whether after all It was quite neces-

Now wish to be very clear with you
on this point, my friends, for would

dishonorably or ungratefully to the
man who had helped me away from the
brigands. You must remember that Of
all duties the strongest is that which .
commanding officer owes to his men.
You must also bear in mind that war is

rules, and when these rules are broken
one must at once claim the forfeit. If,

parole had been asked of me. Out Of
overconfdence and the chance Of the
lame horse dropping behind, the Bart
had permitted me to get upon equal

enterprise so far as to have deprived
him of his sword, and seen that had
at least one guard besides myself. 1

An overdose Of carbolic acid taken to
relieve toothache came near resulting

living at 1872 North Main street. AS
soon as the poison began to take effect
in the poor girls mouth and Throat she
gave a cry of pain, which called her
mother from another room. Already she
was suffering the most intense agony
from the effects of the acid, which was
burning away the flesh wherever it had
touched. Mrs. Nieto poured out large
quantity of sweet oil, which she gave her
daughter, and then sent another member
Of the family hurriedly to the county
hospital, which is only short distance
away, after doctor, who soon arrived
and did what he could to relieve the suf-

The accident happened about 10 o'clock
in the morning. Senorita Nieto had been
almost distracted for several hours
with a toothache, and decided to place
a little carbolic acid in the cavity to quiet
the pain. She took a small piece of cot

picking up the bottle containing the
acid, she attempted to pour drop onto
the cotton. She was ignorant OF the de-

Possibly Murder, More Probably a

NEVADA CITY. June 1.-The como

divided verdict tonight, two jurors
finding that Mrs Gehrig was murdered
and the other four that she committed
suicide. DR.. o. c. Baldy. a veterinary
surgeon, was the first witness. He pro-
duced numerous impressions Of the
bloody finger marks found around the
building where the woman died. In his
judgment they were too large to have
been made by woman's fingers. DR..
A. H. Lickell said he found seven wounds
on the head, all superficial but one,
which might possibly be slight frac-
ture. None of them would have pro-
duced insensibility or so weakened Mrs.
Gehrig that she could not have hanged
herself. He was very certain she had
inflicted all the wounds herself with
stick of wood and had afterwards hang
ed herself Sheriff Neagle and Deputy
Sheriff Getchell testified that they were
