down to business and considerable

DARLING FoUND GUuTY

The case of E. z. Darling, indicted
for extortion, was heard yesterday
morning. z. t. HulonisSi put on OAR
ling himself as the only witness for
the defense. The prosecution put on
Sheriff Wright, who testified to the er-
forts made by Darling to have Sher1-
dan arrested on the charge of adultery.
James Callahan testified that Sheridan
had told him of the threats made by
Darling, and Callahan had taken it
upon himself to go to Darling and ap-
peal to him. Darling had offered to
hush up for $50, and had frequently
approached him to urge a settlement.
Finally $40 was agreed upon, and they
had met in a room where Darling had
signed the contract, heretofore pub
lished in The Herald, whereby he
agreed to withdraw from "a certain
suit against Sheridan" Five dollars
had been paid Darling in cash and
Sheridan had paid him $50 by check
Sheridan substantiated this evidence,
and Detective Pender told of arrest1ng
Darling just after his coming out from
signing the contract. The check was
never found. The contract was iden-
tilted by both Callahan and Sheridan.
Fender said he had known Darling as
Oot iLItS IOI dDOuI SlA y CetI Is eilAu pC4Ol z
that he had known him as w. H. Null
Iigan.
Darling's story was that Sheriff
Wright had wormed the story out of
him under promise not to reveal it, but
that as soon as the sheriff was in pos
session of the facts Wright had said:
I'm going down and pull Sheridan's
leg. They all do it"
He admitted that the contract and
its signature was like his writing. but
did not remember writing it. Would
not say he did not write it.
Sheriff Wright was recalled and de-
MED the statement made concerning
him. The testimony of Darling before
the grand jury was put in evidence to
show that in one particular it differed
from that given on the stand.
The jury retired and in seven min
utes were back with verdict of
guilty. Thursday was fixed as time for
sentence. The penalty may be impris-
Onment for any length of time not to
exceed three years.

OUR LIVE STOCK.
Congress VIII Be Asked to Do Some
thing Looking TO the Establish
ment of Reciprocal Relations.

WASHINGTON. Feb. IFS. w. AL
lerton, one Of the principal pork pack
ers OF Chicago, who is now in this city,
says: "At a recent meeting of the re-
representatives. Of the live stock eX-
changes of Omaha, Kansas City, Sioux
City, Buffalo and Pittsburg it was de-
termined to petition congress in regard
to the establishment of reciprocal
relations with foreign countries so
that out cattle and hogs could be sold
to advantage Communications were
addressed to the members of the ways
and means committee and a hearing
has been accorded the representatives
of the national live stock exchange.
We shall go before the subcommittee
on reciprocity of which Congressman
Hopkins, of Illinois, is chairman, and
state our case and urge prompt action
by congress at this session.
1T is all we'll enough to talk about
a restoration of the tariff, but no re-
lief from such a source can be OBJ
tanned inside of six months. On the
other hand, if we can renew our former
relations with Germany, Belgium,
Switzerland and other European coun-
tries so that our cattle may be sold
there, the benefits will be instantan-
eous. This point will be impressed
upon the ways and means committee
and do not see how this body can fail
to act promptly upon matter which
Is so vital to the interests of the
United States.
"In addition to the members of the
various live stock exchanges who will
appear before that committee, we shall
be reinforced by President Doud, of
the Live Stock Bank of Chicago, who
will furnish irrefutable facts and
figures for the information of our in
ternational law makers
