ON CHARGE OF E K
Appellate Court Frees Former
Mayor Schmitz.

San Francisco. Jan. 10.-The district
court of appeals has handed down a
decision setting aside the judgment
in the case of former Mayor Eugene
E. Schmitz. convicted of extortion in
the French restaurant cases. Abe
Ruef also benefits by the ruling by the
upper court, for according to its de.
cision he pleaded guilty to an act that
was no offense against the laws Of
the state.
According to the appellate JUICES
the compelling of French restaurants
to pay "fees" to Abe Ruef was not a
crime, even though Ruef divided the
"fees" with the mayor.
- After discussing the point the court
reversed the judgment against Schmitz
on the ground that no acts constitut"
ing crime had been proved against
him. Abe Ruef, who pleaded guilty
to extorting money from the French
restaurants. is therefore equally guilt.
less.
The decision wipes out the French
restaurant cases and pending charges
Of extortion against Schmitz and Ruei
must be dismissed. Both are now en-
titled to release on bail. II they OBJ.
tain the necessary bondsmen they can
remain at liberty until such time as
jury finds them guilty on one Of the
indictments charging them with re-
cetv1ng brides from corporations.
There are still pending against Ruei
1876 indictments charging bribery, on
which the total bail is $1.170,o00, and
schmitz would have to get bonds for
$4,000 on the forty indictments that
remain against him to secure his lib.
erty.

Chris Walther, sixty-dve years old,
was found murdered In his home
in North German street, New Ulm,
only about six blocks from the
business section of the city. From the
condition of the house robbery plainly
was the motive for the crime. but
there is no clue to the identity Of the
murderer other than that the police
believe It. to have been somebody IA.
miliar with the habits Of the man.
They think the act was deliberately
planned and that Walther had been
watched for some time -"
Walther was bachelor and had
lived in New Ulm about thirty years.
He had led the life Of a :recluse, and
has been the only occupant of his lit
tie house. The only wound on the
body was mark below the right tenn

HAS BEEN
A SUCCESS

The Moody Jewelry Company IS
auction sale thus far has been most
successful one.
Few people realize how much de-
pends upon an auct.oneer to make
an auction sale a success. An auc-
tioneer who devotes his life to the
business must have wit, self poise
and be able to keep his temper.
Many an auction has been a fail
ure, solely because the auctions er
was not agreeable. OF course, when
we speak of auction successes we pre-
sumo that the company holding the
sale has the goods to deliver. how
ever brilliant an auctioneer may be,
he cannot make a success of any sale
without he has the goods.
The auctioneer of the present sale
of Mr. Moody is Mr.. A. G. Bruce
and he fills the bill about as well as
any auctioneer Mr.. Moody has ever
had to conduct a sale. He has many
neculiarities in crying a sale for
jewelry house, but these pecu1iari-
ties are attractive; they interest his
audience, and the buyers and they
contribute to the sales success.
Mr.. Bruce has had many and var
led experiences in his business life
and told some quite amusing stories
yesterday to the writer about some
of his quaint experiences with bid
ders at an auction. One thing is an
absolute essential in making a sale a
success, sad Mr.. Bruce, you must
represent the goods just as they are
or you will soon be found out and
the sale made a failure.

The cattle were shipped direct to
| this city from the Kansas City Live
Stock Company and were considered
such prize shipment that Mr. C.
w. Hale of the offices of the company
accompanied the cattle to see that
they were handled correctly en- route
and were safely delivered to Mana
ger Parks.
There were 25 head of cattle in the
car, and the men who know cattle
when they see them say that such
fine lot of cattle beauty has never
before been brought to Mesa coun-
ty to be added to the herds that are
located here.
In the bunch of 25 are short
horns and 81 Herefords.
All of these cattle are registered
and pedigreed so that we may ex-
pect to see some upbreeding in Mesa
county in the near future.
The cattle were brought up to the
free corral this morning and were
there visited by numbers of the best
cattlemen of this section. If there
are queens in cattledom, then this
bunch of 25 head of cattle are
queens, every one of them. Every
strain of their first class breeding
stands out on these queens, and they
seem to know that they belong to
high class of cattle from their looks
and actions.
To say that Superintendent Parks
is proud of the addition to his cat
tie is saving very little indeed, as he
called all his town friends down to
his new. prizes, and he will answer
for the treatment that they receive
in his possession as being the very
