Little Miss Muffet
Wanted to rough it.
So she ran to the new saloon
That was blessed by the Bishop.
For there she could dish up
Beer all the afternoon.
There was a model man,
He went IN a model rumshop
And acquired model jag.
He met a model sIeuth,
Who spied his model souse,
And dragged him off abruptly
To a model station house.
There was man In Gotham town.
And he was wondrous wise
He jumped into the Bishops place,
And filled up to the eyes.
But when they saw his eyes were afioat
With all their might and main
ThAX seized him by the trousers seat
And threw him out again.
Mary had a little Jag
Which she was loath to lose;
She got IL In the Bishops place,
From drinking blessed booze
1t followed her into the street.
Which was against the Nile;
1t made the children laugh and sing
All. Mary had jool.
A watchful sleuth espIed both girl
And 1ag-they made him weep;
He placed poor Mary where the bars
Are dry-now she's asleep.

$4,000, 900 IN THE BALANCE.
Depends Upon Which Died First by
Effects of Fire.

New York, June 22.-Upon the de-
o the exact time of the
death of Wallace Andrews and his
wife, who were burned to death in
their home in this city on April /,
1899, depends the success of the con-
test for the $2.5OO,OOO which was be-
gun in the state supreme court here
today.
Mr.. Andrews will directs that his
executors organize an institution to
be known as the Andrews institute for
girls, and it left to the institution ST.
100000 of his $4,000, 900 estate, cut
ting off his relatives with 100000.
Under the laws of 1860, still in
force, a testator leaving wife and
child cannot give more than one-half
of his estate to charity and the heirs
contend that Mrs. Andrews survived
her husband and, therefore, under the
law, the Andrews institute for girls
can only recover $1,5OO.OOO. Counse
for the institute contend that there i:
no proof that the wife survived hel
husband, and raise the presumption
that the woman, naturally being tn
weaker, died first. The will has beer
admitted to probate.

Roy Miller on Trial.


Roy II. Miller, president of the de-
funct bank of Sumpter, is on trial to-
day in the criminal court, charged
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. The court room is crowded
with interested spectators and a num-
ber of Sumpter people are down as
witnesses. 1t is expected that the TAX
ing of the testimony will consume two
days time.
The indictment against Miller,
which was returned by the last term
grand jury, charges that on February
2S, 1904. in the city of Sumpter, he
fraudulently and wilfully represented
to A. P. Goss that a certain certified
check for $4,000 on the First Ma
tional bank of Sumpter, was a good
and valid check and would be honored
by the First National bank. With
these Misrepresentation he induced
A. P. Gose to turn over to him. (Mil-
ler), the property of the bank of
Sumpter in payment for which he
gave the $4,000 certified check. The
indictment then charges that at the
time of making the transfer Miller
knew the check was worthless am
that It would not be honored.-Bakel

WOMAN SHOOTS WOMAN.
Probably Fatal Affray at Walla walIa
Between Italians.

walla walla, June 22.-Mrs. Frank
Allessio was shot and mortally wound
ed yesterday morning by Mrs Leon
ard Rizzuto. and lies in st. Mary's
hospital in this city, her life slowly
ebbing away The bullet from a 32-
calibre revolver entered her head Just
below and back of the left ear, and
passed almost through the head,
ranging probably a little upward
The flow of blood was so great that
the doctors decided not to probe for
the bullet until some later time.
The woman was not entirely uncon-
scious when discovered weltering in
her blood by the husband, who re-
turned home about 10 o'clock, and
she was able to tell him that Mrs.
Rizzuto. who resides in the same
house, had a few hours before ap-
peared on the Threshold and began
picking a quarrel. Mrs. Allessio left
the house for the purpose of getting
some wood. and was followed by Mrs.
Rizzuto, who drew a revolver and
shot her.
The two families are members of
the Italian colony who are gardening
on the whitney farms about two miles
south of the city, and both live in the
same house. Both families are well
known and quite well-to-do.
While the husbands have been on
very amiable terms, the two women
have been having. trouble for some
time. It is alleged that Mrs. Allessio
accused Mrs. Rizzuto of trying to
ALLEVIATE the affections of her husband
and at various times precipitated a
war of words in which she would
make dire threats of vengeance. From
apparently reliable sources it is al
legged that the pending trouble reach
ed climax this morning when Mrs
Allessio invaded the home of Mrs
latter in a nearby stream of water
Later the quarrel was renewed by the
Allessio woman and a nephew~knowI
as Frank. The latter grabbed Mrs
Rizzuto by the hair and dragged he
from the house, swearing vengeance
against her and her tribe. The wo
man freed herself, rushed into tn
house, secured the revolver and sho
the Allessio woman, who was out il
the yard.
The doctors last evening said tina
Mrs. Allessio might possibly surviv
the night, but it was doubtful.
If Mrs. Frank dies hers will be tn
fourth violent death that has resulte
IN this city with the past three weeks

MIR. BENTLEY FINDS HIS WATCH.
1t Was soaked at "A PawnshOp for
DoIlar-Uncle John Is Out With IA
Gun for the Smooth Fingered Pick

pocket.
Ex-United States Marshal. ex-Sher-
iff and present Constable John NJ,
Bentley is minus a watch and thereby
hangs a tale. Uncle John, who is a
terror to lawbreakers, feels very much
dsgusted that some of the light
fingered gentry should have selected
him for an easy mark and he is VOW
ing vengeance if the can catch the
guilty party. This afternoon we call
ed up Mr. Bentley and asked him if
he had any news Of his missing watch.
He said, "I found it at Gurdane's
pawnshop. Some fellow soaked it
for a dollar. We have the descrip-
ton of the fellow and Coffman will
undoubtedly land him. first thought
it was a josh and that Til or Joe or
some of the election board had made
away with it, but from the description
Of the fellow it must have been stolen
and the worst of it is it was stolen
with the sheriff and two of his depu-
ties present and even 1 did not notice
| it. The fellow must have been pretty
smooth"
This seems like a pretty good
! chance to do some Sherlock Holmes
work. We imagine that when Sher-
lock has handed in his decision it vii
be about like this. While Sheriff Tay'
Ior and his deputy Joe Blakely engage
Uncle John in conversation another
of THIS deputies relieved the owner o
his watch. The tall dark man ac
companied by the blond man will
the yellow mustache for whom Uncl'
John is looking will probably turn ou
to be the sheriff and the city mar
shall. We rather think Uncle John
that the smokes are on you and yo'
, better lay in a supply for your friend
who come in to congratulate you ol
the recovery of your watch.

MARTIN CASE IN JURYs HANDS
(Contlnued from pege /.

according to the law of. the state and
severely criticized Colonef Raley for
having made statements regarding
Graham that had not been brought
out by the evidence. Speaking of that
action he said: HE has done wrong,
and if intentional he should be barred
from further practice. However,
attribute the act to a slip of speech
on his part"
In two hours address all of the
facts developed during the case were
gone over by Judge Fee. He asked
why the attorneys for the defense had
mob brought Graham and West upon
the stand, and also why they had not
used any of the BroXons. He dwelt
considerably upon Martins invitation
to Preston to meet him AT the school
house in the evening before the hom-
icide
DR.. Fulton, for whom Martin
worked, was classed by the counsel
as being behind all of the trouble, and
was harshly arraigned for his actions
in connection with the affair. Among
other things the judge said.
There are probably some black
spots in Milton. Some that should be
cleaned out by the law, and if / were
doing it, the first place that I would
take would be DIR. Fulton's dental Of
flee"
1t was strongly intimated by the
judge that Fulton had full knowledge
of Martins plans and had counselled
with him in the matter. Consequently
he was now in fear of getting his
own neck in the halter" He left it
to the jury to choose between Fulton
and Chastain regarding the conversa-
ton over the phone.
In concluding, Judge Fee declared
he wished to make no oratorical dis
play, but simply to place the facts
before the jury, and to allow them to
Judge of them properly, which he
believed they would do.
Immediately after the conclusion
of Judge Fees argument Judge Ellis
began his charge to the jury. In the
the same he covered the various le-
gal points at length, describing and
defining the various degrees of muir
der and other legal points The
charge required nearly half an hour
and at its conclusion the bailiffs were
called, sworn and given charge of the
jury.

After Grover Martin had left the
stand yesterday afternoon, and the
defense had rested its case, a number
of witnesses were called by the pros
ecution to refute evidence given on
the side of the defense. These were
" Chastain. who again told of the
conversation of Fulton and Martin
over the rural phone; Mrs. Graham,
who told of the visit of young Hurst
to her fathers house with a message
from Martin a few nights before the
killing; and Egaan Ridenour, stenog-
rapher at the coroner's inquest.
I The testimony of the latter was of
considerable importance, as he had
with him the notes taken by him in
shorthand at the inquest. According
to these notes, as testified to by
Ridenour, the stories of the shooting
of Preston by Martin as given by Mrs.
Clark and Myra Clark were material
ly different from what they stated dur
mig the trial. At the inquest Myra
Clark had said the shot was fired as
Preston was picking up the rock, ana
neither she nor her mother spoke of
Preston having thrown his left hand
behind him as If to draw gun. Also.
Mrs. Clark gave Martins conversa-
ton after the shooting as being Mrs.
Clark, 1 had to; 1 couldn't bear to
have my mother called a bitch"
whereas. OF the stand here she gave
them as being simply, Mrs. Clark,
had to-" thus implying self-defense,
instead of anger as the motive fG
shooting.
Following Ridenour both sides rest
ed, and owing to the indisposition OF
Judge Fee, an adjournment was taken
until $3.50 this morning.
