made him the center Of attraction
among ibis relations and friends, and
all will miss greatly his congenlai
presence. Nearly three months ago
he was caved in upon in one OF the
ciIy's gravel pits, and after four hours
of scratching succeeGed in extricating
himself, tut more dead than alive.
When tree from his perilous position, "a
boy out hunting found him and took
him home, where, with several weeks
OF careful treatment he apparently re-
covered, but recently he took dewn
with sciatlca OF both limbs and with
typhoid fever. He suffered greatly,
hut bore his I'll ctions heroically. He
was rational 20 the last and mis- last
words on earth were most affecting.
He was most lovsble son and brother
and very bright anu quick in his
studies. He was twenty years, one
month anu three days old when he
died. He leaves to mourn his loss,
besides his father and mother, six
brothers, several nieces and nephews
and host OF other relatives.
Funeral services will be held Thurs
day at IL q. IN. at the South Jordan
ward meeting house. Friends invited.

CHICAGO. Jan. 6.-Judge Tuthill's
court, In the criminal court building,
was the scene yesterday morning OF as
dramatic and thrilling nm incident rs
ever graced the footboards of any
theater. The attorney of q prisoner at
the bar, before whom the gates of the
penitentisry yawned, had staked the
fate of his client ON the explosion OF
two revolver cartridges, and the test
which resulted In the name freedom
was conducted amidst the mont breath.
less Interest, not only on the part oil
the prisoner, but also OF the officials OF
the court ana the spectators who
crowded the rooms. There were other
sensational features In the proceed ngs
not the least OF which was the scoring
OF the police by Judge Tuthill for per.
scouting man simply because he had
been unfortunate enough to have
served term In the penltentiary.
Edward Murray. alias Charles Nc.
CURE, was before the court charged
with assault with intent to kill. Late
in October Murray was arrested to.
gether with Michael Shevlin, but, the
police charge, only after a desperate
struggle during which he tried twice
to eho0t Policeman Bulls.
"He placed his gun against my
stomach aud pulled the trigger, u
Bulls testified, "and when 1t failed to
20 of he turned 1t againat my head
and again pulled the trigger, but 4.
did not 10 off,"
Two cartridges with such indenta-
tions, 1t was charged, as would have
been produced by the hammer OF the
revolver striking against them, was
then introduced as evidence together
with other testimony going to show
that Murray was thoroughly bad
man.
Murray declared he Ind made no
effort whatever to shoot Bulls. He
was trying TO throw the revolver away,
he said, TO as to escape the charge oil
carrying concealed weapons. He
carried the pistol simply to protect his
own life, US Inspector Shea had given
orders to his men to kill him on sight.
Then 1t was that Attorney Wade,
for the prisoner declared with great
emphasis that the two cartridges
offered In evidence had never been
struck by the hammer OF revolver,

"Your honor, 80 certain am l OF the

Let an officer OF this court take his
revolver ana pull tho trigger upon the
two indented cartriuges aud II the y
Jail to explode the fret time, will
agree that my client shall 20 to tho

Judge Tuthill took smoment to con.
siuer the startling proposition and
then, evidently impressed with the
fairness, ordered Court Baiiitf Latls to
make the required test. Laus took
the revolver t. the window and ex-
ploded the cartridges without the least

An Immense Loss 10 the Country
CAUSED by The Wilson Law,
Ihy Say.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The heaiing
on the wool schedule brought many
farmers and manufactures to the

imeDt of free trade had been a crime.
The value OF lands had decreased and
the shipment in all parts OF the country
had boon driven from business.
Sheepraisers asked only moderate

The Democratic members OF the
committee probed the witness for some
time. Wheeler. Ala, asked II the
clothing for work Dgmen had not been
cheaper under free wool, to which
Clark replied that most OF the cloth.
ing sold now was shoddy. The i'm.
portations OF shoddy had increased
under the law.
An hour was given to Judge VIM.

Wool Growers association to present
the request OF that body. The state-
