&VAw,.it.'tfV'tf'Hi,s THE ARIZONA SILVER BELT OFFICIAL TATEK 6F GILA COCXTT. Saturday, November 17, 1888. CLEVELAND'S OETItACEOrs ACTION. June 2d, 1887. tne Belt was notified by Captain F. E. Pierce that on "Wednesday evening Chief of Scouts Al Sieber and himselfiwere fired upon by Indians, and that five Indian scouts were the principal offenders and in stigated the revolt- The shooting oc curred at the Sah Carlos Agency, at the tent of the Chief of Scouts. Sieber's leg was shattered' and Agent Pierce miraculensly escaped death. The scouts immediately fled the reser vation. They! .were nest heard of in Banker Hilt, Arivaipa District, where their bloody work was renewed, and the Tombstone Democrat, on June 6th, thus relates tha story of William Diehl's death: "About 3 o'clock p. m. last Friday, Win. Diehl and John Scanland were eating dinnerin their cabin, in Bun ker Hill District, and after they had finished, Diebl said to his partner, 'I am going to chop down a tree out here, about 125 yards from the cabin.' He went to work, and a few" minutes afterwards canland went out of his . cabin, saftlown under a shed near by, and pulled offthis boits to pare his nails. All at once he beard a volley fired from a deep ravine, about fifteen yard? from where Diehl was working. Scanland looked up and saw Dighl fall, and fa sard him say, 'lly God, Scanland.' Scanland rushed into his houss and grabbed his rifle. He came out immediately and saw feur Indians gom towards Diehl's body. Mr. S, fired upon the foremost Indian who reeled and jumped behind a tree. Tha Indians then commenced firing on Scanland, who re-entered the cabin and returned tlie fire through a can vas door. While a portion of the In dians thus engaged the attention of Mr. Scanland, two of them attempted to set fire to the cabin, but wore kept at bay by two degs. The siege was continued for about two hours, when the attacking party were called off by other Indians, who made their ap- psarance upon a knoll about 200 yards distant. Diehl received two bullets through the stomach and one through the heart." These are the same Indians who, on the same raid, murdered Michael Grace, and' were so harrassed by the close pursuit of Lieut. Johnson that they went into hiding on the reserva tion, and subsequently surrendered and were tried for the offense by court martial and adjudged to terras of ira pnsoninenlpxtending, it is said, from four to twenty years. Strange as it may scetn, these same red-banded murderers are back from Alcatraz, on the Si Carlos reserva tion, and stranger gtill, if we may credit the report, they were welcomed back from their lesfthan a year's con finement, by" thoughtless persons with martial music. Their re-appearance upon the scene of their murderous at tack upon Captain Pierce, their Agent, and his Chief of Scents,. Capt. Sieber, is due to their having a friend in Pres ident Cleveland, who granted them, without a why or wherefore, a full and unconditional pardon. The only consolation the West has in regard to Cleveland is that he can not officially live to plague us after the 4th of March next, and yet we have suffered from his waywardness ever since his refusal to listen to our representatives, Hon. G. H. Oury and Judge Dibble', specially delegated to represent the afflictad condition of bleeding Arizona.xesultmg from Chir icahua raids. A man named Hodges has notified Surveyor General Julian, in Santa Fe, that he and his brothers and sisters are the rightful owners of a tract of land thirty miles square, containing 600.000 acres in Colfax county, N. M. Tit Its to this vast territory is claimed" under a grant alleged to have been made by the crown of Spain in 1685 to the present claimant's natural ances tors, who bore the ptculiar name of Corpus Chiisti. The- land1 claimed is in the vitunity of the towns of Raten, Springer and Folsom, and probably includes the last two named. A por ti in of the Maxwell grant and a large number of claims of settlers are jeop ardized by this grant. Las Vegas Optic. From the vote already received the indications are that Capt. Hardy is elected to the Council, L. O. Cowan Probale Judge, W. H. Lake Sheriff, L. J. Lassell Treasurer, E. J. Godman Recorder; O. P. Kuenccr Surveyor, Daniel Smith and J. H. Johnson mem bers of the Board of Supervisors. Thomas Halleck is probably elected to the Assembly.- However, the pre cincts to hear from can only change the vote for Assembly, Treasurer and members of the Board of Supervisors. Mohave Connty Miner. A Quebec dispatch, of the 12th, re ports two feet et snow along the St. Lawrence. A government steamer has been sent to patrol the coast and aid wrecked vessels. It is apprehen ded that many fishermen have been Ji-- in rWeiucnce of the storm. TOVfAED THE There is much truth in what Repro sentative O'Neil implied in his speech supporting the irrigation project, namely, that a largo numbsr ef Con gressmen are not competent to Itgis- late on many national questions by reason ef their gross ignorance of por tions of the United States other than. their own or, perhaps, two or three adjoining States, and therefore can not appreciate the necessities of sec tiona remote from their own, and the value to the Nation of public enter prises which to their unenlightened vision are sectional in scope. Mr. O'Neil's suggestion of makingit incumbent upon Congressmen to travel and acquaint themselves with every portion of Uncle Sam s domain in order that the' might legislate intelligently, and . that the Govern ment defray their traveling expenses, while probably spoken in jest, never theless, is deserving of serious consid eration. The Representative from Missouri, in the speech referred to, said: "It (travel) would change mar- velously not only the judgment of members, but their speeches. If gen tlemen had personally visited the re gion in question here, there are very few who would require any appeals to them to vote for the pending measure." In nearly all measures affecting the West, and especially in the matter of appropriations, unreasonable preju dice up!in the part of Eastern Repre sentative is met with; and is so diffi cult to overcome that our great sec tion, with its vast resources requir ing Government aid for their better development seldom receives justice. There are 325 Representatives in Congress apportioned to the several States, according to population, thus giving TOtbe more densely settled commonwealth of tho East-and South' the controlling voice in legislation. Nineteen States the farthest west being Alabama together bava a ma jority (166jf votes in the lower house. Nineteen is exactly one-half, ef the whole number of -States, and from tbis-standpoint it may seeem a just apportionment, but look at a map of the United States and you wijl be impressed at, the small space, which tho'se nineteen States occupy; In reality they ccmpriaepnv about one fourthithe area of all the States in the Union, and- about one-sixth of the entire domain excluding Alaska. In a country of such vast extent as ours, few nienhave a comprehensive idea of the needs of all sections, and of the relative value of public enterprises deemed by their promoters expedient for the Nation. And especially is this so in the old Southern and East ern States where there is little migra tion and where the soil has been in possession of the same families for fif ty or an hundred years? they spend their lives on the old homestead, and die with the conviction, almost, that the sun rises and sets on the confines of their native State. They know no other people than their own and feel littje interest in .the progress of the Nation, so long as their demands-are reasonably satisfied. Men. reared in such an environment, with selfish, sectional ideasinstilled into their minds from childhood, can not he ex pected to hold liberal views on ques tions of public polity. And yet we find many such men in Congress, whose brilliant attainment!, perad venture, render their prejudices more pernicious, and difficult to. overcome. This is one of the chief forces oper ating against the progress of the West, but one which is gradualty les sening. There are broad-minded men, also, in the halls of Congress, repre senting Eastern constituencies, who recognize the value of the West, and the importance to -the whole Nation of having its great and varied re sources developed, and aided by their votes and influence we may hope for more favorable legislation. Then, again, the admission of three or four Territories te Statehood, which will, certainly follow the return of the Re publican party to power, and what is still more important, the re-apportionment of representation, after the census of 1890, will so increase the in fluence of the West at Washington, that her'importanco will receive mer ited recognition, and her just demands be aeceded to. The joint meeting of the Butchers'! National Protective Association and the International Rane Association, which will be held in St. Louis, No vember 20-24, inclusive, will be the first representative gathering ever held in the United States, to inaugu rate measures offensive and defensive with reference to the so-called dressed beef monopoly or trust. The nominal object of the Convention is to hold a conference with the United States Sen ate committee appointed to investigate alleged violations ef the interstate commerce law in the shipment of cat tle and beef; but the chief work of the Convention will jptba adoption of a draft of a live-stock inspection meas ure, to be submitted to the State Leg islatures, and the encouragemont, by all practical means, of there-establishment of competitive cattle markets. Adjutant General Drum estimates the number ot uniformed active mili tia of the scvernl State, as an avail able force, at 100,919 men. ATTnxnE WEST. Nogales polled 190 votes. On the 4th of March next the Re publicans will be put in possession of Uncle Sam s farm. The question naturally arises, "what will the har vest be'-'? The Now York World says that Mr Cleveland's increased vote in that city of 13,000 ever that of 1884, shows con clusively that he was squarely sup ported.there. At Pittsburg, Kansas, a coal mine disaster occurred on the 9th instant, in consequence of a gas explosion. which, it is conjectured, resulted in the death of one hundred and fifty persons. It is a fact not generally known that all ore shipped from this place at present generally goes te El Paso in stead of Socorro as" formerly. Where two car leads go to the latter place, twenty now go te the former. Epi taph. Mining for precious metals seems to pay as well as any other industry For the ten months ending October, 31st, fifty-eight companies in the Uni ted States paid 11,244,397, and the same companies had paid previously $88,418,319. ' Sam Purdy, the effulgent political star of Yuma County, accommodated the people of that county by allowing himself to be voted for for the Terri torial Assembly and District Attorney. Inasmuch as he can not held both of- ficis, the. public are on tiptoe to learn which ho will elect to fill. Bucky O'Neil's election as sheriff of Yavapai County is cordially greeted wherever he is known. John H. Ma rion, chief engineer of the Walker tug, will have charge of the craft upon its voyage up the Rio Salado, and it is possible that after a good deal of eter nity is wasted, they may be seen on their return voyage to where the O'Neil cvclone struck them Nov. 6, 1888. There is a growing conviction among tne people ot this lemtorv that courts are a failure and a burden on tax-payers which might well be abolished. Gov. Zulick pardons many of the few white criminals convicted. and Cleveland now has turned loose Indian murderers, whose necks, had they received their deserts, would have filled the; hangmans noose. Cleve land's action was certainly a flagrant abuse of the pardoning power. The Supreme Court of the United States, on tho 11th, denied David S. Terry's petition for a writ of habeas corpus. It will be remembered that Terry and Sarah Altlica his wile un dertook to personate the bull in a china shop, m Judge Fields' court, in San Francisco, for which they were imprisoned, and in order to relieve himself from the circumscribed juris diction of the lock up, Terry appealed to the court of last resort to turn the key upon his imprisoned corpus. A WasbingTon dispatch to the New York Daily News makes this state ment: When President Cleveland had prepared the first draft of the message he sent to Congress last December he sent for the Secretary of the Treasury to submit the document for his criti cism, and remarked: "Fairchild, 1 have written something here that will beat me for re-election, but it is right." The fulfillment of that prophecy was read in this morning's papers, and that the tariff brought it about is conceded by the managers of his campaign this morning. This may and may not be true. If true, in what light does it placo Cleve land? It shows hiw to be a man wanting in the attributes of states manship or loyalty to the Democratic party. His self reliance placed the life of his party upon a single issue and like Esau sold it for a mess of pottage. The party not realizing the dilemma beguiled the time like a kit ten with a ball of yarn. Secretary of State Bayard has again gone off half-cocked. It will be re membeted that be demanded ef Mexi co tho instant release of Cutting and was snubbed by that Republic. Re cently the Republic of Peru trod upon Uncle Sam's corns, and again our Sec retary of State was angered and ready for fight. He cabled the American Minister, at Lima, to shake, his fist under the nose of the President, of Peru and demand of him an instant apology for seizing a house in which the U. S. Consulate was located and removing the U. S. coat of arms there from. Our Minister obeyed instruc tions and wired Secretary Bayard "Peru is huffy, can't see the propriety of apelogizmg to a second-rate pnwer which has no organized committee on shoot." Bayard's response to the U. S. Minister was: "The Department of State orders that you forward full particulars of the affair before taking further steps." Since writing the above wo learn that on the 13th, Capt. Logan, com manding Fort Hancock, Texas, togeth er with three soldiers were hunting in Mexico and were imprisoned by the officials for not having first obtained permission. The- are now in the El ' Paso del Noric jail. PBOTECTIOX AGAIXST THE QUA1SAXTME siiie:: Tbe sUckmen of Cochise County, dissatisfied with the cattle quarantine and inspection order affecting the im portation et Mexican cattle, have for warded i petition to Washington pro testing jainst "the unwarrantable and unjustifiable interference with their business on the part of tho Gov ernment." They refer to the report of the Territorial veterinarian as proof that no disease exists or ever has existed among Sonora eattle imported into Arizona. The Territorial vete rinarian is severely censured for hav ing made "such an incorrect and mis leading report, and such iniquitous recommendations" as demonstrate "bis total unfitness for any place of re sponsibility." If tho order is to be enforced they demand that' the Hereford Custom House aud Buenos Ayres be declared ports of entry in addition to Negales md Yuma. Delegau Mark Smith forwarded the protest to the Secretary of the Treas ury, accompanied by a letter recom mending.tbat it be favorably con sidered. I Assistant Secretary of tho Treasury Mayuard has ordered Buenos Ayres and Hereford Custom Houses opened as ports of entry for Sonora cattle. It is asserted thai Colsrado may rival Pennsylvania in the production of petroleum. In the valley ot the Arkansas, near Pueble, about twenty wells have been.bored, and the yield is a thousand barrels a day. The oil is green, excellent in quality, and what is better, has an agreeable smell. There are no gushing wells as yet, but the average flow surpasses what other States have afforded. This find puts an end to the prophecy that our il supply would soon give out. The prospoct, on the contrary, is that the yield is indefinitely great and inex haustible. Tha Arkansas Valley field alone is enormous, and the supply trim it will not be exhausted in a hundred vears. The five stones erected to mark Mason and Dixon's line" between Maryland and Pennsylvania have just had their annual visitatien by com missioners, who report' one in good condition, one lost, one broken, one dislodged by . mining operations, and the fifth, which bears on one side the arms of Pennsylvania, on the other those of Lord Baltimore, badly dam aged by vandal relic hunters. Within quite recent dates transcon tinental cattle trams have been mak ing a rate ef spetifl from western re gions to New York never attained before, overtaking and passing the regular passenger trains. A contem porary suggests thaT "the travelling public will soon demand that a Pull man car be attached to these cattle trains, for the accommodation of those doiiring to travel swiftly Colin Cameron says he is opposed to a quarantine on Sonora cattle, which, he asserts,' are as healthy as Arizona cattle. Further, he says the inspec tion talked of would he Useless as it would be impossible to really examine a sincle bullock, and "the farce" he thinks will never be commenced. The result of the election for dele gate to Congress in New Mexico, ac cording to a Las Cruces dispatch of the 10th; is in doubt with chances in favor of Otero. Joseph's majority two years ago was nearly 4000. The Ter ritorial Legislature will beitepubiican in both branches. The United States Senate commit tee having in charge the investigation of the beef question, will be in St Louis the week -beginning Nov. 19th, and consequently during the great cattle raisers' and butchers' conven tion. It is estimated that 500,000.000 is nvested in the cattle business, in States and Territories west of the Mississippi. The lowor biu3e of the 51st Congress will be Republican by at least seven ma jority.
