MistriaI in Richard Smith
Case.

Bessemer, May Special Capt.
II. w. Crook, president of the Bessemer
board of trade, has issued a call for a
mass meeting to be held at Rebie hall
Monday afternoon at o'clock for the
purpose of considering the question of
courthouse for Bessemer.
This action has been determined upon
by the call of Governor Conner for a
special election to be held for repre-
sentative on Saturday, June 10, and the
Board of Revenue has been so strongly
urged to take some action and call an
election for an issuance of bonds for
courthouse purposes on the same date
as the other that definite action will
have to be taken by the Board of Rev
come within the legal time for order
ing the election for bonds
Several strong delegations will walt
upon the Board of Revenue Monday and
urge the action, and in view of this
fact the mass meeting for the citizens
of this end of jefferson county has been
called. Every man interested In the
matter, living within the jurisdiction
of the Bessemer court, is urged to come
to the meeting as 1t is the intention
to appoint large committee represent
ing every beat from this end of the
county to go before the Board of Rev
enue on Tuesday morning, May IS, at 8
o'clock, and present Bessemer's request
in the matter of a courthouse. From
all that can be learned a large and
representative gathering of citizens
will be at the meeting and there will
be many discussions as there are those
who favor a courthouse and there are
those who oppose asking anything of
the Board of Revenue in the matter.

Trail of the Cow.

Mr. Hammett explains 1t thus The
frontiersmans COW came home at night
across the mountain. She followed the
dim trail of the Indian and the wolf. The
owner of the COW followed the same trail
on his hunting expeditions. AS civiliza-
ton advanced into the wilds of the forest
it followed this same PATH and the road
was established. Through some lack of
energy or intelligence the route has never
been changed.
This is but an example of thousands
of similar conditions in the state of Ala
bama," continued Mr.. Hammett.

STEALING FOR WAGES
 STATEMENT OF ROBERTS
But He and His Employer Were Ar rested Before First Pay Day.

Joe Roberts, the man who was ar rested with F. Velarde, the Tempe road blacksmith, for stealing barley at wholesale. only partially redeemed his promise yesterday of the day be- fore to make a complete statemo mt of the affair. He made a statement
 but it was not comprehensive. It was merely an acknowledgement of the theft, in the proceeds of which
 he said, he had no interest. He was only working for wages and he was not sure of the scale, but he thought that Velarde was to pay him a dol lar and a half a day, or rather, night. There was no written contract and as the first pay day had not come before they were arrested, there had been no settlement. Roberts said that he did not know what Velarde had received for the stolen barley, all of which appears to have been sold to. Espinosa. Roberts saw no money at all. None was found on him at the time of his arrest, but he had a gold watch and a gold ring, both of quality quite out of keeping

of the station of life of the prisoner
 The officers went out to see Vel arde, who had been released the fore noon before on bail They found a man with an exceedingly defective memory He could remember all he had admitted the day before and that was that he and Roberts had been caught with the goods. He could not remember, however. what had been done with some forty-six sacks of barley. which had been stolen prev ious to that night.
 It had been mentioned that shock of oats. which had been stolen from Phys ranch had been found at Vel arde's place. He was asked when that was brought there. Velarde could not remember.
 Martin Gold, who lives near the river, had also lost several sacks of grain and yesterday he swore to an other complaint. This affair has been a great sensation in Spanish-Ameri- can circles on account of the prom thence of Ve,arde in the community and his hitherto good reputation as q hard working and honest citizen.

course now to be pursued by the for est service, MT Hatton's letter says:
 As heretofore the grazing regula- tions will continue to be vigorously enforced upon every forest Any will ful violation will be at once reported by the forest officers and prompt ac- tion will be taken. Past experience has shown that only upon very rare occasiOn- indeed is court action neces- sary. The acknowledged justice and propriety of the grazing regulations have generally appealed to the sense of fairness of forest users. with the re- suit that willing compliance with and hearty cooperation in the enforcement of. the regulations. have been the rule, and cases of willful violations have been of rare occurrence Where court action is found necessary it has al ways been and will continue to be the rule of the forest service to avoid criminal prosecution if possible. and to rely upon remedy by civil action"
 After remarking that. since the United States district court for the northern district of California has held contrary to Judge Wellborn's decision there is no reason why criminal prose cutions may not, in proper cases. be brought in that court. the decision of which has equal authority with that of Judge Wellborn. the letter con tinues:
 Tt is proper also to call attention tn the fact that, pending the appeal from Judge Wellborn's ruling. there has been no final determination that il is not q crime to willfully violate the grazing regulations, and if in any case fragrant abuse is attempted in the meantime, the guilty party will, if the supreme court disapprOYes Judge Wellborn's ruling. be liable in every case to criminal prosecution, and to a fine of not more than $500 or impris- onment for one year. or both. as pro Vided by the act of congress approved June 1, 1SS0.'

number OF proofs OF the new cent dies
have been examined by Director OF the
Mint Leach and have been found to
be satisfactory.
