strychnine administered by his own
hand, was taken from Rio Grande

After being out about As minutes,
and after; considerable animated dis
cussion and the. polling of four bal
lot. the jury of II men who heard
the evidence in the case of Miss
Minnie Heady, charged with attempt
ing the murder of her brother-in-
law, J. Chester Ong. returned YER
dict of not guilty at 8 o'clock last
evening.
1t Is understood that ON three of
the ballots the jury stood IL for ac-
quittal and for conviction The
last ballot was unanimous for ac-
quittal.
The verdict was no surprise To the
great majority of those people who
had heard the evidence; not that
the case was a weak one from the
view of the prosecution, but the be-
most impossible to convict woman
on such a charge under the circum-
stances.
Miss Heady, who had stood up ad-
mirably under the strain and ordeal
attending the three7days trial, broke
down just before the verdict was an
nounced; but there. Is no question
but what the verdict brought great
relief to her, although she had ex-
pressed confidence In a verdict of
acquittal all along. Miss Heady was
congratulated by many people who
were in the court room at the time
the verdict was announced.
Attorney James s, Carnahan and
Attorney Joe w. Rochelle certainly
made a valiant fight for their client
and the verdict reflects no little cred
it upon the two attorneys. Their
peas at the close of the case for a
verdict of acquittaI were strong and

the Humane society Investigated a
report that the McClures were In the
habit. of stalking the child out In the

it to be true. They could not pros

Want Damages for
Mistreated Cattle

Laramie, Wyo., Aug. % Special. r.
The Riverside Live Stock company this
afternoon began suit against the Union
Pacific Railway company for $1,000
damages under the federal rs hour law.
1t is the first suit under the new law in
this judicial district and believed to be
the first in the state.
The Riverside Company says it Of
fered eight cars of cattle to the rail
road company Oct. 10, 1906, for ship
ment to South Omaha. The claim is
made that the cars intended for use of
the shipper were taken away causing
a delay of one day, that after the cat
tie had been loaded they were carried
for 81 hours without feed or water and
that they were crowded in cars, hauled
in slow time and delivered at the mar
ket in greatly emaciated and shrunk-
en- condition. The case will likely be
transferred to the federal court at
Cheyenne. Elk.
