that being the sum allotted to Iron
county for road purposes by act of
the Legislature some four years
ago. In proof that this money was
actually turned into the county
treasury, Bro. Swift says, "Upon
Investigation we found that the
State Auditor had ordered this
amount paid to the several coun-
ties. Upon further investigation
we found the county treasurer had
deposited a check in the Iron coun-
ty depository, on August 10, 1907,
amounting to S4, 1872. is" Now,
what has become of this money?
is the question to which my Broth
er implores answer-that is, print
ed answer. l am told he has been
shown the disposition of every cent
of the money, just as the same will
be cheerfully set out to any inquir-
ing mind by County Clerk Rey-
burn. The fund is accounted for

had carried his investigation fur
Their, Bro. Swift could have learned
through "the county depository"
of the various warrants issued
against the fund-just as l presume
he ascertained it's amount and the
date of it's deposit. That would
have been good Republican infor-
nation, and of course unquestion-
ably reliable. 1t might have saved
him much worry and many inqui-
ries, for, if the money was duly
and lawfully accounted for, what
matters the absence of a line of
detail in the published statement?
Items of receipts and expenditures
are sometimes dumped" therein,
while every detail is given in "the
books" Bro. Swift strikingly as
sumes a forbearance and suavity
in the body of his inquiry that
accords not with the thrilling bur-
den of it's half-inch heading. He
thunders in the index only. 1t is
to smile!

his mother, and John II. Ia son by

He was sick only a few days.
Came in from his run as Pullman
conductor on Wednesday morning
with an attack of la grippe. On
Thursday his condition became
suddenly worse and a physician
was summoned. 1t was found neg

his throat to relieve and feed him,
but it was all in vain, and on Sat-
urday at 10 o'clock P. M, just as
the old year was dying, 1t seemsd
a fitting end for one who, a few
years since, had passed his three
score years and ten, and that he
and the old year should die to-
gether.
He was converted and united
with the Methodist Church under
the preaching of Rev. DR.. Cara

loyal member and was a true, no.

| TAKE this interesting bit of

news from Mondays Republic:
John l. Haynes, a member of the
firm of Barnett, Haynes & Barnett,
architects, telegraphed yesterday
to Senator William j. Stone at
Washington, requesting that an
immediate investigation be made
in the case of his cousin, Joseph
A. Farrell, a mining engineer, who
is said to be unjustly confined in a
Mexican prison.
Mrs. P. Gleason of No. 6t22 N.
Market street, a sister of Farrell,
heard for the first time of her
brothers. imprisonment through a
press dispatch received here from
the City of Mexico. She immedi-
ately informed Mr.. Haynes, who
says that every effort possible will
be made to secure F~arrell's re-
lease.
Farrell, who is assistant mana
ger of a mining concern at Guada-
loupe, Zacatecas, has been confined
in a cell there since November.
He is charged with being accesso-
nv to the murder of a Mexican
miner, who was killed last Novem-
Der by Emilio Langlot, the store
keeper of the mining company of
which Farrell ia assistant manager.
Langlot, who was Immediately re-
leased, told the Mexican authori-
ties that the shooting was done in
self-defence. He claimed that the
miner had made threats against
himself and Farrell.
Farrell was arrested two weeks
later. For ten days he vas kept in
solitary confinement is a dark and
filthy cell. He was later transfer
red to a nor sanitary cell, but was
refused bail. Farrell stated that he
had given his revolver to Langlot
when told of the threats which had
been made against himself and
Langlot by the discharged miner.
A protest signed by eighty for
eign residents of Ell Paso reached
Ambassador Wilson, who investi-
gated the affair and found that the
charge against Farrell was unjust.
In his report he told of the inhu-
man treatment Farrell had received
at the hands of the Mexican au-
thorities.
How typical is this of the time
approved treatment of ''undesira-
BILE" Americans by the humane
and tender and justice-loving Diaz
government! What is Unole Sam
uel going to do aboutit? Nothing?
Or, at most, make a mild protest
with diplomatic expression of low
ing esteem? | have been told by
men who had been temporary res
idents in "our Sister Republic
that the only way in which an
American could be assured of life
and liberty was to claim British
protection! If true-and my in
formants we're reputable, intelli-
gent mems it not singular? But
lot us hope, if the Farrell story is
straight, that in this instance the
dignity of the government will be
upheld, and that hereafter British
protection will not be necessary to
the safety of United States citizens
lin the Diaz despotism and else
where.
