Ada Washington Guilty of
Shooting N. w. Tryon.
Question One of veracity-Woman Main
tanned Pistol Was Used Only
in Self-Defense.

Ada Washington, colored was yester-
day convicted in Criminal Court No. I Of
having made an assault with intent TO kill
upon Mr.. Noah W. Tryon in January last
at II Fenton Street northeast. The trial
was begun before Justice Anderson on
Tuesday.
The case was submitted to the jury on
Friday at p. m. At the hour of ad-
journment of the court a verdict had not
been reached and the jury was locked in
the consultation room over night. The
verdict was reported yesterday at 1880
a. m.
Trouble Over Sister.
The trouble between Mr.. Tryon and the
Washington woman. If any there was. re-
suited from an accusation said to have
been made against him by Lizzie Waller,
also colored, sister of the defendant.
The girl claims to be about sixteen years
old, and at one time was employed in the
Tryon household. She charged that the
complaining witness had betrayed her.
Because of this Ada Washington sent
for Mr.. Tryon TO come TO her house.
W ut ne hdu a WIN
the girl and she denied having made such
a charge against him. This, he said, SEEM
ed to enrage Ada Washington. who vent
into another room and returned with a
pistol in her hand.
She then, Mr.. Tryon said, placed herself
in front of the door leading out into the
street and told him that he could not leave
the house until he made a settlement OF
the matter. BY a trick, Mr.. Tryon said.
he managed to get out of the house and
started down the street. He had not got
ten more than three or four feet from
the doorway when the woman fired at
him.
Lodged in Hip.
The bullet, he said, entered his left
hip and his injury necessitated him alb
senting himself from his office, In the
Treasury building, for nearly month.
In her defense Ada Washington testi-
fed that Mr.. Tryon went to her house
and threatened TO injure her II she ex
posed him. She said she was afraid of
him and shot at him In self-defense. The
bullet. which entered Mr.. Tryon's left hip,
however, did not enter from the front,
but from the rear. showing that his back
was turned to the woman when she fired.
The Government was represented by
Assistant District Attorney Peyton Cor

She was again asked If he were the man
who assaulted her She saw that the nan
before her was not Lyies, and said SO.
This test made her Identification of her
assailant complete.
Lyles' defense was an alibi. Several wit
nessps were called and testified that AT the
time he is said TO have assaulted Miss
Drcarer Re was elsewhere. On tn. other
occasions Miion Miss Dreaser said she had
seen him and he threatened her iii, II she
informed on him. the witnesses also 'orated
Lyles in another part of the city.

After his conviction Lyles counsel,
Messrs. Cuttings and Fague, filed mo-
ton for a new trial. The question was ar
gued on the part of the Government by
Assistant District Attorney Thomas c.
Taylor, who also conducted the prosecu-
tion.
The motion for n new trial was over
ruled by Justice Anderson. Counsel for the
defense gave notice that an appeal will be

Several years ago an Atkinson man
married slender, modest little darling.
and everybody said it was case of
hawk and dove. Now the wife weighs
twice as much as the husband. has
Whiskers and talks bass.
When woman is old and bilious she
explains it in poetical way by saying
she is fading away like lily.
When woman begins to admire a
man she begins to prosecute him.
There comes time to every married
woman when she has to use sort of
faith cure on her belief in her husbands
affections.
1t is a pitiful truth that women trust
their daughters with men whom their
husbands wouldn't trust to open an ac-
count.
A certain Atkinson woman is always
invited to serve the brick ice cream at
parties, for the reason that she cuts it in
such thin slices.
Would some terrible thing happen if
a girl forgot to tie up those terrible but
tons on the back of her skirt, and is it
possible under present fashion cOndi-
lions for girl to dress without the
assistance of the neighbors.
1t always makes daughter mad to
see her mother obey her father, and she
vows she will show more spirit" when
she has DISQUALIFICATION Globe.
If you are trying to perserve virtue
it's just as well to keep it on ice.
When woman has failed to raise
mignOnette in her garden there is no
way to convince her that life is not an
utter failure.
A woman can never understand that
other women can do the same things she
does without being made any worse by
them than she is.
A woman is as careful about matching
her garter snspenders with the top cOlOrs
OF her stockings as man is about mix
lug his drinks.

The official ca II for the Democratic

district was issued Monday. The con-
ventiOn is to be held in Fond du Lac on
Wednesday, August q. Among the
candidates who have been mentioned
for the Democratic nomination are
Owen A. Wells, former congressman;
j. w. Watson, who made the run last
election on the Democratic ticket; DR..
T. F. Mayhan and Frank E. Schaefer,
all of Fond du Lac, James Malone,
Juneau, and Charles Weisse of Sheboy-
gan Falls. Other names have also been
mentioned, and it is thought that there
will be close fight for the honOrs. 1t
is generally conceded that no candidate
can be nominated on the first ballot. It
is expected that there will be some in
teresting developments before the close
of the session.
No call has been issued for Republi-
can congressional convention. Con
gresham S. S. Barney Will undoubtedly
be the only candidate. He is not pro-

Good Words for Beach.

At the Senatorial convention held in
Whitewater last Saturday Z. P. Beach
of that place was nominated without
opposition. Beach is a good man and
will no doubt give his constituents
good service Lake Geneva Herald.
Zadoc P. Beach of Whitewater is a
good man for the state senate. Now
let Walworth county send as good a
one to the assembly. Enter
prise.
Z. P. Beach, the nominee for state
senator on the republican ticket. is
competent in every way for the posi-
ton for which he is named. He be-
gan life Alright, on farm. The COM
mon school and state university gave
him his education in books, and in
practical business life he has added to
the knowledge which will serve him
as legislator. He is a friend of SEN
ator Spooner. and believes with the
large majority of the republicans ia
the state, that he should be returned
to the senate, where he has made a
name second to none in the nation.
Mr.. Beach is thoroughly honorable,
reliable man, one who will serve his
district as faithfully as he would his
own private business. and we hope will
be elected by large majority.-Elk-
horn Independent.
The Register expressed its opinion
of ex- Mayor Beach when his name was
first suggested for the senatorship, and
we re-affirm all the good things then
said of him as we now put his name in
the ticket at the head of our columns.
Doubtless we will have more to say of
him before election day, but it will be
because it is pleasure to do so and
not a necessity. Whitewater Register.

The TWO planks which constitute the
main part of the Republican state
platform are those in favor OF a prima-
ry election law and of equal taxation.
The principle of the first is considered
by the best lawyers of the state to be
unconstitutional; and the second is as
old as the constitution. which says
1.-THE rule of taxation shall be uniform.
