Historical Relic Sold mt Auction In Lon
don Recently.
A curious historical relic was sold
by auction recently in London. 1t
is the large tankard Of solid silver pre-
scnted by King Charles IL. to Sir Ed
mund Gerry Godfrey for his valuable
services during the plague and the
fire of London, for which he received
the honor of linighthood in 1866. The
tankard, which is of plain silver, has
q hinged cover and weighs nearly 36
ounces. Its front is engraved with
the royal arms and the crest Of the
recipient, together with inscriptions
in Latin and engravings of scenes con-
nected with the fire, which are still in
excellent preservation. The engrav-
ing of the pest house men carrying
corpses to the dismal plague pit, and
that of the crowded blocks of houses,
surmounted by flames, are very quaint
and curious. Sir Edmund, who was
born in 1921 at Sellinge, in Kent, was
timber merchant possessing wharves
at Dowgate City and at Charing Cross.
He prospered, became justice of the
peace for Westminster, and member Of
parliament for Winchilsea. In history,
as no reader of Macaulay and Green
need be told, his name is most famous
in connection with his mysterious muir
der. which was popularity attributed to
the zeal with which he had devoted
himself to uhraveling the alleged pop
ish plot. His body was found in
Itch near Primrose hin, face down
ward, and penetrated by his own sword,
under circumstances which precluded
the idea of suicide or robbery. The ex-
citement caused by this still mysteri-
ous event is indicated by the fact that
when the funeral procession left the
city with great pomp and pageant for
the burial ground of st. Martin's-in-
the-Fields, it was preceded by 70 clergy
and followed by upwards of 1000 per-
sons of distinction n.--Boston Herald.

enough humanity in him to send this
note; he knew quite well that he did 1t
at the risk of his neck, and it's the first
decent thing ever knew one of them to
do"
Ringbrand looked at his watch. II
think we'd better be taking our places,
gentlemen" he said. "They set no time,
but we had best be ready for them"
Henry extinguished the light, and the
four men filed noiselessly out of the
house to their several stations. The
colonel and Henry, armed with repeat
ing rifles and provided with buckets
OF water for use in case the fire spread
too rapidly, concealed themselves In
the shrubbery to the right and left Of
the small clump of laurel-bushes; Lud-
low went down the avenue and
crouched in the black shadow Of low
branched pine; and Ringbrand, armed
only with the revolver which had been
his companion in the cavern, took his
stand against the trunk of great oak,
whose spreading limbs overshadowed
the ambush selected by the mountain
GERS.
Up to the moment when the compile
| ton of the arrangements for the cap
ture of the conspirators had begun to
cancel the factor of excitement, Ring
brand had not reflected upon the pc
culiarly trying nature of the test he
had proposed for himself. When the
plan had suggested itself, he had wei
coined it gladly, hurrying forward Il
it's elimination with the eager impa
tience of one who imagines he sees tn,
turning-point of his life in the perspec
tive and runs impetuously to double IT

PIPER FOUND GUILTY.
THE JURY AGREE ON THE
FOURTH BALLOT.
Recommended to the Mercy Of
the Court

The case Of Henry Piper charged
with taking bullion from the Mint
was called in the L. s. Court yester-
day, Judge Murphy appearing or the
defendant.
1t was not hard to secure jurors and
they were all in the box by noon.
When the name Of James Benton was
called there was 40 response and an
officer Of the court was sem out t.
sconr the earth for the missing man
He was finally found in front Of the
Wells Fargo office selling a Columbia
bicycle. The officer allowed him to
complete the sale and brought him in.
He explained to the Court that he was
Sc busy that he forgot all about the
matter. The Court Informed him that
in order to refresh his memory in flu
ture he would fine him the cost of the
officers trip t. his place of business.
Mr.. Benton made a rapid calculation
in his mind and seeing that the fine
was than made up by his com
mission on the sale, bowed smiIingly
to the Court and VS. excused.
The principal fight was over Will
Elliot who was on the Jones Jury and
voted mot guilty" The prosecution
did not want him and the defense was
hungry for him. There was a great
deal of questioning on both sides. but
Elliot swore that he could try the case
without prejudice and render a true
verdict and was retained. The prose
cution had exhausted its preemptOry
challenges before Elliot was reached.
Wilcox, Whitcomb and Lawson how
ever were kept off by the prosecution.
They were all in the Jones case and
voted mot guilty"
At half past eleven the jury was
complete and the Indictment was read.
1t charged Henry Piper with having
stolen crude bullion from the mint
valued at $50, IN the 5th of January,
1898.
The court then took a recess. The
jury vas not locked up. District At
torney MCGOWAN is associated with
Jones on The prosecution.
Recess until l 80.
AFTER RECESS.
The prosecution outlined its case by
stating that it expected to prove that
on or about June 5th, 1898, the defend
ant was employed in the Carson mint,
as a helper in the deposit melting
room. That on that day there was re-
ceived a deposit of amalgam on which
an unusual loss occurred. That on
that day the defendants lunch bucket
was deposited in a small cupboard,
and one Of the employees on lifting the
bucket found it very heavy. He called
another employee and on removing
the cover of the bucket found it con-
tanned amalgam. They then watched
to see if Piper took the bucket away.
Soon after he came into the room and
taking the bucket out dumped the
contents into the elevator shaft.
The chief clerk called on him to stop
but he refused, and when he had
dumped the amalgam into the shaft
he ran down to the basement where
the bottom of the shaft was located.
The parties who followed him searched
for the amalgam, but only found a
few pieces.

ness He was chief clerk at the time

To celebrate the fourth means to
entertain u own people and induce
many others to come to Miller.
Aside from the patriotic observance
of the glorious, it is worth while to
keep the town lively, bring in GUS
toners for merchants, hotels, restau-
rants, ETC., which money eventually
circulares among all classes of bust
ness in the town, ever to mechanics
and laborers. From every point of
view it is advantageous both to the
town and people who come here to
celebrat and trade, to seek recrea-
ton, to break the monotony ofevery
day work. And these people are
mostly regular prtrons of the town
hence entitled to occasional enter
tainment by the town. But Athese
things are patent to any thoughtful
man. 1t takes a little united effort
and some money to keep a town 60
ing. The man who assumes his
share of these things is a good citi-
zen, a benefit to his town. And the
PRESS is pleased to again compli-
ment the citizens of Miller for their
enterprise in such matters. The
present for a celebration has met
with warm encouragement and sub
stantial aid.

citizens for their generous aid.
