was sane. Mr.. Roche said the murder
was committed without malice afore-
thought. without a desire for venge-
ance and without generalization, and
held that the highest crime for which
he could be convicted, If convicted at
all, was manslaughter. The evidence
Of insanity. Mr.. Roche said. had been
offered honestly. and he contended that
the defense had proved that the pris
Oner was insane by prepOnderance

State Auditor Tingey Mails Notices

State Auditor Tingey has mailed no
tees to the county auditors throughout

ty fund for the year 1904 set aside by
the last Legislature Is nearly exhaust
ed. The Legislature Of 1908 appropriate
ed 1000 for the payment Of the bounty
on certain wild animals for the years
1903 and 1904. The fund for 1903 was
exhausted In November last and all
bounty certificates after that were held
to be paid out Of the fund for this year
Out OF the $4,000 for this year there Is
only $4,000 remaining now, and from
all indications that Will be exhausted In
about a week. In that event the certi-
flcates issued after the bounty fund Is
exhausted will not be paid by the state
until after the next session OF the Leg
islature, when another appropriation
will be made. The last Legislature In
creased the bounty on coyotes 80 per
cent. but did not increase the amount
of the fund, hence there will be quite a
shortage, which will have to be made
UP by the next Legislature
