ROBERTS GETS DELAY.
But Court Denies Writ Of Habeas
Corpus.

Tacoma.-Judge Smell has denied
the petition of George Roberts for a
writ of habeas corpus. He is wanted
in California to answer a charge OF
grand larceny for taking $50 from one
Perry.
Attorney Crotty, counsel for the
prisoner, gave notice Of appeal and
asked that the defendant be not re-
manded to the custody of the agent
Detective Ryan of San Francisco
that they might have time to file their
appeal bond.
The application for the writ Of ha-
beas corpus was based on two
grounds:
First-That under the revised
statutes of the United States, section
527S, no eXtraditiOn can issue based
upon an information.
Second-That under the law of Cal
ifOrnia there was no authority for the
district attorney of the county of San
Francisco 10 file an information
charging the petitioner with any
crime, for the reason that he had
not been accorded a preliminary eX-
animation and was not bound over to
answer the charge of grand larceny,
as provided in the constitution of
that state.
Judge Smell said in effect that the
federal decisions sustain the conten-
ton of the petitioner as to the first
ground of his contention.
Recall Old Case.
The doctrine was first announced in
the United States circuit court in Bal
| timore, Nd, in an application for a
writ of habeas corpus made by
Banker Hart, formerly of Buckley, in
this county, for his discharge from
The custody of Sheriff Mathews, who
had HIM under arrest by virtue of a
warrant based on an information filed
| in the superior court of Pierce
county, filed by Judge Smell when he
was prosecuting attorney some ten
FEARS ago.
The federal court discharged Hart
holding that the eXtraditiOn would
not lie under the provisions Of the
United States statutes above quoted
where the crime charged is by infor-
| nation and not by Indictment That
| IS the established law of the federal
| courts today.
Rule of State Courts.
The state courts have refused to
tollow that decision, and eXtradition
| ?as been granted in a number OF
| state to return fugitives to answer
| charges pending in court, based on
Information by prosecuting attorneys
| The supreme courts of Nebraska
| Wisconsin and Iowa have all sustain
ed this last doctrine" said Judge
Smell, "and | feel disposed to follow
he line Of authority adopted by the
| state courts. 1t is more consonan1
| With reason and justice.
| IF an information is sufficient tt
| ut man on trial and deprive him OF
lis liberty and even of his life, i,

aston Of his constitutional rights tC

No Merit in Other Point.
| AS to the other contention of the
| etition | regard it as more of the
AZURE of an application to quash the
information and that argument could

curt in California, but has no sub.

Faithful Dad.

We happened in a home the other
night and over the parlor door saw the
legend worked in letters of red: what
Is home without mother?" Across the
room was another brief 'God bies9 our
home"
Now, what's the matter with "God
bless our dad?" He gets up early, lights
the fire, boilsan egg. grabs his dinner
pail and wipes off the,asA Of tt4AAss-ed.swn
with his boots while many mother is
sleeping. He makes the weekly hand
out for the butcher, the grocer, the
milkman and banker, and his little pile
is badly worn before he has been home
an hour. He stands off the baiiif and
keeps the rent paid up.
If there is a noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made to
go downstairs to find the burglar and
kill him. Mother darns the socks in the
first place and the needles and the yarn
afterward. Mother does up the fruit;
well, dad bought it all, and jars and
sugar cost like the mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sunday
dinner, carves them himself and draws
the neck from the ruins after everyone
else is served. "What is home without
a mother?" Yes, that is all right, but
what is home without father? Ten
chances to one it is a boarding house,
father is under slab and tbe landIady
is the widow. Dad, here's to you;
you've got your faults-7sou may have
lots of 'em-but you're all right, and we
will miss you when you're gone. Cedar

Cole Younger Finally pardoned.

Coleman Younger, survivor of the
three brothers who were sentenced to
life imprisonment because of connec-
ton with the bank robbery and murder
at Northfeld, Mimi, in 1875, was last
week granted a full pardon by the state
board of pardons on condition that he
promise never to place himself on exhi-
bltion and that he leave the state of
Minnesota, never to return voluntarily.
The youngest brother, Bob, died in the
penitentiary ten years ago of consump.
ton. Nearly two years ago Coleman
and James were paroled, under the
terms of new law enacted for their
special benefit. Last fall, discouraged
by poor health and his inability under
the law to marry the woman of his
choice, Jim shot himself in his room in
this city. Coles friends some time ago
sought his full pardon, but their petit
ton was denied. Recently he filed a
petition on his own behalf and this has
now been granted.

MORTUARY.
Mrs. Samuel Meter.

ing, Feb. /, 1903, aged IS years, 8
months and ! day.
November 10, 1861 she was married to
Samuel Higgins, whose death occurred
ten years later. In the year 1866 they
adopted an infant child, George Kruse,
who grew to manhood and is now a
travelling salesman in New York.
On August 25, 1875 she was united in
marriage to VIM. A. Ross, of Washing
ton, ILL.,, and with him moved to Iowa
and settled near Garden Grove, March
Is, 1888. When she entered the home
OF Mr.. Ross his son Arthur was but 13
years old and to him she proved low
ing mother. Mr.. Ross died October Is,
1885. She remained on her farm north
of town until August 5, 1890 when she
was joined in holy wedlock to Samuel
Meter, with whom she lived in the en-.
joyment of domestic happiness until her
death.
The home of sister Meter was always
opened to be blessing to others. In
the year 1879, at the age of ten Miss
Lois Royal came to make her home
with her. From 1887 until her death
her home was the home of her mother,
Mrs. Rebecca Kelso, and also Thomas
Royal until his death.
At the time she came into Mr.. Me-
tiers home his son Pearl WAS Is years
old. 1t will thus be seen that she has
faithfully enacted the part OF mother to
five children for whom she had the
most sincere mother.love.
Sister Meter was devoted christian,

mo TRACE OF BUNNEY.
Letter Received from Wife of Miss
ing California Treasurer
Murder Suspected.

| Mr.. Ed Flora, of Davis City, has kind
ly shown us letter received by l.. A.
Brown from his sister, Mrs. w. T. Bun
ney, of independence, California, whose
husband, the county treasurer OF Inyo
county, mysteriously disappeared from
Reno, Neyada, on Christmas night, Civ
ing the particulars Of his disappearance.
Mr.. Bunney left home week before
Christmas and went to Sacramento to
make his semi.annual settlement with
the state treasurer, taking with him
$9,O36 of the county funds. At Sacra.
mento the state treasure. refused to re.
ceive ST 1886 of the money on account of
MIR. Bunney not having made out a
duplicate receipt and the state treasur-
er told him to take the money back
home with him and he could include it
in his next settlement. He started
home and stopped off at Reno, Nevada,
where he visited friend Who formerly
lived at Independence. Christmas day
they drove out in the country to look
at some fine cattle and Mr.. Bunney in
tended to start home the next morn
ing. His friend went to the train to say
good bye to him, but he was not at the
depot and the friend supposed he had
missed the train. After leaving his
friends home Christmas night all trace
of Bunney was lost. His trunk and a
number Of presents he had bought were
found at his lodging place in Reno and
it is feared he was murdered and his
body thrown into the river. Mrs. Bun.
ney had an expert from San Francisco
open the county vault and everything
was found in good shape except the
$l236 which Mr.. Bunney had with him.
Mrs. Bunney paid this amount to the
county and also the expenses of the safe
expert, about ST. ,44O all told. Detect.
ives were employed but they have found
no clew of him whatever and it is the
general belief that he has been muir.

his absence and is nearly crazy over the
affair, believing he has been murdered.
Mr.. Bunney was a brother of A. g. Bun.
ney, the Garden Grove hardware mer.

Brown and Ed Flora, of Davis City. He
was q popular man, member of the

ADAMS EXPRESS co. MULCT.
Must Pay $1,000 for Selling Liz.
uor at Sidney.

In the district court at Sidney last
week Mrs. Vera Chambers, of Bartlett,
secured verdict for $4,000 against the
Adams Express Co. for selling liquor to
her husband, Charles E. Chambers,
which she alleges was the cause of his
death on the night of April 25, 1902, he
being killed by passing train.
This is an entirely new phase of the
whiskey fight, says the Mills County
Tribune. When the suit was brought
last summer it attracted much attention
as it involved the possible responsibility
OF express companies in the handling
and shipping OF liquors. There is little
doubt but that the Adams company will
appeal this case to the supreme court as
the decision Of the upper court will
likely stand as precedent in similar
suits that might be instituted. United
States District Judge Smith Mcpherson
in recent ruling held that express
companies were only common carriers
and not agents in the matter of hand
ling liquors and were, therefore, not
compelled to take out retail govern
ment llcense-a decision that would
seem to be at variance with the finding
OF the Fremont county jury.
Speaking of the trial the Sidney Her
aid says: "It was clearly shown by the
express company's books, kept by the
K. q. agent at Bartlett, that Chambers
had at very short intervals of time for
several weeks before his death received
liquor brought to Bartlett by the Adams
company, and also that at the time of
his death he was under the influence of
such liquor, and on these grounds the
wife brought suit through her attorney,
NV. E. Mitchell, in the sum of two thou.
sand dollars"

They Remind Us.

The way some of our most brilliant at.
torneys are manipulating difficult court
cases reminds one of the old story of
the devil and the lawyers, (and especial
ly the last two verses) which is as fol-
lows:
The devil came up to the earth one day
And into court house wended his way,
Just as an attorney with very grave face
Was proceeding to argue the points in a case,
Now lawyer his devllship never had seen
(For to his dominion none ever had been);
He felt very curious the reason to know
Why none had been sent to the regions
below.
thought,
caught.
And for his own pleasure he had desire
To come to the earth and the reason INQUIRE
Well the lawyer who rose with visage so
grave
Made out his opponent a consummate knave,
And the doyll surely was greatly amused
To see the attorney so greatly abused.
AS soon as the speaker had come to Il close
The council opposing him hercely arose
And heaped such abuse the head of the first
That made HIM a villain-of all men the worst.
Thus they quarrelled and conterded and ar.
gued so long
Twas hard 10 determine the one that was
wrong.
And concluding he had heard quite enough of
the fuss
Old Nick turned away and soiiloquzed thus:
If all they have SAID of each other be true
The deyil has surely been robbed Of his due,
But I'm satisfied now Ills all very well,
For these lawyers would luin the morals CT
hell.
They have puzzled the court with their vii
famous cayil
And I'm free to confess they have muGdled
the devil;
My agents are right to let lawyers alone,
For if ad them there they'd swindle out
Of my throne.
