DILLON HELD
FOR MURDER

Racine, Wis, April Court Com
missioner John T. Wentworth heard
the preliminary examination of Will
liam J. Dillon, charged with the MUIR
der of Jacob C. Best of Milwaukee.
Kearney, Thompson 4 Myers and At
torney M. K. Walker of Simmons,
Nelson & Walker appeared for Dillon,
and the, state end of the case was
taken care Of by District Attorney Full
ton Thompson. The prisoner, Dillon.
sat behind his attorneys, and ap-
peared unusually nervous and when
Paul Sores was testifying Dillon acct
dentaiiy fell backward with his chair,
the incident creating quite an excite
ment until Dillon resumed his seat.
The star witness in the case was
Hans Gibson, the porter, who fled
from the city and was captured ut
Madison.
Gibson testified that he heard Best
call Dillon vile name; that Dillon
went back of the bar, secured a guhr,
came back, aimed It at the head of
Best and threatened to kill him il
he did not take back the vile name !:
that Best started out OF the door !;
again applied the bad name; that Dill
Ion kicked him; that Best turned and
kicked Dillon and at the same time
Dillon went back and grunted aud
then he raised his right hand dad
shot Best.
Robert Hoffman. laundryman. tes-
titled that he was passing Dillon's sa-
loon when the shooting took place.
Dillon was standing inside OF tie
saloon, about five feet from the door,
he said. Il saw shot fired. I think
1t was shot by Dillon, at least
thought It was he. Dillon was stand
ing erect, having the gun In his right
hand, which vas raised on line
about even with his hips
Court Commissioner Wentworth said
that there was reasonable proof to
show that Dillon killed Best and held
him to the next term Of circuit court
for trial on the charge OF murder.

We were lovers, Marie and |. We
played together on the lawn, or In the
gardens whore my father was at work,
and sometimes we strayed away in
the wood close by and searched for
ferns and wild flowers to carry back
and give to Maries mother
On warm, pleasant days Marie s
mother, Mrs. Mason, would give us a
picnic, and the cook would pack
basket of goodies and we would carry
it over TO the wood and have our feast
together under the big maple tree. We
were especially fond Of that old hoI-
low tree and many frolic VIC had

hollow of the tree, and often it was
called the post office, and we dropped
our scrawlcd letters in the box.
One time | was up at the big stone
house and the nurse told me that !
could never marry Marie, for she was
a rich little lady, and her father Col
Mason, while | was poor and only the

alone that day and threw myself down
on the messy ground, and | fear |

Of flowers and then print letter very

in the hollow tree, and Marie would
find them when she went out for a
walk.

became the principal Of the village

How strange it seemed to be in my
old home again, to sleep in my coy
room and enjoy the simple yet eX-
celent fare my mother prepared.
My father was still employed at
the big stone house, for Col Mason
wished the place kept exactly as it
was when his wife died. So the lawn
was always clipped, the walks and
drives were trim and neat and flowers
bloomed in the gardens and cOnserva-
tories.
In all my years of study | had not
forgotten my little sweetheart Marie,
though | saw her but once after she
went away to school. | often thought
of the slim, bright-eyed girl of Is. and
wondered if womanhood had altered
her much. She was ever so happy
and kind then, as we walked in the
gardens and talked of old times. But
she would not let me write to her, for
she assured me her aunt would not
allow it. .5ut "a remember you just
the same" she said, and Wen meet
again, some day" Had she forgotten
her promise?
1t was during my second year at
the academy that she came home. She
had been travelling with her aunt since
she finished school, but the colonel
was not very well and had sent for

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IA, 1907.

The effect of the financial furry on
politics is naturally engaging the atten-
ton of politicians everywhere, and part
icularly at the national capital Public
opinion at Washington is by no means
that of the country generally, but it is
always interesting, and it mOdities Itself
in proportion as the country is heard
from. Its earlier manifestations, there
fore, after the happening of any import
ant events are often illusory.
The officeholders and the people whom
they influence are of the opinion that
the.panc will not operate directly in
favor of the Democratic party and a
gainst the Republican. This opinion is
held, or at least expressed, in spite of
the fact that the panic OF 1893 put tine
Democratic party out of business, al
though il resulted from causes that I'M
questionably began under Republican
administration. The panic began direct
ly after a Democratic administration
came in and therefore could not have
been due to the action Of that admins
tration. Panics are of slow growth. But
because the panic of 1898 happened after
a Democratic administration had come
in, the party was turned out of power.
A casual observer might expect that
this financial disturbance would have a
similar effect upon the party now IN
power. If it be admitted that the dis
turbance will not be so far reaching as
that Of 1893, it remains true that the
furry of 1854, with which that of this
year has been compared, was sufficient
TO turn out the Republicans and lead TO
the election of Democratic President.
1t may be that it will not now have that
effect owing to difference in the condi- |
tons but it is still hard to see why the
Republican party will not be injured by
it.
