Has Seen Hundreds of Sea serpents

According to Captain R. c. Candage of Ellsworth, the sea serpent is no myth. He declares that he has seen hundreds of them, but all were small. He said:
 ''I have seen many on the coast of India, in the Bay of Bengal, and in the China and Java seas, all one to three or four feet in length, but not the big ones of the story books, and doubt if any one else ever did.
 Many years ago I imagined that I saw one in the straits of Florida, fifty or sixty feet in length, with head and mane reared above the water, propelled by wriggling along, apparently at the rate of five or six miles an hour. He was a distance away from our ship, so the better to observe him went up the mizzen rigging, and soon found out that it was a floating tree. It's roots gave the appearance of a serpent s head and mane and the seas, ripping along the tapering trunk, the wriggling motion. ' Bangor dispatch to the New York World

JURY EXONERATES
 OFFICER FELT0N
STATED THAT SHOOTING WAS IN SELF DEFENSE AND JUsTIFIA- BLE--BoDY OF NELSON IS TAX EN TO MESA FOR BURIAL.

The verdict of the eoroner's jury in. ouiriug into the causes leading up to the death of John w. Nelson completely generated Oscar Felton, deputy city marshal, who, on last Friday morning fired four shots into the body of the unfortunate man, which resulted fatally on sunday afternoon.
 The story of the witnesses was a complete reiteratiOn of the story of the tragedy as told by the Silver Belt three bours after the tragedy. While intoxi- ,atcI Nelson met Felton in the Acme saloon. where he upbraided the officer for permitting him to remain in jail over night when it was within his power to have secured his immediate release. FeIton. realizing that the man was drunk, walked from the saloon and pro feeded north on Broad street At a ponr lust outside of the business dis trict Nelson passed Felton. The officer spoke to him pleasantly, and in reply Nelson mumbled something. Before continuing twenty feet Nelson turned suddenly and fired two shots in rapid succession at FeltOn. The first shot struck the officer in the leg and knocked him down. The second one missed. The officer Iegained his feet and emptied his ,iN-Shooter in the direction he had witnessed the flashes. Four of the shots penetrated the body of Nelson. One punctured the bladder, which was the immediate cause of death.
 After hearing this evidence the jury returned a verdict to the effect that Nelson came to his death from gunshot wounds inflicted by a pistol fired by Oscar Felton, and that the shots were fired by Felton in self defense, Nelson having fired first, twice, and wounded Felton, and the homicide was justif- able

 The body of the dead man, accompan. jed by a brother, was taken to Mesa for burial yesterday morning. A broth CT of the deceased who was with him constantly during Nelson s last hours, denies the story that Jack Nelson, be. fore dying, stated that he wished he had put one shot in Felton where it would have counted. While suffering intense agony Nelson remarked that he wished Feton had fired a shot that would have been more effective. On several occasions he asked how the off eer was getting along and expressed sat isfaction when told that he was only slightly injured and would recover.

CATTLE FR|SK IN
 THE HIGH GRASS
ToNT0 BASIN AS IT IS VIEWED BY ToNTo BILL, WHO WRITES AFTER MAKING A GENERAL TOUR OF THE CIRCUIT.
By Tonto Bill.

By Tonto Bill.
 TONTO, Ariz., November 4.-After being held up by Salt river few days, l had an opportunity to take view of the dam site and dam, which had not changed much since my visit on the l7th, when it was flooded and been so ever since, so no work could be per formed by MT. O 'Rourke s men.
 The large power house is nearly com pieted, still the plant installed is not used and the reason is that it does not run as it should Something is wrong in the mechanical construction.
 After landing in Tonto basin person would really think that it is spring in- stead of fall, as the ground is covered with new grass and some being as high as six inches and indeed it makes the cattle kick their heels and the cattle men have a smile on their countenance They arc rolling about with the unusu- ally large calves trying to put brands and marks on them, which l had a chance to observe when l arrived at the Peter ranch
 I understand that work has been com menced on several new prospects in Gun creek. Several loads of iron rails have passed my doors for the Coppers on East Verde, or better known as the Clarks and Shaw mine, which has been worked for several months night and day with good results. Single Standard mine at Payson is worked by full force of men, and machinery for said mine has arrived at Flagstaff.
 Bert Cullom came mp on the stage on the 29th to take look at his mine.
 W. J. Hyde, who has been mining in Reno pass for the last ten years and who during that time has not been ab sent from his mine until this summer, returned two weeks ago with the inten- tion to stay another ten years if noth ing happens. Surely he is a stayer.
 It perhaps would not be out of the way to say a few words in regard to our county roads, which seem to be de- moralized between Pinal creek and Roosevelt. It is really wonder that no great damage to man or beast hap pens between the summit and Danford hill all along the hogback. The road between Roosevelt and Payson has been in an excellent shape until late rains, but I find w. M Clanton on the spot at once to make the necessary repairs.

EIGHT TAKE THE
 MOURNFUL TRIP
CLIMAX JIM IS THE ONLY ONE TO ESCAPE IN THE GRAHAM COUNTY GRIND OF CRIMINAL CASEs-PALMA's DEFENSE.
Special to the Silver Belt.

| Speclal to the Silver Belt.
 SOLOMONVILLE, Ariz., November 4.-The first week of district court hero resulted in eight men starting on the mournful trip to Yuma and in at least two or three others qualifying for the excursion. Lee N. Stratton, district at. torney, and his assistant, Mr. Crosby are prosecuting with great vigor and skill and the lawbreakers are steadily getting what is due them.
 A criminal case of considerable inter est was that of Matine Palma, charged with murder. Palma s wife, it will be remembered, gave the sheriff the infor- nation which resulted in the mans ar- rest last summer in California. Paimo lived near Central and about two years ago killed man named Margurito Gar cia. It was always supposed to have been deliberate murder, but Wiley E. Jones, attorney for Palma, produced evil dence showing that Garcia had knife in his hand when he was shot and a wicked looking dagger was offered in evidence. Some of the territory's s wit nesses, to the astonishment of the law yers, testified to the truth of the knife story and the prosecution immediately set to work to impeach the testimony of it's own witnesses. Palma had plaus- ible defense, but he was convicted of murder in the second degree, the verdict being returned early Sunday morning.
 The following sentences have been passed and the condemned men taken to the penitentiary:
 Bub Sutherland, grand larceny, one year.
 Jesus Valdez, grand larceny, one year
 c. w. Woodward, forgery, one year.
 Victor Burkhardt, burglary, six months.
 Florentina Villa pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced for life. This is the man whose little son found him in the courtroom and created pitiful scene. It is the general opinion that Villa is insane
 Fernando Guerda, murder, for life.
 Carlos Herra, murder, indeterminate sentence ranging between ten years and life.
 Matine Montana, assault with dead ly weapon, same as above except that the minimum is five years.
 The two last named were boys of 16 and l7 years.
 So far the only aequittal was the case of Climax Jim, whom the prosecution failed to convict of forgery. Climax s attorneys made hard fight and sue ceeded in so clouding the testimony that the jury would not convict.

B. F. WALKER IS CLEARED Alleged Counterfeiter Is
 Acquitted. SEN. GARDNER IS WITNESS Testifiss to Good Character of Pike
 County Farmer. Tom shorter, a Negro, Found Guilty of Passing Bad Money-Is Known
 To Have Had Prison
 Record.

B. F. walker. the white farmer of Pike County. charged with making and passing counterfeit money, was acauit- ted by jury in the United States Court late yesterday afternoon after deliberating an hour, verdict was brought in, finding him not guilty in zach of the indictments. the one charg- ing the manufacture of counterfeit coin and the other alleging that he passed the spurious money.
 Walkers previous good character in the community in which he lived. com bined with the forcetul plad presented by him that man by the name oA Adams was really the guilty party, IS believed to have been principally tn- strumental in the acquittal. The fact that Senator Gardner of Pike County, took the stand to testify to Walker excellent character. and that the sena- for,without remuneration, delievered by address voluntarily to the Jury yeseer- day morning in Walkers behalf, Is supposed to have had great weight.
 In the trial of the Walker case, the courts time was devoted yesterday to hearing the speeches of attorneys, af- ter which Judge Jones delivered his charge and the case rached the Jury at 1;45 o'clock.
 Following the acquittal of Walker, Tom Shorter, negro of Eufaula, was tried for passing counterfeit money. He pleaded not guilty, and the case went to the jury after the govern ment had examined tour witnesses among whom was J. William Nye, keeper of the records of prisoners at the Atlanta federal prison. Ny'e testi- fled that Shorter had previously serV- eu two terms in the penitentiary for counterfeiting, one from Florida and one from this district of Alabama Susie Ector, a negress, testified that Shorter passed twenty counterfeit nickels on her last year In change for a dollar. Shorter was found guilty.
 negro boy, James itoberson, or Greenville, was then put on trial charged with stealing 8 watch from the mails in Butler County. After a brtef examination into the evidence, the nc gro was convicted, and committed to the county jail to await sentence.
 During the day, Dave Harris, 8 cripple hegro of Tallapoosa County, pleaded guilty to retailing liquor with out license. and Judge Jones suspend ed sentence in the case,

A Heavy Load to Carry.

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous ness and general ill-health. Why? Be- cause disordered stomach does not per init tho food to be properly digested, and It's products assimilated by the system. The blood is charged with poisons which come from this disordered digestion, and in turn tho nerves are not fed on good, red blood, and we see symptoms of nerv- ousness, sleeplessness and general break down.

Some amendments may be adop- ted but the measure will probably be presented to the Senate in practically the same form in which it came from the House.
 The committee endorsed the bill to establish a normal school at Daphne This bill has already passed the House. The bill carries an annual appropria- tion of $4.000
 Tie most important action taken by the committee, however. was the fav- orable report given the bill which taxes insurance companies doing business in Alabama, two per cent. on their gross incomes. The fight on this item has been one of the most interesting con tests of the session. The companies un- der the present law pay one per cent. tax on their gross incomes.
