FIND PRYSE GUILTY
OF MANSLAUGHTER
(From Thursdays Daily)

AiAoH luuluu"9 ba'S'l
Guilty OF manslaughter was the
verdict which the jury In the case
Of the state against J. NJ, Pyrse, re-
turned this morning after having
been out nearly eighteen hours. The
jury fixes the penalty low, two years
In the state prison. The verdict OF
the jury indicates that the members
OF that body did not consider that
malice or premedltatIon entered into
the killing but that It was simply the
result OF a momentary impulse while
the mans mind was not In proper
control OF hi sections.
Jose NJ. Yborra, the victim OF the
killing, was a young Mexican en-
ployed by one OF the grading camps
at work on the Santa Fe. His pa
rents live in old Mexico but he had
been In Amarillo at various times
for over a year. lie was better ed
ucated than the average OF his coun-
trymen and had acted as interpreter
at the camp.
At the time OF the shooting Pryse
had come to Amarillo on his way to
the south plains on business, He had
spent most OF his time In the Silver
Eagle saloon and had been drinking
freely. Shortly before the killing he
called up all the men in the house
TO drink at the bar Then the Mexi-
can and Pryse went back into one
OF the little back room. II a few
moments and without the slightest
warning two shots rang out from the
room and when the other reached
the place the Mexican was dead.
There we're no eye witnesses OF the
shooting, Pryse stated at the trial
ti-at the Mexican threatened him and
tried to take away his pocketbook.
No pocketbook was found on the per-
son OF either the Mexican or Pryse,
however nor in the room where the
shooting occurred.
Pryse Is deputy sheriff in Wheel
er county and has been living on his
ranch near Shamrock. He is a mar
ried man and has large family.
Ills bond after the examining trial
was fixed at $4,000 and he had no
difficulty in getting this signed by
substantial men OF his community.

Need New Stations.
We need now and must have in the
near future two more stations, one
in the Vicinity OF Second and Lin
coin streets and one near Van Blu
rem and Thirteenth streets. These
stations could be established at very
small cost to the city, as we have one
nand apparatus and the only cost OF
the establishment Of the station on
Second and Lincoln would be a small
building and possibly $50 feet OF ad-
ditional hose, and the one on Thir-
teenth and Van Buren, with small
chemical and $50 feet OF hose. |
would urge that these stations be
installed as soon as the city is in a
financial condition to make the I'M
dertaking and IL that will not be
within the next few months, would
suggest that a committee from the
council and the fire department So
licit a loan from the citizens in these
vicinities for the equipment of these
stations. Respectfully submitted,

Show Record Of Splendid
Usefulness

$112,232 is the amount above OPP
Grating expenses which the Amarillo
volunteer fire department has saved
for the city of Amarillo in the past
year according to estimates in the
annual report which Chief Tom L,
Miller made to the city council Tues
day. The report in full is as fol-
lows:
The department has responded
10 A alarms during the year, di-
vided as follows:
Gasoline 6, trash s, false 4, CT
gazette /, oil /, electric iron /, de-
fective flue 2, sparks from locomo-
tive /, sparks from blacksmith forge

Damage to buildings S6,940, damage
to stock and furniture $2,920. In
surance paid $11,S50. Feet OF hose
laid 1880. Estimated salvage
$115,100.
The city has expended as near as
can be ascertained, $2,46S in the
maintenance OF the department, and
$500 for new equipments. This
would place the amount OF $112,-
232 saved to the property owners,
irrespective Of the difference in in
surance premiums, which would be
far greater than the cost OF the main
tenance OF the department.
Against Careless Trash Burning.
desire to call the attention OF the
council to the ordinance prohibiting
the burning OF trash, only in APP
proved receptacles. The practice Of
burning trash in the open has been
the cause of eight alarms this year,
and some OF the fires from this cause
have reached large proportions had
it not been for the prompt action OF
the department.
There Is another thing along this
line that should have your prompt
and careful consideration. The prac~
tice OF many OF our merchants in
piling boxes and other inflammable
material in the rear OF their build
lngs, which creates fire hazard,
equal to IL not greater than wooden
building of the same size.
would also recommend that new
fire plugs be installed as soon as pos
sible according to the map submitted
to the council some months ago.
There is much territory annexed to
the city by the previous council that
is without fire protection, and
this territory is so remote from the
fire station that the chemical appa-
ratus is practically useless.
would also recommend to your
honorable body that you have rigid
enforcement of the ordinance. of con-

XV--The cleDeland-B -BIaine Race of 1884
By Frederic J. Haskin:

against which Blaine stood: Rum. Ro. manism and Rebeilion!"
 Rum. Romanism and RebeIlion!" The Democrats took 1t up on the instant. although MT. Blaine delayed whole day in disclaiming sympathy with this speech. There were but two days un- til election, then. and the disclaimer did not reach the voters. In New York there were certain interruptions ward workers who told the tale that Blaine himself had denounced the triple evils of Rum. Romanism and Rebellion"
 Despite the frantic efforts of the Re- publican legions. despite their bitter denunciation of the Democrats. the fla tai alliteration got in its work. Many good Catholics who had been persuad- ed to turn from their Democrats lean- ing to vote for Blaine. changed their minds again and voted the straight Democratic ticket. It was in the days of the ascendency of the Irish vote in New York.
 Either the conkIing detection in On efda County, the Burchard break, the St. John Prohibition vote. or the But Ter vote was sufficient to turn the scale. If any one of those things had not had been saved to the Republicans. Blaine would have been elected end Grover Cleveland never would have been heard of in national affairs.
 There was still another factor. It was charged at the time. and many New Workers of both parties who re- member the campaign firmly believe. that sufficient number of votes to throw the State to Cleveland were bought outright on the day of the election. It was charged that 750 votes were bought for Cleveland in one as- sembly district in New York. If that be true, then Cleveland owed his cleo ton to those purchased votes There has never been an election In which frauds have not been committed hy both parties, but when a Presidential election is so close as 1t was in 1884 the significance of impure elections Is brought home to the civic conscience with terrific, force, Tn the whole coun- try. however Cleveland had a popular majority of 10000. so the country as whole was pleased with his election.
 An amusing feature of the reception of the somewhat startling news that Democrat had been elected President was the waiiing of the ignorant ne. groes of the South. Republican poii- ticians had taught them that Demo- cratic President meant an instant re- turn to slavery. The same politicians had promised each negro forty acres and a mule in the event Of Republican success. The forty acres and mule story hadn't come true In the past. but the negroes feared the woe Of po- litical prophecy might be true. In some sections 1t required weeks to reassure the darkies and to make them under- stand that Cleveland would do them 1copyright, 1908, by Frederick J. Has
