cd TO the court which had been spec

purpose, that it was unable to agree, and
was discharged.
AT I.3o O'Clock A. NJ. the jury was
called into the courtroom by Recorder

places and the court officials had all
arrived the Recorder asked why the de-
fendant had not been brought into court
A deputy sheriff replied that she had
been feeling i'll and had retired, but was
then being dressed.
After a wait OF IL minutes Miss Pat
terson appeared, looking pale and in a
highly nervous state.
Gentlemen, have YOU been able 10
reach an agreement" asked the Record
er of the jury
No, sir, replied the foreman.
rs there any question of law or OF
evidence in which can instruct you?
Is there any way in which the court can
help you?"

his felow-members of the jury, then
turned to the Recorder and said:
No, sir; | don't believe you can help

"Then you will retire to reconsider the
matter"

ever, for the defendant to be released on
bail and the case dropped.

her case out. Nan Patterson sat the

based partly on rumors which were cur
rent about the Criminal Courts Build

taken in the jury room were decidedly
in her favor. The jury had the case

Last Sundays Turkey Shoot

As advertised the turkey shoot for last Sunday under the auspices of MT. Jacob Salzan was pulled off at the grounds of the gun club. It was a beautiful day, not breath of air was stirring, and the shoot CTS were at their best. In order to fool the marksmen the turkeys at 200 yard range were placed on dry goods box, wh ich elevated them some three feet above the ground. But that made no difference, and the way the birds fell before the onslaught was caution.
 Following is list of those who were successful: J. B. Jones 5, H. Hicks 3. R. M. Reese 2, E. Hack ley 2, Harry Miner 2, V. H. Melick 2, c. A. Neal ?; the following killed one each: H. D. Johnson, w. J. Parker, J. H. Hudson, Fred Baum, Bobby Burns.
 One of the two credited to Neal was shot for Mrs. AL Wakefield, he shooting for her. Last year at one of the shoots Al. Stricklin killed one for her and as she wished to see all the fun left the turkey lying on the ground. When she was ready to go home the turk was not to be found. This time, needless to say she took no chances.
 Here is the list of "also rans:" P A. Melick, H. Yoder, Bert Griffith Norman Nellis, Herbert Gilson, H Victor, J. C. Phelan.
 The above score, as taken from the tally sheet, shows that there were 23 turkeys killed, while MT Salzman says he only had p. Not knowing to whom the extra turkey has been credited we publish the list as it appears.
 There has been a very noticeable improvement in the shooting of the boys around town over what was done year or two ago, all owing to the target practice. We under stand that MT. Teeple on his two shoots, even with the bad weather just about broke even. MT. Salz- mans turkeys lasted about as long as the proverbial snowball, and he quit some to the bad. He's game though, and says he will hold an other shoot in the not distant fu- ture. Don't know of anyone's tur- keys we'd as soon kill as yours, Jake.

PETITION TO ASHURST
People Demand of Him the Ex-

NENS IildV d PClitiOii tO eiAC HUI. H. F. Ashurst. district attorney of the county, had been prepared and that while no effort was being made to get signers the paper had been placed in the postoffice, where most of those who noticed it had affixed their names. No doubt had some one gone around with the paper several hundred names could have been obtained, but while there are only about forty on the list they are men who have interest enough | in the matter to hunt up the petl- ton and affix thereto their sigma lures, and for that reason the peti- tion is of more value than it other wise would have been, for under ordinary circumstances most peo pie will sign petition and never ask a question. As the district at torney of the county has now re- turned from California and is again at the county seat we have this week taken up the petition and for warded same to him. We have used considerable space in the NEWS in trying to obtain for the public the report. and have been only partly successful. What little we did receive from the attorney went long way toward showing the public that the NEWS had not been talking through its hat. We now trust that the district attorney will reconsider his refusal to give the report up for publication and will come forward with it in accordance with the request of the people sign ing the petition that was presented to him this week. It is as follows: PETITION. To the Hon. Henry F.
