ma Vista ranch, 80 miles southeast
of here, returned a verdict that To-
ney's death was caused by a pistol
shot fired by Jerry Daley, and that
the killing was unjustifable. The
two men met at a gate in the rear
of the ranch-house, both armed, and
Daley seized the bridal OF a horse
from which another employe had
just dismounted. During the pro-
gress of the affray, the two men,
with the horse between them, made
their way up a hill for about IS
feet, where Toney threw his. empty
revolver at Daley, with theremark:
"You have got~me; shake hands. !"
He then walked to shed where he
died, his death resulting from bull
let wound in the right lung. The
men were employees of the same
company, but on two different
ranches, and had never met until
the day of the shooting. Daley is
unmarried; Toney left wife and
two children, now living at Lake
City, Cal.
Both men are we'll connected, To-
ny having been a nephew of Coun-
ty Judge W. A. Booth, of Prineville,
and Daley being a brother of John
D. Daley, president of the First Ma
tional Bank of Burns, and of the
National Bank at Ontario.
sSenator Joseph r. Hawley of Con-
necticut is becoming very feeble,
and it is apparent to his friends
that he will hardly be able to serve
out his present term, which expires
March 8, 1906. He is now in his
77th year-which is not old for a
senator-but he does not carry his
years as we'll as some of his COL
leagues. Morgan, for example, is
| rs. and is as valient as ever, while
Pettus of Alaba ma is in his SD
year, and there is not a brighter
mind or hardly a frmer step in the
senate than his.
But Senator Hawley takes life
more hardly, and has, grown old
more rapidly. He looks out through
green spectaoles, and has become
splenetic and grabbed. For more
than year his colleagues have had
great difficulty in getting along
VITA him, and he is treated with as
much consideration as if he we're
small child; his whims are humor-
ed and bis outbursts of temper are
| ignored. But in physical way
Senator Hawley is rapidly declin-
ing. He totters about the senate,
clinging to the sides of the desks,
poking in and out from the cloak
room, without any apparent pur-
pose, and hardly able to keep track
of roll calls and answer toh his name.
| 1t is the universal sentiment a.
morg his colleagues that he should
retire and take the much-needed
rest to which his long and honora-
BILE services entitle him. He has
been in the senate now more than
20 years, and in congress about 80.
He has been governor Of this state,
brilliant soldier during the civil
war, and welded great influence as
editor of the Hartford Courant. But
he belongs to another generation
and is adding nothing to his laurels.

by merely touching it to his lips.
He can tell the denomination of
money in this manner. His nurses
provided him with a number of
playthings, among them two tops,
exactly alike. He called them
"Tom and jerry" and could tell
which was Tom and which jerry

tact with them, although nobody
else could tell them apart. Anoth-
