REVERSED ON ERROR.
Supreme Courts Reason for the New
Trial in the McNaspy Case.

F, The syllabus in the McNaspy ap.
peal has , just been received and it
gives the supreme courts reasons for
the allowing of new trial. The first
paragraph endorses Judge Moore's
ruling in regard to the right to try
McNaspy after he had voluntarily
come back. The second gives the
reason for new trial. In preparing
the informations for the two cases on
which the convictions were obtained
the county attorneydid not embody in
the complaint a copy Of the note
which it was alleged that the defend
ant forged. He gave as reason
for not doing so want of infor-
nation. Judge Moore refused
new trial merely on this ground but
the supreme court has given it and
the expense of another trial will have
to be repeated at the next term Of
court. The complete syllabus is.
l. A fugitive from the Justice Of
this state, residing in another state,
for whose arrest an officer has no
other authority than warrant issued
by Justice Of the peace Of this state,
and who is informed by such officer
of his lack Of authority, but who at
the officers instigation valves the
necessity Of requistion papers and
submits to arrest upon the Justices
warrant, and is brought by the officer
back to this state, will be held to have
voluntarily come within the iurisdic-
ton of the court, and may immedi-
ately upon his arrival here be prose-
cuted for another offense than the
one described in the warrant and to
respond to which he agreed to return.
2. In prosecutions for forgery COM
mitted by the insertion in m instru-
ment of additional words materially
changing It's terms, the information
should set forth copy Of the instru-
ment, so as to show the interpolated
words and their materality, or reas-
sons for the failure to do so other than
mere lack Of knowledge should be
stated in the information.
Chief Justice Doster wrote the syl-
labus and dissented from the first par
agraph. All justices concurred in
the second paragraph.

SOLD FINE CATTLE.
c. A. Stannard Of Hope Makes Some
More Important Sales.

While a good deal Of money is being
made in the handling Of feeders
shipped here from the southwest,
there is also a good profit and perhaps
Surer thing in the handling Of thor
oughbred cattle. One Of the men who
has been foremost in this line Of stock
dealing is G. A. stannard Of Hope
township, whose fine herd Of Herefords
has been mentioned by the REFLECTOR.
Mr.. Stannard is getting a reputation
for bis herd all over the west and has
buyers from long distances to pur-
chase from him. This week he sold
to J. c. Stribling, Jr., Of Llano, Texas,
ten head Of heller calves for the large
sum Of $1,000; also twenty head Of
bull calves for $3.50. The calves

plete Statement to the Court Of the
Business Dividends Paid.

Eight years ago last month the
failure Of Lebold, Fisher 4 Co. &C.
CURED. 1t was a severe blow to the
city and county and the losses were
large. This morning Assignee John
Johntz made another report to the
district court and asked leave to dis
tribute the small sums remaining in
his hands. The poor character of the
assets made the returns very small as
will be seen from the following sum-

$71, 0SS, of these S4S,991 were pre-

dend paid on $2S,S40 and $S7,971, 5
per cent; dividend not claimed $40;
cash on hand so, 1856; account due $75.
The court ordered the assignee to
keep 500 for emergencies and dis
tribute the remainder of cash as a
final dividend.

All the remaining real estate be-

farm on earth for the money.
The total claims Of the failure we're
$3.50, 6S5; claims presented, S261,sOO;

he has so well administered at the
February term.

as pretty as pictures. Mr.. Stannard
takes great pride in his breeding and
these were good examples Of the right
kind Of management.
He also sold to A. L. Evers OF Dillon
five cows and thirty one and two year
old heifers for $500. This averaged
800 head and it may be mentioned
that that is the lowest figure that will
touch Mr.. STANDARDS cattle-he be-
lieves in keeping the best.
That sort Of stockraising is Of great
benefit to the county and Dickinson is
proud to have such breeders inside its
boundaries.

GO TO THE PEN.
Three Convicted Prisoners Get Their
Sentences.

! The jury last Monday brought in a
verdict Of guilty against James Wat.
son and j. c. Blake, charged with as
sault with intent to commit robbery
on Oscar Werner and Sylvester Kou-
bah. The evidence disclosed that one
Of the defendants met Werner at Wa
mego and learned that he had some
money and was coming west. That
both Of the defendants were out in
the old fair grounds on the evening
of October 10, near the Santa Fe tool
house and as Werner and Koubah
were passing, assaulted them with
clubs and knocked them down, being
aided by pal. While the attempt
was being made to rob them, Werner
pulled his revolver and wounded one
l
Of the thieves, which frightened the
gang away. The two defendants were
afterward caught, the wounded pal
escaping. There was enough noise
made at the time to cause the rumor
of the killing Of a dozen men.
Judge Moore pronounced sentence
on the two men, Watson and Blake,
giving them two years each in the
penitentiary.
Wilson, the circus day burglar, was
sentenced to three years in the pen.

say that the seventeenth round ter
minated disastrously for the gentle

the subsequent proceedings interested
him no more. They werc both sandy
gentlemen, but Colopel Grady was
able to display the greatest science.

Commencement exercises,
1897, at st. Katharine's is a
thing of the past, but will ev-
er be remembered with pleas
ure by all who attended. The
study hall was most tasteful
ly decorated and was filled
to overlooking each evening
with appreciative audiences.
The different selections were
well chosen and equally as
well executed by the young
ladies.
Tuesday evening, June l,
was given to the preparatory
pupils, who acquitted them
selves hOnorably, not only
in the rendition of the music
al selections, but in their rec
itations as well. Without
meaning to be partial, we
make special mention of the
CHERRY Little Frogs, a song
and dance by three little las
sizes, the hit of the evening.
The graduates, Misses Luz
ella Clinton, Blanche Wood,
Julia Bills and Bessie Tate,
were the attractive feature
on Wednesday evening.
Their essays, upon which
much time and study had
been bestowed, were quite
unique as to subjects and
were read in a pleasing style.
After conclusion of the ex-
ercises, Rev. G. S. Ware pre-
scented the following prizes
Two medals offered in the
French classes were won by
Misses Annie Mitchell and

Empty Treasury.

New YORK, June Edward b.
Craig, Treasurer and InsuranceCom-
missioner of the State of Tennessee,
was in Wall Street to-day on some
what singular official errand-to
negotiate a loan to provide funds to
paw interest on the funded debt of
Tennessee, and cash for the current
expenses of the State. Treasurer
Craig will be joined tomorrow by
Gov. Robert L. Taylor, and it is not
likely that they will experience any
difficulty in procuring the needed
amount, about $3.50, 900, at less in
terest than would be eXacted in Ten
nessee.
The present strait of Tennessee,
which accounts for the presence here
of its Governor and Treasurer, can
be readily explained. Two years
ago its Legislature reduced the tax
rate from 80 to 20 cents. This was
done, apparently without other mo-
tive than to secure notoriety as an
economical Legislature, at the in
stance of one or two members of the
Legislature. The reduction was not
asked for, there had been no COM
plant in regard to taxation, and no
one had demanded that the rate
should be less. The reduction,
of course, scaled down the rev.
enue one-third, so that on June l,
Tennessee was behind hand about
$4,000
On July 1 the State has to pay
about 1926, 900 interest on its debt,
besides current expenses for the
month of July. Against this out
put there will be the receipts for
the month of June, about 800, 900.
In anticipation of the deficiency,
the last Legislature authorized the
Finance Board of Tennessee-the
Governor, Treasurer and Comptrol-
er-to borrow any sum necessary to
defray the States needs and keep
up its credit. The Legislature also
restored the tax rate to so cents, so
that the resources of Tennessee will
be ample to pay the loans that are
about to be negotiated and others
that will be needed, because no relief
will come of the restoration of the
rate until next February.
The Finance Board will probably
secure the money it needs through
Latham, Alexander & Co., I6 Wall
street.

Was Paul a widower2

EDITOR BULLETIN-A few weeks
ago | noticed in your estimable pa
per question propounded by the
correspondent from league to ''Lu-
cIlle," of Glen Hill, namely: "Was
Paul married man." In her usu-
al unevasive manner, "Lucille" an
swered that he was a widower.
While | have great respect for the
opinions of the correspondent from
Glen Hill, yet in this instance / do
not consider her orthodox, and
therefore dissent from the decision
reached. In the It'll chapter of lst
Corinthians, Sth verse, the great
apostle said: 81 say therefore to
the unmarried and widows it is good
for them if they abide even as L."
1t is evident that Paul was single
at the time of this writing, and to
argue that he had previously mar
ried and while widower was teach
ing that it is good to remain in
state of single blessedness, is simply
preposterous, as evidenced by his
toric facts relative to the lives of
widowers. Again, the apostle in
question boldly proclaimed that
wives should be subject to their
husbands, and he also opposed the
spending, by wives, the hard earn
ings of those with whom they cast
their lot for gaudy apparel. | bold
ly assert that if any widower can
be found in this broad land of ours
who would endorse the position of
Paul on the subjects mentioned that
he would be eagerly sought after by
the show men of the world, for the
purpose of being exhibited as
freak of nature. That the greatest
of all apostles was a broad-minded
bachelor, whose heart went out to
those who had become entangled III
the matrimonial net, is too apparent
to be denied. BACHELOR.
