JURY REQUESTS
EXTREME LENIENCY
OF THE COURT
WILLIAM JEWETT is FOUND
GUILTY OF ASSAULT AND
BATTERY.

William Jewett, who was arrested
last week at Berlin and charged with
assault and battery, after administer
ing beating to his wife, was tried
in the justice court yesterday and
found guilty. The verdict of the
jury was brought in after a several
hours discussion and recommended
extreme leniency of the court, which
fined the defendant $50 and costs.
The testimony brought out in the
case was of some what sensational
nature and shows that the habits of
Mrs. Jewetts were not of the best.
1t was on account of her behavior
that Jewett chastised her, which
probably was justifiable but was not
in the pale of the law.

FIRST GAME
OF The SEASON
this AFTERNOON
BASEBALL WILL OPEN IN TONO-
PAH WITH A BLAZE OF
GLORY.

The ball season for Tonopah opens
this afternoon at the ball park where
the team from the volunteer fire de-
partment will cross bats with a
picked Goldfield aggregation. 1t will
be remembered that in the game last
Sunday the Tonopah team defeated
the Columbia team by an overwhelm-
ing score and after the defeat ,the
fans of the southern city announced
their intention of bringing over a
buch of stars to secure the scalps of
the fire demons.
The game will be called at 2
O'Clock sharp.
The lineup of the local team will
be as follows: O'Hara, catcher;
Seitz, pitcher; Malley, first base;
Agnew, second base; Herd, third
base; Perry, shorstop; Miller, left
field; Hatton, center field; Mcneil,
right field.
Worth w. Wilson will officiate as
umpire.

was held out to her if she would re-
tract but in her arguments for her
belief she converted her lover, Va
lerianus, and her judge. Remaining
firm in her convictions she went to
her death bravely. Inspiring such
love and admiration that her tomb
was long since provided with a
chapel where her thousands of visi-
tors may offer prayer.
From about 600 A. d. to the year
1000 the greatest advance in music
was made by four men. Pope Greg
DRY added four scales to the anthem
tic scales of Ambrose. These made
the foundation of the famous Gre
gorian chant to which the present
pope has begged the church to re-
turn and in many of the large ca
thedrals they are conforming with
his wish.
Huchbald, a French monk, Guido
of Arrezzo, an Italian priest, and
Franco of Cologne began the strug-
gle with finding proper and suitable
notation.
Their crude efforts were illustrated
by Mrs. Berry The chief cause of
wonder being that it took nearly 400
years to perfect the system.
The next club meeting will be
with Mrs. Tom Kendall, May 18th.

Advance of Music Discussed
at the Musical Club

The regular meeting of the Musi-
cal club took place yesterday after
noon at the home of Mrs. Walter
Cole. These events are very informal,
every one present may take part in
the subject under discussion and
needless to say a great benefit is
given those who are attending regu-
larly for Mrs. Berry is very thorough
in her work and knowledge of this
side of music. The lecture began
with early Christian hymnology. In
brief, Mrs. Berry said:
That the early Christians had
songs in their worship we know in
several ways. Perhaps the most pos
tive assertion being the one follow
ing the observation of the Lords
supper when the narrator says they
sang hymn and went out" The
nature of their music was probably
a combination of Greek and Hebrew
song. The followers of Christ were
recruited from all the people of the
adjacent countries. The Jews, the
Greeks, the Egyptians, the Romans
and carried to France, Germany and
even England.
On account of the peculiar mind of
the Grecian folk they accepted Christ
ianity only after every step had been
discussed pro and con. This hair
splitting tendency caused many sects
to form, leader and numerous fol-
lowers apparently stood ready to take
flight at the slightest difference of
opinion. Naturally all the time was
consumed in organizing the religion
itself and it's needs were left for the
time and not met until there came a
friendly emperor to the Roman en-
pire.
Constantine declared Christianity
should be the religion of the whole
Roman domain, bringing in all the
remote Roman dependencies besides
the territory of eastern Asia south
ern Europe and northern Africa.
This great incentive back of design
to make one grand Catholic faith
prevail created so glowing a need for
suitable music that the best men and
greatest musical scholars were APP
pointed to devise a song service of
beauty and dignity that could be
made universal along with the
church ceremonies. Another need
came with a change in architecture.
Constantine and his pious mother
built several large, pretentious
churches, and the great space to be
filed with the singing required much
more power and volume. This was
provided for by Ambrose, the pope
1T that time, who built a new mu-
steal system upon four scales called
authentic scales" Sylvester, the
succeeding pope, founded choirs and
provided instructors from the finest
of his musicians who even journeyed
into Germany, France and as far
north as the Netherlands.
A character sacred in musical lore
came to be known just before the
Emperor Constantine's conversion

JERRY LUCENTA
VS.. KID MCCOY

Jerry Lucenta, the 1l5-pouno
pride of the Hotel Spokane, has
been matched to fight Kid Mccoy
in one of the preliminaries to the
Spokane Portland smoker on the
10th. Lucenta takes the place of
Cyclone" Prague, the newsboy
champ, who has refused to box the
s. A. A. c. 115-pounder.
Lucenta enters the ring for the
first time when he goes against
Mccoy, but Young Pitts, a light
weight who fought Kid Scaler some
years ago in this city, has been
teaching the youngster few
angles of the game and expects
his protege to make good from the
jump.
Il am glad we have another man
to fight Mccoy" said Fred Creel
last night. II was afraid that
Prague would back out, but his
boasting about town that he could
whip either Hughes or Mccoy led
me to offer the newsie a chance to
make good. The only man who re-
grets Prague's action is Mccoy,
who was determined to give his
opponent a good walloping."

Spokane auto dealers expect to
sell a large number Of high priced
cars this season They predict that
Spokane Is entering upon the Sec
ond stage of automobile activity
and that the demand is for better
cars. (.
When the automobile first In.
vades a section, low priced and low
geared cars are sold almost exclus-
lively. When the cheap car wears
out the motorist wants something
bigger and faster, and of course has
to go after higher priced car.
: From the reports Of the dealers
as to prospective 1910 customers,
the high priced cars hold the atten-
ton of the motorists. OF course a
large number of cheap cars will be
sold, they always sell we'll and in
large numbers. 1t is contended,
however, that the high priced car
will have an unprecedented sale
this year.
: EXPECT GREAT SEASON..
If automobile shoppers ands sales
room visitors are to be taken as a
criterion, this season will easily
double that of last year in local
sales, 20.
Where 10 persons visited the
salesrooms last year to choose a
car for spring delivery, 100 are
counted this winter This spells
success" to the dealers of the city,
and they expect to dispose of over
600 cars during the 1910 season,
practically doubling the number of
machines in the Spokane district.
