MAN ACCUSED OF ASSAULT
WITH KNIFE DISCHARGED

SANTA ANA, Feb. 16.-Jose Nieblas,
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon on Reyes Molina, was today
discharged from custody and the case
against him dismissed. Molina and
Nieblas quarreled while drunk and
each used a knife.
Molina got the worst of the en-
counter and has been in the hospital
ever since until yesterday he was dis
charged, and he swore to a complaint
against Nieblas.
The court took the view that both
got about what they deserved and that
to carry the matter into court would
be a useless waste of the county money.

United States Marshal Recipient of

Poor Leo Youngworth!
HapnY Leo YoungWorth! !!

Lying on what must be undoubtedly
bed of pain this morning, California S
popular bachelor United States mar
shal-about to become a benedict
must be divided between the agonies
of an unspeakable physical torture
laid on him, on the one hand, by the
loving hands of more loving friends,
who spanked and maltreated him until
it seemed human endurance could no
longer endure, and thankfulness for
tributes of affection, love and esteem
showered on him in measure that it
rarely falls to the lot of any man to
enjoy.
The occasion which produced this
contradictory condition of body and
mind was perhaps one of the most
historic-and certainly one of the most
enjoyable-banquets ever held in Los
Angeles. and took place last evening
between the hour of p. m. and a time
that the reckoning of guest figured
not, in the spacious banquet halls Of
Levy's cafe. 1t was bachelor din

that Leo Valtus Youngworth is about

COOPERS ARE
FOUND GUILTY.
Father and Son Sentenced to Twenty
Years Imprisonment for Staying
Of CaFmack-JOhn Sharp
Vas Acquitted.

I'VE, the jury, find the defendants.
Duncan b. Cooper and Robin j. Cooper,
guilty OF murder in the second degree.
and assess their punishment at confine-
ment IN the State penitentiary for a
period Of twenty years. This was the
unexpected verdict which greeted the
ears of those that crowded the court
room in Nashville, Tenn, on last Satur-
day morning to hear what punishment.
If any, was to be meted out to those
who had so ruthlessly shot down the
states most brilliant and gifted son,
Edward Ward Carmack.
The jury had on Friday acquitted
John ID. Sharp, indicted jointly with the
Coopers for the murder, and it was be-
ginning to be rumored that verdict
as to the guilt or innocence of the other
defendants would be impossible, when
tne jury announced an agreement, as
above stated.
Events moved swiftly from the mo-
ment the verdict was announced. and
attorneys for the defense at once moved
the court to set the verdict aside. judge
Hart, who had presided ut the trial de-
chned to do so, but stated that he would
hear further arguments along this line
at later day; and pending arguments
the prisoners were released on bond in
the sum of $25, 900 each.
Two months to the day were con-
sumed in selecting a jury, hearing the
evidence and arguing the case. Thirty
nve hundred Jurymen were summoned
before twelve men eligible to sit in the
case were selected. 1t is probable the
motion for new trial will be argued by
tne attorneys one day during the pres
ent week.

Rev.. w. P. Long and Rev. w. A.
Sutherland, of Greenville, Tenn, have
been preaching here at the Church of
GOD since Friday, preaching twice a
day, at 1880 a. m. and 7:30 d. m. Mrs.
Sutherland is with them. They have
preached some fine sermons and with
good interest.
Mrs. VIM. Ringstaff and Mrs. Kate
Pruett went to Sayersvile last Thurs
day. to be present on Friday at the
burisl of their youngest brother, Joe
Conley, age 15 years, who was killed
near his home on Wednesday while try
ing to dig some coal for his uncle's mill.
A rock fell on him, a distance of only
about foot, and gradually pressed the
life out of him. A small boy was with
HIM but was unable to remove the rock
which weighed probably 1000 pounds.
When other help got there he was dead.
He begged the boy to help him and
not to leave him. AS he died he waved
his hand and said, Goodbye, I'm
gone" He was the son of Mrs. Jane
Conley, formerly of this place, and was
a nice, intelligent boy, and being partly
raised here great sympathy goes out TO
the bereaved family, especially the
mother, in this their greatest bereave-
ment. The interment took place at
Crocketts Cove at IL o'clock with ap-
propriate services at the church nearby.
