SOMETHING LIKE A BORGIA
Mrs. Kate Barnes on Trial in San
BernardinO
Accused of Trying to Poison Her Husband.
The Latter Now Her Ardent
Defender

SAN BERNARDINO, June 1.-The
trial of Mrs. Kate Barnes for attempting
to slowly poison her husband was COM
menced in the superior court thlsmorning.
The story OF the Barnes case is well
known to most people. and il will prob
ably occasion no little surprise that the
celebrated case is really to be brought to
trial. 1t will certainly present some Of
the most remarkable features OF any case
ever tried in any court, and the verdict
of the jury will be awaited with interest
by people in no way connected with the
case.
Mrs. Barnes and Tom Salter were
arrested Sunday night. November 4th,
S. W. Barnes by administering arsenic to
him in small quantities, mixed with his
food, diluting his medicine with the
deadly poison. and thus lntlicting upon
him almost living death.
But it was case full OF sensations. On
the night of December 18th Salter was
found dead in his cell in the Jail. The
jury found verdict OF suicide, which
was quite in keeping with the remarkable
case.
But not the least interesting feature in
the case is the fact that Barnes has en-
tirely forgiven his wife and taken her
home declared hisSbelief that she is Grim
inally guilty of nothing by reason of
which he suffered so much, and is now
spending money to hire attorneys and
secure evidence to effect her acquittal.
When the case was called this morning
jury was secured before the day was
ended, and $. W. Barnes. the injured
husband, placed upon the stand. He at
Onco declined to testify, and even the
fbraaf nf tipa and p,r rri enn nr11a n had n n
effect upon him. Finally at his wife s
request, he consented to testify, but at
almost the first question AN objection
came from Byron Waters. representing
Mr.. Barnes. and the court ruled that the
relations which may have EXISTED be-
tween Salter and Mrs. Barnes were not
material to the charge of poisoning. This
rather disarranged the case for the pros
ecution and an adjournment was taken
until tomorrow.

PASA DENA, June THE election OF
school trustee TO succeed +. d. Boyn.
ton took place today, and instead of there
being but one candidate and no contest
at all, as was expected until a day or two
ago, today has witnessed an unusually
lively contest, which brought out a much
larger vote than was anticipated. Dr. c.
B. Thomas has been before the people as
not seeking the place. but wiling to ac-
cept it if elected, for some time past, but
the second candidate. Il. Il. Walker, was
not announced until two days ago, since
which time, and particularly today, it
has become very evident that he is the
A. p. A. candidate. The members of that
organization have been very active in his
behalf and early in the afternoon every
thing pointed to his election by large
majority.
Dir. Thomas friends we're also very
Jealous in his support, and all day long
the streets have been lively with vehicles
carrying voters to the polls at the Wilson
school. while on every corner groups of
men have discussed the election and the
chances OF either candidate.
That there can be no religious question
involved IN the contest is shown by the
fact that both candidates are officers in
Protestant churches, but the Prohibition
lists took hand and exerted their in
fluene; for Mr.. Walker, number OF lady
prohib tionists doing some active cleo
tioneering for their candidate.
The result of the count, completed
about 7:30 p. m. was as follows: Walker,
SO; Thomas, 426; Boynton, |.
This is the largest vote ever polled ut q
school election, the ordinary vote being
about 200 or 300. The vote for Mr.. Boyn-
ton was evidently mplimentary, as he
declined the office.

lives of girls are carefully guarded and
protected from even the appearance OF
evil. while boys are excused for what

Too many women needlessly suffer
from nervous troubles, not only in the
cities but everywhere.
Their whole world too frequently lies
inside the four walls OF their homes.
Think OF the many persons, men as
well as women, who spend most of their
lives barricaded within the narrow con-
fines of their dwellings. Summer finds
them pale and tired out. Their store OF
nervous vitality has been slowly brought
down by vitiated air and sedentary life.
Their whole system needs a thorough re-
plenshing. The nerves want nourish-
ment. the tissues are not half supplied
