canyon country. In the spring of 1868
a band of Indians came along, shot the

shots were exchanged, but at long

account of the spring freshet, and
made their escape to the mountain. As
they left the cattle, we did not follow
them.

hours, we We're all hungry, and, having
nothing to eat, shot and dressed a
steer, roasting the steaks, held on the
ends of our iron ramrods, over a sage
brush fire. After our hunger had been
somwhat appeased, we rounded up the
cattle and returned them to the owner,

work. However, when he learned that
we had slaughtered one of his choicest
steers, he asked us to pay him SIG for

up with seats, aud started out. In
each vehicle we carried barrel of
whisky, with tin dipper hanging on

DISORDER IN COUNTY

WASHINGTON papers this morning
have for leading first page articles thrill
ling descriptions OF alleged serious con
ditions in Alexandria county conui'
tons according to these papers, similar
to those prevailing in the early history
of Virginia, when vigilance committees
we're essential. 1t is true that Alexan-
dria county since the close OF the clvi'
war has been infested with vicious ne
sroes from the fact that that section Of
Virginia is contiguous to Washington
towards which city thousands OF manu-
mitted blacks wendell their way under
the lead OF the Freedmen's Bureau OF
those DAYS. Tn 1897, it will be remem-
h.red, after negro had been lynched
in this city for crime which ne ad-
mitted, hordes OF desperate negroes
gathered in the vicinity OF Columbia
nike. armed with guns, pistols, sticks,
etc. and started on march to TINS
CITY for the avowed purpose OF murder
and arson. The authorities called out
the Alexandria Light Infantry ana
awaited their appearance. The would
be invaders, hearing the preparations
for their reception, reconsidered their
determination and returned to Their
homes. The mayor OF this city subse-
ouently received threatening letters
more terrifying than those ever sent
out by Blackhanders, but he is still IN
the land Of living. Alexandria has MOI
been mepaced by race troubles since.

nify everything which occurs south OF
the Potomac, and no person familiar
with the facts believe conditions are as
serious as has been stated. \ scare

THE SEPTEMBER PRIMARY.

The state democratic committee al
,be;r meeting in Richmond yesterday
fixed upon September as the day for
the senatorial primary election, which
action formally opens the campaign.
There has been some skirmishlnS, but
the general engagements may be ex-
nacted from now on. 1t has been in
timated that senators Martha and Swan
son should not meet their opponents,
Congressman Jones and Glass, on the
stump. but this has subsequently been
denied and there is reason TO suppose
that the present senators and their
would-he successors will visit most
places in the state during the summer
1t has been suggested that the two Nir-
qinia senators should hold aloof from
Joint discussions and let their records
stand "a refutations of the attacks OF
their adversaries, who have but little
ammunition and most OF that composed
of blank cartridges. The action OF the
court in Norfolk county in announcing
that there is nothing upon which any
prosecution of alleged political irregu.
larities in that hailiwick could be
based shows that the main plank IN
the platform Of the opponents Of
Senators Martin and Swanson is punk.
But the most ridiculous part played by
the enemies. Of the Virginia senator
vas their attempt to make the people
of Virginia believe that political
cancer had spread over the entire state.
because there were alleged irregu-
larities in portion OF the Norfolk dis
trict. A large; portion of the voters of
the state will, very properly, let Nor
folk county settle its own local po-
litical affairs, and not allow the petty
turmoil TO embroil the entire common
wealth or to cause them to lose conf
dence in worthy and efficient repre-
senatives whom the people of the state
delight to honor.

Hunnewell, Kans., May 5.-Mrs.

marshal, the head of the police depart
ment. The councimen (all mem admit
the political. battle with the lady mayor
is to be bitter.
The suffragettee mayor has com
planned to the governor that her ad-
ministralion in office is being hampered
by the obstructive attitude Of the coun-
Gil members.
She possesses the town records, how
ever. and no business can be transacted
unless she will surrender them. This
she refuses to do until she is assured
her wishes will be carried out. Mrs.
Wilson has notified the councilmcn
that she will not appear with the
records at the adjourned council meet
ing Monday night, unless they be
good" To BE good" they must con
firm the appointments of the city clerk

The chiefess is especially angry be-
