It will be seen from the above
statement that it will take very
long time to build up a public IL
brary out of the actual income
from fines. AS the Library is en-
tirely free to all patrons there is no
resource for the buying of new
books. The Ladies Auxiliary has
organized Library Association
for this purpose. 1t is hoped that
every book lover and every one in
terested in the welfare of the Lii
brary will feel it their duty to help
in some way no matter how small.
There is no expense for rent, fuel,
light, janitor or librarian so every
cent contributed will 60 directly
into books. Remember all do
nations intended for the library
must be SO designated. Any Con.
tributions not otherwise designated
goes into the general fund Of the
Y. NJ. C. A. and expended when.
ever the board of directors deem
best. A ticket in the library AS
sociation is wholly voluntary as
the library is free to the general
public and not restricted to mem.
bers. The object of the member.
ship is to solicit funds for new
books. The holder of a ticket
gives the bearer the privilege o.
naming one book to be purchased
with the money, and entities thu
exclusive use of new books fol
three months after their arrival il
the Library.

Operation Ended Fatally

William Storz died in this city
yesterday from the effects of an
operation performed several weeks
ago. About four years ago Storz,
while trying to eject a drunken
man from a building in Elk City,
was struck on the head with some
blunt instrument fracturing his
skull. He never fully recovered
from the blow and in time the
suffering from the pressure of the
fractured bone upon the brain be-
came unbearable and he decided
to have an operation performed al.
though physicians advised him
that the result would be uncertain
The deceased was about 40
years old and unmarried. He was
sober and industrious and had many
friends where he was known. The
funeral was held at 9 O'Clock this
afternoon, the services were con
Quoted by the Odd Fellows Lodge
of which he was a member.

greater portion Of the winter. He
also made trip east to confer with
parties who with himself have
large mining interests in the Hump.
He reports that the good returns

heretofore only had the assessment

The Haywood Case
CONTINUED from fifth page.)

find was in 1862, about the beginning OF
the wal. Does he not know that the
Aaron Burr case has been overruled by
the Jefferson Davis case; IN Burr's case,
Judge Marshall following the rule, says,
nave not known bail to be applied for
in such cases. In Davis case the court
said he was entitled to bail, because from
the evidence adduced in this case as shown
10y his public acts as President OF the
Confederate States Of America, it failed
to find that, as a matter OF law, he was
guilty of treason, though he has been IN
dicted by a grand jury. Did you know
that overruled Burr's case? The cases
that he states ave been bundled up and
filed away among the records OF old us
ages and curious antiquities. The States
counsel might be held guilty of conspiracy
to produce d legal revolution. AS l I'M
derstand, Judge Brown now has an APP
plication for bail under advisement IN
a case in which five or six men in the
town of Wilson broke in a room and slew
d man; my brother Woodland appears as
one of the leading counsel for the peti-
TONERS in that case. So their contention
is not only not sustained by legal pre-
cepts, but it is not sustained by example
the example OF my brother Woodland
Now we say that a rule of proof has been
prescribed by the court and have shown
it by citations to the Encyclopedia of
Law and Practice 3, PIP. 64-67, and the
Encyclopedia Of Law 3, pp. 669-673. From
these authorities it appears that You have
the nower to admit to bail in your dis
c~retioh, which is a legal discretion under
section 1914 of The Code, which I have
already read to your Honors.
Now what degree of proof would you
require in order to admit to bail? I'm
der HerndOn's case a presumption arises
in favor Of the action Of the grand jury:
they say l am not right as to the pre-
sumption. l stale what Mr.. Thayer says
in his preliminary Treatise on Evidence,
who is, l believe, the most philosophical
writer upon evidence. l cite you also what
the 10Th edition of Greenleaf says: Green.
Ev. /, p. 1O2. Now here is what they
say:
Presumption is neither evidence, nor
proof, but is merely assumption a tax
ing for granted, an admission for the
purpos OF argument. In other words it
is simply a rule, which determines Who
shaE begin proof.
The essential character and operation
of prescriptions, is to throw upon the
party against whom they work, the duty
of going forward with the evidence.
1T is one of the commonest errors TO
misapprehend the scope and limitations
of ordinary rules and maxims of pre-
sumptions. They arc, as we have seen,
merely prima facie precepts. and they
presuppose only certain specific and ex-
pressed fact: and if they be such rs have
evidential bearing they make the pre-
sumption inapplicable. All is then turned
into an ordinary question of evidence. and
the two or three general facts presup-
posed in the rule of presumption take
