PENlTENT BRIBE-ThKERS

Reports from AJams county, O,
show that the bribery invcstiga ion
has become more like religious
revival than a Iiicial proceeding.
Instead of waiting to be indicted,
or even accus,d d. the penitent
brIbc takers are ere. L:ng tkl
court almost beyond its capacity
TO deal with them.
On Tuesday the streets of West
Union were SO thronged with
offenders from the country that
the women of the churches felt
called up to serve them with coff ee
and sanwIches. A number of
particular cases attest the moral
impul ,c that animates the move
meat and urges to confession.
A woman 90 years If age, who of
course, had no vote to sell, went
before the Judge to confess that
she had sold the votes oil her
husband and son. An old man on
his death bed by his grandson, and
the grandson himself, who voted
this wear for the first time added
tie confession that he also had
sold his vote.
Slrh mental epidcmics are not
infrequcnt in religious experiences.
In fact, nearly all revivals are
based upon them, and the voices of
confessing sinners have been heard
by neary all pastors. But this is
the first recorded instance of a
poiticall panitencr visi ing a whole
community and prompting to con-
fess in court. Also it is the first
instance where offenders on the
way to court to confess their
crimes have been met with
refreshments by church societies.
Bonanza.

AN ADVOCATE OF HOG MEAT

The following from an exchange

Of more pork in this country:
mo man who live on meat was
ever known to lick his wife or ask
for divorce. Adam got into a
row right off, becaue he had no
hog meat. butter or black bass.
Napol con lost Waterloo because
the allied forces had bacon for
breakfast the morning of the fight.
The French had vegetable soup.
The south had to give in at APP
pomattoX because they had no hog
meat. No war can be successfully
waged without hog meat. Ameri-
cans are the most frisky people on
earth because they eat the most
hog meat. Ingalls, would have

The PREVARICATOR'S CLUB

In a little country village a
crowd of loafers around a store
got to talking about echoes and
jim Sanders said down where he
was born and raised there was an
echo, and he used to put it to a
peculiar use. He said that ev cry
night before he went to bed he
would put his head out of the
window ana say:
Jim Sanders. Seven o'cl ock !;
time to get up"
He would start that echo going
and next morning at 7 o'clck it
would get back and say i'm Sander
Seven o'clock; time to get up"
Deacon Witherspoon said he
didn't know much about echoes,
but he'd seen it rain about az hard
as anybody ever seen it rain.
Somebody said:
Deacon, how hard did you ever
seen il RAM"
well sir" said the deacon
"once upon a time, when | was at
home, we had an old cider barrel
laying out in the yard with both
ends out and the buEghole up and,
would you believe it, il rained so
hard into that bunghole that water
couldn't run out both euds fast
enough, and it swelled up and
busted"
We thought that was pretty good
for a deacon.
Reuben Henry said he'd never
seen il rain very hard, but he'd seen
some mighty cold weather. Some
body said:
"Rube, how cold did you ever
see il get?

FOUR RENO
STOCKMGN MURDERER

The bodies of Harry Cambron,
]. B. Laxague. Peter Eremouspe
and B. indiana. the four stockmen
who have been missing since the
18Th of January. were found Fri
day piled in heap. in Little High
Rock Canyon in the Northern part
of Washoe county. On the 10th
of January, they left Camp Denio
to investigate a report brought in
by Indiana that cate had been
killed by rustlers. On February
7th, sheepmen reported that
Indiana had not returned to camp.
Posses were then org ganized 20 look
for the four men.
A telegram from B. f. Cambron,
brother of one of the murdered
men, was received at Reno Satur-
day noon by H. G. Humphrey, a
friend and associate of Harry
Cambrcn. The telergam stated
that the bodies of the men were
found and that they we're in
fearful shape. Their clothes were
principally torn off and the bodies
were a in a heap. Two horses of
the murderers were on the ground
The horses of the men we're gone.
AS soon as the news was re-
ported to sheriff Ferreil, he got
busy. He called on the State police
for assistance and Superintendent
Donnelly and Sergean is Stone and
Newgard and Private Buck were
soon on the way from Carson to
Reno in an automobile. A special
train over the N. c. o. for Aturas
Was chartered and Sheriff Ferrell,
the state police, Coroner Davis and
County Physician Morrison left
Reno at $3.50 Satur day afternoon
for Alturas. California, the nearest
railroad point to the scene of the
crime.
The country in which the crime
was committed is said to be one of
the rough est sections of the
United States and the rendezvous
for desperate criminals. 1t is also
said to be the stamping ground of q
rowing band of thieving Modoc
Indians. Sheriff Ferrel and the
state police will do their utmost to
run down and capture the
murderers, but is doubtful If they
succeed.
The murdered men were all
highly respected citizens of Reno.
They were prominent members of
the Basque colony and all were
possessed of moderate fortunes.

BOLD ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY

Dave Wilson. a Carlin bartender,
tried to cut a piece out of the
plate glass window of Seymour
Jacobs store about 1:30 this
afternoon so that he could help
himself to Mr.. Ferstach's jewelry
displayed in the window. He made
bad mess of it and was landed in
Jail by Sheriff Harris.
Leslie Jones, Mr.. Fernstach and
Jay Henry were in the store at the
time. The two latter were talking
by the counter and Leslie was look
ing around. He happened to look
through the window and saw the
man at work. He told the other
two what he saw and they laughed
at him. He finally convinced them
he was not joking and all of them
stepped to the door and saw the
man. About that time the man
turned and began to walk away.
They stopped him and took him
into the store and sent for Sheriff
Harris. While waiting for the
sheriff, Wilson tried to get away,
but was thron down and held until
the oHicer came He threw away
the glass cutter he was using on
the window. but it was found. He
mad made several cuts on the
glass when discovered and would
soon have had out a piece large
enough to put his hand through
and rake OIt considerable valuable
jewelry.
Wilson was searched in the stor e
and $3.50 in money and several
cartridges were found on him. He
is about 80 or 40 years Of age and
weighs about l65 pounds.

She PLAYED THE GREEN

The attache of an European
embassy was very much attracted
by western girl of great beauty
and still greater wealth at a sum-
mer resort, and in order to interest
her deeply he fell into the habit
OF discoursing at length on his
family tree, telling her that
ancestry was of great vaue to
man.
The girl from the West had been
brought up in a section of the
country where every man was ac-
cepted for what he was, and not
because of what his ancestors Lad
been or done. She began to be
bored by the attaches lectures on
pedigree.

COST OF LIVING HAS GROWN

An interesting commentary on
the cost of living was furnished
recently by II. c. Murray, secretary
OF the graduate council of Prince
ton University. MIR. Murray has a
large part of the responsibility of
Eceding 900 students in the "com-
MONS" at Princeton. and he has
been deliving into the old records
OF the institution in order to get
the proper perspective of his
troubles. He has found resolu.
tiOn passed some tine before the
Revolutionary war raising tha price
per capita for boarding students
To a dollar a week. the previous
rate having been SO cents. Now,
although the college furnishes
Uoard at cost and huys all supplies
in tremendous quantities, at VIII de
sale prices. the minimum rate is
So. 80 a week.
Mr.. Murray says he has looked
up some Of the old menu cards
and cannot find any material
difference between the amount and
quality OF food furnished now and
in the anterevolution days. It's
something that affords really fair
comparison as to cost of food
supply.
Economists could delve into a
lot nf statistics concerning volume
of circulating money and other
data to explain the ratio. but the
hungry in vestigator will decline,
with considerable justification, to
consider the amount of coin he
carries around any reason why he
should pay more for a beefsteak
dinner than would a Princetonian
something more than century ago.
