nearly fifty years one of Chicago's

heart failure at his palatial home on
the Lake Shore drive at $50 o'clock

Palmer & Letter, of which the other
members were Marshall Field and Levi
Y. Letter, and which has been sue
ceeded by the firm of Marshall Field

HAMILTON RAYNER u QUILTED
Former Citizen Of DeSoso Cleared o.
Murder Charge.

The following from All Ell Paso
Texas, paper will be of interesr
to Mr.. Hamilton Rlyner's old
friends in this county:
Hamilton Rayner, the popular
and efficient special officer for the
Southern Pacific, Is receiving
congratulations frolg everybody y
today on account ofEthe decision
acquitting him last evening in
his trial for the killing OF j. d.
Clifford. The jury vas ont less
than five minutes. 5elf.defense
was proved.
In talking to Linkand Pin this
morning about the trial, Mr.. Ray
ner said: IL have often heard
people talk about the unlucky
thirteen, bnt don't consider 1t
unlucky at all. Ny trial came
up the thirteenth OF the month
and just thirteen months after
the killing happened. Including
the judge and the jury there were
just thirteen men toiry me. Thir.
teen is certainly lucky for me. !"
Rayner killed Clifford Seytem-
ber z, 1900, and tue testimony at
the trial showed that Clifford, who
had been a G. HI. & S A. switch
man, had been discharged, and
that he was muchaincensed al
Superintendent Carley of the
Pullman company, and with Sup
er ntendent Martinpf the q. H.,
both of whom he accused of caus-
ing him to be discharged.
1t appears that Clifford, who
was large and strong, had Just
before the shooting beaten Garley
who was small man most un-
mercifully and had threatened to
cut Mr.. Martin S throat.
Mr.. Rayney came up shortly
afterward and Mr. Martin de-
manded Gifford's arrest.
Rayner tried to arrest him and
the evidence showed that the Off
Ger even pleaded with him, but
would not allow himself
to be taken.
Rayner then went and got his
pistol, returned and tried again
to arrest him, but he resisted,
when the officer struck him onl
the head with the gun.
Clifford then struck Rayner.

The man argument made by
the prosecution was that The off J

committed and without a warrant.
The court instructed the jury
that there We're cases where d

BUSY DAY IN MAYORS COURT
-Four Offenders Tried and Fined on
Minor Charges.

Last Monday was a rather busy
day in mayors court for SO quiet
and lawabiding a town as Her
nando. Four negroes were ar
raigned, found guilty and given
what they deserved.
One Of these negroes, Flem
Bell, was from Sardis. He left
that place Sunday morning for
Memphis, where he was assailed
by a thirst which he quencbed
with fiery beverage. When the
south bound evening train left
Memphis he imagined he owned
it from cow-catcher to signal
lights and proceeded to impress
this fact upon the other passen-
gers, much to their annoyance.
The conductor decided he could
do very we'll without Bells riot
Gus assistance and when the train
reached here the latter was forci-
bly, elected and taken to jaL
Monday morning he reluctantly
contributed $l0.35 to the city
court.
Milton Cummi lgs, colored, at.
tended the circus here Saturday,
and it proved his undoing. He
was not looking for the marshal
but the latter was looking for
him and found him. He was
wanted for carrying concealed
weapons and happened to have a
gun on him at the time of his ar
rest. He cleared himself BY llay-
ing $25 and costs.

Robt. Connolly and Ptte Sloane,
came up tor consideration and
they were fined $685. each. They
had Engaged il q friendly crap
game with some others and as
usual it ended ia a fight in which
these two took i lea ling part. As
each one battered the other they
were given even sentences.
