Oftener has man been prose-

turned many a criminal loose and

The jury in the case of the state
VS. Pete Ladeaux is entitled to
much credit in refusing to consider
the story concocted by the defense
as plausible that Ladeaux had
nothing to do with the stealing of
Mr.. Ayers horses, and laying the
blame al upon Frank Morrison,
who is now in the reform school
for another theft and upon whom
the defense tried to unload the
responsibility by showing that it
was Morrison who gave the bill of
sale to Macumber at Brocksburg.
It was Macumber's testimony to
such effect but he did not wish to
implicate himself in the case,
consequently he could not clear
Pete LadeauX of completely in the
stealing of the horses. There are
people here who believe that Ma
caumber was implicated in this
theft by receiving stolen property.
People have expressed to us that
they believed that Macumber
knew the horses were stolen and
took a bill of sale of them from
Morrison to clear him. Do our
stock buyers require bill Of sale
when : they buy mans cattle or
horsesH No, not one time in TWEEN
ty. Though there is no harm in
giving or receiving a bill of sale,
it seems that in this case there was
enough other grounds for suspic-
ion of Macumber's being guilty of
receiving stolen property know
ingly, or at least that he could
easily believe that no sane or SEN
sible person would have that class
of horses for sale at such ridic-
ulously low price, and again, Ma
cumber testified to having known
Pete Ladeaux. consequently he
must have known his reputation,
or had some deal fixed to receive
or .urchase horses that these fell
lows would bring him. LadeauX
and Morrison stole 81 head-22
head of horses and 8 head of mules
of J. r. Ayers near Crookston,
Oct. 10. 1903 and drove them
away. On the 18th they sold a
part of this herd to Macumber and
DiIlman at Brocksburg. Pete La
deaux was seen near Crookston be-
fore the horses were taken and
wa. with Morrison at Brocksburg
and helped to show the horses and
was apparently in charge of them
with Morrison. If Macumber was
innocent of any connection with
the disposal of these horses he most
certainly left the impression with
som, who heard the testimony that
he knew more than he cared to tell
In the case. When it became evil
dent that LadeauX would be sent
to the pen, another witness was.
willing to volunteer more informa-
ton than he was willing to divuigc

deaux's friends will have money
to carry the case up to the supreme
court as many others have done.
They did not dig up for bis trial
in this court. Cherry county paid

ty also pays the lawyer for his de-

Death of MIR. N. NJ. Norwood.

Mr.. Nat NJ. Norwood, Henderson's
Oldest resident, died at his home in
this place at II o'clock Tuesday
night. He had been sick three or
four weeks and his death was not I'M
expected. Mr. Norwood was in many
respects remarkable man. He was
90 years old, having been born in
1912, in Granville county. He re-
moved to Warrenton and for many
years was a resident of that place.
From there he came to Henderson
and had since made his home here.
Upto a few months ago Mr.. Norwood
was an unusually active man for his
age and persisted in doing outdoor
work requiring the strength and ac-
tivity of much younger years. He
leaves large family connection,
Mr.. VIM. j. Norwood, of Warrenton,
being his son.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence at II o'clock this morning, the
burial taking place at the cemetery
Rev. T. J. Taylor, pastor of the War
renton Baptist church, of which de-
ceased had for many years been a
member, conducted the service.

GETTING Ready for Business.

Mr.. George a. Rose returned Tues
day morning from the Northern
markets where he went to buy goods
as announced in the GOLD LEAF. He
tells US he bought a big stock and
bought them right. Those who know
Mr.. Rose do not need to be assured
as to the character of his selections.
He is an experienced merchant whose
good judgement and discriminating
taste both as to quality and value
OF an article are always displayed to
best advantage in his purchases.
They are busy opening up their
goods and as soon as everything is
gotten in shape The George A. Rose
Company's store viii! be one OF the
most attractive and inviting places
in town. And that it will be likewise
popular those who know Mr.. Rose
may not doubt. AS heretofore stated
he will have among his sales people
Mr. J. S. Owen, of South Boston, Va,
Miss Mamie Moore and Misses Matte
and Kate Davis. Mr.. Owen will have
charge of the dry goods department.
He has had long experience in the
business and is a specialistin his line.
The George A. Rose Company will
occupy the store room under Cooper
Opera House.

Small Pox Again.

Small pox has again broken out in
our midst. There have been several
cases but no deaths. The situation
is not alarming although it is reason
able to expect that other cases will
develop. There has been some excite
ment on account of exaggerated re-
ports and the prevalence of measles.
Several cases of small poX have been
reported when the cases proved to be
nothing but measles. The cases that
were removed to the pest house are
getting on all right, and there have
been no further Developments where
quarantine was established. In the
mean time the people are being vacci-
mated and every necessary precaution
is being taken to prevent a further
spread of the disease.
The thing todois to bevaccinated,
keep a cool head, go on about your
business, do not unnecessarily eX-
pose yourself, and there is little dan
ger of contracting the disease.

Both Good Men.

The subject of who among the bust
ness men and firms of Henderson has
been in business the longest without
any change in the firm having
come up, it was said that Mr.. Henry
Thomson could claim that distinc-
ton, he having a record of Is years
to his credit. Further enquiry, how
ever, developed the fact that Mr..
Edwin Stephens goes him 5 better.
He has been in business here 20 years
without having undergone any
change or proprietary interest in the
firm. Both good men and the wish
OF the GOLD LEAF is that they may
enjoy an unbroken and successful
business career many more years to
come.
And while on this subject the GOLD
LEAF believes it has right to claim
some Distinction for itself. 1t has not
only been in business a good long
time under the same management,
but much of the time it has been alb

Fire Thursday Niqht.

About 10 O'Clock Thursday night
the house occupied by Policeman
Oh Breckenridge street,
near the cemetery, was discovered to
be on fire. Tie alarm was given but
before the fire companies could reach
the scene the fire had made such
Roadway that itcould not be checked.
The building was burned, together
with the greater portion of it's con-
tents. Mr.. Bradford was up town on
duty at the time and his family had
to lie aroused by one OF the neighbors
who discovered the fire. They had a
narrow escape and but little OF the
effects could be saved. The building
was a small tenement and belonged
to Mr.. J. r. Young.

Damon ard PYthias.

One OF the sterling attractions Of
the season is f. R. Hallam's sumptu-
Gus revival of Damon and Pythias,"
and playgoers will be pleased to hear
that it will be seen at Cooper Opera
House on Saturday evening next,
March 9TH. There are some plays
that never grow old and damon
and Pythias' belongs to this class.
The story is of such absorbing inter-
est, the sentiment so noble and the
characters SO intensely human that
the popularity of the play is not to
be wondered at. The management
has spared no expense to make the
present revival one of the most per-
feet presentations the play has ever
been given. A magnificent scenic
equipment has been provided, the
costumes are all new, elaborate and
correct, and the acting company is
said to be an exceptionally strong
and capable one Geo. A. D. John
son has played the role of Damon
over !. 900 times. He is brilliant
young actor who has made this
famous role peculiarly his own.
Frank Angus, the Pythias, is one of
the greatest legitimate actors of the
day. Harry D. Clifton, the Dionysius,
played this same role formerly with
Frederick Warde and Louis James.
Monica Lee, the Calanthe, was prom
inent last season in Maude Adams
Co. and Mary Holmes won success
recently in ''Romeo and Juliet" and
''In the Palace of the King" The
other members of the company are
all well known players on the legiti-
mate stage.
