HEARING
APPLICATION
For New Trial of Frank
Everett Now Serving
Life Sentence

Today in the District Court in this
city the application OF FAank Everett
now serving a life SENTENCE for the
murder OF Foreman Malone OF the
Nina round house, for a new trial is
being heard before Judge Langan.
Everett is making his plea on el-
rors in the law, erroneous instruct.
ions of the court, that the evidence
submitted at the trial did not justify
tne verdict and he was temporarily
insane at the time he committed the
deed.
At the time of the trial the case
attracted considerable interest owing
20 the fact that the murder was OF such
a deliberae nature. Everett entered
the round house at Nina and ordered
Foreman Malone to suppl: him with
an engine. Malone seeing the lntoX!-
lated condition OF the man paid no
attention to him He again made MS
demand and wdrds ensued. IN the
midst Of the argument Everett drew
his gun and shot the foreman to
death. Since that time he has maze
repeated attempts to be placed III the
insane ASYLUM at Reno AMI the luna
~ commission was called in by the
state to examine him. They declared
the man sane Since then his at
tornevs have been preparins the ap-
plication for new trial.

These are two Of the questions that
are agitating a number OF people at
the present time and many attorneys
Who have looked up the law on the
subject are OF the opinion that the
house is not legally organized and
unless it is reoreanized according to
the constitution of the State OF Ne
vada that any acts passed by the
body will be unconstitutoaI
There seems to be a tendency Oh
the part of the membJgs Of the lesis-
lature to ignore this part of the
proceedings but i'll our opinion it is
one which Should be settled at an
early date, in fact before any attempt
is made to consider any bin that
ma ybe introduced.
This session was called for q pur-
pose and that purpose should not be
defeated by any neglect on the part
of the representatives of the people
to follow the law set down by the
constitution Of the state
1t may be claimed that the House
is legally organized and that every
thing is as it should be. We hope
it is, but at the same time the matter
should be settled once and for al
and the people should be assured tha
any action taken by the present sess
ion of the Legislature viii be lega
in the eyes Of the law.

Longest Will on Record.

Longest Will on Record.
What is called the longest will on
record Is that of Captain Robert
Keayne, founder of the Ancient and
Honorable Artillery Company Of Bos-
ton.
4 It contains about 10000 words Print
ed and bound, it would make a good
sized volume, comparing favorably in
length with many novel Of the pres
emit day.
In its voluminous proportions this
will Is in striking contrast to one pro-
bated in New Orleans number of
years ago, in which the testator dis
posed Of its earthly possessions in five
words Mistress Roper is my
heiress."
The original Of Captain Keayne's
will is carefully preserved In the
vaults Of the register Of probate Of
Suffolk county. In volume / Of the
record Of wills probated 1t covers lao
pages, and it Is recited in the will
that the document was drawn up in
the handwriting Of the testator.
While Captain Keayne, who was
originally merchant tailor, in London,
left a fortune of fair proportions for
his day, it is Of interest to note that at
the present day fortunes Of millions Of
dollars are frequently disposed Of in
complicated trusts by only a few hun
dred words.-Boston Post

In Elnrhiddea Places.

A very large mastiff at one end Of a
leash and very small girl at the other
end formed combination which at
tracted the attention Of a casual pedes-
trian in quiet side street.
The little girl doubtless thought that
she was taking the dog out for an air
ing, but the big animal himself appear
ed to have the impression that he was
the leader Of the expedition, and, be-
yond question, the balance Of power
was entirely on his side. He dragged
the girl along despite her scolding and
xpostulations at a pace which kept
her breathless.
Suddenly, either from within of his
own or because somebody had been In
the habit of taking him there, he dart
ed through the swinging doors Of q
corner saloon. The girl looked horri'
fed: but, clinging determinedly to her
end Of the leash, she followed her
charge, and as the doors swung shut
behind her the casual pedestrian heard
this exasperated remonstrance:

On the day set for trial the defendant

'sWhy," demanded the Justice, ado

The lawyer would not contest this
point, but argued that such construc-
ton Of the law was against all sense

A vigorous alteration ensued, and
then the Judge remarked that not for

chivaIry and Eatness.

Have you never noticed that great
personal bulk and chivalry so almost
always together? Well, they do, and
am reminded Of circumstance that
happened long years ago. There was
in congress from the state of Alabama
q gentleman named Dixon Lewis. He
was notorious FOR his stoutness as well
as for his courtliness and abilities. This
gentleman was Virginian by birth,
but removed early to Alabama, which
state he represented during several
terms of congress and was in the SEN
ate at the time Of his death in 1S48.
Biographers relate Of him that one
time after the adjournment Of con-
gress he was on his way home in a
steamer that was wrecked and while
he had an opportunity to do so refused
to take seat in small boat because
his great weight would jeopardize the
lives Of others In the boat, and, al
though for time he was in great dan
ger, he was at last rescued. There was
a noticeable combination Of chivalry
and fairness. Post.

The Dogs Tail.

A prominent citizen was on trial
charged with harboring vicious dog.
The attorney for the defense had
been consulting a dog expert and had
learned that if a dog holds his tail up
over his back when he barks he is not
angry, while If he holds it straight out
behind him he is in a belligerent blood
thirsty frame of mind. Anxious to air
his newly acquired information. the
lawyer began cross, questioning the
prosecuting witness thus:
''Now, did you notice the position in
which this dogs tail was held when he
came at your"

that was not the end from which ]

Famous Epicures.

In the ceiling Of the dining room in
Nero's golden house." on the Palatine
hill, were compartments inlaid with
ivory which revolved, showering per-
fumes and flowers on the guests.
Flowers were presented to the guests
by slaves. They were crowned with
wreaths. Usually after one course the
tables were removed and others placed
before the guests. Throughout the
meal drinking continued until the BAN
queters fell under the table stupefied.
In those days men lived to eat. Great
generals spent fortunes accumulated
in years Of warfare in gratifying their
appetites. Lucullus on one dinner with
Cicero and Pompey spent $4,000
drachmas, or $1,000. Pithylus, who
was famed for the delicacy and origi-
nality of his dinners, wrapped his
tongue in linen when not using it. That
he might better appreciate favors Of
the viands he had it cleaned with fish
skin before dining.

man who buys a cigar cuts the end OF

counter, but that isn't all. He has
a habit Of putting the end OF the cigar
In his mouth first, thus wetting ii
