The
Indians Contributing to The
port of Coconino County.
Sup.
The sheriff of Coconino county is
an inventive genius and is now en
gaged upon an experiment which he
thinks will result in bringing about
a spirit of friendliness between the
Navajo Indians and the white stock
men whose ranges lie adjacent to
the borders of the reservation.
They have been , haring a great deal
of trouble along that border line
and the Indians, aided and abetted
by the United States, have always
had the best of it. When there
had been a scarcity of water or feed
on the ranges the Indians have driv
en their flocks and herds upon the
neighboring ranges with impunity
and the protests of the wüite stock
men have been unavailing. When
ever the stockmen have attempted
to retaliate by driving their herds
upon the ranges they were run off
by the whole United States army.
So the reservation line has only
served the purpose of restricting the
movements of the whites.
The sheriff, who is also the assess
or of Coconino county, got to think
ing that the county had a right to
tax all the stock found within its
borders. He swore in a corps of
thirty-five deputy county assessors
and a few days ago made a round-up
of all Indian stock he could find. , It
is now under attachment and the
sheriff is wondering what the Indi
ans are going to do about it. He
thinks some of the stock will have
to be sold to pay the tax and that
the rest will hereafter be kept with
in the reservation lines. Republican.

COKS AND CHEMICALS.

St. Louis, Feb. 5. A dispatch from

evince a disposition to make some
interesting disclosures. They freely
declare.that in many brewries a bar
rel of beer is being made with but a
half bushel of malt, while the
German standard for pure beer is
three bushels. The claim is as freely
made that corn and chemicals, have
practically supplanted barley in the

he expressed no surprise in seeing

been said in public print with refer

said: "We do not now, nor have we
ever, used corn in the the production
of any of our beers, and we have al
ways contended that first-class beer
cannot be made by using corn as
substitute for barley malt." ,
