An INTERESTING MURDER TRItI
killing of Il Son-in-Luw by an Aged
Man.

Boise. Idaho. May 19-An interes ting
murder case is on trial at WeiSer this
week. The defendant is an old man named
T. +. Curtis. On August - last he shot
and killed his son-n-law. Edward RI.
Stone, near Meadows. 1t was given out
that the shooting was in self defense. The
men had had trouble and Stone was ac-
cGsed of having acted in such a manner
toward his wife that the public Was very
ienient toward Curtis, when the latter
stated that he had met his son-in- law on
the trail and killed him. The body was
found and Curtis was at once suspected
lie was found soon at a neighborS mouse
and promptly admitted the killing. with
the explanation that he was forced to
shoot to save his own life. However. he
Was held for murder. and the evidence now
being introduced makes it look hard for
him. 1t is shown that Stone had had his
pistol buttoned up under his overalls. so
tnat he could not have made a demonStrd-
ton with it. The evidence for the state
further tends to demonstrate that Curtis
lay in wait in spring house and fired
through a hole in the roof that he had
made for the purpose.

sise, are still living. Isabella is the motor
ious woman whose intrigues and amours
brought the Spanish court to the lowest
ebb. At one time no self-respecting Wo-
man would be seen at the palace. NJ ost
Of ISabela'S life is now spent amid The
gayest surroundings of Partisan life. The

deal of attention from the American peo-
pie. His other aunts are Isabella and

sisters, Maria de las Mercedes and Maria
Theresa. His mothers conduct has been
such as TO restore the court to its former
tleCency, and her administration of the
regency has been marked with consitlera-
bile ability. Those who hope great things
ftam the king rejoice that his education
is in the hands Of so capable a mother.

tised in the Roman Catholic faith, which
Is the dominant religion of the kingdom.
