ITALIAN CONSUL GENERAL LEAD
TO BELIEVE SUBJECTS HAVE
BEEN WRONGED

In the matter of the account, The
Herald contained recently, OF the
Rough House at the San Juan sa-
loon the paper seems to have got itself
some, almost, international fame as
the following correspondence will
show.
The San Juan saloon people, we sup
pose, feeling that they were getting a
little too much free advertising, made
a statement of their side of the case
to the Italian consul at Denver, and
the following letter was received by
us this morning:
CONS ULATE GENERAL OF II. NJ.
THE KING OF ITALY
Denver, Colo, Mar. IL, 1911.
City Editor,
Durango Evening Herald,
Durango, Colo.
Dear Sir:
On the 9th inst. you have published
in your paper an article under the title
of italian Hough House" in which
1t Is stated that free for all fight
took place last Saturday night at the
San Juan saloon among several Ital-
ians. The fact is that, if there was
a fight, no Italian took part in it, They
were all Austrians. | kindly ask you
therefore, to rectify the news in one
of your next issues, and oblige,
Very truly yours,
A. RoSSI.
r. Italian Consul General.
Now, while we do not acknowledge
any allegiance to the king of Italy, or
any of the subjects of that kingdom,
we do feel that gentlemanly courtesy
is due the honorable gentleman and
we have written him as rollows:
Durango, Colo, Mar. IA, II.
Hon. A. Rossi,
r. Italian Consul General,
Denver, Colo.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your courteous letter, OF
the 11th, will say that the published
account of the trough house" affair
at the San Juan saloon. as The Herald
gave 1t, was simply fair report OF
the affair.
The San Juan saloon carries over
its doors a sign bearing the words
Saloon Italiano," the parties engaged
in the cutting scrape, and in the at
tack upon the policeman, were all
speaking the Italian tongue at the
time. SO we cannot see that we have
made any wrong statement.
The San Juan. or the Italiano, sa-
loon people have had not less than
three Of these brawls in their place
In the very recent past, so we are told
by the authorities, and, Just after the
last affair. the city authorities mott.
fed them that their license would be
revoked if the conduct of the place
was not improved.
We have no desire to wrong the men
of any nationality, neither do We in.
tend to excuse rufflanism and unlaw.
ful acts on account OF the nationality
of the lawbreaker.
You surely do not propose to take
up the cause OF lawlessness and / as
sure you that the law-abiding and self.
respecting Italian will always find a
friend in The Durango Herald while
am responsible for its conduct.
Yours very truly,
GEO. b. MUNSON,
Editor.
Now. the facts are that OF all the
Italians Of the vicinity who patronize
The Herald there were just three who
took offense to the article published
in The Herald. These three, we are
informed, are all connected, in one
way and another. with the saloon
where the cutting scrape originated
and. OF course, they do not love Just
that kind of notoriety. ANY attempt
to make the denunciation of a gang
OF drunken cutthroats appear as an
insult to any nationality or race Is sim.
ply ridiculous and that's all there il

bones. Although 1t was not necessary
to amputate the foot, Mr.. Palmer was
at Mercy hospital several weeks. A

was that the engine cut the shoe and
stocking almost in two, and 1t seems
like miracle that his foot was not

left the hospital and spent few days

smallpox, and was under quarantine
until yesterday. We trust that the
chain of sickness is now broken.

PROUDEST MOMENT IN HIS
 LIFE.

Judge Wells, the Republican member of the constitutional con vention. He objected to every thing proposed by the majority, and when the constitution finally was complete, he denounced the whole document in an address delivered before the convention. He did not merely take exception to the judiciary recall featul or any other particular section, but expressed his disgust with the entire work of the cOnven- tiOn.
 !. Following his speech along this line to the climax, Judge Wells was dramatic in his de claratiOn that the proudest mo- ment of his life would be when he could refuse to sign the con stitution (Here the Republicans gave him tremendous applause. The happieSt moment in Judge Wells life came to him few hours after the delivery of this bitter partisan speech, for he refused to sign the organic law when it was placed before him.
 Now, this same Judge Wells, who does not think the Arizona constitution is worth the paper it is written on, and who spurned it beneath his feet, wants the people of Arizona to trust him with the administration of law under the constitution. This is a most extraordinary demand, and shows to what extent of bald assurance the Cofpol cio n ; will go m their attempt to wrest the government of the new state from the people.
 In no department of life, in business. society or politics, do men dream of putting enemies on guard over anything upon which they place the slightest value. They always choose true and tried friends. So it will be in choosing men to administer the law under the Arizona con- stitution. The task will not be turned over to men like Judge Wells who exhausted the list of bitter epithetS in their criticism, and who in private conversation characterized the work of the convention as anarchy. - The Daily Globe.

 Organize in Nogales.

The big Bull" Moose. J. M. EppStine, announces that he will be ready to organize the Loyal Order of Moose here just as soon as he receives the necessary paraphernalia.
