GRAND JURY is NOW AT WORK

SHE, but the request was denied her.
Say Harry Thaw is Sane.
New York, June 2S.-That Harry X.
Thaw, the slayer Of Stanford White,
u perfectly sane was the report made
by the alienists retained by the dis.
trict attorneys office to examine into
the prisoners mental condition. This
report was made after the physicians
had spent an hour with Thaw, who,
A. La 90 AUTO - Ia
sci, former Judge Olcott, refused to
answer any question and declared that
only actual force would compel him to
submit to q physical examination.
Mr.. Olcott said later that he was
unable to account for Thaw's attitude
and that he could only attribute it to
unaccountable obstinacy.
After the alienists had departed
Mrs. Thaw was permitted to see her
husband for the first time since his
arrest, She came to the Tombs in a
carriage, accompanied by her hus
bands brother, Joseph G. Thaw. The

Thaw had a long conference with
former Judge Olcott and Frederick
Delafield, at which it is believed thai
the line Of defense was discussed anG
the intention to interpose a plea Of
insanity was confirmed.
When asked about the letters from
White, which Mrs. Thaw turned ovel
to Mr.. Delafield, Mr.. Olcott said tha
he believed they would be of materia
value to the defense.

CASE OF THOMAS DAVIS
Webster Township Citizen Who is
Making Strenuous Endeavor to Re-
gain Possession of Little Estate
Has no Recourse Under the Law.

Deprived of wife, son and estate,
Thomas Davis, of Webster, who is
also unfortunate in being deformed,
has of late been frequent visitor to
the court house at Richmond where
he has sought help of Judge Fox and
other county officials in an effort to
get again possession of the small es-
tate that was left him by his mother.
Davis was married some years ago
and has one son. His wife secured a
divorce and was given possession of
the child. Soon after the marriage
Davis turned his property over to his
wife and is now left without anything
to live for. To make the matter worse
for him his former wife has remar-
ried and has decided the property that
was formerly his to her new husband
so that Davis son has no claim upon
it and this is a point that especially
distresses him.
The county officials have not been
able to give Davis any help and it APP
pears that he has no recourse. He has
been making a fruitless search
through the court house records on
various occasions but of course this
proceeding could not possibly be of
any assistance to him.

DEMOCRATS ARE IN DARK
UNDECIDED AS TO ACTION
Admit There is no Chance This Year
Cut Hope to Get Together for a
Great Pull in the Next National
Campaign.

indianapolis, July 1.-THE Indiana
rolls political correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer sends the follow
ing to his paper:
Chairman O'Brien has promised
some of the Democratic leaders that
he will call together the Democratic
State committee and the nominees of
the State convention within the next
few days to discuss and outline plan
of campaign. 1t was the understand
ing that a meeting would be held
within n fortnight after the State con-
vention and the delay cannot be I'M
derstood.
LAS matters stand now nearly all
the leaders seem to be in the dark as
to what is to be done. They say that
the party has been drifting aimlessly
long enough and that the time for a
getting together has about arrived II
anything is to be accomplished this
year.
THE lack of ginger in getting the
campaign under way is causing many
of the leaders to fret and to say point
ed things. and they are getting ready
to insist on change in the program
If something is not done shortly.
Those who do not believe the party
has chance to elect its ticket this
year are DESTROYS of making a fine or
ganization, which will cut the Repub-
lican majority down tos UGH proper
tions that the Democracy will go into
the fight in 1908 with a hope of vict-
ory."

he may ride freight to save three

may stop his watch at night to save

terday he said that half the crop
sold had not yet been delivered.
The highest crop average we have
yet heard of is % bushels to the
acre The grade may be said to be
unusually good. The local price is
now 72 cents. Several farmers have
told US that they will notNsell at the
present price, as they believe wheat
in two or three months will go to 80
cents, or higher.

Cooks garden along with other
corn. Wheat was grown on the
farm but none near the garden.
Some rye was grown near the gar
den, however, and if the ear Of corn
had not been pulled until later
might have proven to be rye. but it
looks more like wheat. Nothing
like it has been seen here before.
