BEFORE COURT OF APPEALS.
Ellsworth Case Is Argued for Sec.
ond Time.

GNU IlHlts
Argument on the appeal OF Frank
Ellsworth, convicted and given a life
sentence at the last term of the dis
trict court of Donley county for the
murder OF Earl Dockray, was COM
pleted at the hearing before the
court OF appeals in Austin day be-
fore yesterday and the case is now
under adyisement. NJ. ]. R. jack
son, OF Gustavus & Jackson, OF this
city, and D. f. Simmons, ex-assist-
ant attorney general, OF Austin, pre-
scented the states case before the
court and l.. c. Barrett, OF this city,
argued the case for Ellsworth.
Although many points in the testl.
mony and the trial OF the case were
brought up In the argument and al
legged by the defendants attorney
as warranting a reversal OF the YER
dict OF the trial court, the most i'm
portant point was general under
stood to be the contention that the
trial court erred in failing to
charge the jury in regard to murder
In the second degree. The defend
ants attorney argued that the court
should have included murder in the
second degree to his charge.
Just when the court will return
a decision in the case cannot be def
initely stated.
This is the second time that the
Ellsworth case has been carried to
the court of appeals. At the first
trial of the case here the defend
ant was found guilty and sentenced
to life Imprisonment but the defend
ants attorney succeeded in getting
the case reversed. On change of
venue the csae was taken to Dom
ley county where Ellsworth was
again found guilty and sentenced to
life imprisonment. Ellsworth Is now
in Jail at Clarendon. His alleged
accomplice, Joe Burk, is also in jail
lat Clarendon but his case cannot
come up for trial till the Ellsworth
case is settled.

(From Thursdays Daily)


Through the accidental discharge
Of a small revolver which her little
son had found In the bottom of a
trunk, Mrs. Wyllie. wife Of Robert
Il, Wyllie. general foreman OF the
Santa Fe shops here, was seriously
wounded this morning at he rhome
on Lincoln stree. Hd condition
is not considered fatal at present,
however, and her attendants hope for
an early recovery.
II. Il. Wyllie has lately accepted
a promotion from his position here
to the Santa Fe shops in Kansas
City and the family was preparing
to leave Saturday for their new
home. Mrs. Wyllie was engaged In
packing some Of the household goods
for storage when her little son got
hold OF a .22-callber revolver which
had been left in trunk. The
youngster had been trying TO snap
it and brought 1t to his mother with
the request that she shoot 1t for him.
Mrs. Wyllle reached to take the re-
volver away and in some way the
weapon was discharged. The bullet
struck Mrs. Wyllie in the right breast
and lodged.
Help was at once summoned and
the wound has received every pos
sible attention. 1t is thought that
the bullet did not injure the lung
but merely penetrated the plueral
cavity and dropped. The chief dan
ger will be from infection and II the
wound does not develop compiled.

rapidly without any serious conse-
quences.

The sympathy OF Texas Press Is
hereby extended to the Austin Trib-
une, which has this painful lament:
Wouldn't 1t make you mad, il
you were the editor of the Tribune
and had gone to considerable ex-
pense to provide a stereopticon bull
letin service Of the election returns
from over the state, seen it pack
congress avenue from curb to curb
for a solid block, and then to have
the morning paper, which was forced
to depend almost entirely ON your
bulletins and the fluent typewrite-
writer OF its managing editor for its
news, boast that thousands came to
read its bulletins? No, you'd just
laugh and say, well, the decrepit
old sheet has no enterprise OF its
own and must steal credit for some
wherever it can"
The Telegram supplied those same
bulletins to the Tribune, and cannot
but join in feeling of regret at the
base uses to which they were put.
However, it's all over now until the
next 'time.---Fort Worth Telegram.

BY decision Of the stale supreme
court this week, the application OF
y. u. Savage ct al, Of Amarillo, for
reversal OF the decisions of the
lower courts that the injunction
granted early in January by Judge
Lewis Fisher of Galveston be dis
solved, is refused, The plaintiffs
will have fifteen days in which to
move for q rehearing before the
court. The proceedings in the SUI
preme court are the last resorts in
sustaining the injunction secured by
the saloon men Of Amarillo to pre-
vent the publication of the order put
ting prohibition in effect, but, al
though the plaintiffs have lost in
the court every step OF the proceed
inge from the lower courts through
the various hearings, they have
gained the chief consideration for
which they were working and have
prevented the putting of prohibition
into effect till the trial of the con-
test BY the terms of the original
injunction, its provisions extend only
to the trying of the contest and as
this will begin next week before the
district court here, the present de-
cision of the supreme court does not
shorten the time OF the original in
