT
INTRUDIHG FOREIGNERS
inspector Hodgman, Formerly
of Douglas, Lands Two
of Them.

That the way of the transgressor is
hard, has been found out by a party
of eight foreigners of varying nation
alities, who are now in the Tucson
detention house and who will be sent
out of the country pretty shortly as a
result of their trying to smuggle their
way into Uncle Sans domain without
passports.
The party consists of six Russians,
a German and Portuguese. They all
originally shipped at some European
port as sailors and men of all work
on a tramp steamer that was expect
ed to make the trip around the Horn
They stayed with their enlistment un-
til they got to Guaymas, when they
concluded they could have a better
time and experience more adventure
if they took to going overland, and &C.
cordingly they took French leave of
the ship and their papers. r-
With one accord they headed for
the great unknown country of the
United States and they reached No
gales in the night between Friday and
Saturday. They determined to make
from there the effort, to break their
way into the country.
They broke up into parties and all
Of them succeeded in one way or an
other in getting over the border. In
the meantime the customs and immi-
grafton service at Nogales had been
put on to them, and although it was
then too late to prevent their getting
inside the country, all the bureaus in
his secion were notified.
immigration Officer Coykendall cap
tuped the Portuguese early yesterday
morning, and before he had gone more
than twenty miles into the country,
and took him straightway to Tucson
Officer Hodgman went down to Ari-
vaca Junction and nailed one of the
Russians and the German They were
held at Arivaca Junction and brought
in in the evening.
officer John Murphy of the Tucson
Office caught the big end Of the bag,
capturing all five of the remaining
Russians. He found them in the rail-
way yards, they having made a quick
trip to the Old Pueblo, and doubtless
imagining they were safe from pur-
suit.
As a result of the vigilance of the
immigration service not single mem
Der of the party who crossed the line
in the morning was out of custody at
noon Not a single member of the
party had any papers on him emitting
him to admission, and the service can
not even get at their names.
No effort will be made to return
the men to the steamer, which, ac-
cording to their story, they deserted,
but they will simply be run through
the regular deport ringer and shipped
out of the country with the next
batch.

The Boomerang and Its Inventors.

The boomerang is rather a puzzle.
One might think>that the highest laws
of mathematics had been laid under
contribution in the perfecting of it.
The convexity on one side, the fat
ness on the other and the sharp, knife
like edge on the inside of the con-
Yexity have the air of having been
carefully thought out. Yet the people
who invented this singular, weapon
cannot count higher than five and are
destitute Of all the arts and amenities
of life. Theirs is perhaps the lowest
plane of human life. Some people
have assumed that the boomerang was
the creation of an older and higher
civilization, but for this there is no
evidence. 1t must be the product Of
an age-long empirical use of throwing
weapons.

MORE FREIGHT CHARGE
THAN ASSESSED VALUE
Remarkable Situation That
ArouSes the Ire of Gallup
Business Men.
tMcKinley County Republican,

The business men and people of
Gallup are at the present time paying
to the Santa Fe Railroad company
every year, for incoming freight alone,
the enormous sum of $2S5,O0O.
Think of it!
This is over 100000 more than
the assessed valuation of all the tax
able property in the town.
A sum equal to the value of all the
taxable property here in Gallup, a
place of nearly 1000 inhabitants, and
100000 besides, going into the peck
cts of the Santa Fe every year. The
matter is outrageous.
If the freight rates charge at this
town were just, and in proportion to
those charged at other places in the
territory for the same distance, It
would not be quite so bad, but they
are not. The Santa Fe is charging a
higher rate to Gallup than to any
other place of equal size and distance
in the territory.
The freight rates which the Santa
Fe compels the people of Gallup to
pay are too high. They should be re-
duced at least one-half 1t would keep
at least one-half of S285,0O0 in the
pockets of our business men. $142,s
600 year left here in Gallup would
help our people more than most peo-
pie can estimate. This enormous
sum remaining in the cash drawers of
local merchants instead of railroad
capitalists at New York and be spent
by them among the people of Gallup,
tvs IS in41 4
at the Santa Fe depot to be shipped
away to Topeka, to ultimately be
turned OYER to a few bond clipping
capitalist at New York and be spent
by them in sight seeing trips to
Europe, is matter of the utmost con-
Germ to our people. This money ought
to remain here where all can benefit
by its circulation.
How long will the people of Gallup
tamely submit to such an injustice?
How long will our business men work,
toll and sweat, and then calmly and
without protest pay over their honest
ly earned profits to a sra sp'ng, blood.
sucking corporation which neither
has conscience to act as safe

c:~es whit for any of them individ-
uaIiy. except as to what it can get
out of them in cash? Are the peopIe
of Gallup slaves that they viii suffer
a corporation like the Santa Fe com
pany to squeeze their pocketbooks
dry every year. after they work so
hard for their money, and not invoke
the law to compel it to be at least
fair with them? The officials of the
road evidently think so. or they would
change their freight rates to this
place SO they would be little more
in proportion to what is charged at
other places in the territory for the
same service. They would be more
considerable in. their demands, and
would give Gallup-a decent depot
and better train service if they had
even a reasonable appreciation of the
eternal fitness Of things.
