Edward Hatch, 9th cavalry, is president, has reported a statement of facts and opinion as to the conduct of Col.

THE STATEMENT OF FACTS 18 “That Colonel Carr was ordered to arrest the medi- cine man of the White Mountain Indlans, after conferring with the Indian agent at San Carlos, Arizona; that the sgent notified Colonel Carr that he wanted the medicine man arrested or killed, snd that Colonel Carr moved out for this purpose with all the force at his disposal; that he did re- ceive information from varfous sources that the Apache tribes near Fort Apache were unfriendl, and that their conduct on the 30th of August, 1881, was threatening; that he permitted an interval of from one-half to three-quarters of a mile to occur in his column while returning from the Indian vil- lage on a rough trail unfavorable for defense, thereby exposing his command to serious injury in case of an attack; that he selected his camp with judgment, but seems to have been lulled Into and did not take the precau- tions in camping that the situation demanded, and such a8 are usual when putting commands into camp in the vicinity or presence of hostile Indians; that he was told by Lieutenant Cruse, command- ing the company of Indian scouts, that he consid- ered them unreliable; that he disarmed them from time fo time, and afterwards armed them and took them with him aga part of his command +to the cu.” a Senge of security, IT IS THE OPINION OF THE COURT “that the errors of Col.

THE TREES OF THE CITY. The annual report of the railway commissioners, extracts from which have been given in THE Srar, states that the interference of the tele- praph wires ts becoming a severe question, and 4s all the more complicated because of the clrcum- stance that most of the telegraph poles are set in the same Ines as the trees; therefore the height of the trees will depend upon the height of the wires, since It seems essential that no part of the trees should touch the wire. If this rule isto be followed, the trees will in time present a remark- able appearance on accountof the frequent and extreme pruning required to keep them suffi- clently dwarfed. “Attention is called to the num- bers of old and perfectly useless trees which e1 cumber the sidewalks and parkings in various parts of the city. These not only faterfere with the unfform growth of the trees planted recently in the proper positions, but seriously obstruct the public thoroughfares, ‘and give no equivalent for he great inconvenience they occasion. —._—_ SHE was HER OWN LAWYER.—Margaret Riley Was charged before the Police Court this morning ‘With being an unlicensed produce dealer. She sells produce on the sidewalk at the Center Market, as a country woman, and claims to ratse {t, thereby being exempt from the tax of $25 levied on the re- gul:r produce dealers, The government clalmsthat She buys at least a portion of the stuff she selis, ‘The defendant, who has a pretty good knowledye of law, argued’a motion for a continuance, stating that her counsel or witnesses were not present. Mr. Padgett stated that the government witness: ‘Were present, and some of them had been brought | here from Maryland and Virginia, and as the defendant had two days’s notice, she ought to be ready for trial, ‘The court said it’ was the custom to give the defendant one continuance, and although Mra. Riley had been notified two days to appear in court, she had not a continuance, The eourt st that in such eases where trouble of this kind 1s anticipated that the defend- ant be brought tnto court as soon as the warrant Js issued, and arraigned, and then given a contin- uanee. ‘The court said it would look like forci the defendant to trial to hear the case to-day, an he would hear only the witnesses who were non- residents, and could not come again.
