dered by Justice Bowling to be COM
mitted to Mattewan asylum for Grim
inal insane until such time as he can
convince the state lunacy committee
that his being at large will not en-
danger the public safety. Both Thaw
and his wife. the latter being the
only member OF his family in the
court when the jury Unexpectedly re-
turned a verdict after a elaboration
OF twenty-five hours, seemed pleas
'ed and satisfied with the outcome
OF the case,
Thaw stood and smilingly bowed an
acknowledgement to the jurors as
they filed one by one out OF the box
District Attorney Jerome also seem
ed satisfied as ne contended ever
since the crime was committed that
Thaw was medically, II not legally
insane. Thaw's council thanked the
Jurors with hearty handshake for
each OF the twelve.
Attorney Lhtleton filed an excep-
ton to Justice Dowling's decision IN
retaining Tuaw TO custody and com

ONLY 4 few spectators we're al
lowed 70 enter the court room when

waved them against any demonstra-
hon whatever but despite this, one
young man broke into vociferous APP
pIause as the foreman uttered the
first words, NOT GUILTY" He
was Immediately arrested and ar.
raigned before Justice Bowling, after
che jury had been discharged, and
fined I25 for contempt OF court.

Figures for the other precincts are,
precinct ., 20; precinct 8, 81; pre-
cinct 4, 10; making a total for the
county of 1895. There are at least
a hundred orders for which receipts
will be issued so that the total will
reach 1,400. Last year the total in
the county was SOL a little less than
half this amount. The figures given
here, however are taken for the con-
secutiye numbers in the receipt
books, In few cases receipts had
TO be destroyed on account OF err.
rors and such mistakes will cut down
the total as shown by the consecu-
tive numbers.
Over 1000 City Taxes.
BY noon yesterday City Collector
Frank Ong had received over 1000
city poll taxes Yesterday afternoon
this figure was considerably in
creased, so that the payment of city
poll taxes will be perhaps 800 less
than the payments for the county,
This indicates that nearly every man
who paid the county tax and who
owed a city tax met that obligation
also, and there are probably few in
the county who owed the taxes and
failed to pay them. "a.s
The figures themselves are not a
fair indication of the population of
Amarillo, however because the num-
Der or residents here who will not
have a vote this year and who have
not paid poll taxes is much larger
than in older communities where the
rate OF growth Is insignificant as
with the increase in non
llation which Amarillo has received
n the last year. .....,

OLIVER E. NORELL
Against the Republican nom

Against the Republican NOM
inee for the office of Probate
Judge, Oliver E. Norell, is be-

fight of the campaign. The at
tack is not being made by his
opponent, nor particularly for
his benefit. The same fight
would be on, were a yellow dog
the Democratic nominee. One
j. H. Garrett, the dethroned
and discredited promoter of the
Great Western Beet Sugar COM
pany, is making it his principal
business to attack this man and
is making all manner of reck-
less and unprovable assertions.

Mr.. Norell. To be dignified by

For the past six months the Ida.

three or four disgruntled banks
in Boise, has fercely attacked

and sought to discredit him.
His enemies have, however, fail.

state has lost q penny through
his administration OF the Office,
nor have they been able to show
any flaw in his reputation for
strict integrity. II is conceded,
on the other hand, by all who
are acquainted with the facts,
that during the late financial
panic, he did more than any 9TH

destruction, and so prevented

Garrett'senmity and honored by

Garrett'senmity and honored by
his hatred is the equivalent to
a certificate of good character
from all honorable and law
abiding citizens. The motive
behind this attack is we'll known
and needs no discussion in any
part OF Elmore county wher the
events leading up to CARROTS
retirement from the Beet Sugar
company have become known.
In the fight to clear out the
corrupt gang, of which Garrett
was the head, Mr.. Norell has
taken a leading part and by his
courage and loyalty to the best
interests Of the people for
whom the fight was made, he
has demonstrated his fitness for
the office to which he has been
nominated by the Republican
party. Although repeatedly
threatened with personal vio-
lence and made the victim of a
systematic boycott in his bust
ness; though repeatedly tempt
ed with alluring bribes and
promises Of preferment, Mr..
Norell has never wavered an
inch in his course and has hew-
ed straight to the line. If
elected to the office of Probate
Judge, he will there acquit him
self with equal honor and credit
and administer the law with
absolute unpartiality. His rec

H. c McBIRNEY

The Republican candidate for
the office of representative from
Elmore county, H. c. .McBirney,
is unquestionably one of the
best qualified men in the county
for that position. A successful
business man, a public spirited
citizen and thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the diverse interests of
the county, he will be able to
initiate and carry through leg
islation that will aid in the de-
development of the county.
Prudent and far-seeing in his
private affairs, he can be safely
trusted by the people not to
lend his assistance to any i'll
advised legislation. or other
specious proposal. He is
charged by his opponents with
being subject to the domination
of the so-called lumber trust,
but this charge is as unreason-
able as it is false. His person
al business interests are of such
a nature that the reverse is
true. AS a retail lumber dealer
he would naturally, and does
oppose any trust that seeks con-
troll of the lumber market for
the reason that such a state of
things would seriously injure
his own business. By the ac-
tion of the Republicans of the
county in convention assem-
bled, as we'll as by his own con-
sent, he is pledged if elected,
to support a bill for the estab-
lishment of a state railway COM
mission and the passage of an
effective direct primary election
law. He is not pledged to the
election of any man to the Uni
ted States Senate, but can be
relied upon to support no man
for that position whose con-
duct there will not be a credit
to the state and whose vote
will not be cast for the benefit
of the people.
If elected to represent this
county in the legislature, Mr..
McBirney will be found ready
and willing at all times to rem
all possible service to his con-
stituents. He has no personal
end to serve and no special in
terest to represent. Being in
harmony with the Republican
majority that is conceded to ex-
list in the House, he will be able
to accomplish results for his
county, where his opponent if
elected, could not obtain even a
hearing. For their own inter-
ests, therefore, the voters of
Elmore county should and un-
doubtedly will send Mr.. Nc
Birney to the house by a sub
stantial majority.
