will fail utterly, for there is no such
thing as hat of general wear this
season. All hats are specially de-
signed to go with certain costumes,
and most hats are made to order and
fitted to the head. The couture must
always be worn in the same manner
with the same hat.
The fashionable hats are trimmed
In the new shades. There is lovely
aat of white trimmed with apricot yell
low which goes we'll with the tan
dresses of the season and with the
chamois and mustard colOrs. 1t can
be modified somewhat by making the
hat of black, with trimmings of the
apricot yellow. A chain of tiny yellow
roses with their green leaves encir-
cles the crown.
Hats Lifted at Right Side.
One of the very newest hats is set
upon bandeau all around The right
side is raised and a feather is set upon
the bandeau so as to fall upon the hair.
The top of the hat is trimmed with a
large bird with spreading wings. The
wings are held in place by two hat
pins with big round tops. These knobs
of enamel are much used in hat trim
ming.
There are hats made this season
with no bandeau at all; the hat sets
rather fatty upon the head; but this
calls for great deal of hair dressing.
There must, be puffs and coronet
braids and amasses of little curls.
Many of the fiat hats have these puffs
and curls attached to the side. The
hair is matched to the couture and the
hat is pinned on so that the curls and
puffs arrange themselves naturally
with the aid of a pin or two.

which surrounded the escape. He re-
marked that the three men had decid-
ed to take little trip" on the first
opportunity available. This opportu-
nifty showed itself Thursday afternoon.
On leaving the city they went south

miles south of Richmond Thursday
night Early the next morning the

Herbert repaired two or three cook
stoves. for which he received a little
more than five dollars. This placed
the three men on easy street SO far
as finances were concerned, and they
started to hike to Eaton. Hunting
ton declared that they must have walk
ed thirty-five or forty miles during the
day.
Charges of Jail breaking can be plac-
ed against all three men, and if this is
not done, it is highly probable they
will have to serve the limit of time for
their offenses. as punishment for their
escape Thursday. Just what action
will be brought against the men Pros

erage was for q banquet at a social ses-
sion of the lodge and that none of it
had been bartered. sold or given away.

both sides being represented by able

GANTz NOT GUILTY.;

Man Accused of Assault Ac-
Quilted in Court.
BOYS ALSO AT FAULT

| Because Roy Coombs and Elmer
Klinger, sixteen and twelve years OF
age. respectively, had, boy like, stolen
some apples from beneath his apple
trees, Henry Gantz, 81 years old, as
saulted the younger of the two boys
with a buggy whip Thursday after
given an airing in the police court,
Gantz was found not guilty, while both
he and the boys received lecture as to
how they should conduct themselves in
the future.
Last Thursday while passing Gantz' S
place on Greenwood avenue, it is al
legged that the boys threw stones into
the old mans apple trees. He had
taken exceptions to these actions be-
ing a chance to catch the Klinger boy,
made an attempt to arrest" him. In
this "arresting" process the buggy
whip descended upon the boy twice and
for this the old man was arrested.
Judge Converse. in his decision of
the case held that the old man had
acted wrongly. but was probably just
titled in dong what he did as the boys
as shown by the testimony of witness
es had ''deviled" Gantz on several in
stances. Gantz was warned that the
next time he wanted to make an .'ar-
rest to first make known his troubles
to the police. The boys were instruct
ed to keep out of other peoples or
chards in the future unless they had
the permission of the owners.

Scenes Were Dramatic.

Boise, Idaho, July 27.-The twelve
men in whose hands rests the fate OF
William ID. Haywood slept last night
under armed guards. knowing that to-
day they would be called upon to give
their decision on which depends the
life of their fellow man. For long
days and weeks they have sat in a
dingy courtroom listening to witness
es swearing to statements which were
flatly contradicted by their success
ors, and for the past week they have
heard lawyers. famous for their elo-
quence, pour forth floods of fiery de-
nunciation or equally fervid exculpa-
ton. Now they must take this great
mass of words and probe and sift for
the truth, while the whole country
stands eager for their verdict.
The last scenes of the trial were
worthy of it's dramatic course. Unit
ed States Senator Borah closed a
burning Philippe against the accused
amid scene far excelling that of any
mimic stage. The effects of the ora
tors words were such that not alone
women, but many men, broke down
and left the court in hystericai con-
dition. Mrs, Steunenberg, the widow
of the murdered governor, tainted un-
der the strain and was carried out by
her son Julian. She was quickly fol-
lowed by the white-haired mother of
Haywood, who could bear no longer
the awful denunciation of the man
who demanded, in the name Of the
law, her sons life
Two Men are Composed.
But two men maintained their stern
composure. The prisoner, to all ap-
pearance unmoved. sat silent and mo-
tioniess under the storm of invective
which was hurled at his head. He
heard himself branded as the guiding
brain that had sat in the dark and
sent men out to slay and destroy re- |
morselessly and brutally. yet by no
sign did he betray what his thoughts /
may have been. Occasionally his |
grave eyes would be turned to the /
jury box to scan the faces of the men /
with whom his fate lay, but that was |
all.
One other remained cold and un-
moved. Harry Orchard. the extraor-
binary criminal who has made a new
record in cold-blooded murder and 1
baffled by his personality the GRIM
inologists of the country. sat in his
chair as cool and composed as when
he dispassionately related to an as
tonished audience the fearful story of
his crimes. He heard the orator de- I
nounce him as a human devil and
call the heavens to witness that for
him there was no immunity: he saw ,
the widow Of his victim carried faint
ing from the room; he faced the man
whom he had betrayed, but on his in
scrutable countenance there was not ,
a sign of remorse or of any other :
emotion.
