The Fremont County Record.
THE GRAND COUNTY AFFAIR.
Since last week's report of the assassina
tion of the officers of Grand county,
one of the wounded men—Mr. Webber—
has (lied. There have been no new out
breaks, nor have the two assassins been
captured. Correspondents, representing the
| morning papers of Denver, were sent over
| there ; but they have had little to report,
except conflicting accounts of the causes |
hading to the tragedy anJ diversified opin- ;
ions us to whom belongs the blame. There )
1i:ls been a mud of long standing, growing [
out of election contests, comity scat re
moval, land suits,and personal animosities; !
but, from what we have been able to learn !
on the subject, none of those questions ’
were so agitating the m.nds of anyone on
the Fourth of July as to naturally lead to j
■ the bloody scenes then enacted.
| It will be that Mills, one of
*]>,• tin -O Vu r the *
~:ne. two . .jfi ~ie d.*putv ;
county clerk, was insutntly killed. It :*p
! prai» now that he killed two men in Mis- ,‘
1 siatippi several years .go, and had to flee ‘
the country. He was in Wyomiug for a
time, and h:ul trouble there. Then he drift
ed into the North park, and about two
years ago became one of the county com
missioners of Grand county. He was made •
chsirmun ; and, supported *hy Wilson Wald- j
ron. ran the county alfuira with a high hand. ’
U aklroii kibe la uiau last fill.and was put !
in jail. There were persons elected and
appointed coaunissonere; but, on account of
resignations and failure to act, it was some- ;
time before a lull board was obtained, j
Finally the board was complete, consisting j
G. MilU, Harney Day mul 12. 1\ Wei?
,M ! r ' . two lattcr w «rkcd together, and
Webber was rnada chairman in place of
Mills. It in thought that while Mills and
Waldron were running things, they issued
many iile;rvl warrants and pocketed tlie pro
ceed*. A* any rate, whi n Webber became
chairman he announced that he was
jeoing to investigate the county warrant
business. When «u attempt was made to
hold the first session thereafter, they were
driveu from the courthouse by an armed !
mob, and were unable to get poss«-wsion of,
tbe comity ’s books and papers This mob
wu* led by Redman, who is supposed to !
have been oue of the CMwutsin.H, and who '
had often remarked that ho would kill i
Webber. It is supposed now that Webber j
and Day had coiuim octd an investigation )
of the county warrant business, or had an
nounced their determination to do so, at 1
the meeting on Monday or Tuesday, and •
that, to prevent exposure, Mills planned
their Mwniiution, \uth results ns lx*foie
published.
This version o/ tbe matter appear* to ns
to account for the matter better than any
other we have seen, if it be true that Mills
and Waldron had issued illegal warrants, it
would seem reasonable that tbe fear of ex
posure would lend a man of Mills’ cb a me- !
ter to plan desperate measures to prevent it. j
Governor Grant has ottViel a reward of!
SZW for the arrest of each and every per- j
son who criminally participated in the as- 1
"White 'tvhvcr. iy,~wo visited j
Anders artesian well, situated cn comer |
of California and Colfax streets. The well |
i* 37.1 lift deep, and flows a steady stream
of water of about an inch in diameter.
The water w perfectly clear, tree from nil i
mineral, or any objectionable taste, of good i
temperature for drinking. and is mid to l»e
almost |»erlectly pure. There are now five
other artesian wells at Denver, all flowing
a good stream of water. There is some
variation in the temperature of the water j
Iron* t ;, »‘ different wells, none of them,
however, being nnpleasantly warm for |
drinking purposes, and all bring good, pure j
water. Water from these wells is daily ;
taken about the city for domestic purposes, «
uml on every hand signs «rr ol** rvablc j
announcing the fact that artesian water is '
umed in the manufacture of lemonade, soda
and the like. People in largo numbers j
daily visit these wells for vvntcr. Some go \
just* for a drink, others witlt little*. pails, I
j tig**, kegs ami barrels ami take it away lor j
lionie use.
Many more w* 11s will In* Imred, and it is i
probable that one will l»e lioret! m court- j
house square, at the expense of the county, j
it being the intention to make it a pro*- j
pec ting well. This ml! is to lx» sunk some- i
wherefrom 1,200 to 1,500 feet deep ami a j
record kept of the formations passed!
through. By such a plan it will lie demon- ;
at rated just what underlies Denver, and
much valuable information will probably
Iks derived. This can lie done at trifling
expense to the taxpayers, nml strikes us
as a most commendable enterprise,
j Denver has suffered greatly in the prist
| from impure water, and oue of the grave
i questions as to the future nl the city has
I been relative to a supply of pure water for
domestic purposes. The success of these
I artesian wells, ami the quality of the water,
bus unexpectedly, furnished n happy solu
tion of that question. This artesian water
discovery is invaluable to Denver. It would
not be possible for anyone now to estimate
i the benefit* to In* derived therefrom in the
j future Other places suffering from itn
j pure, or an inadaquate supply of water will
! l*.' encouraged to secure a similar boon.
FLAX RAISING.
Tlio Pueblo Chieftain l*elievea that t J»o j
cultivation of llax in Colorado could ho ]
lundc a groat ni; I profitable industry, and i
ia surprised that tifarmers have not ox- 1
pen men ted in this* direction. The Chief- j
tain says in many of the western states a |
large n*rv:\ of flax is raised, hut the fibre is j
not used, brine burned or allowed to rot.;
Thearra of llnx planted in the western |
states in was 1,1'27.300 acres, yet upon !
all this are:* no merrlmntable bax was ■
raised. The yield of seed was about H.000,-1
000 bushels, and the value about $1,000,000. i
The total acreage el tlax in Europe. where j
j the fibre is utilized, amounte d in 1-SMO to j
3,334,3*20, and the value of the fibre pro- i
I dtaed to
I yield per acre in (lax seed, therefore, in the j
j western states was $7, as against an average
yield in Europe of fibre alone of $33. ltel
glnm, on an area one-eighth ns great as ;
that given to flax in the western American
states, annually produces (1,000,(KM) more;
and France, with one-seventh of the area,
produces annually $3,000,000 more. Here
is an Industry worthy the serious attention
of Colorado farmers

For a month past the atmosphere has>een -

SECRETARY TELLER EXPLAINS.
A Washington dispatch of the nth in
stant says the origin of the plan agreed np
|on last Saturday i published elsewhere in
the IvKCORD' for the safe-keeping of the
\pache captives. appears to htivc l*een
generally misunderstood. The proposition
j to place the police control of the San Car
i los reservation in the hands ot the war dc
. partment was mode hy Secretary Teller,
I and not hy the secretary of war. In a con
i versation Secretary Teller said : “There is
•no foundation for the report, that, if the
i arrangement agreed upon proves succcm-
I ftil. the control of all the Indian agencies
will eventually l>c transfer!ed to the war
• department.” He denies that any such
course is contemplated, and says the prin
cipal reason for placing General i rook s
captive* under th* supervision of the war
department is because that department has
the money necessary to keep them, while
the department °«* the Interior has none."
"The San Carlos agency,” the secretary
added, “will he maintained as heretofore,
except that the military "ill have entire
charge of the police control and especial
charge of the \ pnchc captives.”

A PLEA FOR WOMEN.
I In ancient times the law of superior
j physical strength was the rule ot* life.
• Whoever could conquer another was his
i master. With the progress of society this
j slavery has been so modified that men are
, nee, ill Christian countries; yet women
j arc still in astute of dependence. Whoever
j examine, with an unbiased mind, the
j history ol this law of force must admit that
j it is the ultimate origin of the present in
i' Jeriority of women. The advancement of
j the race has been so invariably attended
t by the amelioration of the condition of
| women that social philosophers ha.c
i adopted their elevation as the measure of j
| the civilization of a people. In the growth
; ot civilization all the old notions of the !
’ superiority .if either sex is fast becoming !
I er.*d:e::**»d. A nation f -tqpies elevated in
| aocon anco with its higher estimation of
i the character of its women. The aggregate
! female mind and character is an iudex
to the character of men. The true ad
vancement of the race demands the ad
vancement of the sexes. Women are ap
proaching nearer and nearer to equality
with men in all the vocations of life, and
th- signs of the times indicate that they
are destined to become man's eqnai in
every respect, except physical strength;
and no civilised nation will admit Jorce as
a ruling principle.
History has already shown that when it
has been the privilege of a woman to occupy
a high position,,whether political or social,
her ability has almost invariably been fully *
adequate for th<- place. We have few ex- j
amplest of reigning queens, in comparison
with the number oi kings; yet a greater
proportion ot them have been famed lor the
skill and intelligence ot their administra
tion. Magaret, of Austria, made governor
ot the Netherlands by Charles V, was one
oi the ablest politicians of her day. Eng- •
! »•> proud of her present queen. Cath
v- ue 11, of Russia, is considered the great
est monarch that has sat on the throne of
that country since I'tter the Great. Maria
Theresa, empress of Bohemia and Hungary,
led her own army, and managed her affairs,
with such vigor and address that the
monarchy ol Europe bowed in admiration. !
[>'■ . •: r. - qoeena, who
have taken great personal interest in gov- j
eminent and war, we cite only Dido, the i '
founder oi Carthage; Zenobia, the queen
of Asia Minor and Egypt, who led her ownfi
battles. and endured tr.e labors of the field ' -
like her eomrnon soldiers; Boadicea, queen j
of the K: itisli barbarians, w ho. when her L
husband was t.tken captive, assumed the • .
leadership of the army, and deafeated the j
Rom 11 legions : Margaret of Anjou, in the I
war of tlie Rases. If women can govern f
with such tact and wisdom, have not they 1 j
tht* uu ntal cajiacity for any minor calling? !|
With the ancients, file's political and m>- 1
cial position-whether patrician, plebian, 1 1
or slav.—was determined by his birth. The j
political disability of women is the single!
example of the kinfrT*SßJXfv r t *
guide. witiTouF r*-- ri' tion by legislation? j
There would be more force in the argument ■ t
if marriage were «»u equal conditions; but !
in these days the husband has the greater t ,
legal power. In business partnerships one J j
person cannot have exclusive control of af-! j
fairs; why should it be so in domestic alii- j
ances? Until within late years women j
have been taught to believe that the ideal j f
of female character is almost the opp>>site j <
of that ot men : not self-control and self-, '
reliance, but submission and dependence. !
They have been governed by custom and . ?
general opiniou too long. Let them rejoice ; 1
that this nineteenth centurv is the begin- ! i
uing of the age of free thought and inquiry '
for them, as the seventeenth was for men.
Liberal education is their grand aid to fit , r
them for the duties of hie. Thank God j f
that educational ad vantages are increasing, j
Italy deserves to be immortalized for first
responding to their call for systematic edn- f
cation. There is a growing interest in the . ?
practical training of women for business, j
In no age have they been so eminently ;
honored for their personal merit as in this. 1
It is not enough to be good ; they must be j j
good for something. Those women who can 1
take care of themselves are no drag on so- !
ciety. and are respected according to their ’ <
ability. The world is testing this by free ' 1
competition, and they are proving that , .
ability by the fact of success. Medicine and i
teaching are the principal professions open j
on a large enough scale to make such facts !
of much value, although a good reconi is ;
being made in law, theology, and the arts. ; :
' Discourage cot women trow studying med
; icine, a profession which is of so much value j
in the home ; or any other profession which j
will so greatly increase their sphere of use- j
fulness. Women, without medical diplo- >
mas, have won the cognomen of ** minister- i
: ing angels ; ” but arc tacitly proving that!
j they prefer to l*c commou clay, with them. !
j Eighteen huudred and cighty-ouc will be
memorable as the usher of the millennium
in a different souse from Mother Shipton’s 1
, pfophocy. It was the usher of the politi- !
cal cnfrancliiscmeut of women. The Isle of l
I Man has sounded the first note : austere \
j Russia has partially fallen into line ; and j
• England and the United States are prepar
ing to follow. Woman a heroism and patri
otistif have been fttlly demonstrated iu the
' religious and secular revolutions of the
j world. What better complimeut to the
| heroism of Amcri. iu women than that paid ,
; by a foreign officer to the mother ol* Wash
j ington: ** It is not surprising that America
• can produce great men. siuce she cau boast [
of such mothers." The United States has
: complimented w*.man's patriotism by
| choosing Mm. Yiuuie Kcuni Hoxie to make j
I the statue of its naval hero. Admiral Far- ,
i ragut ; and Acne Whitucy, to represent 1
• its statesman hero iu marble. Consider the
; great advancement made by women iu the
| present century —in art, science, literature, j
1 philosophy, philanthropy—aud say whether j
their prospect* are not bright for acting a |
; grand part in the Unlory of eteh Uw now
future; whcthei they shall n-H mmu OttttPJ
> the poeitiou to which they are morally en
titled. as mans compeer—the position of
■ with him in all relations of life,
1 and enjoy all the privileges of civilised and
! Christianized citizenship.
