Journal May
Go to Thatcher

Now comes the information, told
by thousand busy tongues, that
our neighbor up street will short
ly move to Thatcher to reside.
Resolutions have been adopted by
our Office force directing that the
office towel be draped on the front
door knob and that the "devil's"
face be daubed with ink for two
days in honor of the sad bereave.
ment.
Terrible thought! Thatcher is
prohibition town. The lid is on
as tight as Jail door. No style
Of a wink, no smile, no mysterious
grip can open bottle in our
neighboring town. 1t is the seat
of learning, the center of educa-
tional effort, and the point where
the young and old mind is taught
to shoot on pathways of morality
and temperance. A bottle of beer
is an unknown quantity. The
thirsty wayfarer must confine his
cups to the foaming soda or the
festive lemonade or journey hither
to Stafford. No foolishness in this
line is tolerated by the good peo-
pie of Thatcher.
When the Journal is comfortably
installed in its new quarters in
Thatcher, whence will come the
wild, weird inspiration tor its
scare heads? What soda or lem
onade can arouse such phantas,
magorica IN the editorial brain as
will result in u six column wood
type announcement? What waters
of lethe can be invoked to drown
the sorrows of the tripod. occupant,
when foaming scuttle of suds
cometh not? Woe and woe again.
Likewise, whoa Emma. The start
ling announcements will fade away
into one. liners.
In the meantime THE GUARDIAN
extends sympathy to the kind
citizens of Thatcher, and hopes
they will bear, with as much
equanimity as possible, this dread
ed incursion into their unsuspect-
ing midst. They have not de
served such untoward fate, but in
this life we cannot always be
choosers. They may rest easy in the
thought and hope that the vista
ton will not be for long.

DEFENSE INSANITY Fact is Demonstrated in the Trial of Mrs. Annie M.
 Bradley. STATEMENTOFCOUNSEL Prosecution Claims Attack on Ex- Senator Brown Was
 Premeditated.
sTATEMENTOF COUNSEL

Washington, Nov. 15.That the de- fense Of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley, on trial in the criminal court, No. 1, on the charge of murdering former United States Senator Brown, would be insan- ity, was made evident beyond question by the preliminary statement made to the court to-day by her attorney, MT. Hoover.
 The prosecution consumed the entire forenoon concluding the examination of its witnesses in chief to prove the facts of the killing, and when it rested the case MT. Hoove1 followed with his pre- liminary outlin of the case for the de- fense. He de6 led the principal events of Mrs. BradG fs life and entered min utely into thu circumstances of her in- timacy with [ 1T. Brown, saying that it would be pN 7ed that she was com pletely undg his domination and fore casting testL iony which would be ad- duces. to sag " that she was mentally irresponsl:I 7shen she fired the fatal shBt He fS no said that 1t would be sho Sn a3agEl lr, Brown had performed rGaTa ,sllsEa oAe criminal act upon her Aah asls av$n hands and that he had presented her with the pistol with which she killed him, telling her that she. should use it upon his wife if she gave her trouble According to MT. Hoover's statement it will also be shown that there is 8 taint of insanity in SITS. Bradley's family
 The testimony presented to-day by the prosecution yves all intended to show reconciliation on the part of Mrs Bradley in killing Senator Brown. It was stated that she had told mem bers of the police force in this city immediately after her arrest that she had not acted upon any sudden im- pulse, and one witness from Salt Lake Citv was introduced to testify to the circumstances that she had told him some six months before the tragedy that she intended to kill MT, Brown if he did not legitimatize her children by marriage. Another witness from that city told of two efforts by Mrs. Brad 1 ley to invade Mr. Browns house sup posedly with hostile intent Max Brown, the son of thedeceased senator, was on the stand for 8 few minutes during the day,
 The court adjourned at 3 o'clock un- til next Monday, It IS understood that when the trial is resumed the state will stubbornly antagonize Mrs. Bradleys' plea of insanity and that much rebut- ting testimony will be introduced.
