From Tuesdays Daily.
A meeting OF farmers from around
the county, Lime, Decoria and other
townships, was held at the city hall
last evening, from six to nine o'clock,
to talk over the ACCESSIBILITY of fur
Their steps being taken to right what
they believe to have been grave mis-
carriage of justice, and to make such
things in the future less likely to hap.
pen. 1t was the outcome of the trial
|of Mrs. Grace Ledbeter. 1t was the
general opinion, so it is reported, that
steps should be taken to have Mrs.
Ledbeter indicted again, if this is pos
sible, as an accessory after the fact, or
on some other charge. There was also
a feeling that the state was handicap
ped in the prosecution OF Mrs. Ledbeter
by lack of sufficient premptory chal-
|lenges, by the absence OF witnesses, etc,
and it seems to have taken strong
hold on the people, rightly or wrongly,
that something was rotten in Den

Meeting Tomorrow Afternoon.
The meeting raised money with which
ITO lease the opera house for a public
meeting to be held at two o'clock to-
morrow afternoon. Whether it is to
be called an indignation meeting, or n
meeting for the purpose of taxing
steps to preserve the public safety or
some other name is not known, but
the leaders intimate that it is apt
to be Il pretty warm affair.
This meeting will be thrown open to
the public, and the farmers and ladies
are particularly invited. There is short
time to act before the next grand jury
meets, so longer notice of the meeting
could not be given. The grand jury
meets one week from today.
One of the matters that it is thought
may come up is that of securing addi.
tional legal talent to assist the state,
in case it is not unwilling to accept it.
1t is thought that outside attorneys of
known fighting qualities may be of pc
culiar assistance to the state at this
juncture, in addition to the faithful
service of the county attorney and
Judge Geddes.
Possibility of Indicting Woman.
Besides the possibility OF indicting
Mrs. Ledbeter again and giving her a
trial that will appeal to all as giving
n
portunity of presenting all the evidence
possible to secure before an absolutely
fair jury, one OF the matters scheduled
Ito come up is said to be considera-

The Public Benefited
Globe People Greatly Inter ested in the Generous Of fer of the Palace Drug
 Co.,, Inc.

The people have already demon strated that they would rather trust man who is naturally honest, than a man who was honest only because he had to be.
 The Palace Drug Co.,, Inc, have a firmly established reputation for square dealing and sterling honesty. When they told the people that ReXall Reme- dies are the purest and most dependable remedies that it is possible for modern science to produce and that they would tell the public exactly what each one of these 300 remedies contained, and that they sold Rexall Remedies on their own personal guarantee that they would give entire satisfaction or the medicine would not cost the user a single cent, they were believed.
 Ever since this announcement the store of the Palace Drug Co.,, Inc, has been crowded by people buying Rexall Remedies, all of which proves that the Palace Drug Co.,, Inc, have the conf dence of the people and that honesty is the best policy. There is no "cure- all among the Rexall emedies,-there are 300 different and separate medi. cines; one for each human ill, and each unquestiOnably the best of it's kind.
 ReXall Dyspepsia Tablets are partic- ularly recommended for the positive cure of stomach irritation, indigestion and dyspepsia. They are rich in Bis muth, Subnitrate Pepsin and Carmina- tives, and are prepared by special process which perfects and enhances the great curative value of these we'll known medicinal agents. Everyone suf- fcring from a stomach disorder should try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, inasmuch as they cost nothing if they do not satisfy.
 The Palace Drug Co.,, Inc, are cer- tainly fortunate in securing control of the sale of these remedies, and we urge everyone in need of medicine to investigate and take advantage of their frank and QenerOuS offer

Good pictures are being shown at the old Iris theater, hereafter to be known as the Quinn theater.

 'The Ostrich and the Lady' shows the life of the ostrich on the farms in southern California, the plucking of the feathers, and then finally the fin ished product on the lady's hat. The ending of the picture is novel in effect.
 The comedy element is introduced in "The Ranch Girl s Legacy' and "The Newly-Weds, ' the latter being es- pecially amusing.
 The same bill will berun until Mon day evening.
 At the Martin theater there will be quite an innovation in the form of a Sunday matinee. Tomorrow afternoon for the opening matinee, Quinn Bros will present the Charles King stock company in "The Bishops Carriage, ' play that has been tremendously successful in the east and also on the Pacific coast.

Coming Suits Will Affect Every Railroad in the
 United States

CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 25.- Prominent attorneys representing the federal government are in this city con. ferring with former Assistant United States Attorney General Wade H. Fl. lis in preparation for what is regarded as the greatest legal battle of the in. terstate commerce commission in its existence.
 The case is set for hearing in the supreme court of the United States, on Monday, April f, and involves the pow CT conferred upon the commission by the Hepburn law to fix rates where railroads are found to be overchargrng.
 This point is vital toward rendering effective the work of the commission, and MT. Ellis has been especially re- tained in the ease, which involves the commission s order reducing the rate for first class matter from the Allan tic to St. Joseph, Omaha and Kansas City.
 Every railroad in the country will be effected by the decision.

DIES AT HOSPITAL
 FROM DRINKING.
John Richards Unknown to Local Officers-Body
 Taken to Morgue

Suffering from delerium tremens, his health broken from long continued al coholic excesses, John Richards, of whom the authorities know practically nothing, died at the county hospital yesterday.
 Richards was arrested several days ago by Sanitary Inspector Lowthian and locked up in the city jail He had apparently been drinking heavily for some time and was on the verge of a nervous collapse. His case was at once reported to Dr. B. G. Fox, city and county physician, and he was given medical attention.
 The man S condition seemed to i'm prove steadily and to all appearances he was well on the road to recovery When he was visited by Dr. Fox yester day, however, he was suffering from a relapse. He was rushed to the coun ty hospital in an effort to save his life bu'C his constitution was so weakened from alcoholic eXcesses that he died almost as soon as he reached the hos pital.
 Absolutely nothing is known of the man, as practically his only statement concerning himself was to the effect that he had been drinking excessively for about three weeks.
 The body was removed to the mOrgue and will be buried as county charge

Arizona-ColoradO Taken by Great Eastern Develop

PURCHASE PRICE
 NEAR A MILLION
E. M. White at Head of New Company and Will Have
 Charge of Mine

At a meeting of the stockholders of the Arizona Colorado Copper Belt & Gold Mining & Milling company, held at the corporation s offices in Globe yesterday forenoon, the ratification of a resolution to transfer the company $ property to the Great Eastern Develop ment company was passed The option under which the transfer was effected was held by E. NJ. White, and the pur. chase price named therein is approXi- mately $900,000, which is to be paid partly in cash and partly in stock with in three years. The first payment of $35,000 will be made within one month and thereafter no further payments will be due until the expiration of the three years mentioned in the option The cash balance to be paid for the property in addition to the stock pay. ments and the first payment of 35,000 is $225,000.
 The new organization called the Great Eastern Development company has been formed through the efforts of F. M. White, who for over six years was superintendent and general man. oger of the Warrior Copper company before the sale of. its property to the Hovland X Smith interests last Octo. Der. Mir. White will be both presi- dent and general manager of the Great Eastern Development company and his assuming of this position assures the new corporation of capable and conser- vative management. The development company, as the name suggests, is back ed largely by eastern capital, and is capitalized at $500,000, divided into 50,000 shares of stock of par value of $l0 each. So far it has not been de. termined just how much of ,the stock will be issued for the present.
 The property taken over by the Great Eastern Development company consists of twenty-One claims located about three and one-half miles northeast of Globe.
 As soon as few details connected with the completion of the organiza tion are attended to, the development of the property along systematic lines will be commenced, but so far, definite plans for the initiation of mining opera. tions have not been wholly perfected The present workings on the property consist chiefly of 900-foOt shaft from which levels have been established at depths of 800 and 900 feet. In the course of the past development work considerable high grade ore has been disclosed and there is good reason tc believe that future operations there should obtain highly satisfactory re. sults.
 Those present at the meeting held in Globe yesterday were E. M. White, president of the Great Eastern De velopment company; Homer Crumrine, president of the Arizona Colorado com pany; C. II. Trotter, secretary of the Arizona Colorado company; and Frank l.. LittletOn, attorney for the Arizona Colorado company.

R, l., Pinyan Only Candidate Announced for Trustee
 District No. 1
WOMEN MAY VOTE
 IN THIS ELECTION
Frank Towle Also Promin- ently Mentioned as
 Candidate

The first of the many elections to be held this year will occur today, when a new school trustee for district No. l will be elected by the voters of this city.
 Voting will take place at the central school building, the polls opening at 9 clock this morning and closing at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The us ual voting qualifications will apply to this election, with the exception that in addition to the regularly qualified electors, all property holders or heads of families who are not property owners, are allowed the right of franchise. This provision applies to women, who may vote if they so desire, this being the only election of the year in which the far sex has voice.
 As yet, only one candidate has made a definite announcement of his candi- dacy, R. l.. Pinyan, who two years ago ran against Dan Williamson as cOun. ty treasurer. He has many friends in this city and will make a hard fight for the position.
 F. F. Towle, has been spoken of. In school elections, however, the filing of formal nominations is not required and just who will be in the field will not be definitely known until the polls open this morning.
 While the school election is in prog ress in this city, similar elections will be on throughout the various school districts of the county In the major. ity of the districts, one new trustee will be elected for term of three years, as is the ease in this city. In few of the new districts, however, trustees have been named for short terms by County Superintendent w. o. Kellner and in these cases, an entire new board will bo chosen.
 The election will be in charge of c. M. Allison, w. H. Dunham, L. II. Brswn and w. A. Galpin, who have been chosen as election officers.

MOTHER IN LAW AS
 AvENGER
Alleged Murderer to Face Court by Diligence of
 Wife's Mother

COLVILLE, Wash, March 26.-An averaging mother-in-law is responsible for the senious plight of George l.. PepOon, who is about to be placed on tria! here to answer for the alleged murder of his wife, Mrs. Edith Pepoon. The death of Mrs, Pepoon occurred at NorthpOrt last August. Shortly after ward Mrs. w. D. Wolcott of Portland, the mother of the dead woman, was in formed by neighbor of Mrs. Pepoon that her death had been unusual. Mrs. Wocott went immediately to North Port and set to work quietly to un- ravel the mystery. As the result of her investigations Pepoon was arrest ed on charge of murder in the first degree and similar indictment was returned against Ray Wilcox, who is believed to have furnished the strych. Mine or other poison which caused Mrs. Pepoon s death.
 Wilcox, who is an eX.cOnvict, left the town shortly after Mrs. Pepoon s death and so far the authorities have been unable to locate him. The day of her death Mrs. PepOon is said to have been indsposed, but toward night felt better While entertaining friends during the evening she was given a dose of medicine and a few minutes later, it is stated, she died of cOnvul- sons. A few weeks before her death she had taken out life insurance pol icy for $l,00O. This, together with Pepoon s infatuation for another wo- man whom he married three months af- ter his wife's death, are believed to have furnished the motives for the al legged desire of the husband to get rid of his wife.
