The Report
SAYS HE HAS NOT BEGUN PRO-
cEE0INGs TO SECURE DI-
VoRcE FROM EVELYN.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O-Mrs. viii
liam Thaw will visit her son, Harry. in
Matteawan to discuss with him the
best means of bringing about an an
nulment of his marriage. A Russell
Peabody, Thaw's personal counsel, will
accompany the elder Mrs, ,Thaw.
From several sources 1t was learned
that the elder Mrs. Thaw has demand
ed that proceedings be begun in a
Pennsylvania court for the annulment
on the ground that he was insane at
the time of the ceremony. 1t is said
that such course. II successful,
would leave Evelyn penniless.
Young Mrs. Thaw's counsel is pre-.
pairing to meet this with proceedings
in New York court. The differences
between the State laws would give
young Mrs. Thaw dover interest in
her husbands property should she
obtain decree in this State. This
This would amount to one.third of the
income of his real property during her
life, besides a provision from his per-
sonaI property.
Lawyers declare she would be Ger.
tain of obtaining an annulment here,
as under the law no other course is
possible but to grant an annulment If
insanity is proved in the proceedings,
as II legally was in Thaw's trial for
murder.
Young Mrs. Thaw was seen and she
refused to either confirm or deny the
report, but referred everyone to her
counsel.
Thaw denied the reports that he has
begun or is about to begin proceed
ings to secure divorce.

Rickey's Troubles

1t is said that uneasy lies the head
that wears a crown and from the way
that suits are piling up against Tom
Hickey, he ought to soon be in the
king class. The latest comes from
Cheyenne, Wyo, where, the Nevada
California Power company has entered
an action against Hickey for nearly
$4,000. The suit was filed in Wyom-
ing inasmuch as the power company
was incorporated under the law of that
state Prior to October 3d.. 1907, the
bill says, tho company entered into an
agreement with Hickey TO transfer to
him bonds and stocks for SIS, 900.
Hickey took the securities and accredit-
ed the power company with $25, GOO on
the books of the bank. The complaint
says at that time, the bank was insol-
vent and known to be- so by Hickey,
and that the credit given the Power
company really did not exceed in actual
value more than $1,000. On January
"a last the Power company was paid
az, 500 Of it's account, and on February
10, it got 1886 more, leaving a balance
of nearly $4,000, with interest unpaid.

Missouri's Vote 7s,Oop Smaller

A feature which has not been explain
ed since the election is the fact that
Missouri cast over $4,000 more votes at
the presidential and state election four
years ago than it did this year. At the
state election. two years ago, there
were 30, 900 more votes cast than there
were this time. These figures are
taken from the figures compiled by the
state Democratic committee and are re-
liable.
The stay-at-home vote is not confined
to the Democratic party, for while the
figures show that the majority of the
rs, 900 were Democrats, yet the number
of Republican votes which were con-
spicuous by their absence was strik-
ingly large. Every Democrat in
Missouri believed that the Democratic
vote would be larger than ever before
and the discrepancy is absolutely
mystifying to the leaders of both par
ties. No one can explain this peculiar
falling off, and no one, until more
close analysis of the vote is made, will
attempt to offer suggestion. 1t is an
assured fact, however, that had the full
strength of the Democratic vote been
polled, the result in the state would
have been different and the mysterious
stranger" would not again have paid a
visit to Missouri.-St. Joseph Observer

A Just Verdict.

The verdict of murder in the second
degree in the Chris Scott case meets
with general approval. While it is a
severer verdict than great many ex-
pected, it fills the measure of Justice
The killing of Clemente Gudici was
wanton and unprovoked and it is but
just that his slayer should be punished
The case was ably tried and District
Attorney Caine and his assistant, At
torney Henderson. deserve the thanks
of the people of Elko county for the
able manner in which the prosecution
was handled. The case was a difficult
one but their unceasing efforts uncover
ed the facts and circumstances surround
ing the crime and placed them in such q
light that the jury had no difficulty in
arriving at just verdict.
The penalty for murder in the second
degree is imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for not less than ten years and
may be extended to life. The recon-
mendation of mercy will doubtless be
considered by Judge Brown in passing
sentence and Scott may escape the ex-
treme penalty.
But whatever his sentence is, it
should serve as warning to men,
young and old, to leave whiskey alone,
especially when they know, as Christian
Scott did, that it makes them mean
and ugly He would not let it alone
and a prison cell awaits him. And
others are following in his footsteps.
