Look at These Facts.

The Times and Democrat is ready
to advocate that plan Of handling
whiskey in this State that will be
most conductive to the sobriety and
welfare of it's citizens. We have
studied the subject in all it's aspects,
and we have come to the conclusion
that the dispepsary system is the
best solution of the question. We
have not relied altogether on our
experience in endeavoring to reach a
conclusion, but We have studied
figures from States in which prohi-
bition has held sway for a great
many years, and they have strength
ened rather than weakened the
opinions We have formed from our
personal experience with the different
modes of handling whiskey.

Is it Right?

Is it right that a property owner should
lose $500 to let dealer make 50 cents !?
A dealer makes 50 cents more on four

$3.50 per gallon, than our agent does on
eight gallons Of L. & NJ. paint and six
gallons of inseed oil, which make four

so as to place the same Office holders
from Newberry by. their sides and
let this great crowd of people decide
which of the Two counties had the
best looking set of officers. We
certainly believe Auditor Cromer
would have wended his way home
with red ribbor; Treasurer Epps
and Shealy, according to our way of
thinking, would have been nick and
tuck, and Clerk of Court Goggins
and Sam B., We rather think the
second party would have been called
to decide their good looks.

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE
STATE OF NEVADA.

State Of Nevada, Respondent, vs. John
Hancock, Appellant
Attorney General James G. Sweeney
Attorney for Respondent.
Geo. w. Keith, Attorney for Appel
liant.
The defendant was convicted in
3 District Court, in and for Lincoln
ounty, of the crime of murder in the
st degree: and subsequently judg.
ent of death was, by said Court,
ronounced upon him. He appeals to
lis Court from the said judgment.
There was no regular assignment Of
errors in the record filed here. But
treating the two statements of errors
claimed by defendant as made in his
bill of exceptions presented by him
to the Judge of the trial court fer
allowance and settlement as perform
ing the functions of an assignment of
errors, two questions arise on the
bill of exceptions as settled by said
Judge:
I. Did the court err in the admis-
sion of the testimony of the witness
Mrs. Gross; and,
e. Did said court err in admitting
the testimony of the witness Archie
Gross?
The second question is entirely out
of the case as the defendants counsel
admits; because no exception to sail
testimony was taken.
On the first question the bill of ex-
ceptions settled and allowed by the
said judge, is as follows:
Zone Mrs. Kate W. Gross was sworn
Is witness on behalf of the prosecu-
ion and testified among other things
that she met the defendant. Hancock,
in 1895, and went to live with him,
and that she was then a married WON

living.

various occurrences, prior to the al
legged crime, the defendants counsel

ant, alleging that the witness was the
wife of the defendant, and therefore
incompetent to testify against him
and asked leave to examine her te
ascertain whether or not she was com
petent.
Such leave being granted by the
court, the said witness on her exami
nation on void dire in answer to ques
tons by defendants and plaintiff
counsel, testified: That she was liv
ing and cohabiting with the defend
ant at the time the alleged Grim,
charged in the indictment was com
mitted; that she had lived and
cohabited with the defendant 70
months previous to the alleged crime
and for months afterward, and that il

ants wife, but that at Sacramento

husband Keen, to whom, she testi-
fed she was married in 1892 III Salt
Lake City, Utah; that at Perris, Cali
fornia, where she and Hancock re-
sided for some time, and where Han
cocks mother and brother and sister
lived. the witness passed b. the name
of Mrs. Hancock, but that everybody
there knew she was not Hahcock's
was there after the time of the al
legged crime with Hancock, and where
she had friends who knew her as Mrs.
Keen. she went by the name CT Keen,
and that in Oregon, where sire and the
defendant were for some months, the
defendant passed her off as his sister;
and further, that she never said she
would be true to the defendant, and
never was; that she could not tell him
she would be true to him when she
had living husband: that she passed
as Hancock's wife III various places
simply to avoid the shame of being
known as his mistress, and further,
that she never agreed or promised to
marry Hancock or to be his wife, and
that she never expected to be his wife
because she was never divorced from
her husband, Keen.
ThereupOn the court found that
the witness, Mrs. Kate w. Gross, was
not the wife of the defendant and not
incompetent to testify against him,
and overruled the defendant obiec-
ton to her testifying further, to
which ruling defendant by his coun-
| sci took an exception.
The defendant presented to the trial
judge when he denominated State
ment to act as bill of exceptions"
The trial judge refused to allow the
statement as the bill of exceptions,
giving his reasons therefore as fol-
lows:
(Which SO called statement to act
as bill of exception has been found
by me to be incorrect in the following
/ particulars in alleging that

A SAD AFFAIR.
Miss Maude Norton Drowned In
Spring River.


Last Friday n party of young peo'
pie from Columbus, chaperoned by
Mrs. Percy Tabier of Scammon,
went into camp at Blacks grove,
just northeast of this city, for sew
erai days outing. The young folks
were counting on having an enjoy
able time, and the number was to
have been added to Saturday even.
ing and Sunday.
Saturday morning Misses Maude
Norton, Utah Foster and Mabel Stew
ard, in company with a couple OF
the young men in the party, went
up the river about half a mile above
camp to take a swim. The ladies
were attired in bathing suits. The
boys landed the ladies on a. gravel
bar and then went into the woods
TO put on their own bathing clothes.
Pretty soon they were alarmed by
the cries of Miss Norton, who said
Misses Foster and Steward were
drowning. The boys rushed to the
rescue and saved the girls, ho had
been under a couple of times-in
fact one of them was under the
water when she was gotten hold OF.
All this time Miss Norton was
etanding in water not much more
than knee deep. The boys natural
ly thought she was all right and OF
course devoted all their time to saw
ing the other girls. After they had
. been taken out onto dry land, how
ever, the boys looked around for
Miss Norton, but che had disap.
peared. Her hat was floating. The
boys made a serch for her, but in
vain, so they took Misses Foster
and Steward TO camp, and reported
the catastrophe. A courier was sent
TO town and within few moments
dozens of searchers were in the
river hunting for the body OF the
unfortunate girl. She was last seen
alive about $50 o'clock. Drags OF
all kinds were made and thorough
search prosecuted, but not until
4:20 O'Clock was the body found. AT
that time, about $50 yards below
where Miss Norton disappeared, a
searching party composed of Rio
Hodgkina, Will Glasner and John
eeaton, working with drag, caught
the bathing suit worn by the unfor-
tunate girl.
The remains were brought to
town by Undertaken Roy Harvey.
They were prepared for shipment
by Mr.. Harvey and Mrs. Hough, the
undertaken from Columbus.
Mr.. W. S. Norton, father of Miss
Maude, was at Badger mines, east
of Columbus, at the time OF the

drowning, and In company with
Charlie Stephens, came to Baxter
Springs at once. Mrs. Norton was
80 overcome when the news was
broken TO her that she was not able
to come down until evening.
The place where Miss Norton m

are great deep holes with strong

party worked in water from four to
fifteen feet deep, and where the
body was found the water is about
seven feet deep.
The Spring River Power Compa.
ny very kindly closed its gates at
Lowell, so the water below would
have a chance to run down, and IL
did, about foot and a half. Ar
engagements had been made to open
the Baxter dam, 30 as to run out all
the back water, but the body was
found before this was done.
Misses Foster and Steward had a
very close call. The general belief
lie that Miss Maude Norton, seeing
the other girls in such great dan
ger, tainted and fell into the water,
which was very swift where she
wac standing when last seen.
Funeral services were held in Col
umbus Tuesday and the remains
inferred in the Columbus cemetery.
Miss Norton was about q years
of age and a very popular young
lady. The bereaved parents and
brother have the sy mpathy of the
entire county.
