killing at Royal City.

Jackrabbit, or more properly speaking,
Royal City, is becoming notorious for the
size of its community on account Of its
murderous proclivities. Today we have
to record rather brutal killing of an
Italian named Luigi Clara by Fred
Scheivele on the night of the Fourth.
From what we are able to gather from
the meagre facts connected with the case,
it appears that those left in the camp
were having celebration to themselves,
and in the evening were well under the
influence of intoxicants. Scheivele has
partner who cabins with him, and it
seems that he was being annoyed by
several parties, and they were ordered
out by Scheivele. What transpired
afterwards is not at present known, but
next morning at 10 o'clock Clara was
found near Mr.. Williams house lying on
the ground in senseless condition, and
died two hours afterwards. The body
was brought into Phoebe the same even
ing, and Coroner Gelabest Immediately
summoned q jury. After an investiga'
ton they adjourned until the following
morning. DR.. Crowder made post
norton examination Of the body and
gave evidence as to the cause of death,
when the jury returned verdict that
the deceased came to his death by being
beaten with revolver at the hands
of Scheivsle, There appears to be an
unusual amount Of mystery pon.
nected with the affair. Scheivele
was on his way in to give himself up
when met by Sheriff Turner, and while
on the way informed the sheriff he was
the guilty party. The case will come
up before the grand jury this term Of
court, when the facts Of the matter may
be looked for.

The prize fight on the evening of
the Fourth of July between George
Glow and Mike Needham was everything
our local sports could wish. About $50
persons were present at Browns Hall to
witness tie contest, with Charles Price
as referee Both men were in fine con-
dition and presenteda splendid anatomy.
There were seve al minor mt. sts, and
when time was called for the principal
fight the men entered the ring both con-
fident of success. Three rounds were
fought, when the fight was decided in
favor of Needham on foul. From the
first it was game, plucky fight, with
out the least shadow of a fake, though
many were under the impression it
would be a hippodrome Neither of the
men were much punished, though few
bruises on each showed they meant
business. There is rumor around town
that the men will come together again
in fight to finish for $500 each. If
such is consummated we may expect to
see mill of no small magnitude. Glow
has already put up his forfeit.

District Court.

A short sitting of the District Court
ended this evening. Judge Talbot con.
vened Court Tuesday morning and en-
panelled grand jury to dispose of the
criminal business which has accumulated.
The grand jury was composed of the fol.
lowing: Alex. Veitch, foreman. James
Nesbitt, Joseph Cook, David Borland,
M. L. Lee, +. G. Godbe, Yves. Williams,
John Roeder, II. Goodrich, John Shier,
H. Eilers, Dan Rice, Joseph Eisenmann,
L. Willet, w. I. Rich, G. B. Van Enron
and A. s. Thompson.
An indictment for the murder of the
coal burner, Griffith In the mountains
last May, was found against Thomas
Hicks and w. r. Fontaip both of whom
are in Jail, and who will be held without
bail, the trial of the case being set for
next October, when the regular sitting Of
the District Court occurs. The case
against Fred Billows for assault with a
deadly weapon, coming from Panaca,
was remanded for work to the Justices
court the facts seeming in the opinion of
the jurors to constitute grave case of
assault and battery.
The investigation of the killing Of the
Italian Clara at Royal City on the fourth
inst. occupied some time. All parties
supposed to knew anything of the affair
we're brought in, but nothing definite
could be got at, though much looked sus.
picious and it all ended in finding Of no
bill. Clara's skull was fractured from a
blow given in drunken row by Shieble
who claimed to be defending his cabin
partner from an attack by Clara and one
Pete Pardola, both Of whom were drunk.
The jury made final repoart at five
o'clock this evening and were discharged.
On calling court on Tuesday, John
Shier, NJ. L. Lee, w. T. Rich and Dan
Rice summoned as grand jurors, for being
thirty minutes late were each fined 81
On disoharging the body however, for
good conduct perhaps, Judge Talbot re.
mitted the fine in each case, but the
effect may not be lost on delinquents
hereafter.
The business eff the sitting being con
cluded Judge Talbot will leave for home
in the morning.

THE FOUaTn,s OBSERVANCE.


The process ion on the Fourth was one
to be long remembered and its like is
universally admitted to have been the
finest seen in town. The fire companies
turned out in full costume. Their neat
uniforms and general appearance were
very attractive. The cars Of the God
desses and the States were one mass of
designations, Miss Minnie Carmen as
Goddess Of Liberty was attired In rich
cream colored dress orpamented with
golden stars, and wore an artistic crown
with gilt material. Miss Matte Sawyer,
as Goddess of Night, wore an elegant
dress Of black deliberately trimmed with
golden stars, The crown was beauti-
fully arranged, representing the sun in
the descendant and the moon in the
ascendant. Miss Ella Denton, in the
role Of Goddess of Morning, had on a
white dress profusely springled with
silver stars and wore silver crown with
appropriate emblems. The character Of
Uncle Sam was assumed by II. Il. Freu-
denthal, and was admirably carried out,
creating much amusement.
The wives of the noble rods took O
prominent part and appeared TO appre.
ciate the honor Of the occasion oven
more than the spectators. The band
during the march played appropriate
pieces. The exercises were held in
Browns hall, which was crowded with
people.

HANNIBAL HAMLIN DEAD.

At Bangor, Me-, on Independence

ratine Club rooms, where he was play

A gentleman Remarked: "The Senator
seems TO feel badly"
Mr. Hamin said: II do "
The men gathered around him, and he
was taken to lounge. DR. Robinson,
who was in the next room, attended
him, and Drs Mason and Phillips were
called. No pulse was visible for al
hour, and il was thought they could moi
bring him out.
Finally he revived somewhat and man.
aged to articu ate freely. The doctors
worked over him faithfully. and his fam.
fly was sent for. Soon Mrs. Hamlin,
Gen. Charles Ha.min, his wife and his
son, and other members, were at his
side. All was done for him in human
power, but failed. and he pa sed away
peacefully. He leaves widow and two
sons, Gen. Charles Hamlin, ESQ.,, law

now living IN Chicago Mr.. Hamln has
been perceptibly failing for year, but
seemed about as usual this afternoon
and walked down town.
The remains were removed from the
club rooms to his residence. His son,
Hannibal Hamlin, arrived from ELS
worth about twenty minutes after his
fathers death. His son Frank, in Chi.
caQo, was sent for.
Hannibal Hamlin was born at Paris,
Me. Aug. %, 1899. He was admitted TO
the bar in 1888, and continued to prac.
tiCe until ls4S. In 1886 he was elected

But Healthy and Sound business I'm
provements Are at Hand.
-R. G. Dun & CO. weekly review of
trade says:
The unusual conservatism which pre-
walls In nearly all sections and branches of
business impresses many as a most dis
heartening symptom. But IL may, with at
least equal reason, be interpreted as the
very best ground for confidence In healthy
and solid improvement when new and large
crops come forward more freely. The alb
sence OF speculative excitement. the indis-
position to buy in haste, are having IA most
wholesome influence. This conservative
attitude is the more necessary this year
because, while money is now abundant
here and cheap on call, the possibility of
disturbance abroad. or OF difficulty in OBJ
tanning needed supplies for moving
crops at the West, Is not yet entirely
removed. Crop reports have never been
more full than they are this year, and they
grow more clearly satisfactory Us TO spring
wheat every day, improving also as To
other grain and cotton. At Chicago and
other Northern points generally the supply
OF money is ample, though In the West
Southern points the markets are close as a
rule, though only firm and I'm fair supply at
New Orleans. The business failures through
out the country during the last seven days
number PAT, as compared with "a total OF
23s last week. For the corresponding week
of last year the figures were 1877.

So far as preventing publicity in the
press is concerned, the law seems TO be
a failure. Perhaps it would be more
exact TO say that those who are charged
with the execution OF the law talk too
much. -Indhrndpolts Journal.
Those eectrocutions in New York ap-
pear to have been entirely successful in
removing from this life the four con-
dcmned murderers. Electrocution is
probably more merciful than hanging -

If we must have capital punishment
it is possible the new method is prefera-
bic to the old, but the people are en-
titled to know whether that is so or not,
ana they never could know II the press

DDS of cXecutiOn.-Detroit Free Press
On the whole. there is every reason for
the opinion that electrical execution Of
crimina is q distinct advance of civili-
Zation. The only respect In which the
new law is a failure is in its attempt
TO prevent the press of the United
States from giving the news with regard
TO that important change. Piusturg
Dispdtch.
Evidently the electrical process Of
killing is more humane than hanging,
although it is barbai Gus enough heaven
knows. Capital punishment is a hideous
and an awful thing, and IL seems safe
prediction that twenty-five years hence
IL will not be racticed in any form by
any people pretending to civilization
indianapolis Sentinel.
1t does not need "a careful reading Of
the official story to convince any one,
that the attempt to regulate by law the
sensatfonaism In reports of executions
is farce, and that the regulation can
not be repealed too soon. Apparently
executions by electricity comply with
all the requirements OF humane law,
but the of cial report must be filed
away with other unsuccessful expert
ments. -IrOU Times.
The oXecut on OF the four murdcrers,
Slocum. Smiler, Wood and Jugiro, which
occurred in Sing Sing Prison, seemed to-
demonstrate the fact that electricity \
furnishes the most humane method of
taking life. The mechanical imperfe :
tons which made the taking off OF
kemmler horror were avoided. and all
witnesses testify that the four men died
quickly and painlessly. -Grdnd Rapids
democrat
1t Is safe to say that In New York at.
least the rope and scaffod will never
more be tho method OF legally putting
condemned mu-derers to death. The
adoption Of electrical execution by other
States will not long be deferred. -CLcUt-
land Plain Dedlc7.
There are differences of opinion as to
the deterrent influences of the death
penalty on evil-docrs. but there is no
room at all for donbt that while this
penalty remains In vogue the electrical
system OF inflicting IL has many and con-
spicuous advantages over all other meth
DDS yet devised. -Sf. Louis Globe DINO
