M0rtuary.

Mrs B. F. Garabrini passed to her
long home early tuesday afternoon,
at the age of nearly so years. She
had been seriously ill for long time
before the final summons came. She
was one of the pioneer residents of
this vicinity. For many years she
lived near Clinton, where her hus-
band died about 20 years ago. She
leaves a large family, OF four sons
and four daughters. The funeral
took place September 6, according to
the solemn rites of the Catholic
church, and the remains we're follow
ed to the grave by large number of
mourners, including many old pio-
neers and native sons and daughters.
Vim. R. Kay, after lingering ill
ness, died at his home near Newman
Vile last evening. He was also an
old and highly respected resident of
this section. For many years he
followed his profession of music, and

every part of the county. Indeed,
the band of Kay Brothers and Turner,
was noted not only in this, but all
nearby counties. All the member
of that organization have travelled the
way of all flesh. He was nearly 80
years old, a native of New Jersey.
He leaves one son, JOS Kay, of the
leila mine, and Mrs Phoebe Hall.
The funeral will take place to-
morrow.
Richard Mitchell died at the kenn-
edy fiat September 6, after a sickness
of nearly three years of miners con-
sumption. He leaves a brother, John
Mitchell, of Jackson, and a mother
in his native country, England. The
remains will be taken to Sonora
tomorrow, where the funeral will
take place on Sunday.

A DlABOLlCAL ACT.
A Powder Trap Laid in Kennedy
Mine.

Reports are current on the street oil
one of the most dastardly outrages
that we have been called upon to
chronicle. 1t was at the Kennedy
mine. Fortunately, the plot mis-
carried, as it was revealed in way
that did not involve injury to life or
limb. There Is little doubt, how
ever, that it was a scheme to kill.
Ibis is how the story is reported to
US.
Sunday and Monday underground
operations were suspended to enable
the company to do the necessary
work to adjust the safety clutches to
the sklps. On Saturday night one of
the drill men known as Liberatto. an
ltalian-his correct name we believe
is DeVecchio-and his partner left a
hole half drilled. This was at the
27OO level. 1t is no uncommon thing
to leave a hole over night in this
shape. The finishing of the hole was
left for Tuesday. There were there
fore over two days that the half drill
ed hole was left. On going to work
Tuesday, and continuing the drilling,
a giant powder cap was reached after
drilling very short distance.
The cap was exploded but did no
damage. Of course the fact of find :
ing cap in this manner awakened a
suspicion of foul play. An IN.
vestigation was made, revealing a
deliberate and malicious plot to kill.
In the interval of suspension of work,
some one had drilled a hole with the
machine in a diagonal course, so that
when the regular drillers completed
the half bored hole it would strike
this unsupported hole. This hole had
been charged with eight or nine caps
and two sticks of giant powder.
There was no fuse, and the opening
of the drilled holo was carefully
plugged up with dirt, so as to conceal
it. By miracle one of the caps went
off without firing the rest or explod-
ing the powder. Had the charge ex-
ploded it would have blown them to
pieces.
1t is said that DeVecchio refused
to walk out in the strike that was
inaugurated a month ago by the red
flag organization. The superstition is
that this outrage was the outgrowth
of that affair.
The machine must have been shifted
to bore this trap hole. The drill
left in the hole by the regular work
ers had been taken out, and shorter
one-the one that had bored the con-
cealed hole--ha been left in its
place. The machine had been moved
back to its former place, so as not to
awaken suspicion. The workers we're
not aware of the substitution of drills
until the whole plot had been un-
covered. 1t is supposed that the
work was done between Saturday
evening and Sunday morning.

STAPLES FREE.
On Motion of District Attorney the
Case is Dismissed.

The case of People vs. f. M. Staples
was brought to a close yesterday
afternoon, by the dismissal of the
proceedings, and release of the de-
PENDANT. The defendants counsel,
A. Camlnetti, was present, but took
no part in the finale, other than as
an onIooker. There was no occasion
for any effort on his part, as the dis
trict attorney assumed all the re-
sponsibility of the matter, and made
the motion for the prisoners dis
charge. The district attorney stated,
that the defendant had been found
guilty of murder in the first degree
for the killing of his wife, Edna May
Staples, on August 81, 1904, without
recommendation. On appeal to the
supreme court, the verdict was re-
Gently set aside, and a new trial
ordered. This decision was based
almost entirely on the insutticiency
of the evidence to warrant the veI
dict. He had made inquiries since,
and found it impossible to present
any more evidence than was pro-
duced at the former trial; in fact,
the prosecution would not be able to
present as strong case as it did
then. The decision of the higher
court meant that the prosecution
must either present more evidence or
dismiss the case. 1t was beyond his
power to get additional evidence, and
therefore he felt it his duty to move
that the case be- dismissed and de-
PENDANT discharged.
The court remarked that the YER
dict had been set aside solely on the
ground of insufficient evidence, and
not on the rulings of the court. All
the court rulings had been sustained,
except one, and that did not change
the view of the court. If reversal
of the judgment had been on the
rulings, the court would have been
inclined to deny the motion to dis
miss, as the errors might be avoided
in another trial. Bnt as it was the
motion was granted, and the defend
ant ordered discharged from custody.
Thereupon f. N. Staples left the
court room free man. There was
no one present in the court room
while these proceedings were had,
except the officers of the court and a
representative of the Ledger.
+. N. Staples has been in jail
eighteen months. He is looking
we'll; and does not seem to have lost
flesh Or suffered mentally by his
long Imprisonment.

And all night long the stars will keep

All the land with languor fills.
Dreamily the cricket chirrs;
Drowsily the locust whiras;
Ceaselessly the katydid.
In the dusky branches hid,
All the night long shrills and shrills
In the Moon of Goldenrod.
In the Moon of Goldenrod,
Orchard branches, laden all,
Droop to touch the orchard grass
And the harvest winds that pass
Pluck the fruits that mellow there
Purple plum and yellow pear,
Fling them to the lap of Fall,
In the Moon of Goldenrod.
In the Moon of Goldenrod,
Palely blue the asters blow;
Here and there. amid the green
OF the sumac thicket seen,
Autumn's crimson banner tells
That the Summers citadels
Weaken TO their overthrow,
In the Moon of Goldenrod.
