 From every section of the country telegrams are pouring in upon District Attorney Devlin and Assistant Black, congratulatine them on the outcome of the case.
 Notice of appeal was made at once and served as stay oi execution of the sentence.
 Bonds in the sum of $3OOO were furnished hy the prisoners and they walked out of the courtroom bent and slow of step.-Los Angeles Examiner.

A COMMUNICATION
Editor WILLIAMS NEWS:

Editor W ILLIAMS NEWS:
 Dear Sir: I notice in the NEws of August 31st an article headed "A Hint to Husbands." and it seems so strange that there is such men in Williams, and I am very glad that my dear old man is not nne of them husba nds. I have one of the kindest of husbands, in fact he is the best husband I ever had. and we get along "swimmingly" together.
 Now, Mir. NEWS man, do really think it is more the fault of the woman than the man where the husband is such bear and so disaereeahle at home and has large punches of smiles for ladies away from home.
 Now, this is the way me and my old man get along. and we enjoy it immense, at least II do." First. we have separate sleeping apart ments and I don't allow him to come to my apartment and I never enter his. as that would be too social, and 1 never sit in his lap or allow him 10 kiss me. as that is too vulgar. Neither do I allow him to seat himself in the parlor when we have callers. as I can do the enter taining, and besides, the smell Of cigar smoke makes him sick. And the children like to have him in the kitchen with them during such calls.
 My dear old man keeps two and sometimes three good saddle horses so l can enjoy myself riding, but l never allow him to go along with me as there are SO many that are glad to go with me, and besides the children like him so we'll tc remain with them.
 Why, don't you know, it is just lovely to meet some good looking man when you are out riding and have him ride up close to you Why, some of them. that does business in town. in some of the saloona, has such sweet perfume something like a Milwaukee beel wagon. And they smoke sucf sweet cigars-the smoke is al sweet az rotten cabbage.
 We sometimes go to church anc az soon as church is out he zoe, directly home with the children. of course. finger to shake hand with the minister and say a fev words to the man who sings in thu choir and has glasses on his eyes
 My dear old man is so good t' me that he is just tickled to deatl when 1 go to a dance and leav him at home with the children. H. is 60 fond of them,
 Sometimes I get up in the morn ing and cook his breakfast, especia ly on Sunday morning. Then let him wash the dishes while
 make call and talk an hour or s, with Mrs. Gada bout.
 My husband is SO very fond Q dogs and cats, especially cats while I am not and never alloy cats in my house. And wh' should I when my. husband is
 good mouser. Quite often, when see mouse in the room, I get u on A chair and scream smouse mouse!" and the way my husba m comes and gets down on all four and canters after that mouse is | corker.
 Now. ladies, do as I do, and } will gamble that you will b happy. and that your husband vii he pleasant and agreed hle, an have a smile for you, and b happy-yes. very happy. BERTHA BAKER,"
