Never before on the lake was there
such a list of causualties among steel
vessels. The total value of all the
steel ships wrecked was $3,245,OOO.
and Of the wooden ships $4,000.
How many Of the wrecks can be

to keep afoat herself and could not
respond to the signals. Then the snow

MRS. BOESEN FOUND GUILTY.
The Jury Gives Her One Year in
 the Penitentiary.

Most of the day Wednesday was consumed in the trial of Mrs. Viola Boesen, charged with kill ing heifer belonging to Tom Johnson. It was given to the jury late in the afternoon, and yesterday morning they brought m a verdict of guilty. fixing the punishment at one year in the penitentiary.
 This case has considerable To- cal interest, the parties living east of Springdale on White River. The evidence showed that last September Mrs. Boesen employed Brad Sanders to kill q heifer for her and peddle it out. Tom Johnson elalmed that the heifer belonged to him, and swore out a warrant for Mrs. Boesen before Squire Graves of this place. The case was dis missed by Squire Graves, at the suggestion of Mir. Johnson, who did not believe there was suffi- cient evidence to convict. Later A. $. Vandeventer, of Fayette- vile, assistant prosecuting at- torney, swore out warrants against Sanders and Mrs. Boesen,
The Springdale news., 1905-04-28

and they were bound over by
 Squire Walker of Fayetteville. They were indicted by the grand jury last October, but the case went over until this term of court.
 The heiter over which the trouble arose was in Mrs. Boesen' $ pasture with other stock belong ing to her and she claimed that she thought II belonged to her. When she found out otherwise she agreed to make restitution by paying NIT. Johnson, and he agreed To this at one time, but fearing t might implieate him in some manner, refused to ac- cept the money. Mrs. Boesen is daughter of Mir. Kelley, living on the river. has been married twice, and a number of witnesses were placed OH the stand who said they would not believe her on oath. Brad Sanders Is step- son of Bill Johnson and iS now serving a sentence in jail on the charge of stabbing a horse. His trial Is yet to be held.

J. II. McQuerry, living in the vicinity of Huntsville, arrived Sunday from New Mexico with a car load of mares and d car load jennets. He took them to his breeding farm near Huntsville. Among the number were some small burros not much larger than a big jack rabbit, which are used in the..mountainous country as pack animals. Mack Hinson bought one of them for his little son, and 1t has attracted consid- erable attention.

Notes.

The docket is extremely light this term.
 $. l.. Todhunter and Ed Sharpe are assisting Sheriff Philips in waiting on the court.
 Lots of people are looking for the grand jury. Some want to prevent the indictment of friends and others want to have some one indicted.
 There Is to be no smoking in the court room, and euSpidors are scrttered throughout the rooms and in the halls so there is no ex- cuse for anyone spitting on the floor.
 Benton County has heretofore had the honor of having the best court house in the district, but she has to give way now. Benton County's court house was built during the reconstruction period, and It cost almost as much as our new court house.
 The only reference made to the new court house by Judge Till man was in closing his address to the grand jury when he told them the people of the county had pledged their credit for the mag nifeent building and admoni>hed them to act iudiciously in their investigations and to expedite business as rapidly as possible 50 there might be no unnecessary ex. pense.
 One thing that was overlooked in the arrangements of the new court house was press table for exclusive use of the newspaper workers. When this was sug- gested to County Judge Williams Monday morning and he very kindly hustled around and had a table placed in the court room, but 1t hadn't been there long until II was piled high with hats, umbrel- las, overcoatS, etc. If Judge Will Hams wants to do the real nice thing by the newspapers of the county he will put in a good roomy table with drawers. fitted with lock and keep, and assign one 10 each newspaper in the county that makes application for it.. This would be a courtesy which The News feels sure would be ap- preciated by the newspapers of the county.
