SENSATION IN SHERIDAN
TRIAL AT GOLDFTELD

A sensation was sprung in the
Sheridan trial at Goldfield yesterday
which resulted greatly in favor of
the defendant. Mrs. w. II. Sher-
wan, one of the states chief wit
nesses, who resided in the same
house occupied at the time of the
murder by Sheridan and his wife,
stated that she heard an argument
between the defendant and Mrs.
Sheridan. Following the argument
she heard Mrs. Sheridan advance
across the floor, and distinctly the
sound of two blows came to her
ears. The weapon afterwards was
found to be a coal shovel, and an
abrasion on Sheridan's face showed
that Mrs. Sheridan had struck him.
The attorneys for the state tried
in vain to shake Mrs. Sherwan's
testimony, but the witness again
and again related the fact which
proved that Sheridan had killed his
wife after being provoked.
Further testimony by other wit
nesses was to the effect that Sheri-
dan had been brought home drunk
during the afternoon. After about
two hours sleep Mrs. Sheridan at
tempted to wake him in order thai
he might go on his regular Shift a
the Casey hotel, where he tended
bar.

Of the early settlers in this dis

dropsy. Deceased was Go years old
and was admitted from Nye county
November 10. He had been con
fined in the county hospital at To-
nopah for two months before he
was sent to the home.
Many of the residents of the camp
will remember "Old Charley Bull
lock. He lived alone for several
years in a tent out at the forks of
the two roads which run into the
main thoroughfare Of East Manhat-
tan. Being a prospector. he was
always in the hills in quest of for
tune and ii was his ambition to
gather enough OF the yellow metal
to enable him to live in ease the
balance Of his days. But old age,
coupled with exposure, soon got a
hold on the old fellow and he was
confined to his tent for several
weeks. Kind and sympathetic
neighbors brought him food and
cared for him during his hours of
distress. Dropsy set in and he
grew gradually worse and was re-
moved to the hospital. He was a
game old veteran and fought hard
against being taken away from his
favorite haunts. About the last
thing he said to a few friends as he
was removed, was: Good bye
boys; they won't keep me long. III

LITTLE GROUCHES FROM
GLOOMY GUS.
(Roswell Record

The Carrizozo News asserts that
the resignation of Governor Curry
foreshadows the death of statehood.
Why dig up that old corpse?
There is no law TO prevent any man
from making a fool of himself and
perhaps that is why so many do so.
We are told that business is getting
back In the normal. That means that
the trusts are abou ready to give
another jerk upwards on prices.
Anyone reading the Albuquerque
journal two years ago and today
would not believe it possible that it
was conducted by the same persons.
or course there was nothing in the
fact that A. NJ. Jackley, who filed the
charges against Governor Curry, went
off on the same train with Secretary
B%allinger.
The territorial tax rate has been
decreased but once during the last
twelve years and that was when IIa-
german vas governor. Perhaps that
was why the gang had it in for him.
That New York man who believed
he was possessed of the devil differs
somewhat from New Mexico polite
ians. He recognizes a truth when he
comes i'm contact with it, and the poli-
ticians do not.
