Mrs. Hartley's Boy Dead.

Vernon Harrison Hartley, the
little son of Mrs. Alice Hartley and
the late Senator Foley, Of Nevada,
died at Reno Sunday after a brief
illness from scarlet fever. 1t will
be remembered that Mrs. Hartley,
a beautiful young widow, and an
artist of some note, shot and killed
Senator Foley at Reno several
years ago, alleging that he was the
father of her unborn child.
One day during stormy inter
view with the author of her trouble
over the result of what she claimed
to be broken pledge, Mrs. Hartley
fired the fatal shot that sent the
soul Of a married libertine into
eternity. For the crime she was
sentenced to serve eleven years in
the Nevada state prison. The child
was born a short time before the
sentence was imposed, and she took
it to prison with her. The Board
of Pardons granted her a release
last month and she removed from
Carson to Reno, taking up her
quarters at the Hotel Clarendon.
The guardian of the child brought
suit against the Foley estate for
one-half the property left by the
dead Senator, which suit is still
pending in the United States court.
1t is understood a compromise was
about to be effected with the con-
testing heirs. The death Of the
child, however, will end the pro-
ceedings.
AS heir to her sons estate, Mrs.
Hartley now stands in a position
to demand 100000 of the estate
of the man she killed, However,
she is placed in the position of first
proving that her son was really the
son of the late Senator Foley.
The death of the child removes his
guardian, DR.. Thomas, a respected
citizen of Reno, from the contest
and forces the mother to meet the
issue alone. The Reno Journal, in
commenting on the death of the
boy, says:
Mrs. Hartley's cup of bitterness is full
to the brim. The little boy no doubt for
months past has been her only comfort,
aud he for whom she had built so many
hopes is No more. Himself the Inno-
cent and indirect. cause of tragedy, a
broken heart and wrecked life. yet
loved as only a mother can love child
Cor whom she has suffered. The curtain
has fallen on another act of an unfortu
nate circumstance in RenO's history. The
poor stricken mother is bowed down with
grief, alone and in strange land. Let
the veil of charity be drawn about her
and lot the past be forgotten in this hour
of sadness,

A recent dispatch from Douglass,
Wyo., says: Word has been received
here of the marriage, February LIST,
at Berlin, Germany, of Miss Inez
Richards, daughter of Hon. DeFor-
rest Richards of this place, to Bart
lett Richards of Chaldron, Neb.
Quite bit of romance attaches to
this marriage. The groom is the
uncle of the bride, being her fathers
brother. The laws of America for
bid the marriage of relatives of this
degree of consequently, and as
the principals were determined to
marry, they went to Germany and

A member of the Kansas legis.
lature introduced a bill making it
compulsory for all people who
owned chickens to write out COM
plete description OF. every fowl on
the premises and deposit same with
the Probate Judge of their respec-
tive counties. The object of the
bill being to lessen the crime of
chicken stealing. 1t seems a strange
coincidence that the bill was killed
by two colored members, who talked
for two consecutive days against
the passage Of the bill. What a
broad minded statesman that mem
Der must be who introduced such
an absurd bill. 1t is about as i'm
portant, however, as some of the
bills which have been introduced
by Idaho's solons.

:, John Bull No Kin to IA. :

In connection with the arbltra-
ton treaty discussion, the London
Globe took occasion to say:
"Here in England we are 10th to
rid ourselves of the old-time delu-
sions, aud that is undoubtedly why
we still cling to the idea that the
people of the Uni,ed States are our
American cousins. This tradition.
of course, was. fustered by the fact
that they speak English, more or
less, and that those seen most here
Lincoln, Phelps and Bayard-are,
to all intents and purposes, English
men. Considering how tender we
always are with the United States
and how anxious we are to spare
their feelings in every way, we peri
odically wonder why they are in
turn so discourteous to US. The
cause is. of course, that the people
of the United States are a mixed
race and not more related to us a.
a whole than Germany" -.

Monday, the 22nd, was the ami
versary of the 165th birthday of
Washington, and tits expected upon
its recurrence that every American
newspaper will pay fitting tribute
to the memory of that illustrious
patriot, who was first in war, first
in peace, and first in the hearts of
his countrymen.' It is a time
worn theme the ablsst orators and
writer's of the land have exhausted
the vocabulary of eulogies on his
merits as a boy, a soldier, patriot
and a statesman. II is then not
worth while for us to indulge in any
lofty flights Of rhetorical language
in commemoration of the greatest
man in American history-we will
simply remark, in common par
lance, with it's up-to-date signifi-
canoe that "thera were no flies" on
George Washington.

Leo, the smallest horse, is O full
