NEW manual
HAS BEEN ISSUED

The NJ. N. Thompson magistrates
manual, which enjoyed such a wide
sale while its author lived and went
TO its third edition under his direc-
ton, has gone to its fourth edition,
all previous editions having become
exhausted, and appears now with
viii II. Cole and John @. Long as
publishers. The manual has been
greatly enlarged and brought up to
date under careful revision made by
Harvey w. Harmer, whose work
makes it far more valuable than ever
for magistrates, lawyers, constables.
sheriffs and others. There have been
five sessions of the legislature since
the last edition Of the manual and
many new laws passed, including the
Acts of 1905. These necessitated
many changes in the forms. which
have been made by Mr.. Harmcr.
The new laws enlarged the powers of
magistrates and this feature has been
carefully looked after. Mr.. Har-
mcr also has added an appendix con-
tanning the syllabus of the supreme
court of cases originally tried in
magistrates court and appealed to
the higher courts.

thrilling and exciting one, albeit
blood-curdling in spots. 1t is thus
briefly told:

appear. The afternoon wore on
and finally night.fall came, but
still the husband was not to be
seen. Anxiously the distressed
waited into the watches Of the night
and then searching parties were or
ganized. All night and all the
next day they secured the prairies
and hills, hidden recesses Of the
rocks and ravines. but rot a trace
of the missing man was found.
Then Deputy Madsen was sent
for. Chris soon appeared on the
scene, organized a searching party,
and guided BY his eagle eye and
keen scent, the search was renewed.
Chris soon had the scent. Some
distance from the house tracks
were found. Down in,o the dark
woods they lead and presently they
came upon an object that caused
them to open their eyes-it was a
sickening, gruesome sight, a bloody
axe, stained with the gore Of the
victim and matted with his hair.
Securing this horrible evidence of a
.villainous crime, the party followed
the tracks which lead down to the
river bank. Here, it was evident.

CHARGE TO
GRAND JURY
JUDGE DIcKERSON lNSTRUcTS THE
GRAND JURORS IN THEIR DUTIES
AND THE LAW
HARD LICKS 0FOR VIOLATORS
OF the Law. Ne Urges the Jury to
Spare None

In his charge to the grand jury
yesterday morning, Judge Dicker-
son said in part:
The Statute requires me to men
tion to you in general way all Of
the criminal laws. but it especially
requires me to mention two or
three; one is the law with refer
ence to the sale Of mortgaged pro-
perty. 1t was thought advisable
by the legislature to have the
Judge call the Grand Jury's spe-
cial attention to this. The stabili-
ty OF commercial paper, the busi-
ness interests OF the community.
require that he who pledges his
property shall be faithful 70 MS
trust, holding the property for the
benefit of the debt he has created.
Therefore, he who violates that
law shall be prosecuted and pun
ished.
sThe Legislature has also made 1t
my special duty to call your atten-
ton to the laws against the sale Of
intoxicating liquors and to the
gambling and gaming laws. | say
to you, Gentleman Of the Jury.
that one law should not have spe-
cial attention over any other law.
I say that in the face of the stat
ute that requires me to mention
some laws. That requirement is
thai the Court should call your at
tention to them that you might not
forget the laws, not that one should
have more attention than the Others
But I say to you that all laws are
made and have been enacted for
the purpose Of assisting in good
government; and one law should
directive any special consider :
tion over another, except than that

dark waters Of the turbid stream.
The next step was to search out
the guilty man. Evidence was I'm
ally found which poiuted to Ger.
tain individual in the neighbor-
hood. He was arrested, brought
to Chickasha and landed behind the
prison bars to await trial. The
plot deepens and the meshes Of the
law tighten about their victim. He
is about to be arraigned before the
bar Of justice when, presto, mes
sage is received from Alex, the
Corpus Delicti' has turned up
alive and well-he had been off on
a trip to Maysville. Crow had no
idea that he had been murdered til
he was informed about it.
But the bloody axe, and the
locks Of hair? Well, here's a
for Sherlock Holmes and
Chris Madsen to get in their big
mits with some deductions.

is sufficient to convict them or not.

the law and entice your ueighbor

prive your neighbors' wives and

Accident on the Iowa

The Navy Department has been in
formed by the Chief of Staff of the
North Atlantic squadron that the
muzzle of one of the S-inch guns OF
the Iowa was blown off Friday during
target practice. No one was injured.
The telegram stated that. after four
of the S-inch guns in target practice
had been fired, the muzzle of the fifth
gun blew off at the first round. IL
was one of the old type guns of this
caliber mounted on the Iowa before
the Spanish War, was designed TO use
brown powder and consequently had
a much thinner muzzle than the new
type guns. 1t had been fired success
fully 1913 times and burst on the lO4th
time with normal powder conditions.
so far as now known Several other
guns of the same type on the Iowa,
and made at the same time have
suffered similar accidents, and this
class of gun is being replaced as rapid
ly as possible with longer and thicker
tubed weapons. The Navy Department
has ordered thorough investigation
of this last accident.

academy Draws Color Line

Two colleges have drawn the color
line against Harvard. according to
crimson undergraduates Saturday, as
the reason advanced for canceling the
games with the Naval Academy and
Trinity College. The varsity nine
has taken Matthews, the oolored short
stop, along and will not make the
trip as far south as the schedule calls
for, the midshipmen' game being
omitted.
Last year, owing to the objection
raised against him, Matthews did
not accompany the team on its south
eIn trip, and a consequence George
town. the college most insistent in its
demand for his withdrawal, scored a
victory over Harvard. This year
Georgetown was dropped from the
crimson schedule. This year Trinity
and the Naval Academy objected TO
Matthews, and, it is understood here,
declined top lay unless he was with
drawn. AS Matthews is one of the
mainstays of the team, the request
was refused and the game Cancelled.

JOHN PAUL JONES' BODY
Governor Thinks The Remains
Should Be Brought to
AnnapoiiS.

The discovery of the remains OF John
Paul Jones in Paris have created much
comment here, especially in naval
circles. An effort, ii is said, will be
made to have the remains brought to
the Naval Academy and inferred in a
crypt in the new chapel.
In referring to the discovery of the
remains Governor Wariield said :
Paul Jones was the father of the
American navy His report TO the
Continental Congress on the needs of
the naval service embodies views that
are as essential TO the regulation and
discipline of the navy now as they
were then, and when the first ships
were being built, armed, commission
ed and manned. When the body of
this great naval officer is brought to
the United States il should be inferred
at Annapolis, in the nursery of the
navy"
The Governor SAYS che belonged To
the navy. to the United States, and
he cannot be claimed by any one state.
He was a resident of Virginia for a
time, il IS true. but his fame belongs
to the whole country. He gave NJ
the estate in tidewater Virginia which
he inherited from his brother TO de-
vote himself TO the service on the sea
of the revolted Colonies, and his ideas
we're accepted in laying the founda-
tions of the American navy. There
fore, do not think anything more
appropriate could happen than to
place his remains here. where his
name and his fame and his great SER
vice to the American navy would be
a perpetual reminder and incentive TO
the young officers who are educated
at the Naval Academy for the sea SER
vice of the country

There was loose playing ON both
sides. but the reserves steadied down
