SACRAMENTO, October 18th.
Emil p WetSei. Lincoln, CAL: You
state that you have resided in Lincoln for
four years; that you have been on busi-
ness and pleasure trip to Oregon and
Washington Tor ten weeks and returned
October 3lst. If you went out of the State
for temporary purposes merely, with the
intention of returning, you have not lost
your residence at Lincoln. (Section 1893
Political Code, Subdivision l.
Ii you removed to another State with
the intention of remaining there an in
definite time, and as a place of present
residence, you would have lost your resi-
dence.
The mere absence from ones precinct
within thirty days prior to the election, if
such absence is temporary, does not de-
prive one of the right to vote. Removal
is what deprives one of the right to vote.
Respectfully, w. II. LAWSON,
First Deputy Attorney General.

Any number of them. In several
States it is being done as to the Electoral
ticket, as notably in Nebraska. Colorado,
Oregon and other States. That is. the
Democrats divide the Electors or with
draw their own. The Peoples party in
turn votes for Democratic legislators
where there is to be an election for United
States Senator, or else their nominees
for State Senator agree to support the
Democratic nominee. In turn the DEM
ocrats vote for certain agreed Peoples
party candidates. In California this trade
is going on, and Democratic candidates are
getting out of the way in favor of PEOPLES
party candidates. No one with an ounce
OF brains will believe that this is done for
love of the Peoples party on the one

A WEAk-MlNDED GIRL,
In Illinois Taken From Friends by Two
SCoundrels.

In Illinois Taken From Friends by Two
Scoundrels.
LEWISTON H., March 1.-The great
est excitement prevails in this vicinity
over a terrible outrage perpetrated upon
pauper girl named Lizzie Powers.
Supervisor A. j. Horton was summoned
to Woodland to investigate the girls
condition. He found her alone in a
miserable hut suffering from convul-
sions. She is a mental and physical
wreck
The facts connected with the affair
are as follows: Last fall Zeke Grissom
and his brother of this township visited
their parents, who are paupers in the
Rushville Jail. On leaving there they
enticed Lizzie, a simple, silly, helpless
girl and pauper, to go with them under
promise of one of them that he would
marry her. The trio walked to Sugar
Creek that night and stayed several days
with brother-in-law of the boys. Then
they rented an old shanty from old Mr..
Noles and moved in. Zeke Grissom gave
out the impression to the neighbors that
oho SHi was LIS "ii0' o"U 'io pooi 0io"
ture says they were never married. She
says she has been prisoner in the hovel
for several months, and that Grissom
and his brother have assaulted her at
their pleasure. She is nearly maniac.
The men deserted her about week
ago and she has been in the cabin alone
until today. Men are on the track of
the villains, and if caught they will be
lynched.

arrested by Officers Harry Crowder
and j. w. Brightwell and brought
before ihe justice, where he read over
the warrant and verdict carefully and
remarked that he was able to give
bond whether $4,000 or 100000
AS we go to press Mr.. Domnau is in
consultation with his attorneys, Messrs
Baker & Plendergast, and it is suppos-
ed he will make bond either for his
appearance at the next term of the
district cosrt or pending examining
trial.
The State was represented by Major
Charles B. Pc. in conducting the
inquest. and it is said that while the
evidence is voluninous and sufficient
upon which to base the charge it is
not of a very damaging character.
