PLEADED GUILTY
eALBRAlTH TO BE TRIED IN JUNE

Murderer Faces Great Crowd In the
Court Room at Central City and
confesses That He Killed His Wife
and Son.
Denver. April ia Central City

OF fully 500 persons, men and women,
who had gathered to witness proceed.
ings at the preliminary hearing. The
hearing lasted just ten minutes and at
the end Magistrate Thomas Hooper
bound the murderer over to the Grim
inal Court without bonds. The quiet
demeanor OF the large crowd was very
marked. 1t is now thought by those in
charge of Galbraith that he Is anxious
to escape the full penalty OF his
crimes.
AS Galbraith entered the court
room at 11:30 o'clock he cast one hur-
ried glance about the room and saw
the faces of those he had known for
years looking at him with open hatred.
He then sat down with his back to the
spectators and in n voice SO low as to
be hardly audible, he answered the
questions addressed to him by Deputy
District Attorney Il. c. Miles.
Two separate charges of wilfully,
unlawfully and with malice afore.
thought numbering his wife and young
son were addressed to Galbralth and
he was told to answer guilty or not
guilty.
Epr full af hn Are
charge the murderer stood in perfect
silence, then he said: ITO the best OF
my knowledge and belief | am guilty
of the charge" The charge was that
of numbering his son, Azel Donald.
The next charge was that OF the
murder OF his wife, Jennie Lamb Gal
braith. The answer came quickly, the
prisoner answering that he desired to
answer that charge in the same terms
as the first.
Deputy Miles then went to where
District Attorney Thurman was sitting
and they held a short conference, at
the end of which the deputy asked
Galbraith to plead specifically. guilty
or not guilty.
'As far as can recollect | am guilty
of both charges" answered Galbraith
| The names OF the witnesses were then
read off and Galbraith was hurriedly
removed by side door to his cell by
Sheriff Cody and Deputy Sheriff Mat,
| Ryan.
So intense was the interest centered
on the preliminary hearing and curl
osity to see the prisoner was so great
that many of the stores hero were
closed. The disappointment at the
non-appearance of Mrs. L.ottie Russell
was marked. She has excited great
curiosity in the minds OF Galbraith' s
former acquaintances and they regard
her to a large extent as the cause OF
his downfall.
After the names of the witnesses
who will appear at the coming tria
had been read. their presence noted
and the court had stated that It would
be unnecessary to place any OF then
unuer bonds, Magistrate Hooper called
upon the murderer to stand up. Gal
braith did so, his agitation as marked
as before, and was told that as he hac
pleaded guilty he would be hell

That Acid Trouble.

Colusa. Cal, April 1Sth.-Much has
been said and written recently about
Uric Acid in the system; what causes
1t and how to get rid of it. 1t is
known to be the first cause of Rheu-
matism and many other diseases and
has therefore received a great deal
of attention from medical men.
Mr.. l.. F. Moulton of this place
claims that he has solved the prob
lem Of how to get this acid out of the
system. He says:
Il had this acid trouble myself for
years. At times the Kidney secre-
tons would be very profuse and at
other times scant, but the acid was
always my greatest trouble. Medicine
failed to cure me till at last | heard
of a remedy called Dodd's Kidney
Pills and after taking box seemed
to be entirely cured. However, 1t
came back on me and this time took
several boxes, with the result that I
was completely and permanently
cured. This was three years ago and
I have not had single symptom of
the acid trouble since. | am 75 years

SUGAR FACTORY QUIT SL|CIhG.
The Season. Run Has Been Very
Satisfactory and the Farmers
are Well Pleased.

On Wednesday morning OF this week
the sugar factory quit slicing beets for
this season after very successful run
Of 81 days, although it is expected that
it will take until Monday next TO work
the syrup up into sugar ready to close
the factory and commence cleaning the
machinery. This is done at the end Of
every seasons run so that the factory
will be ready to commence operations at
the beginning Of the next campaign.
This season has been a profitable one
for both the factory and the grower, al
though the run has been shorter than
two years ago by about forty days. The
reason for this is that the season two
years ago was much more favorable for
the crop and larger tonnage was
raised. Another good reason is that the
factory has sliced on an average 200
fore. This has been made possible by
the new and improved machinery and
methods of converting the syrup into
sugar ready for the market that have
been installed since that time. One i'm
provemeut over former years is notice

take any active part in the management
OF the business after that time, the new
men TO assume entire control at least by
July lst.
The news OF this deal had hardly been
made public when it was announced d
that l.. II. Hayt, the senior member Of
The Hayt & Pierce Co, has purchased
outright the II. j. Vermeulen large
stock with the intention of consolidat-
ing the two stores. AS soon as the in
ventory of The Hayt & Pierce 90. stock
is made it is intended to move it into the
Vermeulen block, which Mr.. Hayt has
leased, and the new company will then
assume charge Of both stocks. Until
that time the Vermeulen stock will be
managed by Hayt with the assistance Of
his brother-in-law, +. l.. Oonvis, Of
Maple Rapids, man of experience in
this line Of business
IL is intended TO sell the stock out as
low as possible so that the new company
will be enabled 10 restock with new
goods and fit up the several departments
equal to city department. store Mr.
Hayt will be away for few weeks
travelling in the south and during that
time Mr.. Oonvis will have the entire
charge Of the business while MIR. Pierce
will look after The Hayt & Pierce Co.,
store.
In retiring from active business both
Mr.. Hayt and Mr.. Pierce have excellent {
reasons. Mr.. Hayt is doing so on ac-
count of i'll health while Mr. Pierce feels
that the responsibility of the entire
management would be too great for him
to assume, and while he will be financi-
ally interested in the new company, the
same as Mr.. Hayt. he will return TO his
former position as a travelling salesman
for the same company he was with be =
fore engaging in business in Alma.
Mr.. Hayt came TO Alma in 1890. and at
that time purchased small bazaar stock
located next to the postoffice. Endowed
with keen business instinct, he natur-
ally pro 'pered and as he did so branched
out until he has reached his present
position in the mercantile and financial
circles. Mr.. Pierce was very success
full travelling salesman at the time he
entered into business relations with Mr..
Hayt, and since the he has had
the entire supervision Of the grocery de-
partment. Always reliable and honest,
he maintained his integrity at all times
and yet has made that department. q
success.
II j. vermeulen has the best reasons
for his retirement from the mercantile
business in Alma. He is largely inter.
ested in mining property in Idaho and
IL is his intention Of devoting his person.
