Mrs. Lizzie Carter , alias Barton , who sent
paveral hot letters to W. A. Mynster and
his wife , was brought before the United
States commissioner yesterday for a hearing
on the charge of sending unmallablc matter
through the malls. The letters were Intro-
tlucsd in evidence , and Mrs. Carter cheei fully
admitted having written them and malleJ
them , with the intention that Mynster and
his wife should rec l\o them. The case was
then taken under advisement , and a decision
will bo rendered next Tussday. United
States District Attorney Charles D. Fullen
was present and conJuctel the prosecution.
There seems to be some probability that the
case will be dismissed , owing to the fact that
Mrs. Carter fought shy by a hair's breadth
of any offense for which tha United States
laws provide a penally. There are two sec
tions of the law against milling unmallabl °
matter , one of whlch prohibits mailing any
sort of lewd or lascivious matter whatevci.
The other prohibits the mailing of any scan
dalous , threatening or libellous matter on J
postal card , or an unseated letter or package.
The charges against Mrs. Mynster and Mrs
Paulson were certainly scandalous , and may
prove to have been libellous , whll ? certain
language contained In the letteis may b ;
coi strued as threatening , but they certainly
vvero not sealfd , ro that that section does not
hit them. The letters will now be carefully
studied with a view to finding , If possible ,
something of a vile or obscene character. In
order that the federal law may lay hold of
Mrs. Carter with a tighter grip. If this
proves to be impossible , nothing will be left
but to prosecute the Insanity case against
her.

lap and put his arms around her , but still
remained quiet. His wife offered him some
milk , and ho took a few pips of It. Finally
ho lay down on the bed without undressing
and went to sleep. Ho slpt almost all day ,
but awoke along toward evening and com
plained to hln brother that his head hurt him.
Ho told his brother nothing as to his motives
In running away , nor did his brother question

At the tlmo of my visit , sajs a writer in
tha Count ! y Gentleman , there were a good
many of the Ute Indians In Colorado , and al
though not In open warfare , they wore fly
and thievish , and one had to b : constantly
on his guard in camping out. I got a good
deal of amusement In studying the speci
mens of the noble red man I met , and had
a good many ideas that I had previously
held materially changed.
Ono old buck In the suburbs of Denver
had two squaws whom he kept constantly
at work tanning buckskins , the process con
sisting mainly of kneading the hides hour
after hour with the knuckles This occupa
tion the squaws followed up for a good many
hours , seven days In a week , and got a large
amount of Ill-treatment and abuse as princi
pal pay for their work. When one of them
had prepared a meal of antelope or Jack
rabbit , the lord and master would sit down
and devour the principal portion of It , leav
ing the remnants of the rspast for his half-
famished wives.
In physical endurance the Utes were no
match for the white frontiersman , as > thsy
violated every law of health and every prin
ciple of prudence. They gorged and starved
by turns , and If they lud any money they
spent It for candy and pills Their passion
for investing In patent medicines , and espe
cially hi pills wonderful and
, was all-con
suming , ind this peculiarity was carefully
fostered by the dmgglstb and grocery of
Denver. Doubtleps pills helped them after
ono of their gorging feasts , and this led to
their Indiscriminate us : of them at all times
when tired , lazy , or sick. Although not the
equal of white men in endurance and the
IntolllgJiit conserving of health and strength ,
some of the Indians would perform wonder
ful feats on horseback.
One young buck gave exhibitions of skill in
horseback riding and archery. In a larg ?
vacant lot In Denver ( It was mostly vacant
lots In those days ) he had planted a .post
eight or ten inches in diameter. He would
ride In a circle around the post , at a distance
of sixty yards radius , and phoat arrows at It
with his horse on a dead run. He circled to
the left and rode with his left leg over the
horsa's back and his left arm over Its neck ,
holding his bow In his left hand , his right
past-Ing under the horse's neck and grasping
the bowsprlng At th ? Instant of shooting
his right eye would appear beneath the
horse's n'ck for a second to aim the arrow ,
and then the arrow would speed to Its desti
nation , hitting the post three times out of
four. From the post , which represented the
enemy , only his left leg and arm appeared In
view , his entire head and body being pro
tected by the horse. Ho would shoot three
arrows in one circling , around Hi ? post. The
quiver holding the arrows was slung so the
open end Just appeared above the right
F/ioulder.
The arrows then and still In use were
wooden shafts , with heads cut from hoop
Iron. The heads were triangular In shape ,
with a narrow neck , which was Inserted In a
split In the shaft and tightly bound in with
green rabbit gut or deerskin thongs , which
shrunk In drying and made a union of great
permanence. The front edges were ground
uharp , and some of the bucks would shoot
with force enough to mortally wound a
buffalo at thl-ty yards. In spiteof the com
parative cheapness of firearms at that time
every hardware store in the country being
stocked up with rifles sold by th govern
ment In the > earo succeeding thn war the
Indians did not take to their UBS very cor
dially , preferring as an < very-day weapon the
bow and arrow. The lightness and simplicity
of the bow and arrow , with the total ab
sence of any intricate machinery which ho
could not repair himself , doubtless had some
thing to do with this choice.

Many people suffer the pain , annoyance
and often seilous results from pllos for years ,
and alter tr > lng the many lotions , sal\es ,
ointments and so-caled cures without cure or
relief , ghe up the hope of a final cure rather
than submit to the Intense pain aria dang.'r
to life \\hlch a surgical operation Involves.
Happily all this suffering Is no longer nec-
esfury since the discovery of the I'jramld
Pile Cure , a remedy which Is approved by
the medical profession an being absolutely
safe , free from any trace of opiates , narcot
ics or mineral po'sons ' and which may be de
pended upon as a certain euro ( not merely
relief ) In any form of piles , whether Itching ,
blind , bleeding or protruding. Some of the
hundreds of cures recently mnde are llttlo
short of marvelous , as a perusal of the fol
lowing will demonatratu.
Mjjor Dean of Columbus , Ohio , says : I
nUh to add to the number of certificates as
to the beneilts derived from the I' > raaild
Pile Cure , I suffered from piles for forty
years , and from Itching piles for twenty
years , and two boxes of the Pyramid Pile
Cure has effectually cured me.
Dr. J. W. Megan , LeouardvllU , Kan. ,
writes : I have used a box of Pyramid Pile
Cure and received more benefit and relief
than from any remedy I had ussJ In the

greatest care. Every Important crime was
studied and the course of the trial followed to
the end. One story of the deed was not
enough. In the case of one particularly
shocking murder In San Francisco the man
secured thlrtj-seven different papers giving
detailed accounts of the crime. He read and
reread each of them , fairly gloating over the
revolting particulars and even showlnc the
articles to his friends that they might see
what a rare collection he had gathered.
Dr. J. O. Ross of this place , who has for a
long tlmo acted as Royca's physician and
has made a careful study of his case , says : "I
have never known a man who took a more
morbid Interest In crime of all kinds. On
the occasion of the Noack-Mlnter murder in
this city I Immediately thought of Royce. I
bcllevexl him to bo cxActly the man to com
mit such a crime , nnd could hardly satisfy
myself that he was not concerned In it until
I learned that he vv'as In Jail In a neighborIng -
'
Ing town in South'Dakota at the time for
running a liquor joint In violation of the
law. I hove seen In his room stacks of
newspaper clippings a foot high containing
accounts of murders all over the. country. It
frequently happened , wliere he could not get
biifflclently thrilling accounts of such affairs
In the telegraph columns of the papers In liU
own town , that ho would send long distances
for local papsrs In which the matter was
likely to be handled at greater length. "

a strange s'ory to the court. Ho said that
It would be remembered by many through

dlcled at Cincinnati some time a'go''f6'f'rUn- {
nlngor conducting a swindling matrimonial
agency. 'Sho worked hsr scheme by sending
photographs of handsome women to different
men In all parts of the country , at the same-
tlmo s'atlng that they were rich and matrimonially
menially Inclined. A running correspond
ence usually resulted between the supposed
beautiful woman and her matrimonially in
clined fellow , and an coon as developments
were brought to the proper place , $10 or $20
would be asked for. This amount would
usually b ? forthcoming , and there Is every
reason to believe that Efte realized large
amounts cf money with her crooked schemes.
