GRAVE DIGGING, THE
 RESULT OF WITCHCRAFT.

Following revelations revealed by Marshal tred FOnzo, the mystery sur. rounding the resting place of Duncan Mcraduen. in close proximity to the famous grave of Soapy Smith, has become more mysterious and is said 70 be due 10 the practice of witch craft on the part of superstitiOus ua- lives.
 The grave was not disturbed by those seeking hidden treasures ac. Cording to the discoveries made by Marshal Fonzo. Nor was it disturbed by members of the Citizens party, as suggested by Mayor Tanner. but the digging which took pl2ce there in the dead of night was done by Jack Williams and Ben Lee two natives. who sought something which was supposed tO be hidden there by In- dian witches and which was directly responsible for the sickness of Will ilamS little son, who has been Ill for some time.
 Either being frightened away or discouraged by their failure to find the articles mentioned by the witch. the natives left leaving their tools on the ground, which we're found Text day by visitors in the city.
 On locating the disturbers of the grave Marshal Fonzo listened to their superstitious story and decided not to prosecute them on what is said to be a serious crime. but which he feels was not done with criminal intent by the natives. Af- ter giving them a curtain lecture and warning them from repeating the act, he let them go.

men higher up as Rose alleges, this
still might be true without affecting
the force generally, for among 10000
men there may be number Of crooks
and yet the vast ajority remain hon

nature let us believe that this or some

Waldo Is not alone in asserting the
absence Of graft among tho police.
Many other high officials Of the de-

could exist without these mon having
some tnkling Of the fact-that Is, I'M

nor has also expressed his faith in the
honesty Of the police, while ripping it
into the newspapers and most every
body else. So If Gaynor, Waldo and
high police officials have faith In them
selves and in each other why should
we not have faith in them also?
Yet against all this pleasant opti-

MERGE court from all so called negative

Mr.. Wickersham makes it plain that
shippers should not be permitted to
appeal on questions Of fact as to the
rcaSonablencss Of their requests for re-
auctions in rates in cases where the
commission denies tho relief. The ap-
peal should lie only when the commits
sion refuses to decrease tariff be-
cause Of its supposed want of iuris~

tcrStatc commerce commission to act
IN the premises should, the attorney
general says, be determined by n court.
