this vicinity have started move
ment toward revising the state game
laws. The recent legislature was In
a turmoil during the entire session

one bill, which intended to protect
pheasants, grouse and prairie chick
ems in a few east-of-the-mountafns
counties, mistake was made in the
enrolment which affected the entire
state. Under its provisions it is not
unlawful to kill any of the birds

Wagers Made That Calhoun VIII
Not Be Convicted.
San Francisco, May 10.--With the
case of the prosecution against Pat
rick Calhoun, the millionaire presi
dent of the United Railroads, charg-
ed with having bribed the supervis-
ors of San Francisco for certain
franchise privileges, completed and
the defense ready to present it's tes-
timony, there is lively betting on the
verdict of the jury The defense has
promised that its presentation will
not take more than four days. After
that will come the rebuttal and the
charging of the. jury, SO it is be-
lieved that within 10 days Or two
weeks the case will be given to the
jury.
Public sentiment among the men
who make a business of betting on
these cases is strongly against con-
viction.

Olympia--John II. Schive1y will
resign his Office OF insurance COM
missioner of the state. He has al
ready announced that he would re-
sign were it not for the fear that his
bondsmen. if he resigned. would sur
render him into custody at Spokane
and that he would go to Jail. It is
quite as much because OF the effects
on the public mind, were he jailed,
as the fear of actual Imprisonment
that has deferred him so afar from
taking the step that would retire
him to private life.

DECLARED SHE
SHOT SARTAIN
Rosetta Sweeton Placed on
Stand for Fourth Time and
COnfeSSeS.

TRACY CITY. Tenn, April IA
Yesterday evening Charlie Yell and
Rosetta Sweeton were bound over to
the Circuit Court, which convenes at
Altamont in July next, for the killing
of Bob Sartain at the home of Rosetta
Sweeton last Friday night. The coro-
ner's jury heard evidence Saturday and
Monday and during this time Rosetta
Sweeton was put on the stand three
times and each time denied any know
ledge of the death of Sartain until she
was notified Saturday morning; that
he was not at home Friday night until
about II o'clock; that she was in the
mines with Yell, where he and one of
her little boys were digging coal that
when she returned home there was a
bucket of vinegar and some packages
on her porch, but she left them there
and knew nothing about WIN put them
there.
One of her little boys was put upon
the stand and gave some damaging tes-
timony and the fourth time Rosetta
was put on the stand she made a con
fession and said that her little boy had
told the truth; that she shot Sartair
because he was trying to break into
her house, and no one else was respon
sible for the deed that Yell was MOI
there and knew nothing of the affair
The coroner's jury reported accord
ingly and warrants were sworn ou
charging Yell and Rosetta Sweetor
with the murder of Sartain The pre-
liminary hearing was had before j. M
Lusk, Justice of the Peace, yesterday
and some witnesses were introduced
who stated that Yell had made threats
and upon this testimony he was hell
with the Sweeton woman to await tn
action of the Grand Jury. Although
the Sweeton woman pretended to max
a full and complete confession, it i
not believed by many that she did SO
and the case is yet shrouded in mys
terry.
