BOB WHITE FOUND GUILTY.
1t Took the Jury Fully Six Hours tt
Determine the Result of the
Trial.


When the case of Bob White was fin.
ished Friday afternoon and the evidence
was all submitted and the court gave
its instructions to the jury there was
no doubt as to the result of the verdict.
The testimony Of John Gregory was
convincing that the fellow held him up
with gun and stole his bicycle. G. Q.
Bras saw something of the operation
and when be went to the assistance OF
the boy White also pulled gun on
him. DR.. Dix assisted in the capture
of the criminal and Marshal Keith took
him off to jail. White had nothing to
offer in defense-he had committed the
deed and he should suffer the penalty.
The court was sparticular about instruct
ing the jury in reference to the insani.
ty part Of the case and told the MEM
bers that the mans sanity had nothing
to do with the situation at this time,
but would come up later if necessary.
With all the evidence 80 plain it Va.
Thought that the jury would not be out
to exceed ten or fifteen minutes to ar.
rive ct q verdict. However, the time
passed on and it was nearly ten O'Clock
in the evening before the court was in.
formed that verdict had been found
The verdict was that White was guilty.

Got a Ten Year Sentence.

Saturday Bob, White was brought
before Judge Smith to receive the SEN
tence of the court for the crime OF
which he was found guilty. The law
in this required sentence of ton
years in the penitentary and the court
had no discretion in the matter but to
follow the statute and the sentence was
posed.
Up to the present time White has
been Stimulating insanity and it was
presumed that if he was found guilty
an effort would be made to have him
confined m the insane asylum. None
of the men who have had charge of
White since his Incarceration in the
Jail have believed him to be insane and
that b. was simply working the dodge
to prevent his going to the penitentary.
The matter was explained to White
this morning that if he should bs ad-
juged sane and was sent to the asy-
lum he would be relieved of the
court sentence which would still be
due him it would make no difference
if he went to Yankton and remained
there two yeare and finally became
sane he would be. brought back to
Mitchell and receive his sentence of
ten years in the psnitentiary in addi-
ton to the time spent in the asylum.
When White learned of this it is said
that he became quite rational at once
and was able to talk the natter over
and understand it st once. he said
he was ready to 60 to Sioux Falls and
begin his sentence at once. Sheriff
Swipdler took him to Sioux Falls tba,
morning viz the Milwaukee road. BE
is said to have admitted at the last that
he was not insane.
Ithss been ascertained that White
was confirmed hasheesh eater and q
man with that habit is said to be equal
to most any crime, SO that it is not to
be wondered at his attempt to hold up q
boy at the point OF lis revolver.
1t is probable that if White conducts
himself properly in the penitentiary
he may be able to secure q pardon at
the end of four or five years

the scene OF q gay assemblage of young
gentlemen Monday evening when they
gathered there to do honor 10 the de-
parture of b. P. Beckwith, who ex-
poets to leave in few days for Elk
Point, which will be counted as his
home in the future. ~
There were ten young men who have
been intimately associated with Mr..
Beckwith in the past years OF social
and business affairs and they took this
method to show their appreciation Of
his worth to them as afriend. .45''N
When Mr.. Beckwith decided to re-
move to Elk Poins.his friends adopted
this plan as one whereby they could do
him honor to which they thought he
was entitled, and the entire matter wsi
turned over to Caterer Phillips to make
the spread q pretentious one. 80 ii
It was about 1890 O'Clock when the
party arrived At the restaurant to par.

SMALL ROW AT BARRACKS
One of the Salvation Army Members
Was Struck Sunday Evening
'''-' by an Outsider. =

There has been more or less distur-
bance at the Salvation Army meetings
outside of the hall for some time, and
the disturbance was continued Sunday
evening. An effort it is claimed had
been made to quell the noise but with
out SUCCESS. Toward the close of the
meeting A, K. Campbell went outside
and spoke to one Of the men in the
crowd and asked him to stop, at the
same time taking hold of tha mans
coat sleeve and urging him to go away.
Mr.. Campbell said that the man struck
him near the temple and on the jaw,
which felled him to the ground, and in
falling he sprained his ankle. One of
the parties who saw the affair states
that Mr.. Campbell struck the man he
was talking to, which prompted the
blow given. him. 1t is hoped that the
Salvation Army people will be permit
ted to conduct their meetings without
disturbance on the outsids,of tie build
ing and those who .congregate there
should show them that respect due any
religious meeting.

Brandt are the pride of Dawson county.

Brandt are the pride OF Dawson county.
For thirty years they have been comb
ed and brushed and fed on tonic and
beard vigor until Mitchell has come to
be known as one of the windiest places
on the weather map. Their hue is II
rich, dark, iron gray, and when the
southern zephyrs softly blow, and when
the north winds moan and howl, and
even when there is 9 weather calm,
this wonderful growth of facial alfalfa
is regarded as thing of beauty Every
barber in Mitchell has fondled it, and
it's benefcent influence has been such
that tonsorial strikes there are entire
ly unknown.
But these whiskers are to be shaved
off today, and they will be brought to
Sioux City tonight in a mail sack. For
the first time since Ulysses S Grant
defeated Horatio Seymou" Mr.. Brandt
face is to be smooth, and his visw Of the
pill boxes will be unobstructed. The
amputation will not be without cere-
mony. A general invitation to all the
republicans of Mitchell and Dawson
county has been extended, and the ra.
zor strokes may be accompanied by a
little rag time music from the Mitchell
Glee club. 1t will be time "for your
whiskers."
Up to the present time Mr.. Brandt is
wearing those whiskers by reason OF
the non-appearance of Jim Morisrty,
the Milwaukee engineer, who has failed
to reach Mitchell for the past week on
his run because of sickness. Jim
doesn't get zil the whiskers, however.
Jos Gotto, the Western Union manager
gets the lion share. Moriarty only gets
the mustache and Gotto gets the abun.
dant crop of whiskers. Gotto made q
bet with Brandt against the whiskers
that Bryan would not be nominated at
Kansas City and then Brandt made q
bet with Gotto of those same whiskers
that il Bryan WAS nominated he would
be elected. In the first place Gotto
lost the whiskers on his bet but now
claims the locks on the second and Joe
says he proposes to have them If he has
to pull them out one by one. When
the time comes for the shesring to be.
gin there will be q large crowd around

all. provoked a great deal of amuse-
ment and the guest enjoyed the reso-
lutions as much as the others. Cyrus
Warne was delegated to speak on the.
"Reyiew of Past Life" which included
reference to about every event in the
social career of Mr.. Beckwith; Cy was
in ine speaking form and did full JUS
tice to the subject entrusted to him.
The remarks were given in jocular
manner and some of the Incidents
brought forth peals of laugher. Mr..
Beckwith responded fttingly to all
that was said and expressed his grate-
fulness to his friends for the manner In
which they had decided to send him
out of town.
The affair'was decidedly pleasant

late when an adjournment was taken,

OF the participants as one of the most
pleasant in q long time.
Considerable credit is due Caterer

fast for her. In reporting the meeting
the st. Louis Globe Democrat has the
following to say abou, the races which
we're run: 1 z 2.
There was spirited finish to the
coursing stake for all-age dogs yester-
day at Pastime Field. The Contestants
were James Morley's splendid little
worker, Black Beauty and Curran and

One OF the fastest hares was turned
loose for the course, and the dogs ran
themselves off their feet chasing bum

The course was long and pretty one.
Black Beauty held on we'll and made
an even break with May Herschel dur
ing the early part OF the chase, but
when 1t came to question # endur-
ance. May Herschel showed to be much
the best.
Block Beauty is game to The core,
however, and never quit trying as long
as the hare remained at large. After
the rabbit had run both his pursuers
into the ground fresh dog was turned
loose. He soon made the gay and fes.
tive jack take to the escapes.
Black Beauty was hardly in shape to
stand the grueling she received. She
was oil out when brought in from the
field, and will hardly be in shape to run
again for several weeks
Nav Herschel is one of the best grey
hounds shown this season. She has
speed and is clever worker. Before
she met Black Beauty, May Herschel

ROYAL
Baking Powder.

The strongest, purest, most efficient and
wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest

able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap impure, un-
healthful articles of food? There is no
economy in them; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases Of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.

DO NOT LIKE BRYAN.
Texas Democrats Think He Should be
Retired From Public Eve.

w. w. Cummings, of this city, who
is at present sojourning in New York
City, writes to his friends concerning
the political situation the east. Mr.
Cummings says that Mckinley is a
prime favorite in New York and tho
a big crowd turned out to greet Bryan
last Saturday the most of them were
moved by curiosity or kindred motives,
and many are hardly likely to vote for
him. Mr. Cummings tells of CONVEX
sation he had with Texas democrat
who told him that the people of Texas
were not such ardent admirers of Bry-
an as Bryan's followers would have it
thought. The gentleman said that he
himself tho a lifelong democrat would
vote for Mckinley if he thought it
would make him carry the state; and
he knew many others who were so
tired of Bryan that they would gladly
do the same. The people of Texas
think that Bryan is not democrat in
any sense of the word, and believe
any measures justiflable that may
lead to his everlasting retirement from
politics.

ed Right and Still Continues.
]. G. Williams, of Eddyville, says he
read in the Courier what an Ottumwa
man SAID about casting his first vote
for Scott and says he can beat the rec.
ord by two years. He says he cast his
first vote in 1850 for county and town
ship officers on the Wing ticket and
has voted the republican ticket ever
since it has been party He states
that he has never wandered away in
search of false gods. He voted for
Lincoln in 1864 while incarcerated in
a rebel prison at Camp Ford, Tyler,
Texas. Mr.. Williams explains this
statement by saying that it was test
vote taken among the boys for the pur-
pose, of determining how they stood.
The result was three to one in favor of
Lincoln.
