JOHNSON in TROUBLE
over GIBSON trial

William Webster appeared before
Justice Barnes last evening and swore
to a complaint charging o. B. johnson
with assault and battery, alleged to
have been committed in the Northern
saloon. johnson was allowed to go Oh
his own recognizance, to re-appear for
trial at 2 O'Clock this afternoon.
When the matter was brought up today
District Attorney Tilden announced
that he desired to take personal charge
of the prosecution, but was prevented
by the press~o OF other business. 1t was
finally agreed that the case Would be
heard at a time convenient to the
states officer. j. G. Thompson APP
peared for the defendant.
1t is alleged that the trouble between
the two men was caused by remarks
made by Webster regarding the con-
duet of a relative of Johnson's who
was a member of the Gibson jury.
Webster was foreman of that jury.

The jury in the George Gibson ase,
failing to agree after celebrating %
hours, was discharged by Judge Somers
at 9 O'Clock this afternoon. Almost
from the first ballot the jury stood II
to 2, the majority voting for a verdict
of assault with a deadly weapon and
the minority for a simple assault, the
one crime being d felony, punishable
with Imprisonment in the state prison
for not more than two years and a fine
of not to exceed $4,000; the other by
a county Jail sentence of not more than
six months.
and VIM. Fields stood to the last for
simple assault, while the following VOC
ed for the heavier verdict: Sam Dick
ey, William Webster, J. NcNulty, Pere
Larsen, M. l.. Kelley; Joseph Julian,
Alec Sturgeon, l.. Z. Bannlster, Martin
Hass and j. H. White. William Web
ster was foreman of the jury.
Before the discharge of the jury
both Judge Somers and District Atty.
Springmeyer took occasion to express
surprise at the inability of the jury II
agree in a case so simple, the latter
limiting at a prosecution for perjury.
"This is indeed a remarkable state of

The district attorney made but br;s,
statements regarding the Leonard an,

Charles A. Gehrman, also an official os

AS to the Hickey eases, District Al.

motion to dismiss, made quite a lengthy
statement in which he said that the
cases in Esmeralda county were sinh.

because of the action of the supreme
court, and that a conviction, under
such a condition of affairs, could not be
hoped for here. He also stated that to
take up and prosecute the cases the
county would be called upon to face
very heavy expense. He expressed re.
greet that the supreme court had so
ruled as to make 1t impossible to hope,
under the law, for successful results in
the prosecution of Hickey.

the jury, stated that to him it was al
most uncomfortable how a jury could
not agree after being out for over %
hours and celebrating over a case so
simple and made up of the testimony
of so few witnesses.
Assistant District Attorney Spring
meyer insisted that the case be set
down for ~re-trial on next Monday, and
an order was so made by Judge Somers.
A special venire of fifty talesmen was
drawn this afternoon by Judge Somers
and County Clerk Hamilton for service
on the second trial.

GREAT HORSES HAVE
 THEIR PEcUl|AR|T|ES

Great horses, like great men. have the.r peculiarities and have to be humored in their fads.
 Dan Patch, the greatest of harness horses, is no exception to this rule The peerless pacer has several fan cies that Hersey and the caretakers know and carefully heed. Among the most unusual of these is the horses love for dogs.
 The naughty Dan. who has lowered the colors of the proudest pacers of the world, and who accepts the hom- age of multitudes. is meek and gently thoughtful of the canine pet that is lucky enough to have won his fla yor.
 It is the little dog that Dan cares most for. and he is never more con tent than With his favorite silver Yorkshire terrior. The favorite is known as Patch" and is an exceed. ingly promising youngster, who seems to appreciate the honor being con ferred on him. He is less than two years old and was selected for royal favors last season, since when great friendship has sprung up between the worlds champion and the little mas cot
 Dan Patch is not the only horse to have a mascot. Minor Heir, next in rank to Dan on the Savage farm. is accorded that privilege. He has chos- en as his favorate a remarkably well bred and good looking Boston ter riOr. This favored female is very jealous of the attentions of Minor Heir and is continually on guard to make it unplasant for strangers who venture too near her favorite's quar- ters.
 Minor Heir accepts the blandish- ments of the Boston terrier with pleasant unconcern, but he is always careful not to move when it might prove dangerous for the "Heiress." as this little mascot is called.
 Both of these pets are the constant travelling companions of the two world famous horses on their exhibit ion tours. They will visit and be part of the reception committee when Dan Patch and Minor Heir visit Phoenix. It is hoped that the York shire and Boston terriers do not al low themselves to be drawn into any pitched battles over the merits of their respective affinities. even if Minor Heir does lower a worlds rec ord or two.

BON| PERSISTS
 AFTER DIVORCE

PARIS. oct. 29.-Some months ago Count Boni de Castellane visited Rome with the view of obtaining the religious annulment of his marriage 10 Anna Gould, now the Princess de :Sagan. There were many rumors afioat at that time that Count Boni intended to remarry, which were true. But 1t was all to no purpose, as the evidence submitted in Rome was not of a nature to warrant church di- yorce.
 Now, however, through a perfectly reliable source comes the news that Count Boni has reopened his case before the papal court and that he in tends to marry as soon as he is free. This time the gossips are pricking up their ears, for 1t appears that Boni has been keeping his imagination working overtime and he has man. aged to trump up some very good evidence. Indeed, this evidence is so simple that every one is wondering why neither he nor his lawyer did not think of 1t before.
 The Catholic church decrees that it's members must marry in their own parish. or, failing this, have present priest from their own parish official ly appointed to be Teseat at the ceremony Now this form was not observed at the marriage between Anna Gould and Count Boni. so he is confident the court at Rome will be obliged to set him free at last. And now comes the question. Who is the lady in the case. For, of course there is bound to be a lady in the case, and also she is sure to
 be an American, for American heir esses run in Count Boni's family His cousin, the Duke of Dino. mar. ried one; his cousin, the Duke de Vaiencay, married another; his cous
 in, Duke de Chaulnes. married third ito say nothing of his brother Jean who has an American wife, and Sa gan, also cousin, who married Anna
 Gould. So this is why the counts | friends think it his fate to fall ir
 line and also make an American heir
 ess his bride. I hope I am not toe
 indiscreet in saying that this is jus
 what Boni means to do. and despite
 the formal denials last spring.
