CAPTAIN GARRETT'S SIDE,
The Defense Doing What They Car
20 Make q Case.

70 Make = Case.
Yesterday, In Judge Chensy's court,
Captain F. M. Garrett had his innings in
trying to defend himself from the charge
of incest preferred against him by his
daughter Malta, now known as Mrs.
Edgcomb. The prosecution had said on
Saturday afternoon, "Your Honor, that
is our case"
Yesterday the defense started in with
testimony to show Gsrrett's general good
reputation. L. N. Breed, Of the Southern
California National Bank, and at one
time member of the City Council, was
the first witness. He said he had known
Garrett for some time, and had never
heard his reputation in any way called
into question.
Then Nettie Keyes, now Nettie Burns,
was called for the defense. She had
been put on for the prosecution on Sat-
urdsy, thereby causing sensation, as
she came here from Ventura under
subpoena from the defense. w. T.
Williams put two letters in her hand
which she identified. One was addressed
to Williams himself and the other to
Garrett. The one addressed to Garrett
told him not to cali her as a witness
in a previous trial, for the reason that
whatever she knew would be detrimental
TO hin. This is the letter in which she
recalled the breakfast-table episode,
when Garrett told Malta in an alteration
they had that she had better look to her
past life, whereupon Malta flashed up
and said: ''You bad better look to your
own past lifep' Then Garrett jumped
from the table in great excitement and
seizing knife told his daughter ii she
made any more such references he would
cut her throat from ear to ear. Williams
then called Mrs. Burns attention to the
threatening letter written to Mrs. David
son, but torn to shreds, and thrown out
side Williams Office window, and
afterwards picked up and pasted
together. He asked the witness
how this came to be written and
1 she testified that she wrote it at the die
! tation of Josie Corbett. This young
! woman last week stated that she could
: not say in whose handwriting the
paper was, that in some respects it was
like CARROTS, and in others like Nettie's.
MIR. Williams then took the witness
back to the letters written to Garrett
and himself to show that they were
written prior to the date Of her being
subpenaed in the present case. This
was manifestly to break the force of Sat.
urday's surprise in putting this witness
on for the prosecution.
The letters in question were written in
November. A subpoena was produced

ACorrect Statement.

ArHRoP, CAL, August 16.-The follow
ing facts we're submitted to Justice Field
and declared by him to be correct state
ment of the circumstances that lead up to
to the shooting: During Judge Terry's
confinement in the county jail he threatened,
upon his release, to take the lives of Judge
Fields and Sawyer. Prior to the contempt
of court for which he was in prison, Mrs
Terry, in his presence had made an assault
on Judge Sawyer in a Pullman car. 1t is
believed, had Judge Sawyer resis ed the in
suit. Terry would have killed him. Terry's
threats were SO publicly made that they
reached he ears of Justice Field colleagues
on the supreme bench and were made
known to thu department of Justice in
Washington, whereupon Mr.. Miller, at
torney general of the United States, head
OF the department of Justice, and as the
superior officer of On ted States Marshal
Franks. ordered the latter to take whatever
measures were necessary to protect the Ger
sons of Justice Field and Judge Sawyer
from assault by Judge Terry. On his arrl-
val in California to ho'd court in this part
of his circuit, Justice Field OBJ 'ected to be-
ing put under the protection of the marshal's
officer. Notwithstanding his objection to
protection, the marshal declared himself
subject to the order of his SUPERIOR officer.

Privacy For Wire Correspondence.
KANSAS CRY, August 20.-The Hatch
lock, an invention OF A. A. Hatch, of this
city, formerly telegraph operator with the
Western Union Telegraph company, has
been patented and a company with $780,
600 stock has been formed in Kansas City
and New York to place the patent. The inven-
ton is an apparatus to be used in telegraphy
by means of which all connection with tele-
graph wire can be cut off at all intermediate
points between the sender and receiver.
The patent is equally applicable to tele-
phone wires and their connections. The
invention has been in use on the st. Louis,
Fort Scott Il Memphis railroad for some
time and has worked successfully. test
was made a week ago before the New York
members of the company in New York, and
representatives from many different rail-
roads and telegraph companies. all of whom
pronounce it an unqualified success. The
experts pronounce it one of the most
important inventions in telegraphy since
the time of Morse. The secretary of war
was SO well impressed with the invention
that he rushed the papers through the patent
Office SO that the government might avail
itself of it and secure secrecy in ITS tele-
graphic correspondence.

ATcmsos, KAN, August 19-For many
years there has been a dispute between the
authorities of Kansas and Missouri counties
bordering on the Missouri river as to the
boundary line.
When Missouri was admitted to the union
its west line was q north and south line from
the north line of Arkansas to the south line
of Iowa.
Later the state of Missouri by the agency
of the United States government bought all
that territory lying between the original line
and the river from the Platte Indians.
The west boundary of the Platte district
by original treaty with the Platte Indians
extended to low water mark on the east side
of the Missouri river.
When Kansas was admitted the line of the
state was fixed on the west line of the state
OF Missouri. The circuit court of Holt county,
Missouri, has decided that the boundary
line of Missouri only extends to low water
mark.

STOCK AND FARM.

Olcott Press: The proposition by
our farmers surrounding Olcott to fur
nish 10000 bushels of corn at Is cents
per bushel to a cattleman who will bring
in thousand head of cattle is meeting
with favor pretty generally. The prop
osition is this: Each farmer agrees to
give say $50 to 500 bushels of corn un.
til 10000 bushels are contributed.
which will bring the feeder in and in.
sure us home market for the balance
in the field.
Larned Eagle-Optic: Reliable infor.
nation from Walnut township assures
us that the wheat crop in that section
of the county is the largest ever har-
vested. Mr.. Fox, who is doing the
threshing out there, reports an average
yield of thirty bushels to the acre-sev-
eral pieces have turned out thirty-five
and he says he will have threshing
enough in his own immediate neighbor-
hood to keep him busy until the middle
of November.
Ports Patriot: w. A. Waybill, six
miles north of this city, and another
young farmer raised about ninety acres
of fax this year which promises good
yield. Flax brings from 80 cents to
81 per bushel on the market, and it
takes but very little figuring to show
that they will make pretty good thing
out of their crop, as it is estimated that
it viii 60 at least 12a bushels per acre,
and that the cost of caring for the crop
is not so great as that connected with
a wheat crop. We have a sample of the
fax on exhibition.
Leroy Reporter: The Odd Fellows
of this city enjoyed the very pleasant
visit from about twenty-five of their
Burlington brethren. They came down
in full force with their well-drilled
"team" and conferred the initiatory de-
gree upon Frank Snodgrass and J. NJ.
Holloway. After the lodge meeting re-
freshments, consisting of ice cream,
cake, pie, and lemonade, were served 10y
the ladies of the Leroy Improvement
society. 1t was fine repast, and the
brethren are all full of praise for the la
dies who prepared and served it in such
fine style. The Burlington Odd Fell
lows lodge is star. It counts among
its members the best citizens of the
town and vicinity, and they are a whole
souled lot of fellows withal, even though

ATLANTA, GA, August 15.-The scene in
Atlanta was never before witnessed in the
city. For over two hours the streets were in
possession of mob, and the strange part of
it is that the mob was composed of the best
citizens of the city, prominent among them
being dozens of members of the legislature,
one state senator carrying around on his
shoulder Winchester rifle. The trouble
grew out of the burning of General Lewis,
the postmaster, in effigy by the whites sew
eral nights ago. As the appointment of q
negro was the cause it incensed the the ne
gFoes terribly. This feeling was intensi-
fed by the killing of negro by police
ces. The coroner's investigation of this
last ofense was going on in Towards un-
dertaking shop. while in a building opposite
the colored Odd Fellows we're in session.
The presence together of SO many negroes
and the determination expressed by some
of them that they would burn Mr.. Lyons
and his daughter in effigy, had the effect of
on the hardware stores for the purchase of
pistols, guns, etc. One establishment sold
200 pistols. Night found the crowds on the
streets armed to the teeth and only await
ing provocation to begin the attack. A
company of fifty armed white men with
Winchestcrs paraded the colored ward. The
Atlanta artillery were put under orders for
trouble, and the police were kept we'll
in hand. At about o'clock committee of
prominent negroes called upon Governor
Gordon and asked for protection. The
governor at once proceeded to the corner
of Broad and Marietta streets, where the
whites were gathered, and made a ringing
speech, calling on them to observe the law
and not stain the escutcheon of the state by
riot of which they would ever after be
ashamed. He also spoke to the colored
people, and pledged himself to see that they
were protected. Slowly the crowds melted
away, leaving, however, with better feeling.
If the attempt had been made to burn Miss
Lyons in effigy there would have been a
slaughter of the blacks.
