WIFE-sELLINe IN ENGLAND.
(San Francisco Arganaut.)

Nooh HEdhelSCo
Fifty years ago, writes a reader of Z
London paper, is by no means the most
recent date of wife-selling in England
for even as late as the eighties such
cases were by no means infrequent, and
the thing given an almost judicial air by
the care with which the vender was sup
posed to observe three conditions First
that the same wife could not be sold
twice; second, that the price must exceed
one shilling; and, third, that she must be
delivered to her purchaser with halter
round her neck.
Thomas Hardy. however who has made
the safe of wife the theme of his novel
THE Mayor of Casterbridge," says moth
ing of any such conditions. AS late as
1887 a wife was sold in a halter at Wake
field for half a guinea, while three years
before two cases were reported from York
in the same week. AS a general rule II
was only the poor and ignorant who fol-
lowed this practice; but at least one case
is on record in which the wife duly halt

Their to the court house to climb up
into the cupola to see il they could
discern their approach across the prai-
ries. They got sight of same, climbed
down, told his father and, with the
other boys, ran to the vicinity OF the
Jail with that boy curiosity, greater
than any bodily fear from accidental
bullets, If a fusillade began Sure
enough, they had scarce gotten there
when firing in the vicinity of the jail
and in a room where the prisoners
were confined was heard. Just at this
juncture a man was seen to leap
through the upper window of the jail
and drop to earth. The man sat up,
and just as he did so a number of bull
lets were fired into his body and he
fell over dead. This man was the Nor
mon prophet, Joseph Smith:
Hamilton and his companions were
not twenty feet distant from where
Smith struck the ground when he
jumped from the Jail and, of course,
saw the killing. The men who fired the
deadly bullets had their faces black
ened with gunpowder, and came run
ming up in single file like Indians when
the firing began on the other side of
the building where the entry door to
the jail was.
The bodies Of the two Smiths CHiram
had been killed inside the jail before
Joseph jumped OUT were taken to the
hotel of young Hamilton's father, who,
being a carpenter as well as hotel
keeper, made two collins of pine, in
which the remains were placed and
were hauled in his wagon under guard
of company of state militia to point
near Nauvoo, where they were deliv-
cred over to the faithful followers, who
buried them with the most sacred rites

who witnessed the tragedy have passed

LAST WITNESS OF JOSEPH SMITHS
END DIES AT CARTHAGE

Judge William Hamilton died and
was buried in Carthage, Hancock
county, recently, says the Macomb
CID Journal He was one of the pio-
neers of the county. and is believed to
be the last eyewitness of the killing
of the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith
at the Carthage jail June 81, ls4e. That
is, he was the last one who would ac-
knowledge: those who were concerned
in the killing were never publicly
known, and IL is possible that some one
of those may yet be alive, but hardly
probable; at any rate, as said above,
Hamilton was the last of those alive
who could describe the action as It
occurred.
In the forthcoming State Gazetteer
and History OF McDonougn county,
Judge Hamilton furnished Hon. A. S.
Mclean of this city much data for the
chapter on the Mormons. At the time
of the acute Mormon troubles and the
killing of Joseph and Hiram Smith,
Judge Hamilton was not yet grown.
His father at the time kept the Garth
age hotel, and young Hamilton as a lad
about the house had extra opportunity
of noting the soings on at this storm
center of the Mormon troubles.
Joseph and his brother, Hiram
Smith. were in jail at Carthage charged
with treason" but in reality as much
for the purpose of being safe from
mob violence as any other. On the
surrender of the Smiths the great body
of the militia that had assembled,
mostly on its own hook. disbanded and
left for home, they living mainly in
McDonough, Adams and Hancock
counties. One company, of Carthage,
was left to guard the jail; to keep the
Smiths in and the mob out Somehow
there was a general impression that
another mob, bent on the murder of
the two Smiths, was coming from
Warsaw county.

The other day the student got chance
to visit one of the wards in the asy-

confined there who labored under the
hallucination that he was God the stu

was taken to the ward where the lu-

conversation ensued:

Student-Well. I've been looking for
you for a long time. I have a question
to ask you. How do you reconcile the

DEMAND 4 REVISION
OF CITY ORDINANCES

There is a move on foot among the al
torneys of the city to secure a revision of
the city ordinances. The last revision was
made in 1903 and is now completely out
of date and practically valueless In or
der to locate ordinances passed since the
revision II is necessary to go to the city
recorders office and spend an hour in
searching through the flies of the ordi-
nances passed during the past fOu years
1t is probable that an appeal will be
made to the council at an early date that
revision be commenced by January ]
at the latest.
It is contemplated carrying the old
books up to January 1. 1908. and then es-
tablishing the new accounting system
transferring the balances at the end of the
year from the old to the new books and
discarding the old for everything except
reference purposes.
The mayor is much interested in this
work and will cooperate with the audi
tors in every way possible.

SHEETS CLAIMS
NO JURISDICTION
Alleged That Same Statement
Is Set Forth in Two
infOrmationS.
ARGUMENT WILL BE HEARD
FRIDAY FIXED AS DAY FOR PRE-
SENTING VIEWS.

George A. Sheets, former chief OF
police, was scheduled yesterday morn
ing to plead to the bribery informa-
ton filed against him by the district
attorney before Judge Charles W
Morse, but instead of doing so, his at
torneys entered a motion for dismissal
alleging that the court had no juris
diction.
The specific charge upon vhich the
former chief was to plead was receiV-
ing bride of $1,000 on Sept. 20, 1906, in
connection with the McWhirter case
The motion for dismissal is based on
the following grounds:
That there is another action pending
before the district court charging the
defendant with the crime of conspiracy
which is based on the same staten nt
of facts as that set out and relied upon
by the state in the bribery informa-
ton.
That the district court has no juris-
d1ction, as Justice F. M. Bishop, be-
fore whom the preliminary examina-
ton was held. and who held Sheets to
the district court. was without 1uris-
diction, thus making his action void
and of no effect.
In regard to Justice Bishops iuris-
dictiOn, it is alleged that the complaint
was filed before him. charging con-
spiracy. Upon this Sheets was bound
over to the district court by Justice
Timpson after a change of venue had
been taken.
The defense claims that then the
bribery charge was made and that the
statement of facts in it is identical
with that in the conspiracy informa-
ton. From this it is contended that
the state is endeavoring to make two
entirely different charges out of the
same acts or series of acts
The argument on the motion to dis
miss will be heard by Judge Morse next
Friday morning; until that time Mr.
Sheets will not have to enter his plea.
The state yesterday was represented
by Frederick c. Loofbourow, district
attorney, and Willard Hanson. county
attorney. For Sheets Soren 4, Chris
Jensen appeared
