Mrs. Burgess Acquitted.
From the cimarron Jacksonian. Nov. Is.

From the Cimarron Jacksonian, Nov. 10.
The case against Mrs. Reba Bur-
CESS, charged with killing her hus-
band, Burke Burgess, Thursday OF
last week, ended in a verdict of &C.
quittal of the defendant in the dis
trict court of this county Wednesday
at Ago p. m.
I The work of empanneling jury
began about p. m. Tuesday from
a special venire of "a men summon
ed for the case, and at $500 p. m. OF
that day the, jury was completed.
At 9 O'Clock a. m. Wednesday the
case was taken up, and with the ex-
ception of some minor details the
case developed nothing more than
was brought out in the coroner's in
quest, and related in this paper last
week.
J. B. Naylor assisted County At
torney Harry Brice in the prosecu-
ton, while M. w. Sutton, of Dodge
City, and H. F. Mason, of Garden
City, represented the defense.
About one dozen witnesses were
examined, the chief witness for the
state being Frank Lear, who hap
pened to drive up to the Kelly home
few minutes before the shooting
was done, whose testimony was the
the same as given before the coro-
ner's jury.
The defendant when placed on
the stand testified that she went into
the house and was looking for the
girl, Maud Kelly; that she found the
pistol and was thinking about killing
herself when Burgess entered the
door. She said she heard a crash
and saw her husband sinking down,
down, down. She admitted that
Frank Lear's testimony as to what
she had said and done prior to the
shooting was correct.
A part of the testimony brought
out in the trial as to the cause that
led up to the shooting is unfit for
publication.
The case was given to the jury
at 4 p. m. and at ago p. m. the jury
returned rendering a verdict of not
guilty.
The defendant was warmly con-
graduated on her acquittal by many
friends who were in the court room
and witnessed the trial. The con-
sensus of opinion as expressed is
that the verdict is just one.

The fine weather was brought
to close Sunday night, heavy
fog hung over all day Monday
and Tuesday and is still foggy
and stormy.
Mr.. Leach, from the Artesian
country, was over and purchased
large bill of lum Der the last OF
last week for the building OF
sheds and corrals for stock.
Preaching services continued
nearly all last week, good sized
crowd attending. Good attention
was given at all times and every
body speaks highly of Rev. Fran.
els. He will preach next Sunday
at the Congregational church.
Everybody invited to come as il
may be his last sermon here.
We understand that the tea CHI
ers of the Soule College of Dodge
will give free entertainment at
the M. E. church Saturday night
Dec. 1. 1t will be given as an adj
vertisement of the college.
Quite number of young peo-
pie gathered at Mr.. Burford's
last Sunday and while there they
say they had Henry to take their
pictures.
Henry Burford, Bob Turner
and Arthur Jones wade flying
trip to Minneola on the hand car
last Thursday night after Ed.
Palmer.
D1ED-Mr. George E. Palmer
passed from the tolls of this
world Friday, Nov. 16, at II a.
m. The funeral was held at the
Congregational church at II
o'clock Saturday morning, con-
Quoted by Revs. Francis and
Henderson, after which the re-
mains were borne to the Fowler
Cemetery and there laid to rest.
The cause of his death was inf1a-
nation of the intestines. He
had been slightly afflicted with
this ailment for several years but
was sick only five days before he
died.
Messrs. Bert Crane, Fred Nett
and John Wymer went to Bloom
Friday night after Pursy Newton
so that he could be at the funeral
services Saturday.
Misses Stella and Mollie Bur-
ford visited Miss Pearl Zollman
at Mr.. Dyer's last week.
Rev. Francis and Mary Palmer
drove out to the Green school
house where he held services
Sunday afternoon.
w. E. Green has been busy
the past few days hauling hay in
from the Mullen place and get
ting ready for winter.
Frank Nett's flashing counte-
nance was seen among his many
friends for few days last week.
E. o. Palmer returned to his
section at Minneola Monday.
We are inclined to think that
Mr.. Pinnick has more feed than
he can possibly haul out on his
one-horse sled this winter and it
would meyer do for him to use a
wagon for the reason he would
haul out so much feed that his
cattle would get so overburdened
with fat that they could not get
to water so he would be compel
led to carry water to them.

Appropos of the change of management of

Appropos of the change of management of
the Rock Island eating hruses on January 1,
from Dinner Bros, to the direct supervision
of the Culinary Dedartment of the Rock
Island road. 1t is proper to state that Mr..
Frank Stewart, under whose management the
eating houses will now be, has had charge
of the Culinary Department of tina road for
many years and the travelling public will APP
preciate the fact that the Rock Island has
placed its dining stations west of the Missouri
river under his supervision. This change has
been made for systematic organization in or
der to have one department responsible for
this kind service, both dining cars and eating
houses over the entire system. Mr.. Stewart
is a dining car expert and undoubtedly the
dining car system will be extended more or
less under his management. The Culinary
Department of the Rock Island has an en-
viable reputation throughout the entire west,
for its extensive menu, excellent service and
"a la carte" plan of requiring patrons to pay
only for what they desire.
