MRS. BOYLE
GUILTY TOO

Mercer, Pa, May S.-Mrs. Boyle was
found guilty of aiding and abeting in
the kidnapping of Billy Whitla by
jury this morning. The jury was
out only short time this morning
but the verdict was not read until / 80
this afternoon. The trial judge hint
ed at the strong pressure that was
brought to bear to convict the woman
of kidnapping. Mrs. Boyle said she
and her husband would not go to pris-
on alone but that third person whom
she said was responsible for the plot
would go too. She also limited that
she would take her own life before
she would go to the penitentiary. She
was given no opportunity during the
trial to tell the name of the person
supposed to have knowledge OF the
conspiracy.
The court room was crowded to suf-
location when the verdict was an
nounced but there was no demonstra-
tions owing to the warning by the
judge. Mrs. Boyle made no sign but
drew on her gloves and walked with
the sheriff to the Jail. Her attorney
announced that he would ask for new
trial. 1t is not believed it will be
granted. Boyle's sentence may be
from one year to life and his wife's
one year to twenty-five.

REPORT OF A CYCLONE AT
CLOVIS THIS AFTERNOON

A WILD report was circulated on the
streets this afternoon that cyclone
had struck Clovis late today, killed 10
people and done much damage to
property. There is absolutely no con
srmation of this report and it is be
iieved that there is nothing in the
story more than the fact that big
wind storm hit the north end OF the
valley. There is no. long distance tel
ephone connection farther than Acme
In the language of the telephone op-
orator the lines are all 'tshot to piec-
es.'' The telegraph lines are in the
same condition. Western Union
message from Texico states that the
wind storm there this afternoon un-
rooted several buildings and did 9TH
er damage. Nothing was said about
such a disaster as told in The street
r1rmor about Clovis.

trip in norther NeeMwcoM ma; tn
trip in Northern New Mexico, James
A. Patton, the Chicago wheat broker
is today speeding back to Chicago.
where he will arrive at 7:30 tomorrow
morning. He registered last night at
the hotel as ED Jones, Chicago, and
swore his employees to secrecy.
Mr.. Patten was the center OF sever
al amusing incidents on the way to
leave for Chicago. He declared he
was not Patten but Jones, and wanted
to buy a through ticket from Terco
to Chicago when the agent wanted to
sell him a ticket to Trinidad only. He
has been trying to elude the reporters
for two weeks he says but has been
unsuccessful even in the mountains.
And wanted through ticket so that
he would not Tbe bothered again.
When approached by a reporter he
again denied that he was Patten, but

hat band when the wheat king was
at a table sam the name of James

ROW OVER
PIG LEAD

Washington May Soon as the tar
iff bill was taken up in the senate to-
day, Senator Bristow opposed an in.
crease on lead from one andone-hah
cents per pound to two and one-eighth
cents as provided in the new bill. He
said the increased rate would make
it equal to the Dingley rate. He held
that the House had been judicious IN
its actions to reduce the rate. Sena-
tor Ahdrich said it made no differenc
what the House did but that the SEN
ate should do justice. Bristow con-
tended that the riifferential provided
by the duty recommended by the com
mittee on finance on pig lead is great
er than the cost of smelling and is un
warranted.

FIGHTING WAJSH'S PLEA

Chicago May 8.-Government attor-
neys today filed briefs in opposition
to the plea of John r. Walsh, under
sentence of five years imprisonment
for misapplication of the funds of his
defunct bank to obtain freedom by aip-
pealing to U. S. Circuit court of ap-
peals. Walsh's banks were the Chi
cago National, Home Savings and the
Equitable Trust Company.
These banks closed their doors De-
cember 18th, 1905, with a shortage
of $16,00O,000. 1t is charged that
Walsh drought up the nearly bankrupt
enterprises and organized new cor
porations. He sold the bonds to the
banks and if the enterprises had made
good Walsh would have been enrich
ed. Otherwise Walsh lost nothing
and the banks were the losers. In all
the transactions Walsh's name did not
appear on the books of the banks
The government attorneys charge
that there was no market for the
bonds for his struggling enterprises
and that he made the banks a market.
