the firm of Pixley & Mcconnell, of
Carson, stock brokers, has been com
planning of being unwell. and a few
DAYS since he called upon DIR. David
son. who asked him to describe how
his illness affected him. Upon his
doing SO. the Doctor informed him
that il was his opinion that he WAS af-
fiicted with u tape worm. Bob didn't
think he was troubled with anything
of tie sort; hut concluded that "a long
as he had consulted with a physician
he would let him prescribe for him.
So the dotor gave him " such q dose !"
as he never had before, and so the re-
suit was the passage from him yestcr
day morning of u tape worm over eigh-
teen feet long.

WINNEMUCCA, April 20.
The long and tedious trial Of j. w.
Rover, the murderer, has at last been
brought to a close. For fourteen days
the jury has been confined to the

defense were ably represented. The
jury being instructed by the Court at
1880 O'Clock p. NJ. retired, and after am
absence of an hour and a half returned
a verdict of guilty of murder in the first
degree. The courtroom was packed
with spectators, and the universal
opinion is that the verdict is correct.
Notwithstanding this second convic-
ton of the murderer, his counsel APP

Lavias Fillmore.

nary 20, at the residence of his
son, near this city, departed this life La.
Was Fillmore, aged eighty.three years
and eleven months.
Mr.. Fillmore was born at Norwich,
Conn, April 0, 1892, and removed with
his fathers family when he was about
twelve years old to Bennington, VT, in
the vicinity of which place large por.
ton Of his life was spent. AT the age Of
nineteen he began business for himself as
n bookseller and bookbinder, and for
eight years did large and lucrative
business, His health failing him at this
time he went to Georgia, where he On.
gagged in the prevailing cotton specua.
ton, with various degrees of success, for
about seven years. While in Georgia he
formed the acquaintance of Lowell Ma
son, the noted musical composer. at that
time only common singing teacher, and
often assisted Mr.. Mason in mis- business,
he, Mr. Fillmore being fine singer and
a natural musician-playing with ease
upon any instrument. AT the time
General Lafayette made his tour of the
United States Mr.. Fillmore was in Au.
gusta, Georgia, where Lafayette was re.
ceived with the usual honors. The
Knights Templar of that place had elect.
ed Lafayette an honorary member Of
their commandery, and Mr.. Fillmore was
present at the signing Of the bylaws by
Lafayette, making pen from quill fol
him to use. The knife and quill are still
in the possession Of Mr.. Fillmore's fam
lily. About 1926 Mr.. Fillmore returned
to Vermont, where he for several year.
conducted a country store, and while en-
deavoring to save cargo Of salt from al
overflow Of the river, he took a cole
which resulted in permanent deafness.
Shortly after he became OF ago Mr.
Fillmore joinsd the masonic order, ant
for many years he was an authority upor
all points of masonic jurisprudence. Ii
latter years he was often consulted by tn,
lecturers of that order upon disputed
questions regarding the secret work, hi
memory being perfect and to be rclieC

cured work in the scale shops. His sus-
picions fell upon Frenchman named
Pacquette, who had been in the employ
Of the company for some five years, q
quiet fellow, who was Industrious. and
had saved several thousand dollars of his
earnings. The detective procured Of
States Attorney NJ. g. Everts warrant

detective and officer Co.'S, who found IN
his trunk two pieces of paper which just
fitted the paper upon which the warnings
wsre written. Thereupon Pacquette was
arrested aud brought before Justice
