1Suhd qua, l.
Dear Sir: We suspect you'd like the
tale, how woman beat two hardware
dealers in Girard, Pa.
We tried our best to get those men to
sell Devoe lead-and-zinc in that bright
town; and failed. Reluctantly took Mrs.
f. X. Bowman, druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for
more than Sl.25 gallon. Mrs. Bowman
can. She has sold about all the paint
that has been sold there since.
She knew Devoe had sold our artists
materials. Had some sense and force,
besides; she easily learned that cheap is
dear in paint, and told the people.
Mr.. Burt Young bought a gallon De-
voc for rooms that had always taken a
gallon; had half left.
Mr.. f. Ii. Hiler, jeweler, painted De-
voc, and says it goes further-no parti-
culars.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer thought it
expensive before he bought it brought
back nearly half of his paint, and said
it was the cheapest job he ever had
Mrs. Bowman reports universal salts
faction. So much for a cheap-paint
town with bright woman in it.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & CO.,
New York.

the exact spot on which the office chair
of agent Reeve has for so many years

on top of the concrete pier and pay off
or ask them to wait until the new sta
ton is built.

According to the latest news from
Mexico, that sister republic of ours is
booming as never before. 1t is better
to hear the booming of land companies
and mining syndicates than that of
cannon, such as erstwhile saluted the
ears of people in that land Of pro
nunciamentos" and revolutions. Since
Don Porfirio Diaz came in for good,
however, and seated himself firmly in
the saddle some twenty years ago
things have changed in Mexico.
There are rumors of an immense syn
dictate just formed for purchasing lands
In Sonora, chihuahua and Sinaloa ag-
gregating some 100000 acres, about
100000 of which are owned by the
Mexican government. If this land Is
like the average in northern and I'M
irrigated Mexico 1t will take a good
deal Of it to make an acre. But that Is
nothing SO long as Senior Don Juan P.
Morgan is behind the scheme, as he is
reported to be.

GETS LONG TERM
P. j. Murphy Given Fifteen Years *o'
Robbery.

Seattle.-Patrick J. Murphy VINO
was convicted of robbery in the GRIM
inal department of the superior conr''
was sentenced by Jude Bell TO serve
fifteen years in the penitentiary at
Walla Walla. Murphy's counsel made
al extended plea to the court to grant
his client clemency, as 1t was the
first offense that he had ever commit
ted. In passing sentence, Judge Bell
said
THE testimony brought out at the
trial of this man shows that he, IN
company with two others, went around
the town drinking with a man and
when that man was fully intoxicated
they took him into an alley, and after
beating him inIo Inconsistencies,
robbed him. If this defendant had
been armed l would have imposed the
full penalty fixed by law for this
crime-that is twenty years.
Il do not know whether severe SEN
fences will relieve the community or
the highwaymen that have been terro-
rizing the people but l do intend to try
the experiment. Any person convict
ed of committing robbery with dan
gerOuS weapons in his possession Will
receive the extreme sentence by law,
unless peculiar circumstances would
make the imposition of such a sen
tence an injustice. Ordinarily, no len
iency will be shown by this court to
highWaymen who are convicted by a
jury after a fair trial.
This defendant did not use or have
! in his possession any dangerous weap-
Ons at the time he committed this
robbery. He is guilty of what is
known as a strong arm hOld-up.
| therefore will sentence him to serve
| Is years in the penitentiary at Walla
| Walla."
+. J. Murphy, together with John
Kelly and James Kelly, were accused
of leading a drunken companion, Hen
ry Anderson, into an alley between
| 1tSltl way anu " dSuluSlOH otlCCt
and after beating him into insensi
bility robbed him of 500.
John Kelly was tried first and con
victed On the following day Murphy
was convicted Of the same crime. Al
his trial. he testified that he mad
never seen Anderson and on the day
of the robbery was in San Francisco
The jury spent less than five minutes
in finding him guilty. Three days af
forwards James Kelly was put or
trial. At this trial, Murphy took the
stand in behalf OF the defendant anC
testified that he and two Other
men named Henderson and Thomas
committed the crime. He denied hat
either of the Kelly's were with him
or knew anything of the crime. He
stated that he never saw John Kelly
| in his life. and James Kelly he knew
| but slightly. Despite this aueget
confession, the jury after twenty-nine
hours deliberation found Kelly
guilty.

M'CLANAnAM HELD.

A special to the Oregonian from
Salem says:
Justice of the Peace E. D. .HOrgan
today held Edward McClanahan, OF
Portland, to answer in the circuit
court on the charge Of destroying
property. Bail was fixed at 500,
which was furnished. The offense
with which McClanahan is charged is
that last July he refused 10 stop in
automobile which he was operating
near this city and that as a Conse-
ouence a horse which he met was
scared to death and a buggy demO}ish-
ed. Considerable interest is being
taken in the case, for by the decision
in the circuit court it will be deter
mined whether a driver of an auto
mobile is obliged to slacken his speed
or stop his machine when he meets
horses that are frightened and are
trying to run away. In this instance
the testimony was to the effect that
the owner of the horse stopped and
held his animal by the bride, and sig
nailed McClanahan to stop, but the
latter continued at the same speed,
with the disastrous result stated
above.
The case will come up at the term
of the circuit court on the second
Monday in October.
