HUNGATE FAILS AGAIN.
Couldn't Convict Man Who Agreed to
Plead Guilty.

"A rather amusing thing occurred to-
day in the district court room, when
the efforts Of Prosecuting Attorney
Hungate to convict Cal Heck are con-
sidered.
Just after the noon recess the coun-
ty attorney came into the court room.
and addressing Judge Dana said: III
your honor pleases, I have two cases
here that I should like to have heard
at once, as I am sure that I can con-
Vict, as the defendants each desire to
plead guilty"
The first case was that of E R. Win
der. who was in the hack robbery case.
He agreed to plead guilty to larceny from
the person and take an indeterminate
sentence in the penitentiary.
The other defendant was Henry KfneTd,
a rather simple minded fellow, who at
tempted to pass a forged check on the
bank at Rossville. When asked by Judge
Dana If he desired to plead guilty, the
latter said: Il did not come over here to
plead guilty and I am not going to.
Hungate got UP Immediately and left
the room, nnumbling something to the ef-
feet that Something must have lit on
on man when he can not convict a man
who wants to plead guilty.

TOWN MAY BURN DOWN
While Rival Fire Companies Quarrel
Over Their Rights.

Chicago. Nov. 22.=If a fire should
break out in Glencoe. suburb OF Chi
cago, the question OF supremacy Of two
rival factions each claiming to be the
authorized FIRE department Of the vii
lage, would have to be decided before
the fire could be put out.
The old fire. department organiza-
ton has been in existence for ten
years. A new one was formed recent
" but the "old timers refuse to be
displaced and declare they will get
to" the fire apparatus first in case of
fire. The new appointees say the
members of the old department are in
competent and that the new APP
pointees, by virtue of their permit
from the village board, have the sole
right to fight fires in Glencoe
By the system In Glencoe each
member of the department is notified
by telephone of the fire by the opera
tor at the Glencoe exchange, when the
alarm has ben received. Each organ
ization has posted a list of its mem
bers with their telephone numbers at
the Office and has given the operator
orders not to call up the other depart

COMMENTS ON HECK.

After the verdict of acduittaI had
been returned and most Of the specta-
tors had left the court room, Heck
went to Judge Dana to again thank
him for his kind treatment. It was on
this occasion that Judge Dana took the
opportunity to deliver a. mild rebuke
TO the defendant of few moments
before. Judge Dana said. Il trust,
Mr.. Heck. that this lesson vii be a
good one for you and that in the fu-
ture you will lead a different life. You
have had a verv narrw escape and l
trust that in the future you will lead a
good life and that you will treat the
wife who you have married under
these conditions as a wife should be
treated.
In speaking of the verdict in the
Heck case County Attorney Hungate
said: II am of course greatly sur
prised at the verdict, but their verdict
Is mine. / am in favor of giving Cal
Heck his bloody hammer, ana clean
bill OF health and turn MIN loose on
the community and wish him well.0
Sheriff Lucas said: When the Of
hcers of the law produce such evidence
as we had in this case and jury dis
regards it. it makes one feel like quit
ting. There have been six mysterious
sluggings and murders in this county
lately and no one has been punished
for them. Then when we have a case
with the evidence as clear as it was in
this one the jury for sympathy's sake
or some like reason turns the accused
loose one does not feel like saying
much for publication.

decision of that jury is about the limit.

". I. Jamison. assistant prosecuting at
torney. It was never more surprised and
shocked at the verdict Of a jury IN my
life. Il can not understand how they
could do it.
Joseph Reed said: Il could not believe
that a jury could bring in such a YER
dict as the one brought in in the Heck
case. It is an outrage to the commu-
nifty"
IN speaking of the verdict in the Heck
case A. r. Williams said: Il am thinking
of going into the 'stick-up' business my
self. as it seems both profitable and

THE TREASURY
Work Was Commenced by State ON
Gers This Afternoon.

The governor, secretary of state and
auditor, all being in town today, have
decided to examine the state treasury.
The examination is being made this
afternoon, and is the regular monthly
examination provided by law.
Auditor Wells, who keeps the books
in which the examination is recorded,
has ruled that all examinations must
be made in person in the future He
will not stand for the substitution of
anybody's chief clerk or assistant.
fIf there are not too many Cancelled
warrants to be counted" says Auditor
Wells 1--WE ought to be able to finish
the examination of the treasury in
about an hour"
There are not supposed to be very
many uncaneeIed warrants in the
treasury at this time, as they were all
turned over to the auditor on Novem-
Der 90.

COMING INTO CAMP.
Four More Senators Line Up With the
President.

washington. Nov. 2S-Four sensa-
toriaI recruits have been received by
the administration forces on the rail-
road rate proposition. Hale and Frye
of Maine and Dillingham; and Proctor
of Vermont sent word to the president
that they were with him. This leaves
the nu-administration lines weak,
All four of these senators were count
ed as In opposition 10 the presidents
policy and their capitulation at this
time is believed to insure prompt and
Satisfactory action by Congress on the
rate question.
Senator Foraker is expected to stand
by his bill to the last, and it is pos
sible that he VIII be able to swing
some Of his colleagues into line, but it
is reported that President Roosevelt
has stated he would not accept the
Foraker bill, that he would accept no
bin that did not give the rate-making
power into the hand of the interstate
commerce commission or some other
government commission. Thus the
lines are drawn and when congress
meets every member viii have the
choice OF lining up with the president
or taking the stand Of Senator Foraker
whose bill gives the power to the
United states courts to substitute rates
for those found to he excessive or un-
reasonable.
It is even reported that Senator
Flkins, who has been looked upon as
the leader of the opposition party on
the question. is about to hoist the
white flag and come into camp. He
sees that the chances or success are
growing simmer and then there are
other considerations that have to be
taken into account, Down in West
Virginia there are a number Of ap-
poiutments to be made and the sena-
tors Communications have not inn
pressed the president, apparently,
since the vacancies are permitted to go
unified. 1T is possible that Mr.. Elkfns
may prefer to withdraw nom the con-
test on the rate question in the hope
that his recommendations for federal
places in his state viii carry more
weight.

penitentiary early today, Billy Nor
rison, a local crook. sentenced TO three
years imprisonment for car robbery
sentenced to two years and eight
months for highway ribbery, made a
most remarkable escape from Sheriff
Sedgwick and nine deputies. The
escape was made while they were in a
crowd of over 500 at the depot. 1t

PATRICK LOSES AGAIN.
Condemned Lawyer Continues His Re-
narlable Fight for Life.

Albany. \. =, Nov. 28.-The court
of appeals today denied the motion
made in behalf of Albert r. Patrick for
an amendment of the remitture
recording the courts dismissal Of his
appeal from conviction of murder in
the first degree.
The matter is purely technical. but it
was of great Importance to Patrick
because its intent was to have the
court so amend the papers as to show
that points involving the appellants
rights under the federal constitution
had been passed This procedure
would have facilitated Patrick's ap-
peal to the supreme court of the
United States.
