El Paso, Texas, July 26, Among the

where many summary executions have
taken place. According te-the Mexicans,
Dixon started to run and after getting
a block away; was fired upon by the
troopers and hit In the back. He was
brought back te El Paso badly wounded.

TO
APPEAL FEDERAL SUIT
Antiquated Clerk Fee System
With Its Other Beauties Pro
vides Qouble Charges.
One reason why the cost of litigation
In the United Statea courts is so heavy
is the exorbitant fees exacted of liti
gants, under the law, by the clerka of
the district, and appellate courts and
by the marshals, which are Incurred
every time a document Is filed and
served, in the case of the marshal, all
the fees are turned in to the govern
ment; the salaries, of the marshal anl
his deputies not being dependent upon
the business done.. In the case of the
clerk, however, all fees up to the maxl.
mum ot $7000 allowed aa compensation
are retained by him, the remainder be
ing turned over to the government.
With the fees up to, 17000 thus re
tained by the clerk, are other sums
which charged up in perfect accord
ance to law, make the income of thla
official in excesa of $11,000 per year.
The chief of this outside compensation
comes from the transcription and print
ing of tne record in cases where ap
peals are made to the circuit court of
appeals, for which service he la en
titled to 35 cents per printed page.
Sometimes these records-, run as hluh
as 1000 pages, seldom less than 800. Ks.
tlmating that ao appeals are taken pur
year the exact figures in the tem
porary absence from the city of Clerk
A. M. Cannon not being available -and
the supervision charges estimated .at
$10 each, this , item alone amounts to
$8000, which- is in addition to the legal
salary allowance. , - s f
, Has Other Xnoome. '
The clerk of fhe court, as United
States commissioner, also earned for
the year' emllng June 80, $9(2.65. ' In
naturalisation Cases, for which the clerk
also receives extra . Compensation.- he
earned. $280.;.,':"; :v.vy;, i , !;;. (;..;
; By simple ' adaition.. ' therefore, thin
official earned, in the rough, . $ 11,000
for that year's period. This is nearly
as much aa the combined salary of the
two Judges of the federal court here:
one third more than the- salary of 'th
Unlted i Btaie. senators; s more- than
twice as much as the salary of Ooviv
nor; ,Wst. The judges .. receive $8000
per year each; the senators, $7500; the
governor, $5000. ; w r? y,,- f ,--.
Because the costs in .this district are
double what they are in many other
states, the man Who goes to court to
secure justice or the establishment of
hi civil rights, bears ' the 'double bur
den out of which this enormous salary
IS paid. . ' i l'.'.- ',. 4 ;-i",.

to Activities of the Labor Agitators, y
By Fred Lockley.
Marshfield. Or.. July 28. It is an
unusual story I have to tell.
It relates to a baslo and fundamental
queatlon which society must meet and
settle. .
- It has to do with the right of free
speech, liberty of conscience and liberty
of action. It involves society's right
to protect Itself.
The story has to do with the deporta
tion of Dr. Bally Kay Leach from Coos
county. .
The story Is worth the telling and It
Is worth your reading and you who read
It must serve as the jury and bring In
your verdict according to the facts.
It is our pride .and boast In thla coun
try that the sober Judgment of all. the
people prevails in the long run. But
before you can render a Juat verdict you
must have the facts, the plain unadorned
truth and In thla article I will en
deavor to give the evidence in the case
as fully, as fairly and aa accurately aa
I am able to do so.
On Friday. July 11. Dr. Bailey Kay
Leach of Bandon. Coos county, Oregon,
editor of a weekly publication called
