BIG GAME
EXTENSION OF LARAMIE PLAINS
LINE WILL OPEN TERRITORY
TO HUNTERS OF BEAR.
Auditor Spends Couple of Nights in
the Wild and Has .Plaintive Story
Of just What Would Happen II He
should BE Out Alone at Night and
Lost Besides.

Auditor /. w. Emmons of the Lar
annie Plains line returned late yester-
day afternoon from a trip as far west
AZ Mountain Home on the Walden ex-
tension of the line, having gone thus
far with President Miller and the
Pittsburg fnanciers, who were picked
up at Mountain Home by Elmer Love
Joy and taken on to Walden in his
automobile. Mr.. Emmons spent a
couple of nights close to nature, and
likes everything except trying to sleep
dry in a puddle Of water.
Hunters' Paradise.
Mr.. Emmons is preparing a "big
game folder" for the Laramie Plains
road. and is getting some personal
experiences to assist him in telling the
ezact truth and nothing bxt the truth,
While 1t tho Argo camp he was told
that the men connected with the sur.
veying party had seen two deer and
the tracks Of about ten thousand bear
some of them with the heels the other
way, too. Another party was heard
from who had seen a bunch of fourteen
deer just a day or two before the ar
rival of the. tenderfoot auditor.
"seein' Things"
DO you know" Mr.. Emmons said
".sa. when u new iinc is =opsncd &c
far westward, even, as 1 vent on this
trip, we will be right in the heart OF
the big game country? Why, bless
your heart, I'd hate like smoke to get
lost by myself in the woods and have
to sleep out, hearing all kinds of
noises, seeing all kinds of shadowy
forms and feeling the near presence
of all kinds Of bears, and mountain
lions. and things that ought to be
good and stay in the geological gar
dens. There are hundreds of such
animals along the line of that road.
See any? Well, no; not exactly that,
but the boys had seen them, and their
tracks. and I heard the noises they
make, and tried to sleep and couldn't.
The game is there and the sure
enough hnnters-men with guns and
knives and daggers-wil1 find it."

Fine Performance.

The minstrel show given at the Beavers hall this evening by the young men of the city for the benefit of the Marvel City band which was recently organized proved to be quite a decided success. A large crowd was on hand and every one was in good humor. The boys had all worked particularly hard to make the en- tertainment a success, and their hopes were fully realized. The quartet com posed of Messrs Brown, Milton. Barnett and Majors, was good, especially in the first number. The soloists were MT. Ma bors, MT. Milton MT. Anton, and Mir. Brown The solos were all extremely well rendered and the audience showed it's ap preciation by repeated encores.
 Miss Mabel Conniff acted as accompan- ist, and this young lady deserves much credit for the manner in which she held up her part of the programme. She has rehearsed with the boys for the past sev- eral days, and has been one of the most ardent workers in the entire crowd.

J.F. MORRELL IS ACQUITTED
Jury Is Held Together Four Days and Finally Verdict Is Rendered. Case Against Two Negro
 Boys Thrown Out.

Meridian, Miss, January 13.--tSpe- cial.) .)-When the verdict of not guilty was read in the court room this morn ing in the case of J. F. Morrell, charged with embezzleing about s700 of money belonging to the local trades council. after deliberating on the evil dence for three days, Judge Cochran created a sensation by a scathing re- buke of the jury. He charged the jury with having disregarded the instruc- tions of the court, and said that each member had placed himself in con tempt of the court He said it was the ever been returned in that court, that each juryman had sworn that true verdict would be rendered, based :, sJn the law and the evidence.
 Judge Cachran said furthe that the jury had, in order to return fits verdict, placed itself in contempt of the court.

 JuuSe ', oCilIdH lheli tHc jury The verdict created considerable surprise among those who had watched the, case from the beginning. Morrell conducted his own defense. Three of tlae members of the jury held out for two days for conviction of the defend aint and nine stood steadfast for ac- quittal from the first ballot
 The cases against Tom Spence and Aus Ramsey. the two negroes charged with the murder of little Raymond Bat tie, in this county. last summer, were thrown out of court today for the want of evidence that murder had been com mitted. It is now the general opinion xhat the smaller negro's story that he k filed the little white boy accidentally while hunting was correct. This is the case that created such a sensation and aEmost led to lynching when the two neNgroes were arrested following the finding of the dead body of Raymond Battle in ditch after an all night search.
