The widow of the victim of the homi-
eide. Mrs. Lariviere, with a little boy sits
sadly in court room. She appears to be
less than thirty years old, and shows
some native blood in her complexion.
\ most grewsome exhibit was the
skull of the deceased. introduced by the
| prosecution. 1t might have been a plas-
ter cast. by the way the doctors handled
it. but some of the others brushed their
hands with evident digust after taking
hold of it.
The prisoner. George Letter. is not in
appearances a man who would be taken
as guilty of murder or any other CRIME.
He looks more like a clerk or business
man, and is dressed neatly. He does not
show any signs of being even nervous
over his present position. His wife. who
is a very fair-faced young woman, with
checks full of color. sits by his side, with
their baby. about a year old. with her.
Letter is an American. born in Wisconsin
and lived in Minnesota before coming to
this state two years ago to reside. He
has. however, been coming to this county
for several years, at times.
One of the curious things shown in
this trial is that men see the same things
in SO many different lights. In the
present murder case there are a half
dozen, or so, OF witnesses for the state
who declare that Lariviere stepped on
the sidewalk several feet to one side of
the storm she'd of the restaurant, and
then as he walk several steps along the
Sidewalk past Letter the latter struck
him an overland blow with something
in his hand. hitting the back Of Lari
%viere's head. and that Lariviere fell for
ward on his hands and then rolled Of
the walk to the street. On the other
hand. just as many witnesses on the
other side declare that Lariviere
stepped on the sidewalk directly in from,
of Letter. that instantly Letter struck ar
underhand blow. and that he had moth

dot OF acquittal. Letter, who was en-
couraged during the trial of the case by
the presence Of his wife and their little
daughter, showed signs of the suspense
under which he had labored, and when
the jury pronounced the words that
meant freedom for him he threw himself
in the arms of his attorney and sobbed
like a child. Recovering himself, with
tears still coursing down his cheeks. he
thanked the jury for the verdict and
turning to the court thanked him for his

tory of Western Kansas.

Garden City. Kan, Dec. 19.-It has
been positively decided that the next
sugar beet factory win be located at
Deerfeld- The exact location there has
not been determined. but that is of little
Importance to the general public, as it
will be Deerfeld proposition wherever
it is. 1t will be along the main. line Of
the railroad, but whether north or south
is unknown.
The immense reservoir at Lakin has
decided the proposition. The reservoir
has cut off a goodly portion Of the irIi-
gable land north of Lakin, and sent the
prospects for factory there glimmer-
ing. The water from the reservoir will
irrigate the land to the east, and as the
land is nearly level Desrfield will re-
ceive the most benefit from it, although
Garden City will come in for a good
slice of the benefit.
The factory at Deerfield will not be
completed in time to handle the crop of
beets grown next year. The United
States Sugar and Land company pushed
the factory here to completion in very
short time, and have learned from ex-
perience that it is hard TO secure suffi-
cient men to complete such a big <nder-
taking in such a short TIME, and so win
