Eagle Nearly Carries Or, cn,,s.

Montgomery, Ala, March A huge
bald eagle, measuring seven feet from
tip to tip, swooped down near a cot.
tage in Coosada township, ten miles
from Montgomery, occupied by ne.
gro named Sephus Brown and at
tempted to fly away with his three.
year-old daughter, Johanna.
The pickaninny was waddling about
the back yard in a freshly starched
white dress when the bird snatched
her in his talons. The father and
mother ran out and threw themselves
praning on their knees. The load was
evidently toe heavy, for when the
eagle tried to clear a low cotton seed
bin the dress of the child caught the
post, and the bird delivered of its
hold.

In his campaign speeches and in
his inaugural address Mr.. Taft made
the clear cut statement that he favors
revising the tariff on the basis of max
ing the duties equal to the difference
between the cost of production be-
tween the cost of production abroad
and the cost of production at home.
If he succeeds in getting this done
honestly it will greatly cheaper the
cost of living, go far toward solving
the trust problem and put new life
into the merchant marine. We sim
cerely hope the event will prove the
new president to be both sincere in
his promises and able to make them
good unlike his immediate prede-
cessor. who was a reformer with his
mouth only.

We speak of poets and artists as
if they were classes apart possessing
superior endowments. This is a mis-
take. Every true man and woman
boy and girl is both a poet and artist
and one who lacks these faculties is
deformity. There is, of course, a diff.
ference in the degree of endowment
and in many the faculty is not de-
veloped, but the almost universal ap-
probation of poetry and art proves
that it exists.

FIND NO TRACE OF REAL
ESTATE DEALER JONES
Many Believe Member of Land Com-
pany Firm Will Turn Up
All Right

Despite all the efforts of detectives,
acing under the orders of the district
attorney, no trace of L. E. Jones of the
Jones & Ryder Land company was
found yesterday. While 1t is believed
by some that Jones is still in Los
Angeles and is simply waiting for
things to shape themselves and allow
him an opportunity to come out, others
think the much wanted real estate
broker has fed to Mexico and will not
return.
The offices maintained by the land
company were closed yesterday by the
sheriff on attachments in civil cults
brought by w. T. Harris and w. G.
Hopkins. The first is for $500 and the
second for $4,000.
1t is said by many of Jones' friends
that he will be on hand today when
the first complaint against him is read.
He has up $500 cash bail, and the
friends say he will wish to save this
money if possible. The case will oe
heard in Justice Summerfield's court.

SLAYER REPRIEVED
AT ELEVENTH HOUR
NEBRASKANS LIFE is SPARED
AT GALLOWS' EDGE
Man Who Killed Mrs. Sarah Martin
at Lincoln in 1907 Has Dramatic
Escape from the
Moose

LINCOLN, Neb. Feb. 19.-With only
an hour to live, under the terms of
the death warrant, r. Mead Shumway
was reprieved by the supreme court
this afternoon and a stay of sentence
granted until March 5.
Shumway was condemned to die for
the murder of Mrs. Sarah Martin on
September 3, 1907.
The reprieYe was granted until the
showing made in affidavits that one
of the jurors who sat in the case
committed suicide over his remorse in
acquiescing to the death penalty and
evidence that Shumway was struck on
the head when a boy and that his mind
was affected in consequence.
F. G. Hamer, who worked for Shum-
ways reprieVe, will seek a commuta-
ton of the sentence to life imprison-
ment.
Shumway was prepared to die. He
had put on his death suit-a dark
gray-instead Of the usual black; had
eaten his last dinner; had heard the
death warrant read to him; had told
Sheriff Trude that he would not be
in prison if he had had a fair trial.
and had listened to the ministrations
of a clergyman.
A crowd Of $50 waited in the cold
broom corn warehouse and the hang
man was leaning. against the scaffold,
waiting for his victim. Then the war
den ran across the court, crying out the
reprieve, and Shumway for time was
saved
The evidence on which ShunaWay was
convicted was purely circumstantial.

SOME RELUCTANCE SHOWN
IN ELECTION SUPPLY BIDS

Because the Neuner company was
compelled to wait for its money for
election supplies for the last election,
the printing houses are showing a re-
luctance to bid on supplies for the re-
call election, was the statement of
Deputy City Clerk Wilde to the council
yesterday.
When asked by the council to tell
why the demands were held up Auditor
Mushet told of a peculiar state of af-
fairs. He said the Neuner company is
the only concern in the city that
handles election supplies, and as a con-
sequence has q practical monopoly on
the business. The supplies for the last
ing $1293.75. Under the circumstances,
the auditor said, he did not feel justi-
fed in approving the demands without
the authority Of the council as a whole
The demands were approved by the
council and the bills ordered paid.
City Clerk Lelande told the council
that as the cost of election supplies
was more than $500 he was compelled
to ask bids, but that it was a mere
formality, as the Neuner people were
the only ones who could furnish the
supplies and were the only printers who
understood printing the sample and
official ballots.
BEFORE the previous general election
he had asked bids on election supplies
from a house in San Francisco and re-
ceived the same figure the Neuner COM
pany asked, plus the transportation
charges from SAN Francisco to Los
Angeles.
