MAN SAYS BOAR Err KILLED HIS
LANDLORD AND Us LIVING
WITH THE WIFE.

a story has been toI6 in Nor
ganfown by one Of the officers
who was in the posse which went to
Century that almost challenges belief.
He says that after the officers reached
that town they were asked If they
we're in pursuit of any others than
the murderers from this county. The
inquirer was told they were not, but
after further questioning he told his
story.
1t appears that an Italian lived in
the town. He was married and had
a boarder. Some time ago he was
murdered by the boarder and the
body was placed in a box and CON
cealed In the cellar. 1t was left
there until the next night when the
murderer took it to a nearby field
and buried it.
Re has kept the wife of the muir.
dered man a prisoner since that
time. The door is locked when he
goes to the mines in the day time
and at night he locks it after he en-.
tiers the house and allows no one to
enter It. The woman has held no
communication with any one since
her husband was killed and it is
not known how she views the mat
ter, but It is presumed from the ac-
tons Of the man that she is held
against her will.
All of the people living in the
town know Of the murder. The
farmer on whose farm the murdered
man was buried stated that he would
point out the spot so that the body
might be disinterred, but none of
the officers wanted to do this.
One of the constables of Barbour
county was present at the time the
visit was made TO the town and 1t is
expected that he will report tn ,
matter to the authorities of the
county and that arrests will follow.
However the state of affairs did not
seem to bother those who lived in
town. All of them know about it
but no one has cheaped since the
murder. The town is inhabite1

AGAINST FIN Es FOR FfE6A IS tss
IN THE sUPREME y
COURT.

. q -
WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-The great.
legal battle over the Interpretation Of
the rebate laws began In earnest yes,
terday in the suprweme Court Of the
United States. The Great Northern
Railway Company directly interested,
and the Standard OIL Company and a
number of other railroads, indirectly
concerned, had lot of lawyers in the
court, while Attorney General Bona
parte and Assistant Attorney General
Purdy represented the government.
The Great Northern attorneys are
asking the court to vacate lower
courts judgment filming that road SIS,
900 for granting rebates to the w. p.
Deveareaux company on goods ship
ped from Minneapolis to Seattle. The
fines had been imposed under the e.
kins act after the passage of the Hep
burn rate bill.
The railroad and the Standard Oh!
Company, which has something of a
fine itself to pay for accepting rebates,
assert that one of the clauses Of the
Hepburn act released railroads and
shippers from all penalties for viola
lions OF the anti-rebate provisions Of
the Elkins act in cases where prosecu-
lions had not already been begun at
the date of the passage OF the Hepburn
act.
an my opinion" said Mr.. Purdy to-
day, in his argument for the govern
ment, "the fallacy underlying this po-
sition consists in confusing the sew
eral purposes which saving clause
may be employed to subserve."
Neither side has referred to the
clause as sleeper" but 1t is pointed
out that this thorn for the government
got into the law without debate on the
floor of congress.
Why Congress Did It.
"This clause was inserted by con-
gress," continued Purdy, ito preserve
old methods of procedure with respect
to clauses then pending in the courts
of the United States. 1t should not be
construed as extinguishing any penal
ties and liabilities which had accrued
under the old law.
Congress was not in frame of
mind to excuse violators of the rebate
law. Disclosures had been made which
established beyond all controversy
that the practice of rebating had not
been discontinued. but had become
quite general throughout the entire
country.
1.-THE one dominating idea in the re-
bates in congress regarding the sub
ject was that the old law should be

The object of the assemblage was
a surprise party on Mr.. Plus in

certainly surprised and could not
imagine what was happening
when a hayrack conveying the
party arrived. A feast, which
would put those you read about

Young CIoudburst
Saturday Night Does COnsidera-
BILE Damage. Precipitation Es-
timated at Four Inches.

Last Saturday evening about
seven-thirty the most terrific rain
storm ever seen in WinslOw Oc-
Cured. The storm lasted for
about one hour and during that
time the amount of water that
fell is estimated conservatively at
about four inches. The rain was
accompanied by hail, the stones
being of good size. From reports
received here the storm extended
only about six miles east and
west. North and south, however,
the area was considerable larger.
The damage sustained around
town was considerable and runs
up into the thousands of dollars.
Nearly every cellar in town was
filled to the top, and in those OF
the mercantile establishments
where goods are stored, the loss
was considerable. Roofs that
had never before been known to
let in a drop OF water leaked like
sieves, keeping the occupants OF
the houses busy with tubs, pals,
etc, to catch the water to keep
it from spreading over the floors.
The telephone system was
damaged to a great extent by
the heavy lightning which accom-
panied the ram. Several of the
electric light company's poles
were struck, transformers smash
ed, and the town was IN total
darkness as far as electric lights
were concerned until ten-thirty
o. M, when the damage was re-
paired. The streets were as small
rivers and the sidewalks obliter-
ated under about six inches of
water, and in many instances
the sidewalks were washed
away. Another great loss to our
citizens was the number of chick
ems that were killed. 1t is not
overestimating to say that the
majority of the poultry IN town
was killed, especially the young
frvs and small chicks.
The oldest residents of WinSlOw
saw that there has never been any
storm like the one last Saturday
in the history of the town.

Wool Growers

zOna Wool Growers Association
was held Wednesday at the Court
House in this city. There was a
good attendance from all over
the northern part ofthe territory
as the creation of the Tonto and
Verde National Forest, and pro-
posed exclusion OF sheep from
these areas during the winter
months has stirred them up thor
oughly. 1fsome favorable action
is not secured they believe the
most of them will be compelled
to quit the business. The discus
sion of this problem was the one
thing most important brought
up at the meeting. Letters were
read from the Forest Service in
answer to a protest forwarded
the Forester some time ago, in
which there was found little or
no comfort for sheep interests.
Mr.. Gosney, in his remarks
stated that full statement of
actual conditions, including mat
ters for and against the wool
growing industry, should be Civ
en- the investigating committee
sent out by the government; that
persistent efforts should be made
to put them in possession of the
facts in the case as we'll as to
eradicate the prejudice that had
grown up among those not con-
versant with the facts.
