BY
JURY'S VERDICT
Court Says There was Suf-
fiCieDt Evidence

Not Guilty, was the verdict re-
turLed at noon today by the jury in
the case of the state versus John Burns
and Frank Appleton charged with bur-
glary
The case while of no great import
ance to the members of the Walla
Walla bar, was looked upon as one of
the hardest fought legal battles of the
year. During the entire case the ev-
idence submitted by the state was di-
rect and damaging. The testimony of
D. L. LeClaire, prosecuting witness,
was considered by The prosecution. as
sufficient in strength to convict both
men, yet the jury after a deliberation
of nearly three hours returned a YER
dict of not guilty
The case, as a whole, was a puzzle
and contained many peculiar features
Following the opening address to the
jury, the prosecution called their star
witness, Mr.. LeClaire. This witness
gave a detailed account of his eXperi-
ence on the 21st day Of July last. He
told how he had discovered the arti-
cles missing, his inquiry regarding the
two suspected men, and later, the cap
ture. Other witnesses followed in rapid
succession until it seemed that there
was no possible evidence left for the
defence to work upon.
Defendants Confess.
The defendants, so it is alleged en-
tered the home of L. D. LeClaire, a
resident of Walker, this county, and
securing therefrOm fur boa and a
shotgun. Mr.. LeClaire discovered the
theft the following morning and in
company with neighbors tracked the
men. The accused men were sur
rounded and searched. The boa was
discovered in the coat sleeve of Apple
ton. Later Burns confessed to the
crime and said that ht had sold the
gun to an Italian laborer for $3.50. The
money was refunded to Mr.. LeClaire,
and the two men were brought to this
city.
Evidence in the case was completed
shortly before the adjournment of the
court yesterday afternoon, anI this
morning as soon as court convened,
the jury was instructed and immedf-
ately retired. Owing to the scarcity
of jurors, a special venire was drawn
about 10 o'clock, and during that time,
the court was compelled to delay pro-
ceedings. Of the 21 drawn from the
first and second venire, sufficient
number qualified 20 sit on the case of
State VS.. Hoover. The work Of i'm
pannelng the jury was completed
shortly before noon today, and only a
few moments later the jury in the APP
pleton and Burns case returned their
verdict.
AS soon as the jury returned their
verdict, the court addressed them call
ing their attention to the nature of the
evidence submitted, and stating that
the testimony submitted proved beyond
a doubt that the defendants were
guilty as charge. He did not question
the earnestness of the jurors in eXecut
ing their work, yet he believed that the
verdict returned was not in accord
ance to their own convictions.
Attorney Blandford, counsel for de-
fense. made a brilliant and convincing
argument which no doubt was directly
responsible for the nature of the ver-
dict returned by the jury.

The Rotation Of Crops.

Farmers read great deal about
rotation of crops. They don't pay
much attention to it in the Southern
United States, but when they do they
think the result has been accomplish
ed In changing from cotton to corn,
and from corn to cotton.
Farmers of extraordinary foresight
think they have more than accom-
plised it when they add oats or COW
peas to the rotation. Very few OF
them ever think of adding cattle as
one element of the rotation but as a
matter OF fact this is the most I'M
portant feature OF all. If the farmer
would set apart certain strip Of land
land grow cotton on it one year and
another strip of land and grow corn
sen Sit the same year, and on another
strip grow peas, and on still another
strip maintain large herd of beef
cattle or dairy cattle, and then in
succeeding years swap these strips
around, he would commence to get
the full value of his land and his ener-
giles.
The cotton farmer would Of course
never think OF abandoning his cotton
crop one year to grow corn for the
sake OF rotation, but the rotation can
be accomplished each year by divid-
ING the farm up into different sections
as above described.
The cattle crop is q somewhat new
proposition for the cotton planter,
but itjs most logical one. A large
number OF cattle can be maintained
throughout most Of the year on

sent Popular Play This Evening
at the uditorium-BriIlIant
Audience Expected

The presentation of '"Rigoletto" tonight
by the Milan grand opera company IN
honor of Padavoni promises to be one of
the most notable successes Of the season.
Judging from the audiences which have
attended the previous presentations of
"Rigoletto'' this opera is the most popular
of the company's entire repertoire.
The advance sale of seats for tonight's
performances promises one OF the largest
and most brilliant audiences which has
yet attended the opera.
The recent triumph of Madame Pado-
vani in the role of Gilda is too fresh In
the memory of music lovers to need any
comment.
Between acts and Madame Padovani
will sing 'The Pearl of Brazil by David
and '"The Valse Mireille' by Gounod.
Both these lyric gems give splendid op--
portunity for the display Of the beautiful
coloratrre voice of the diva. In the bril-
liant supporting caste will be Arcangelt'
whose masterful dramatic work and lyric
capabilities have made him one OF the
favorite artists of the company. He Will
sing "Rigoletto''; Parola, the silken-
voiced tenor as II Duka and Wulman, the
great basso as Sparafucile.
Friday night "Otello" will be repeated

LADIES' TAILOR LOSES
JOB AND WAGES, TOO
Fits One Suit and Receives Walking
PAPERS - Tells Troubles to
Policeman and Seeks
Redress

Claiming that he had been ignomin--
iously boosted from his position ana
his reputation as ladies tailor Dues
toned by his unfeeling employer, N.
Sherman sought a complaint against s.
Bentoff, the ladies tailor of 635 South
Hill street, for two days wages.
81 was hired at $22 per week and !
etted only one suit when they fired me,
explained the man who sought the con-
ISOLATION of the officers of the law for
his wounded feelings.
"Did they lose the customer" was
asked him by an unfeeling deputy, who
evidently did not sympathize with the
immaculate little fellow who was al
most moved to tears over the story he
told of his abuse by his employer.
Bewailing the insult to his lost repu-
tation and proclaiming loudly that he
was q first-class ladies' tailor, the little
man was taken into Attorney McCul-
lough's office, where he made out bill
for the two days wages, which the at
torney will try to collect.
