SUPREME COURT TO.
REVIEW BUCK CASE
MAN SENTENCED TO DEATH
APPEALS CASE
Has Been Convicted In Superior Court
of Numbering Mrs. Garfield.
Few Gases for Con-
sideration

Among the appeal cases which come
before the supreme court at it's ses-
sion, this week, that of Morris Buck,
sentenced to be hanged for the alleged
murder of Mrs Garfield, is one of the
most noteworthy. Supreme court opens
this afternoon at o'clock. Motions
will be In order and routine business
transacted.
Tomorrow will be taken up with
cases en- banc.
Arguments for a new trial for Buck
will probably contain references to the
alleged extreme utterances made by
District Attorney Fredericks to the
jury during the course of his argu-
ment.
Mrs. Garfield was murdered on the
porch of her residence in January of
last year.
Buck was a former coachman of the
family and wrote letter to Mrs. Can
field asking for money. He went to
the house and deliberately shot Mrs.
Canheld and then ran away, accord
ing to the evidence of the police.
His trial in the superior court was
attended by a big crowd of morbid
persons, and from the first there
seemed little doubt as to the result.
Bucks counsel secured a stay of SEN
tence pending an appeal.
Many lawyers believe new trial
will be granted.
The only two other appealed Grim
inal cases are those Of the people
against Kaufman and Hoover
There are nine cases for disposal
tomorrow. The court remains en- banC
for this week.
For next week a number Of cases
are set for the two departments.

and ordered the four anchors to be cast
out Of the stern. Another greater sol
dier than he, General Grant, by way Of
analogy, referred to the Bible as the
sheet anchor Of our liberties, and Paul
speaks OF Hope as an anchor to the
soul, both sure and steadfast.'
Now | am using this text merely as
an allegory. Young men coming to a
great city, away from home and its
sweet religious influences, need anchor
age lest they drift upon the rocks
There are four anchors that will hold
him as he takes ship on the sea of life.
He Will never strike rocks nor quick
sand or drift shoreward II he has these
anchors.
First, he must be loyal to the faith
of his parents. Do anything else but
do not forget the old folks religion.
Keep a plenty Of It in your own heart
fasten firmly to the rock of ages and
you Will will face any storm of tempta-
tion and never make shlpwreck your
soul. If you break this magic tie Of
home influences you are gone sure and
nothing In Gods world can stop you.
If you can say truthfully The Lord Is
my fathers God, and l will exalt him,
you are safe.
Again, attach yourself to some
church that you may worship a coven-
God. Keep yourself in close
touch with the means of grace. Identify
yourself the first week you land in the
city with the church of your fathers.
Be steadfast in your attachment to the
house of the Lord.
Third, another anchor is a firm grip
on moral principle. There has never
been a time when there is greater de-
mand for that sort of anchorage. Men
are drifting into all sorts Sf bypaths.
who have not the power to say No
and to stand by with a determined face,
four square to all the winds that blow
The man who will not bulge one inch
from right Is sure winner in the race.
Intemperance, gambling licentiousness
and all the evil forces about you are
so many storms and cyclones that en-
danger you; lest you strike these rocks,
cast anchor to moral courage-courage
to do, courage to be and courage to
suffer.
Fourth, the last anchor Is strongest
Of all. 1 mean personal grip on Jesus
Christ l do not mean you should have
merely hold on him, but that he
should have a hold on you. The hope
sure and safe Is the best of all anchors,
and that hope is in God as a personal
Savior. Trust no man, lean on no man,
accept no man but in the name of God
and your mortal soul will get a good
grip on him who is mighty to save"

MOTHER WANTS HER BABY THAT
SHE GAVE TO FOSTER PARENTS

Angeles he came to the Reed home and
asked for picture of their child for
his sick wife. His request was COM
piled with and he was given a little
picture of Eva, and her adopted father
and mother. AS result of the visit
the couple were reconciled and came
back to Los Angeles.
Wants Her Baby Back
A short time after their return Mrs.
Seville called up Mrs. Reed and asked
her to come to see her. Mrs Reed
promised to, but declared she would
not bring the child.
When she visited the woman who
had given up her only child, Mrs. Reed
saw. in a conspicuous place in Mrs.
Seville's bodouir an enlarged picture
of the baby, her husband and herself.
The mother noticed her glance. II
keep that picture where 1 can always
see it," she said, ut is all have left
of my daughter"
Tearfully, she pied to be given her
baby again, but the little girl has been
with her adopted parents more than
a year and a half, and for them to
give her up now would be as painful
as burying her. II can never give her
up" declared Mrs. Reed. I'VE love
her as one of our own, and she has
filled the place of our own little girl
W SuCn d great SAIeIlJ uOH KNOW
how 1 could get along without her.
AS long as 1 live and am able to care
for her 1 will never give her up without
a struggle. 1t would be worse than If
we never had had her. The only way
she ever will go back again is the way
she came to us-through the courts"
AS the mother is unwilling to brave
the publicity, and declares she will
never go through it again." it is prob

mitted to keep the little maid, who has
won such a warm place in their hearts.
Little Eva is a wonderfully beauti-
full child. Her large expressive brown
eyes win a place for her everywhere
she goes. When her adopted mother
took her east almost the last words of
Mrs Reeds dying mother were, You
beautiful little eyes"
Her four foster brothers, ranging In
age from 8 to IL years, almost adore
her. When even the youngest gets
penny Eva gets a large share of the
purchase. A bigger brother adds his
share of homage to the little miss, ana
the married sister back east" sends
cards and souvenirs addressed to Miss
Eva Reed"
This same sister, by the way, will
furnish a model to the growing maid,
who, If present appearances count for
much, will make quite as much a
belle as did her older foster sister,
Mrs John Bauer, nee Grace Reed, has
had more romance than falls to the lot
of the average girl.
While engaged in religious work in
the hospitals of Los Angeles, in her
rounds she met Mr.. Bauer. The young
man went back to Brooklyn, but re-
turned in a year to claim the pretty
blue-eyed belle as his bride, after
ward taking her back home with him.
At another time, while attending a
C. e. convention at Santa Barbara,
Miss Reed and another young woman
were awakened by hearing burglar
in their room; Miss Reed had the cour-
age to grapple with him and held MIN

WILL TRY TO RAISE BUFFALO
RichIand County Can Soon Boast OF q
Buffalo Farm.

Buffalo raising in Richand county
may soon become fact. The follow
ing is clipped from a Viola paper;
Viola now boasts of buffalo bull,
the last of herd of buffalo formerly
owned by Huber Bros, Of Cochrane.
Buffalo county. The animal is the
property of Messrs. C. +. Mathews,
of this place, j c. Jordan. Of Marsh
field, and Chas. Calkins, Of Milwaukee.
We believe this is the only buffalo in
the state. 1t is four years old this
spring and a very good specimen Of
bison that are now becoming almost
extinct.
1.-The owners are corresponding with
owners of buffaloes in other states
with view of purchasing two heifers.
The venture these men have gone into
will be watched with much interest as
buffaloes are becoming very rare.
