Left Out Heirs and Assigns"

PLAINFIELD, Sept. 26.-The alb

drawn by himself ten years ago and
probated eve years since, has just

testator's intention as TO whether the
wife was to hold the property abso-
lutely in fee-simple, or in common
with the children. Since one of the
children is under age, 1t is impossible

CONVICTED OF MURDER
WITHOUT A JURY.
Negro Himself Agreed to Be Tried by
Judge Alone-First Case of the
Sort in Virginia.

MADISON, Va, Sept. 26.-For the
first time under the new Constitution
of this State, and probably in the his
tory of the United States, a man was
tried for his life yesterday and sem
fenced to death without the interven-
ton of a jury.

placed on trial for numbering Pearl
Thomas his counsel asked to ave him
tried by the court without a jury, and
the commemorative attorney con-
scented.
The evidence was conclusive that Gill
lison attempted to shoot the woman
for telling a tale about him. and, when
she ran from him, crushed her skull
with the butt of his gun. The court
found him guilty of murder in the first
degree and sentenced him to be hanged
on the first Friday in November.

One of the Beaver county boys"
who is known to his acquaintance as
Abe Fotheringham, has been in Salt
Lake the greater part of the week on
mining business in which he is con-
cCrned the working interests being
located near Milford. "Abe" is a fine
type of the Beaver product-hardy,
industrious, persevering, young at any
age and with an eye ever open to the
hest chances for forwarding his own
and his communitys interest. There
arc many others in the same class,
and Truth is glad to know that they
are doing well and have excellent
prospects. The story of Beaver
county's greatness in a mineral and
productive way is just beginning to be
told, and when it is finished, or even
well along, it will be one of the most
interesting in the annals of the west
crn country.
Calvin S. Buckwalter came in few
days ago from Rosebud, New in which
vicinity he spent the past four or five
months engaged in mining. He says
that region in point of mineral wealth
has no equal on the earth. He has
become interested in some fine prop
critics there adjoining the great
Brown Palace ground. He speaks
most encouragingly Of Lucky Boy,
Will Lawrence's property, also of the
Golden Anchor, Triangle, White Alps
and other properties. The town of
Rosebud has 1900 people and town
lots are selling at figures up in thou
sands. Mr.. Buckwalter will return
TO Nevada in few days.
The appointment of Messrs. Lynch
and Candland as recess appointments
after the senate had twice refused to
confirm those gentlemen caused
good deal of talk in political circles.
Cur idea is that under normal cir
crmstances the Governor would not
have been justified in thus, as it
were, thrusting his appointees into
office against the wishes of the legis-
lature, but in this instance conditions
were not normal. A few members of
the senate concocked a conspiracy
against Lynch and Candland particu-
l;rly against the former. 1t was a
conspiracy pure and simple and the
governor did well in thwarting it.
AS general rule, however, it is
dangerous precedent to set. Suppose
we had a governor sometime who
wanted to be dictator and appoint
whom he would independent of the
legislature, he could easily do so by
simply delaying his appointments un-
til after the legislature had adjourned.
This would be contrary to the spirit
and intent of the law, but not con-
trary to the letter. 1t wouldn't be
bad idea for the next legislature to
amend the law, and while doing so
II wouldn't be out of the way for the
legislature to make a provision pro-
Eibiting any member of the legisla
ture from holding any executive Of
fee under the state.
