residence $40 Clementina street, in
the city and county of San Francis
co, came to his death in the Ger
man hospital on the 25th day of
August, 1908, from arsenieal pois-

ed death was procured upon forg-
ed prescription written by his wife,
Mrs. Martha E. Bowers, and that
we hereby charge said Mrs. Martha

der. .F-,.s 4.
"We further find that Mrs. q. c..
Sutton, sister of said Martha E.
Bowers, procured the poison upon
the forged prescription written by
her sister, Mrs. Martha E. Bowers,
but wedo not feel justified from the
evidence submitted to the jury in
charging Mrs. 2. G. Sutton as
principal, but recommend that said
Mrs. Z. G.. Sutton be compelled to
stand trial as accessory to the
crime"
Such was the verdict returned by

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. An
unknown negro, caught in the act
of strangling Mrs. Margaret Ge-
rhan, a white woman, in her home
at Armourda1e, Kan, a suburb, this
afternoon, escaped to the Kansas
river, where he drowned himself
rather than run the chances of be-
ing lynched, a crowd having chas-
ed him to the bank of the stream.
The woman was seriously hurt but
will recover.
Mrs. Gerhan is a widow 45 years
of age. Her husband who was a
packing.house emp1oye, and her
son we're drowned in the June flood,
and she lives alone. The negro,
aged 80, called at the house about
noon, and entering stealthily locked
himself in. He surprised Mrs. Ge-
rhan at her work and demanded
her money. When she insisted that
there was none about the house, the
negro threatend to kill her and seiz-
Ing her by the throat began chok-
ing her.
Neighboring women brokeinto the
house after Mrs. Gerhan had been
in the negro's power for three hours,
and found him standing over the
PROSTATE woman sinking his fingers
into her throat. The negro hurried
from the house and ran to the Kan
sas river, two blocks distant, where
he hired boat and ordered the
owner to row quickly to the Mis-
souri, side. When the boat reached
mid stream, crowd of excited men
and boys had gathered at the bank
and shouted to the owner of the
boat to return to shore. He started
to do 80, when the negro stood up

II have lived too long to die at the
end of the rope" dived into the wa
ter. He drowned before the spot
could be reached, and his body dis

the straightjacket when the leaders
Of the prison gang offer any occa-
sion for the punishment, is the only
thing that will have any effect, and
in that conclusion he ia backed up
by the opinion of the prison direc-
tors.
The straighsiacket for James
Roberts, the convict who was recap
tured near DAvisville on August
5 b is an order that has been re-
fractory since his return, and he is
about as thoroughly scared a man
as ever wore the Folsom stripes.
The use of the straightjacket is ex-
pected to induce him to tell new se.
crets, tor there is great deal yet
to be learned about the plot of the
outbreak. Roberts is not expected
to hold out very long under. the tor
ture, and in that way the prison Of
6cers may succeed in learning
something about the origin and the
concealment places of the weapons
and bow possessed by the prisoners.
The straightjacket is now being
made for Roberts, who, although
mainly very much frightened, went
through the ordeal of being meas
ured for it without giving up any of
the information demanded of him..
Hall, so far as can be learned on
the outside, has thus far refused to
tell where he got the knife that was
found on him, and Burke is under
going punishment with as little ef-
feet. But the straightjacket is a
device noted for its staying quail
ties and it has finally broken down.

criminal.
DR.. Benjamin A. Plant, the pris-
on surgeon. who Is said to have
sought safety in a guard tower at
the time of the outbreak. has re-
signed his position and he departed
from Folsom this morning.

Silver Again Advances.

The gradual rise in the price of silver
amounts to a little more than 4 cents,
since July LIST of the present year, and
is attracting attention and comment of
an interesting nature throughout the
West. On a production of 10000 0
ounces per month, the rise of only 4
cents means an increase in the pockets
of miners and producers of $40. 900 over
the amount the same million ounces
would net them prior to July LIST. The
one essential lacking, is assurance that
the advance will be permanent, or that
there may be further advances, even if
only a few cents more, to change a Ger.
tain grade of mining properties from
prospects to producers, and for this rea.
son the market will be watched with
keen interest by mining men in general.

TRIBUTE TO HENRY KENDALL.
John ii. Dennis Eulogizes His Former
Friend.

A recent issue of the Reno Journal
contains the following from the pen Of
Mr.. Dennis, q former Eurekan, who was
well acquainted with Henry Kendall:
Old time Eurekans will learn wit b
regret of the death of Henry Kendall,
better known as Little Hank the
Butcher" He was found dead in his
bed last Monday morning, having prob
ably died from heart failure. He was
rs years Of age and up to a few years
ago did the butchering in a slaughter
house in Eureka, and when past the
palmist's limit could handle a quarter
of beef as easily as a man of twice his
size and half his age. He came to Eu-
reka in 1869 and resided there continu-
ously from that time until his death.
He was a general favorite and was
noted for his quaint sayings and jovial
disposition. 1t vas one of his boasts,
and one of his truthful ones, that in his
boyhood days he toted this Journal
scribe around in a baby wagon. He
was generous to a fault, a steadfast
friend and Notwithstanding his weak
nesses was a man in every inch of his
limited stature. Although he had prob
ably never seen the inside of a church
for more than half a century, we con
fidently believe that his account on the
books of the Recording Angel was
favorable enough to insure him a rest
full home and a peaceful eternity in the
realm beyond the skies. May the sod
rest lightly on his breast in the grave
so far away from the place of his ma
tivity and the home of all his kindred
that survive him ON this terrestrial
sphere.

siderable sum of money and some valua-
BILE diamonds, had been lost out of the

AS it was not known how far back
they would have to return to pick up
the lost satchel, Mrs. Cleveland decided
to continue her journey and arranged
to have Mr.. Haworth forward the
satchel on to Ely by a messenger if the
valuables could be found. Haworth
discovered the lost satchel about four
miles north of Moorman's and sent
Tom Rosevear ON to Ely with it by
Wednesday nights stage.

DUCK HORSES STOLEN
Eight Head of Joe Tognoni's Work
Animals Taken.

Eight head of horses and one mule
were stolen from the inclosed pasture
of J. o. Tognoni at Duckwater, Nye
County, Nevada. on Tuesday night,
Aug. Is. MI. Tognoni at once started
out with three Indian t~railers to follow
and capture the stolen stock. He sent
a messenger into Eureka Friday with a
description of the stolen stock, which
was telegraphed to Tonopah, Sodaville,
Elko and other points along the rail-
road, and offered a reward of 800 for
the return Of the animals. The descrip-
ton of the animals and reward offered
appear in this issue of the SENTINEL.
Sheriff Burdick of Eureka received a
telegram on Tuesday of this week, stat
ing that a man had been arrested at
S~odaville, sixty miles west of Tonopah,
charged with stealing the missing ami
mails. The telegram asked that a war
rant be telegraphed at once. but said
nothing about the horses or gave any
particulars. 1t is thought that Tognoni

COUNTY HOSPITAL IMPROVED
Buildings Renovated and Rooms Re-
Papered and Grained.

The work of improving the County
Hospital buildings, under the direction
OF T. II. HUI, has been completed, and
is a permanent and pleasing addition to
the working of the county institution.
In all about ten rooms. including cor.
ridor, bath room, kitchen, dining room
and pantry have been ~remodelled, var.
nished and grained.
The floors have been painted and the
w~ainscottings in the dining room and
DIR. Burnett's Office and surgery have
been vanished and grained in white
oak finish. The wallpaper designs in
all the rooms are most pleasing, and
are contemplated with much pleasure
by hospital inmates.
Mrs. Ferrell. the matron, now re-
Joices in the possession of a pantry and
kitchen that is neatly fashioned and
in every way wholesome, both to the
eye and olfactories.
The brick cellar has been boarded and
rooted in workmanlike shape, the inter-
vening wall and roof spaces filled, so
that the storage capacity is much i'm
proved and affords greater protection
alike against the heat Of Summer and
SHOWS of Winter.
The walls of the bathroom have been
lined and covered with oil cloth, which
Is impervious to steam from the water
heater. A new coal heating stove has
been placed In the main sitting room.
