RAHIER WAS MURDERED
Was a Former Resident of
Cushing--Much Crime
in Itasca County

st. Paul, Aug. 8.-Inferring that
lynchings are possible to stop a carni-
val OF crime, which he declares is
rampant in Itasca county, ]. c. King
attorney of that county, appeared to
Governor Eberhart this morning for
a reward for the capture of the mur-
derer of George 81. Rahier a farmer,
who he says Twas slaughtered July
10 last. Governor Eberhart imme-
diately issued proclamation Offering
a reward Of $500.
The hand Of crime,'' says MIR.
King, lis too frequently used in
Itasca county. These frequent mur-
ders terrorize settlers, present and
prospective.
"A reward may stimulate search
and aid in bringing the murderers to
justice. This will obviate the needs of
harsher and more certain means to 60.
cure protection. now much talked of. -
Five murders were on the criminal
docket at the last term of court, &C.
cording to Mr.. King, and there are
five more to be considered at the COM
ing term. He says the murder of
Rainier, who he says was shot after he
had held up his hands, is one of a
series Of crimes.
The Rahier murder, he says, fol.
lowed shortly the shooting of a man
named Murphy. A man by the name
Of Wedge, he declares, shortly after
was burned to death in an lncendlary
fire in the same district and another
farmer, by the name of Lane, only a
few weeks ago, was burned to crisp
in an incendlary fire at the village of
Ball Club
Mr.. King declares the Rahier kill
ing was one of peculiar atroclous-
ness" The farmers body was
dragged into the bushes, where 1t was
not discovered for several weeks after
the crime.

that OF the old Arizpe Mining COM

name of Arizpe Mines company. and
! later merged with the Mexican Metals.
The, properties consist of about $4,000
pertenencias. including the Alacran.
Rey del Cobre, Palo Seco. Manhattan
and miscellaneous holdings.
The properties which revert to the
Dominion syndicate include the Ame-
liza, Pasduaria Espiritu and about four
others, all being developed to a certain
extent. There seemed to be a great
amount of certainty in the finding of
considerable ore In the Amelia; and 1t
is rather a surprise that the company
allowed the property to revert back to
the former owners
It is understood that August Frit-

Mexieans Metals company. who is at
present in London. will be in Cananea
in about month for the purpose of

Reports from Minitas, the newest

considerable ore and are in excellent
condition The Prieta and Junta prop
critics contain mills and five stamps are
dropping at each of the mills.

THE JUAREZ JAIL
Doctor Who Once Figured
in Border Sensation
rs Here.

DR.. w. S. Bolton, the man who was
rescued from the Juarez Jail Fl years
ago by four United States soldiers, is
here from his present home in Cali
fornia, on a visit with his friends in
Ell Paso.
DR.. Bolton. who was a graduate ply
stefan but engaged in the cattle bust
ness here, was arrested in Juarez
charged with murder. He was arretsed
on April 2, 1890, according to the local
historians, and was held until De-
cemberS 10, when he was liberated by
an ingenious plan.
Four soldiers from the regular army
stationed at Fort Bliss visited the fed
eral Jail in Juarez, presumably on
sightseeing trip. Previous to their visit,
a uniform of the United States army
had been smuggled into the prison
for Dr. Bolton. When the soldiers Wis
tied the Jail, Bolton, dressed in the
soldier clothes. put on a wig and
glasses and walked out with the sol
diers when they left the jail
The ruse was not discovered until
Dr. Bolton and the American soldiers
had been brought to the American side
by Billie Davis in his hack, which

radical changes in the Immigration Ia n,
are provided for under the terms OF
a general bill introduced in the senate
today by senator Dillingham;. former
chairman of the senate committee on
immigration and Of the joint immigra-
ton commission. Most of the innova-
lions suggested are the result OF the

The measure proposes to repeal the
Chinese exclusion laws. except so far
as the relate to naturalization. In
their place is substituted an amend
ment to the general immigration law
which provides for the exclusion from
the United States of persons who are
not eligible to become citizens OF the
United States by naturalization" The
exclusion does not apply, however, to
government officers, travellers and
members Of the learned professions.
Various features Of the present Chi
nese exclusion laws are made appli-
cable to all immigrants. and except the
manual laborers not eligible to citizen
ship by naturalization. the bill proposes
to give Asiatic immigrants the legal
STATUS dCCOTueO 10 all OIner 1mml-
grants. The one portion Of the various
Chinese exclusion laws not repealed.
Is the act of 1882 which provides that
no state shall admit Chinese citizen
ship. Senator Dillingham's bill also
provides for the exclusion from the
United States OF "all male aliens 16
years of age or over. who are physical
ly capable of reading and writing, but
unable to read and write In some Ian
