nesota, SANDY" Mccormack took pot
missed killing him by mere scratch.
Constable Greene with posse consist
ing of George Scott. Oscar Empey and
Charley Wetzel boldly Jared forth into
the darkness to apprehend the Woald-be
assassin before he should get across the
state line into Iowa. They found him IN
shot at Iachariah Taylor Gunzalus, and
the west upstairs room az the lafn, ~,
house of Uncle SaulsberrY, where he had
been boa riding for 1several lgzweeks.s. and
while he made an effort to appear rs
natural as one could under such trying
circumstances, there was some evidence or
mental perturbation. When Constable
Greene first took daring peep above the
upper stair landing. there sat Sandy on
the edge of the bed trying to unite an
obdurate shoestring and cussing the
country in manner that most
of the = old settlers would have
heartily approved When told he was
under arrest he expressed surprise grief,
CONSERVATION and several other things.
He denied having seen Gunzalus since
morning, but when his revolver was
found in an Old boot and he was asked
TO explain how it happened that one
chamber was empty. he lapsed into
condition of "adolescent insanity and was
conveyed to town where he partially re-
covered his mental equilibrium when he
learned that his intended victim was in
fair way to live. What a case McCor-
macl's would have been for paranoi OK
pert had the indictment against him been
for murder instead of assault with intent
to kill As it was the defense offered was
practically an admission of his purpose
to put Zach out of the game as an am
swer to threats from the plaintiff to do
as much for him. Guilty" was the YER
diet of the jury, and two years at Still
water" the sentence of the court. The
situation in New York is not exactly
parallel, but would have been had Thaw
missed a vital spot and sent Stanford
White to the hospital instead of the
morgue.
Race prejudice is not<a matter of edu-

When our forefathers first landed ON these
