DROPPING OLD CASES.
Several of Them Taken from Court
 Calendar.
(From Fridays Daily)

Wednesdays action of United States Attorney Alexander in dis missing cases that have been on the calendar of the federal court for nearly twenty years, covering all manner of alleged crimes, meets with favor by all. Some of these cases have served in their long en. duranee run to hamper men who were said to be innocent of the deeds charged to them. They have in con sequence been under a cloud, and there is no doubt but what their in. terests have suffered
 In this connection an interesting statement was made yesterday by Assistant United States Attorney George D. Christy, who is in the city, covering a crime committed by Geronimo, the noted Apache chief, who had a true bill found against him by the federal grand jury at Tucson, in 1887. The charge was murder, committed at a time when this Apache was in the height of his deviltry. The case was carried along until few months ago, it being i'm possible for a civil jury to reach him, as he was in the hands of the mih- tary for over twenty-one years. A few weeks ago, or as soon at it was learned that Geronimo had died, and officially was out of the zone of any thing earthly, or within the prov inee of the judicial system of the territory, Attorney Christy made a motion before the United Staes court, in session at the time in Tucson, that the case against the chief be dis missed, presumably for want of jur- isdietion. The dropping of these long-drawn-out crimes is being com mended.
