death weighed in the balance and
the result terminated in the arrest
of Mr.. Bud Mullaney, Ralph and
Roy Fleener Wednesday by
Deputy Sheriff Bradfeld, who
came up from Colorado Springs
and served papers on the trio.
When it became known that
three of our townsmen were over
shadowed by the black clutches of
the law, dozen or more of
Eastonville's most prominent and
influential citizens rushed to their
aid and Immediately offered help,
telling the parties under arrest
that whatever the bond might be
it could be furnish ed-and it was.
There we're no legal bond blanks
in town and the deputy sheriff
escorted the indicted men to the
Springs on the evening train, ac~
companied by parties who soon
had the bond of each-S1, 800
fixed and next day the arrested
parties returned home, but are to
appear before the district court on
January 9th, at which time their
trial will be set.
The sentiment and feeling of
the great majority of people in
Eastonville and community is
with Messrs. Mullaney and Fleen-
ers, as they have ever been gem
tlemen in business and social
affairs; and while all criminals
should be punished and the law
respected, it is not the candid
opinion that the parties now un-
der arrest are responsible for
Victor ripton's death.

One is a beautiful head in profile said to have
been drawn after Byrons death. and the other
IS a full-length sketch Of the poet as lad of

Stin another Byron likeness in the collection
is one upon bronze medal which was struck

services TO the cause OF that country's freedom.

head is the one word Byron in Greek letters.

THE LITERARY AGENT.
HIS WORK AS EXPLAINED BY A. ?. WATT
WHO is ONE HIMSELF.

Among the recent arrivals in New-York from
Europe is a middle aged, prematurely gray man
Of pleasing presence, who attracts attention in
the small circle which he frequents by the fact
that he is the originator OF the business in which
he is engaged, and because Of his success in the
comparatively new calling. The man is A. P.
Watt, the literary agent who made the trip
from his home in England 10 see Mr.. kipling,
who is one OF his clients.
In speaking of his business, Mr.. Watt said
that writer's now recognize the necessity for en-
ploying an agent through whom they may place
their works before the public, thoroughly as
manufacturers of merchandise do in their line
Of business
THE agent" he said. becomes the business
manager OF the writer and relieves his client o,
much trouble and gives him more time to de-
vote 10 his literary labors The agent mus;
know how. when and where to place the works
Of his clients. His place toward the author
whom he represents is identical with that OF the
lawyer toward his client"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1899-04-16

MI Watt is the literary executor OF Wilkie
Collins. whose agent he was and he manages
the affairs Of a number OF writers. among whom
are. besides Mr.. Kipling Rider Haggard, Stanley
Weyman Dr. A. Conan Doyle W Clark Rus
SELL Sir w. Wilson Hunter the Right Hon.
Arthur J. Balfour. Sir Walter Besant ). X.
Crockett and Dr. John Watson 0an Maclaren).
THE belief that who write said Mr.
Watt ARE not business men is not well founded.
! have known writers TO be good business men,
and they employ an agent not because they are
incompetent to manage their own affairs but
because they wish TO avoid the unpleasantness
connected with business and to have more time
for more agreeable occupation
Mr. Watt spoke reluctantly about his business
and it's methods but was enthusiastic about his
cordial reception in NewYork and the hosp-
tality Of his friends.
