OLD OFFENDER
MAKES APPEARANCE
BEFORE JUDGE
w. Il. O'CONNELL WILL SOJOURN
IN COUNTY JAIL FOR
THE WINTER

w. b. O'Connell, who evidently is
never at home unless he is resting
under the fatherly eye Of Sheriff
~. j. Owens at the county bastile,
was the main squeeze in Justice
Brisells court yesterday. AS usual,
he was somewhat nervous from in
dulging in disturbance waters and
of course was there with the ex-
PLANTATION that it would never hap
pen again. He was booked on a
charge of disturbing the peace, hav-
ing been arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Slavin, Sunday night.
| O'Gonnell vetured back to Tono-
pah last week, evidently forgetting
that he had been vagged from the
city nearly a year ago. On Sunday
night he found that his former wife
had cast him aside and was living
happily with her new husband.
| O'Connell started to pay a friendly
call to the lady and, contrary to
his expectations, was not welcomed
with open arms. Instead he was
told to beat it, and had the doot
slammed in his face. Naturally ne
became angry, and with a terrific
right swing, drove his fist through
the window. The impromptu moon.
light picnic was stopped about this
time by Slavin, who had been sum
moned.
Yesterday O'Connell was found
guilty of the charge above men
toned and was sentenced to pay ,
fine of $500, with the alternative o
serving one day in the county jai
for each two dollars of the fine
According to that rating O'Connei
will be the county's guest for thu
next $50 days.

LAS VEGAS VICTORIOUS
OVER JOE SEITz
Down-the-Desert Ball Team Wins by
Score of Four to Three.

In what is considered the best
ball game ever witnessed in Tono-
pah, the Las Vegas team defeated
Joe Sietz Sunday afternoon by a
score of to 8. Seitz was in the
best of form and the way he played
brought the fans to their feet in
Vulnerable times. He was SOME
what unfortunate in breaking a fin
ger on his pitching hand during the
ond inning, but this made no diff
ference in his playing and he con-
timed in the game until the fin
ish OF the batters who faced,
him, some Is succeeded in striking
GU while the Las Vegas pitcher
was credited with tanning but 10
men.
The attendance was better than
expected and every seat in the
grand stand was taken in addition
to a large bunch of rooters who
gathered on the side lines.
The game put up by the visiting
team demonstrates their right TO
the championship laurels, for they
were in the game every minute and
supported their pitcher every time
he got in a pinch.
One of the features of the game
was the umpiring by James j. KEEL
ly, who was right on the spot when
ever a close decision was to be rem
dered. OF course there were few
kicks, but what is ball game with
out an umpire to be roasted?
The score was to in the ninth
when the Las Vegas team brought

SUICIDES BY PLACING
DYNAMITE UNDER HEAD
NJ. C. Gibson Decapitates his Body in a
Gruesome Manner Sunday Evening.

naturally decapitated the body and
also destroyed the arm. The search
ers yesterday could not even find 4
fragmen+ of the missing portions,
and a hole about ten feet from the
body showed where the deceased
had lain when awaiting death.
The remains were brought to
town and taken to the morgue. A
search OF the effects proved the
identity OF the man and further
showed that he was member IN
good standing of the Point Rich
mond. California, aerie of Eagles.
In fact, when he first came to To-
nopah, about a month ago, he Wis
tied the local aerie, which was in
strumental in securing him the po-
sition on the ditch The deceased
also belonged to the Bisbee, Ari-
IONA Miners union, but had al
lowed his card to lapse owing to
the nou-payment of dues.
ellison was about 33 years of age
and his appearance and conYersa-
ton conveyed the impression that
he had received a good education
| That he was wanderer, was show
! from his letters, stating that he
had travelled all over California dur
ing the last few months.
Nothing could be learned con
corning relatives, although wore
was sent to the secretary OF thu
Point Richmond Eagles. An an
swer is expected today and unit
this is received, no funeral arrange
ments will be made. 1t is prob
able, however, that the remains vii
be buried under the auspices of tn
local aerie.
The coroner's inquest last even
ing elected no new information con
corning the death and the verde
was that the demise was caused b
suicide.

game of DEATH wrote NJ. G. ellison
Sunday evening preparatory to TAX
ing his life by holding a stick OF
dynamite with a lighted fuse at
tacned, to his head.
GiIson's body was found yester-
day morning about two miles north
OF this city, along the pipe line. He
had been employed on the line
since the work started and was re-
garded by the contractors as a good
steady man. Saturday he drew his
pay and proceeded to celebrate. {
is esumed that when he had spent
all his earnings he became despon-

proHosition.
sunday evening after dusk he
wandered out along the line, where
he net w. J. Landers, the watch
man. The two conversed for sew

turn to town and asked ellison to
ace mpany him, but the latter said

COURT OF APPEALS MAKES
SMALL CONCESSION TO ANNA
GouLD's Ex-HUsBAND.
DE sAeAN CANNOT VISIT
CHILDREN OF cAsTALLANE
Otherwise Suit Of First Husband in
Effort to Obtain Possession Of His
Children is Decided Against Him
Court Says De sagan's Influence is,
Pernicious.


Paris, May 27.-The decision of the
superior court on Count Boni de Cas-
tellanes appeal of the case brought by
him for the custody of his children
was handed down today. 1t confirmed
the decision of the lower court giving
the mother custody of the children, but
it set forth the father alone had the
right to choose their Instructor and
designate the college in which they
are to be educated.
Furthermore, Prince Helie de Sagan
is specifically excluded from the list
of persons authorized to visit the chill
dren, the counts contention that the
influence Of the prince is pernicious be-
ing in effect sustained. The costs Of
the appeal are divided.
The decision emphasizes the right Of
the count to control the education Of
the children. If the parents can not
agree on school within a fortnight
they are to be sent to the Lycee of
Janson, where only the mother, grand
mother and George Gould may visit
them. The decision sets forth also that
"Whatever the character and past Of
Prince de Sagan, it is not true the
princess imposed upon her children the
influence of her new husband to pref
udice their affection for their father"

Junkin's Attorney Scores His Client
But Defends His Act on Theory That

Centerville, May 27.--A great crowd
which filled the court room during the
Junkin trial this morning was stirred
by the testimony of the brother of
Clara Rosen and Il family friend. who
told of the finding of the murdered
girls body, and described its condi-
ton.
Some of the testimony showing that
the intention of the negro had been to
commit a criminal assault in addition
to robbery and murder. and the prob
able effect on the populace, is causing
the officers great uneasiness. Many
expressions of Indignation were heard
In the court house and 1t is fully ex-
pected that lynching would follow
any other than verdict for hanging.
In the absence of chief counsel for
defense. who Is sick, +. NJ. Hunter.
Judge Mtchelps law partner. made a
notable opening statement for the pris-
oner, whom he termed a criminal born.
and he also gave touching eulogy OF
the dead girl.
The foulest murder in the criminal
history of Iowa was the surprising
characterization by Frank Hunter. of
the murder of Clara Rosen. lie pictured
Junkn as an irresponsible criminal.
and declared life Imprisonment was tn >
proper punishment for moral dcgens
crate insensible to the significance nj
hanging.
States Attorney Cornell outlined the
evidence against Junkin, dramatically
holding aloft the blood stained stone
used to beat out her brains. The feat
ure of the morning session was intro
duction of exhibits, including the
blood-stained and hair matted stone
with which the crime was committed.
The crowd was eager to see them but
Junkin and other interested parties
gave them the merest glance.
Jury Secured in a Day.
John Junkin's fate will be decided
by a jury of seven farmers. two la
borers, two miners and one merchant
tai punishment when the facts warrant
1t. All know about the case and have
expressed an opinion on 1t.
The jury was secured only after
Judge Roberts had held court until 6 80
o'clock last night, and both sides had
exhausted every one of the ten per-
emptory challenges allowed by law. 1t
is jury which to all appearances is
all for the state. Prosecutor Cornell
and his assistants are perfectly salts
fed and have no doubt but that the
verdict will be a death warrant for the
negro. The Jurors follow:

mails be closed to advertising or the

The report commended one fraternal
orded heretofore noted for its con-
vivial membership" for its action in
discontinuing the sale of or drinking
liquor about lodge premises. Newspap-
ers which carry liquor advertising fell
under the ban of the assembly, 1t being
recommended that such papers be not
patronized. Social drinking" also re-
ceived a setback when it was urged
that the women societies of the church
make war on this evil, and make 1t
their business to fight the use of liquor
in women's clugs and in the home. The
last day in October was set aside as
