WILSON FREES TAYLOR
POSSIBLE END OF THE GoEBEL
MURDER CASE.
Henry Youtsey the Only Man to
Suffer for the Murder of the
Kentucky Governor.

Frankfort, Ky.-Gov. Wilson cleared
the Kentucky court records of all charges
growing out of the murder, in January,
1900, of Senator William Goebel, who
was declared to have been elected gov
ernor, except those hanging over states
evidence witnesses in the alleged con-
spiracy, by granting pardons before trial
to former Gov. w. S. Taylor and former
Secretary of State Charles Finley, who
have been fugitives in the state of In
diana for nine years; to Johp Powers,
brother of Caleb Powers, who is be-
lieved to be in Honduras; to Holland
Whitaker, of Butler county; John Da-
Wis, of Louisville, and Zach Steele, of
Bell county, under Indictment, and who
did not flee the state.
Those over whom the indictments are
left hanging are Wharton Golden, of
Knox county, now in Colorado; Frank
Cecil, of Bell county, now a railroad de-
tective in st. Louis, and VIM. II. Culton,
of Owsley county, said to have died in
the West a few months ago.
These cases, with the possible excep-
ton of Cecil, will be dismissed, leaving
Henry E. Youtsey, now serving a life
sentence in the state penitentiary, the
only person to suffer for the taking off
of Goebel.

ARMOUR SUCCEEDS PATTEN
Reported That Patten Has Changed
to Bear Side.

Chicago.-That J. Ogden Armour had
taken up the wheat corner where
wheat King" Patten left off was the
report on the Board of Trade.
With James A. Patten trout fishing
on his partners ranch near Vermejo
Park, n. NJ, and apparently giving no
attention to the wheat market, bears
became holder in their predictions for
further decline in prices.
1t was even prophesied in some quar-
tiers that Patten himself, who led the
bull campaign in May wheat, was about
to join the bear camp, and that the next
important development in the market
would be heavy short selling for July
delivery.
That is the plan the bears expect him
to adopt to get rid of the actual wheat
which will be delivered to him on his
May contracts. By selling the July
option short he will be enabled to pass
the grain on to the bulls in this option.

FIGHT ON TOP OF CARS.
Detective Wins Desperate Battle
With Four Robbers.

Chicago.-A robber was shot and killed
by Detective Prindiville, of the Chicago
& Great Western railroad, in a desper-
ate pistol duel on top of a moving
freight train, near Forest Home, Ill,
Friday.
The battle was a most thrilling one,
in which Detective P%rindiville was pitted
against four desperate men. To add to
this handicap, the robbers threw a flash
light on him, almost binding him, and
making him a splendid target for their
aim. Despite this advantage, none of
the bullets took effect. The detective,
who stood on an adjoining car, poured
a deadly volley of bullets into the rob-
bers. During the fight the train was
going at a high rate of speed, and the
combatants had to balance themselves
to keep from being pitched to the
ground.

MRS. CROSBY'S STORY
PULLED TRIGGER WHILE HER
HUSBAND HELD GUN.
husband Had Wife Decoy McShann
to Lonely Spot, Where the Two
Blew Top of His Head Of.

Hattiesburg, Miss.-Mrs. Minnie Cros-
by has confessed that she pulled the
trigger which sent the contents of a
d~ouble-barreled shotgun into the head OF
j. r. McChann, whose mutilated body
was found in a secluded spot near the
Bowie street bridge in Leaf river swamp.
G. L. Crosby, husband of the woman,
held the gun in his hands, took deliber-
ate aim at McShann's throat, while she
reached over his shoulder and pulled
the trigger.
Between sobs Mrs. Crosby repeated
the grewsome details of a tragedy abso-
lutely without a parallel in the criminal
annals of Mississippi.
She admitted that she had been inti-
mate with McChann, that she had met
him near the Bowie street bridge time
and again during the several weeks pre-
ceding the tragedy. With her own lips
drawn and perspiration dropping from
her pretty forehead, her bosom heaving
with emotion, she told how her husband
had intercepted the correspondence be-
tween McShann and herself and the
threats which he made at the time, how
under threats of death she had agreed to
assist in decoying McShann into the
swamp in order that he might be MUIR
dered.
She said that Crosby stood over her
with a revolver in his hand and dicta-
ted a letter to McShann, in which she
begged the young man to meet her at
the bridge, and to come alone" This
letter was mailed by her husband, who
received and opened McShann's reply, in
which he nromised To comply.

ANGRY HUSBAND GETS BLOOD
Kills Wife, Shoots Mother-in-Law
and Daughter, Kills Self.

Chicago.-Harry L. Summers shot and
killed his wife, Henrietta, shot and seri-
ously wounded his 10-year-old daughter,
Gladys, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. An
ME Mckenzie, and then killed himself.
Mrs. Summers, after repeated quar-
rels, had fled a week ago from her home
to that of her mother, Mrs. Mckenzie.
Wednesday Summers entered the kitchen
of the Mckenzie home, where he found
Gladys and the two women seated at
dinner, and opened fire with a revolver.
Mrs. Summers fell dead at the first
shot. Mrs. Mckenzie and Gladys fled
from the room and up a stairway, with
Summers in pursuit. As they neared
the top he fired four shots, %wounding
Mrs. Mckenzie in the back and arm and
the child in the back. They staggered
several steps to the second floor and fell
unconscious.

When Maxine Bootees,

Fascinating bootees can be made for
baby from remnants of silk or cash
mere left from a frock or blouse. Pat
terms can be bought for ten or fifteen
cents. Use wash ribbon for the bind
ing as it is essential that baby's foot
gear can stand tubing well.
Another point in making bootees Is
to have them long enough. Do not be
afraid of getting them too long. Tiny
feet grow apace and a short bootee,
though soft and pliable, may give a
permanent inward twist to toe nails.
If the child will soon walk these
bootees can be made with somewhat
sitter soles, which can either be cut
from soft leather or can be bought
ready made at a nominal cost.

FLORIDA FOR PROHIBITION.
Anti Prohibitionists Make Strong
Fight, But in Vain.

Tallahassee, Fla.-Florida took a long
and unexpected step toward statewide
prohibition. The house of representa-.
tives, by an overwhelming vote, adopted
the McMullen joint resolution providing
that in 1910 a constitutional amend
ment shall be submitted permitting the
voters to decide whether they wish to
have forever prohibited in the state of
Florida the manufacture, sale, exchange
and barter of all intoxicating liquors
and beverages" The story of the un.
expectedly strong fight by the prohibit
~tionists is told in the count of the tell
ers in the legislature during the past
two days. The vote in the senate on
the McMullen resolution stood "a for
and Z against; the house vote was SO
for and 16 against.

HARTMAN OFFERS A BRIBE
Hoke Smith Does Not Want $780,
600, 900 Spent In Georgia.

Americas, Ga.-The recent offer of E.
H. Hartman to spend SIC, 600 on
his Georgia railroads if the legislature
would repeal certain laws was denounced
by Gov. Hoke Smith in an address to
the board of trade at this place. Gov.
Smith declared the offer was in the ma
ture of a bride, and that Hartman EVIL
IDENTIFY thought $4,000 900 was enough
to pay for the privilege of doing as he
pleases in Georgia.
we desire" said the governor, "the
investment of foreign capital in Georgia,
but it must not take from the State ex-
cessive rates of interest. In that event
it would %impoverish rather than enrich
the State. To what legislation does he
refer when he demands a repeal by the
people of the State? Does he wish to
tear the railroad commission bill to
pieces?
"Does Mr.. Hartman mean that we
must abandon the reduction in passenger
rates made in the fall Of 1907? By the
reduction the people of Georgia are saw
ing a million dollars a year. He can
make a fair interest on his $40 ,000, 600
at present, but he evidently wants Geor-
gia to pay him annually 100000 adj
ditional Interest,"

WH|RL IN WHEAT PIT
WILD SCENES ENACTED-PRICE
DROPS WITH CRASH.
Patten Sold at Top and Bought at
Bottom and Rakes in
Another Fortune.

Chicago, II.-At the tap of the clos:
ing gong four hundred bruised, battered,
husky-voiced men disappeared hurriedly
from the floor of the board of trade
Tuesday and went in search of refresh
ments, rest and rubdowns. They were
the relics of a maelstrom in the wheat
pit, which, for fury and intensity, quite
surpassed any whirl experienced there in
years. Wheat quotations rose and fell
mostly fell-in pillows hat no one could
keep track of.
James A. Patten, Neptune of the pit,
tossed his trident on a rock and let the
forces of the deep make merry to their
hearts content. Then, at the psyche
logical moment, he picked it up again
and waded into the breakers. The guam
titles of deep sea treasure he swept into
his caves only he and his brokers know,
but it was enough to make a Capt. Kidd
turn owe in his grave.
In point of black and blue spots, num-
Der of derbies crushed and broken, nerv-
Gus forces expended and Volume of sound
produced, it is maintained by some vet
eran traders the days session saw new
records, regardless of the Letter deal of
1898. The amount of energy expended,
if transmitted into electricity, would
keep Chicago's electric fans running all
summer. The number of dollars lost and
won, if collected in one sum, would
make a colossal fortune. Some of the
"~relics" had voices that were torn to
shreds and others had eyes that looked
like saucers. That is the way of the
wheat Mi.
