QUICKEST MURDER
 TRIAL ON RECORD In Less Than Three Hours Sel- ma Man Gets Death Sentence NOAH BALES A MURDERER He Was Convicted of Killing His Brothers Wife-several Items of
 Interest From the Central
 City Of Alabama.
NOAH BALES A MURDERE R

Selma, March 27.-(SpeciaD. .--One of the quickest murder cases perhaps, ever tried In this state was heard before Supernum- erary Judge Aston in the Circuit court here this evening. The case was that of the state against Noah Bates, who killed his brothers wife at her home near here about a year ago. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge at 24O o'clock, and immediately thereafter examination of witnesses began. By 5;S0 all witnesses had been examined the solicitor had made two speeches and both of the defendants lawyers had argued the case the jury had been out and returned a verdict of guilty in the first degree and fixed punishment at death.
 The case of John Dawson charged with the murder of Deputy Sheriff J. L. Ed wards about two years ago, went to the jury at Il o'clock this morning The argu- ment in the case was concluded yester- day afternoon and the time of the court this morning was occupied in charging the Jury. Judge Alston who is holding court this week, Judge Moore having once before set aside a verdict of hanging In this particular case, delivered one of the most comprehensive charges ever listened to by a jury. This case is one of more than ordinary interests Deputy Sheriff Ed wards having strong family connections all over the county. A plea for change of venue on this account was denied by Judge A1ston. While the charge was fair and a pure exposition of the law in the
 case 1t was the general consensus of opin- ion that 1t was practically general l charge for the defense If you believe the evidence you must acqut the defen- dant."
 Solicitor Quarles received a telegram
 this morning bringing the sad intelligence | of the death of his nephew which occurred 1 last night at Evergreen. The young man | whose name was Willie Crumpton, and was r years of age, was playing with a
 parlor rifle, which was accidentally dis | charged. causing his instant death. Judge Aston appointed Hon. R. H. Man | gum as special solicitor in the ease | against Noah Bates, which was taken up | as soon as the Dawson case went to the | jury.
 Strong Jury.
 What is perhaps the strongest jury in | point of personel that has been drawn in | Dallas county in a quarter of a century
 was empaneled today in the case of Noah l Bates. The following well known citizens | are on the jury and they are held up as l an object lesson of what sort of juries
 would always be drawn if the tax exemp- tion law was repealed: l.. w. Mosely, | w. J. Rountree, John F. Tate, J. II. Ali | son, E. C. Melsin. II. V. Ullman, M. W l Walker D. r. O'Rourke, E. Bracey Vaughan, A L. Bibb II. B. Kincey and | D. C. Russel.

NIGER IN THE WOOoTiLE
The biggest niger in the wood pile is
contained in the Irrigation bill. The
bill consists of a copy of an act OF Con-
gress containing nine very lengthy sec
tions, thirteen buncombs and volumin-
Gus whereases, a title six inches in
length of small print and twenty-three
sections Of the bill proper.
The author evidently thought that tn e
farmers would not take the trouble to
read it, or if they did, they would not
be able to understand it's provisions and
thus the bill would pass without oppo-
sition.
"Sec. 8. Such State Engineer shall
prepare for each stream in the State of
Nevada a list of the appropriations of
water according to priority, and in or

amount of land reclaimed or irrigated

wears. with the dates Of reclamation, and
the mount of land such ditch is capable
of irrigating. The character of the soil
and the kind of crops cultivated, and
such other facts as will show a compli-
anee with the law in acquiring the APP
preparation and the rank Of priority
claimed"
1t is well known that none but those
who have recently appropriated water
for irrigation can comply with the above
provisions, numbered herein from 3 to 8
inclusive. Many OF the old appropria-
tions have passed into the hands of pur-
chasers and the grantees are not pos
sessed of the information required. H.
ustration: A. made a valid appropria-
ton say 80 years ago and by mean con-
veyence, and after passing through the
hands of B. c and D., the title has lately
passed TO +. The grantors are dead or
have left the State. f, under oath, can-
not certify to the required facts relative
to the acts done by the several grantors
as be does not know them. He can only
certify to the facts that have come under
his own observation and as to his acts of
appropriation,
Hence F, who secured a water right
on the same stream even one day prior
to the purchase and use bv Z, may be
able to certify as required, so far as his
appropriation is concerned, and thus
the State Engineer will have to return
F, as a prior appropriation to E, although
Els right may in fact date years prior to
F's right.
Sec. 10 requires each claimant to GER
tify as required by Sec. 9, under oath.
Sec. IL provides that a failure of any
claimant to make such sworn statement
within 80 days after notice by the State
Engineer shall be punishable as a misde-
meanor.
The act provides hat the State Engi-
neer shall determine the priority of
rights from the statements made under
Sec. 9, end file a list thereof with the
county recorder, and Sec. IA provides,
in substance, that if any claimant don't
like the Engineers list, he may bring
suit to determine the priority of rights
as between him and any or all other
parties.
The object of the bill seems to be to
destroy present vested rights as far as
possible, and place all the waters in the
State open to new appropriations. Sec.
p authorizes the Secretary of the Inter
ior to bring suits in the Nevada courts
for the condemnation of any rights of
property he may deem necessary to carry
out the provisions of the said act Of
Congress.
THE LAWYERS OPINION.
l have interviewed several lawyers of
the State as they have appeared in Car
son. The unanimous opinion of them is
that if the bill passes it will cause such
= bonanza of litigation for the legal pro-
fessicn that, as a financial boom, Tono-
pah will not be in it.
