zIes County Commissioners.

Unless matters are ironed out in
some way within the next few days d.
C. Tillotson, we'll known as a lawyer
in this city, will have to go to Jail to
serve out a sentence of fine and costs
which was imposed upon him in the
court of Topeka snearly two years ago
on his conviction on charge of at
tempted assault which was preferred
against him by w. NJ. Glass.
This fracass which resulted in the
arrest of Mr.. Tillotson and his subse-
ouent conviction occurred during an
annual meeting of the officers. of the
Annuity Union. Mr.. Tiliotson had
possession of some of the books of the
organization with which he was con-
nected and Mr.. Glass made a demand
for them During the argument
which followed, and it occurred in
TilIotson's office, Mr.. Tillotson was ac-
cused of grabbing up Ratchet and
threatening to use it on Mr.. Glass. In
the latter's escape he fell down a long
flight of steps and hurt himself con-
stderably.
the attempted assault he appealed the
case to the district court. The appeal was
set for trial on several occasions, but was
continued from time to time at the re-
quest of Mr.. Tillotson- Whenever it was
set for trial the witnesses for the prose-
cution were called to court and among
the important witnesses was w. H. Rea-,

patcher Goes to Herington.

The offices of C. I. Kerr, trainmas-
ter of the Rock Island at this place
and J. Mundy, chief dispatcher of the
Rock Island, will be moved to Herring

force of the Rock Island eight men.
The change which has been contem-
plated for some time is made in order
to get all the business of the kansas
division of the Rock Island located at
Harrington which is the headquarters
for the division. The change has been
delayed for several months on account
of the lack of quarters for the two de-
partments at Harrington.
The offices of Trainmaster Kerr and
Trafnmaster D. Coughlin will be con-
solidated. Mr. Kerr will remain in the
position of trainmaster of the lines on

PREFERRED THE DOGS.
So f. b. White Wants a Divorce From
His Bride of Month

F. B. White and Eva M. White were
married on October 10, just a little over
one month ago.. This has been quite a
sufhciency Of married life for Mr. White
as is evidenced by the fact that he has
brought suit against his wife for an
absolute divorce. His petition in the
suit was filed with the clerk of the
district court yesterday afternoon.
He declares in this petition that dur
ing their entire married life, brief as
it was, he did everything within his
power to discharge his full duty toward
Mrs. White but that she has treated
him with extreme cruelty and makes
life most miserable for him.
Mr. White says that his wife pre-
ferred the companionship of a couple
of dogs to him and that she deserted
him on November 9 and has refused to
live with him since that time. Mr.
White states his wife frequently told
him that she married him merely to
provide herself with a home.

more. However, she rallied and ex-

health than usual. She would not
consent to leave her Canton home.
Bereft of children at an early stage
of married life, she showed her in

ROOSEVELT WILL
ATTEND FUNERAL
OF MRS. MCKINLEY

WASHINGTON, May 26.-While
little hope was entertained for her
recovery, the news of the death oil
Mrs. Mckinley caused profound sor-
row i'll the national capital, where
she SO long made her home while her
husband was a member of congress
and later president.
President Roosevelt learned of her
death shortly after o'clock, when
he received telegram from Secre-
tary Cortelyou, who had been in
Canton since Mrs. Mckinley was
first stricken. He Immediately an
nounced that he would leave for Can
ION Tuesday night to attend the flu
neral.
President Roosevelt will be ac-
companied on his trip to Canton by
Secretaries Root, Garfield and Will
son, Admiral Rixey, who attended
Mrs. Mckinley when she was in
Washington, and Secretary Loeb. Ad-
miral RiXey Is expected to return
from Canton tomorrow Secretary
Cortelyou, who was President Nc
Kinleys private secretary and assist
ant, and Justice Day of the supreme
court of the United States, will re-
main in Canton until after the flu
neral.
During the five years incum bency
of Mr.. Mckinley in the White House.
Mrs. Mckinley was in very poor
health and did not take a very ac-
tive part in the social life of the capi-
tai. On important state occasions
she would take her place in the re-
ceiving line, but on other occasions
the presidents niece, Miss Mabel NC
Kinley, who subsequently became
Mrs. Baer, would act as hostess. In
the spring of 1901, when President
Mckinley visited the Pacific coast,
Mrs. Mckinley was stricken in Cali
fornia and was desperately ill for
several weeks and for nearly a fort
night little hope was entertained for
her recovery. After returning to
Washin gton she suffered a relapse
and for many days was at the point
of death.

value of ideals and the beauty OF
fraternity. Referring to the Typo

his early life he was opposed to fra

BOISE, Idaho. May 26.-From
present indications it would seem
that another week must elapse before
the taking of testimony can begin in
the trial of William d. Haywood,
first of the alleged "inner circle" of
the Western Federation of Miners to
face a jury in answer to the >tate'3
charge of conspiring to murder for

But 12 members of the second spe-
cial venire of proposed jurymen re-
main. A thirteenth talesman was
drawn Saturday afternoon just prior
to adjournment and is confined with
the trial panel. He has yet to be ex-
amined as to all of his qualifications.
In addition to the vacancy which he
may or may not fill, there remain
'our peremptory challenges, two with
the prosecution and two with the de-
fense. The opposing attorneys seem
determined to use up every chal-
lenge the law allows. This means
that only seven of the final jurors
have been selected little more
than one-half-and the trial has been

weeks actual time.
1t is predicted that the remaining
members of the venire Bow in attend
ance will be exhausted by tomorrw
evening and third venire will then
have to be summoned by the sheriff.
If this step becomes necessary the
task will occupy the greater part of
Tuesday and Wednesday and Thurs
day being Memorial day, there will
be no session of court. The jury
may be completed Friday evening or
Saturday. In either event, it is pro-
bable that the attorneys for the state
will ask for an adjournment until

He asked Hummel if he had told

whether Hummel had said that the
detectives were police or private de-

The lawyer said that while he was
Mrs. Gould's counsel he told her de-

they were police or private detectives.

put himself at Mrs. Gould's command

STEAM SHOVELS BEGIN
GRADING FOR HIGH LINE

Work will be commenced this
morning on the grade for the high
ore line to be run from the mouth
af the first tunnel in Robinson can
yon to the main line of the Nevada
Northern at a point just east of Ely
City, passing through the northern
outskirts of the town.
The work will be done on the same
large scale that has characterized all
of the operations of the Nevada
Northern and the other associated
companies which will handle the i'm
mense tonnages from the mines as
soon as the smelters at McGill are
blown in.
Steam shovels from the smelter
site will be put to work on the grade
this morning, and the work will be
pushed forward as rapidly as these
gigantic machines can move the dirt.
These shovels are so constructed that
they can scoop up half carload OF
earth from their path at time, and
one such shovel can keep large
force of men and a number of cars
busy all the time.
The fact that the surveys for the
proposed high line were commenced
only few weeks ago, and half doz-
en- or more lines were surveyed be-
fore one was found to fill all the re-
quirements, and that the actual con-
struction work will be commenced SO
quickly, reflects to the credit of Chief
Engineer A. Judell, under whose
supervision the work is being done.
The high ore line will eliminate
the danger of accidents that might
have occurred had the Garden street
line of the road been used for the ore
highway. This line bisects the town
and crosses every street running
north and south, and there would
would have been an element of dan
ger to passing teams with ore trains
running every 80 minutes.

dead in bed today by his mother, his
head having been crushed by blows
from an axe, which was on the floor
beside the bed

She said that the son was the sup
port of the family. the father not
having worked for months. The son
and the father frequently quarreled,
she said the father demanding mon
ey and the son refusing. The faith
er, the mother said, had often threat

tenement in which they lived for a
short time early today, leaving her
son asleep and her husband in the

to wake her son for breakfast he was
dead.
