Guilty Anywav.


The most striking instance of a van
ished man coming again to light to
take part in legal proceedings is that
which occurred in case where Dan
Tel O'Connell was defending a man in
dicted for murder. The case for the
prosecution seemed as clear as pos
sible. and O'Connell contented himself
with fewer questions than we're to
have been expected of so eminent a
cross examiner. When the case for the
crown had closed be announced that
be had but one witness to call, but
that witness was important to the
case. He was the murdered man. very
much alive. There was no doubling
the mans notwithstanding knew
it. The judge therefore turned to the
jury and directed them to acquit the
prisoner. To his amazement, however.
they returned verdict Of guilty.
Asked for an explanation. the foreman
observed that they had no doubt that
the prisoner was innocent of the MUIR
der. But" he added, 1--WE find him
guilty of sthealing my ould gray mare
three weeks ago."

In the spring Of 1880 his father con-

nomination, and his address in South

been widely quoted, -.~+S
Now, as to the mainland, after all,
that is the important thing: Mr.. Gray
is a man of unbounded popularity
genial, and always ready with an apt
reply. He likes people, and is there
fore generally liked; he is what men
call "a good fellow" and women, "a
splendid man." while politicians style
him "a good mixer"
Mr.. Gray's Home Life.
Mr.. Gray was married in 1893 to
Miss Grace harrington, associate edi-
tor of the Times. At Linden Hills,
where they have resided for over half
a score of years, Jim" Gray is a sort
of landmark. They have four chill
dren. You may see him any summer
evening with baby on one arm and
a pail on the other, bound for a nearby
pump; or in his backyard playing
tennis with his daughters or baseball
with the small boys of the neighbor-
hood, or, if nothing better offers, now
ing the lawn.
To sum up, James Gray is one of
the people and self-made man. He
has a natural taste for public affairs,
an exceptional knowledge of the state
and it's needs. His pre-eminent char
acteristics are common sense, even
balance, good judgment and caution.
Above all he is man of good princi.
pies an~ a kind heart.

FIGHT ON FEDERAL CONTROL
States Rights Men Submit Minority
Report at Irrigation Congress.

Pueblo, Colo, Oct. 1.-Two contests
enlivened the last days session of
the eighteenth National Irrigation con-

of the resolutions committee, in favor
of federal control of Interstate waters,
when a minority report in behalf of
states rights advocates was pre-
sented.
The second controversy followed
the report of the committee on per-

Chicago for the 1911 convention city.
It was announced that minority

Twenty-Five Years Of His Life Spent
in All Branches of the News

James Gray, the Democratic nomi-
nee for governor was born at Falkirk,
Scotland, the site of Wallace's last
great battle, Feb. IS, 1852, his father
being a master miller and his mother
the daughter of sturdy farmer. In
1866 his parents emigrated to Amer
lea and he was brought, as he ex-
presses it, together with other valua-
bles," to Bellevue, little milling town
in Iowa, where they resided, save
three years in Grant county, Wis, un-
til $780, At Bellevue he finished his
common school education. his scholar
ship being uniformly marked excel
lent" while his department was only
fair" owing to his penchant for see
ing the humorous side of things.
Full of enterprise, he began his
newspaper career when eight years
old by delivering papers and Incl
dentally heralding the news, and his
peculiar bent began to assert itself.
He took an eager interest in current
history and became we'll informed on
what was going on in the world, dis
ity and sagacity at once amusing and
significant training of great value
to him throughout his subsequent ca
reer.
Experience in Manual Labor.
AS he grew older he spent his vaca-
lions in the village sawmill, piling
lumber and, waist-deep in the water,
pushing and showing the logs to the
slip" During one summer he worked
on a macadamized road on a plan of
his own-contracting to work out the
poll-tax of citizens and getting enough
days work together to do the whole
job. Thus he was practical expo
nent of good roads before the present
crusade for better highways was born.
In 1879, during his last year in
school, he acted as supply teacher.

ly made with a view to sending troops
and warships to China.
For the last two weeks it has been
reported here in army circles that
troops would soon be on the way to
China, but no confirmation could be
obtained.
Inquiries sent by cable to Washing
ton brought the answer that there was
no official knowledge of such a move
1t was learned, however, that there
was imminent danger of a great re-
volt in China and that the bitter anti
foreign feeling makes it necessary
for the powers to have troops ready
to move at moments motive.
In Touch With Minister Calhoun.
1t is believed that the military au-
thorities have been in constant touch
with United States Minister Calhoun
at Picking and that the preparations
for transporting troops have been
made as the result of information re-
ceived in cipher dispatches through
official channels.
The Asiatic fleet has been ordered
to stand ready to sail at any moment.
The New York, the New Orleans and
the Albany are in Hongkong waters
at the present time. Ten gunboats
and cruisers are within easy distance.
In general way the situation in
China is much the same as that which
preceded the Boxer uprising, when
the powers were forced to take a
hand. The long standing anti-dynas.
tic activity has spread in the last year
with remarkable rapidity.
