When we had gone about twelve miles some
of us began TO get hungry. and you may

the lunch had been left behind. Some were
in favor of going right back for 1t. We had
left at that morning and would not reach
our destination until 10 o'clock that night

The prospects for getting something to
eat didn't look very bright. L had two one

FIXTURE of Thomas Gather Is
Placed With Twelve Men
This Afternoon
WAS GATHER INTOXICATED
That is the Principal Question That Is
Being Discussed In the Argument
Defense Claims He Was, and Unac-
coun.abie For His Acknowledgement
Case Tomorrow.

The future of Thomas Gather, who
has been on trial in the district court
on charge of assault with intent to
commit murder in having assaulted
James II. Ellis. with knife on the
morning of June 1, 1902 Is in the hands
of jury of twelve men, who have been
listening to the evidence. The s,ate's
argument was commenced Saturday
afternoon, and directly after II o'clock,
when the jury assembled. the argument
for the defense began. The state con-
cluded Its argument this afternoon, af-
ter the counsel for the defense had
concluded, and the case went to the
jury at about o'clock.
The principal point raised in the
arguments Is the mental condition of
the defendant at the time the assault
was made. The state has shown by
its evidence that the defendant was not
intoxicated and the burden of proof
ilsdS ldio WIN tuG uSlGHSS, To ESTABLISH
what it has maintained, that he was in
toxicated, and not mentally responsible
for what he did. The state has shown
that ,the defendant deliberately made
the assault, and that he went and
bought the knife with which he cut
Ellis. after having been ordered out of
the saloon. The state considers that
1t has a stronger case than when the
action was tried at the November term
IA year ago.
Carmean Case Tomorrow.
The case of N. A. Carmean. on a
charge of embezzlement, will begin to-
morrow morning. The case was set for
today, but on account of the Gather
case 1t was postponed, and the wit
nesses were excused until Tuesday
morning at 9 o'clock. A large number
OF witnesses has been subpoenaed, In
Guiding all OF the former travelling
statesmen OF the company. Mr.. Carmean
arrived from California Saturday.
Other State Cases.
The case of state VS.. George Living
stone, charged with assault with intent
to commit murder, has been dismissed
by the state. and stricken from the
docket. The jury disagreed in the last
trial and the state considers that Its
case is not very strong.
A motion for a continuance In the
case of state VS.. Maud Slower was over
ruled by Judge Burnham this morning.
The defendant has filed the certificate
OF a physician, showing that she Is Ill,
and not able to stand trial. 1t is likely
her bond Of $500 will be forfeited.
