passed me I climbed farther up the
steep mountain. and, knowing that
had given them the slip and feeling
certain I could keep out of their way,
I at once struck out for Horseshoe

I fmmedia tely walked up the men OF
the station and told them Of my ad-
venture. Slade himself happened to
be there, and he at once organized q
party to 90 out in pursuit of the horse
thieves.
We had a brisk ride and arrived in
the immediate vicinity Of the thieves
rendezvous at about 10 o'clock in the
morning. We approached the dugout
cautiously, but upon getting in close
proximity to it we could discover no

and the general appearance of every
thing indicated that the place had
been deserted; that the birds had flown.
Such indeed proved to be the case.
Among one of my earliest acquaint-
ances was a young man, older than
myself, who was destined to become
famed in frontier history, while at the
same time legendary gossip has caused
his career to be somewhat misunder-
stood owing to its varied character.
This was James B. Hickok, who, al
though his name was James, will live
in song and story as "Wild Bill"
while probably no man in western
history had so many notches on his
gun, it may be said that no man re-
corded them oftener in defending right,
enforcing law and dealing justice.
In our early youth we were associ-
ated in many adventures on the plains
in Indian warfare. wagon trailing,
hunting and trapping, and we hap
pened to be on the same side Of the
fence when the civil war between the
north and the south left the plains al
most alone to the red man.
"Wild Bill" soon became one of the
most noted men in the confidence OF
the Union generals in the extreme

NO ONE 10 BLAME.

Holding no one criminally responsible
for the death of Archer Christian, half
back of the University OF Virginia foot
ball team, who died ia a Washington
hospital Sunday morning OF injuries re-
ceived In the Virginia Georgetown game
Saturday afternoon, but declaring that
the handling of the situation following
the accident by the police made them
subject to severe criticism, the corouers
jury last night rendered q verdict In
which ii was recommended to the com.
missioners that the police regulations be
30 revised rs to give members OF the
police department more specific instruo-
lions regarding the handling OF casualty
cases.
The verdict was as follows:
We find that Archer Christian died at
the Georgetown University Hospital,
November IA, of injuries accidentally
received 10 football game, and that no
one can be held criminslly responsible
for his death
We regret that the handling OF the
situation by the police appears from the
evidence to be open to serious criticism,
though 10 no way contributing, directly
or indirectly, to the death Of said Chris
lian.
We recommend 10 the District COM
missioners tina. not only a careful re-
vision Of the rules governing the con-
duct of the police 10 casualty cases be
made, bat that the members OF the force
be required to have 8 clear knowledge OF
them.

Fight Against the Peers

London, Nov. l6.-Lord Lesdowne,
conservative leader in the House of Lords
today exploded bomb 10 the compli-
Gated budget situation BY announcing
that when the peers take up the measure
for debate on Monday he will move that
the House of Lords refuse to pSss the
budget before an election is held. This
assured the defeat Of the Peers ane the
immediate beginning of the battle to
abalsh the House of Lords.
This will be the first time In the his
tory of England that the Peers have
presTmed to interfere with the revenue
raising power which Is an exclusive pre-.
rogatiqe of the House of Commons.
The llberls will ct once 90 to the polls
upon that issue, trusting to returning a
liberal government by such a msjority
az will insure the downfall Of the peers
as legislative body.

THE STATES ACCOUNTS.

The report of the special committee
appointed to audit the accounts of stale
ofiicialn, In pursuance of an act Of the
lat legislature, is In the bands OF the
governor. The work was In charge OF
former Mayor Carlton Mccarthy Of
Richmond. There is nothing sensational
in the report. Many recommendations
are INSIDE for change in system and for
laws that will have to be considered by
the next Legislature.
A recommendation is msde for the
appointment of force to examine the
books at the capitol and to "scour the
state with ioquisitive energy and to
inquire into every detail sfeoting the
states interests iE every city, town and
county of the commonwealth.
In substance the report urges the
creation of Slate Department OF
auditing.
The Office of the first auditor, Col
onel Msrye, who WIS under fire by the
republicans 10 the recent campaign, is
spoken of in the report in the highest
terms. 1t declares that the work of
this department will compare With that
Of any other state.
The Office of the second auditor,
Judge Dew, comes Ia for statement
that 1t needs so thoroughly competent
technical accountant" 1t is stated that
Judge Dew ia not to blame for this, as
he has himself repeatedly called stteD'
lion 10 such need.
The report recommends revision Of
the law Of road improvement,
1t recommends that bonds deposited
with the treasurer should be registered,
especially those by insurance com.
psnies
Changes are recommended in the Law
relating to fertilizer tags. The Public
Printer is advised to annually inventory
all State publications.
1t recomeuds that funds handled In
connection with the Department ofEduca.
lion be accounted for in books employing
double entry system,
A few pointed paragraphs appear In
the report as to the present loose system
whereby Safe boards can handle funds
Of their respective institutions without
the supervision Of the auditor. An
amendment to the law will be necessary
to DO this. The members of the board
are not criticised, as they are merely fol.
lowing out the statue.
1t recommends that the fiscal year and
the appropriation year be made coeval
and coextensive.

COMMUNICATED
TO PAY THE PENALTY.

10 less than seventy hours after this
paper went to press today, unless there
Is Intervention by the governor, Calvin
johnson, one of the three convicted of
the murder Of Walter F. Schultz, will be
electrOcuted 10 the Virginia penitentiary
The crime was one Of the most dIabolI-
cal ever committed 10 this section OF the
country-.bru.al In the extreme. Ac-
cording to the only evidence adduced,
and that upon which conviction vas
obtained, there we're tour actors In this
horrible drama, bat IL seems tbst the
curtain will fall and only three will die
as result OF this beartless deed. The
other will be left perhsps to either en-
joy permanent freedom or receive q sen
tence which Is much preferable to death.
This "innocent" who was "forced" by
Pines, Dorsey and Johnson to be an un-
willing witness and participant IN this
murder, 1t will be understood, did not
give this evidence until the officers we're
hot on his trail and had him corneFed.
he is believed, by many, to be the only
one connected with the deed. Human
life Is precious, whether In the frame Of
white or colored, aud no greater crime
can be committed than the electrocution
Of those who are innocent. No one, but
the Creator, knows the truth that lies
buried concerning this crime. II will
never be gotten from this thief, highway
man, debancher OF the morals OF the In
uocent, who has served two terms 10 the
penitenliaries and be knows another
sentence in this state means life behind
the bars, no matter II the jury here gives
him one or ten years. He knows IL is
bis finish; bat lite is 80 sweet to him It
lie natural for him to want to live, and
man with conscience like Smith,
would sacrifice dozen lives to save his
own. This Is not the time 10 make
reputation for lawyers when human
existence Is at stake, bat time when
discretion should be the better part Of

to Its discredit over football iS alleged to

football is game for gentlemen. The
question that is being raised Is whether
