a made many sacrifices to send
that their baby boy" for whom they
him here to complete his education,
had fallen among bad companions.
They dispatched the elder brother to
bring the boy home. When Benja-
min reached here, counsel said, he
got on a spree and had guilty knowl-
edge Of the scheme in which he found
the boys engaged.
He read many letters from promi-
nent people Of South Carolina testify
ing to the previous good character Of
the Knots.
Judge John G. Capers, Of South
Carolina, former Commissioners of In
ternal Revenue. made an appeal for
clemency, on behalf Of the parents
OF the Knots boys. Attorney Camp
bell Darlington made a strong plea
for mercy, especially extolling the
work Of Justice Wright in applying
to proper cases the provisions of the
probation law. He asked that the
defendants be given another chance.
Justice Wright's Remarks.
Rosenthal was trapped and photo
graphed In the apartment with the
Bennett woman. He was tied in a
chair and forced at the point Of a
pistol by the young Knots and Arm
strong to sign a check for $4,000.
Justice Wright declared that viola
tons of public decency in the district
must be severely punished and that
he had no sympathy with pleas for
mercy In behalf Of the men who had
wilfully plotted the trapping of Ro-
senthal for money, whatever their
standing or their influence might be.
He said that the only one of the de-
PENDANTS he was inclined to sympa-
thize with was the Bennett woman,
whose plight he believed to be due to
the men who had used her in their
scheme, and whose lot was bad
enough anyhow.
Congressman A.. F.. Lever, Of South
Carolina, who had been acquainted
with the Knots family, testified to
the good reputation Of Benjamin
Knots In his native State.
A pathetic incident of the trial was
the testimony Of the aged father Of
the Knots brothers In their behalf.
He declared that their character had
been good.
The Bennett woman was the only
one of the defendants who seemed to
be affected by the proceedings. The
case Is n OF he most sensational in
the recent annals of crime in the
Capital City.

recorded
Yesterday morning was ushered in
with a heavy fall of rain, and for a
time the indications were that the
snow would soon disappear, but before
night the storm had turned into sleet
and snow. During the night the mer-
curry took tumble, and this morning
the thermometer registered tempera-
ture close to the zero mark. By stock
men this is said to be the hardest day
of the year on sheep and cattle that are
away from hay, as the browse is COW

their mouths become sore, when they
will be unable to eat at all and must
soon perish unless fed hay.

cold weather, although work under way

From the bottom of the main shaft

has been going on fo- the past week.
Yesterday two-foot vein of ore was
struck, which is expected to net better
than 800 per ton. 1t carries about
two ounces of gold, the balance silver.
Mr.. Blood reports that he is at work
re re-timbering the shaft on the lease he
recently purchased from Bulls & Cole,
which has been sunk to depth of so
feet.
Another Strike on Ramolia.
Yesterday, while at work sinking the
shaft on the Ramolia No. l, which has
now reached depth of 80 feet, the last
round of shots fred by the miners dis
placed some nine or ten sacks of ore.
While no assays have been made of the
rock as yet, it is the judgment of Supt.
Barlow and other mining men who in
spected the rock that it is the richest
yet taken from the shaft. This means
that it will GO better than $l00, as $40
ore was taken from the shaft at a
depth of less than 20 feet.

PROMINENT MINING PRO
MOTER ARRESTED AT RENO

Upon complaint for perjury sworn
10 by j. A Hash, constable of Battle
Mountain, before justice of the
peace, returnable to Battle Mountain,
NJ. c. Scully, mining operator for
merly of Goldfeld, but now of kim
herly, was arrested last night as he
was coming out of local theatre by
Constable Hash and Chief of Police A.,
A. Burke, of this city.
The prisoner was Immediately taken
to the station, where it was learned
that No had just pulled out. An
automobile was obtained and the Bat
tie Mountain constable with Scully un-
der arrest was whirled at break neck
speed to Sparks, whre the train was
waiting for the Overland to pass.
The warrant was made returnable
before Justice of the Peace f. T..
George at Battle Mountain, in Lander
county.
1t is believed that the perjury com
plant grew out of suit at law
brought by r. b. Respess against NJ
c. Scully in Austin, Lander county
Judge Breen presiding. This suit was
on d partnership deal affecting the
Kimberly properties in which re
ceiver for Mr. Scully was appointed
early in November.
Later, in December, last year, Mr..
Scully made motion to remove the
receiver and affidavits from Scully and
others were presented to the court.
1t appears that the time for which
an option was to run was one or tne
main feautres of the case and 1T is
upon the question of swearing as to
the length of time this option was to
run that the perjury complaint Is
probably based.-Journal.

NEW FLYING MACHINE
INTRODUCED AT SPOKANE

\OpcCldl 70 thc OllVcE Ot6to.J
SPOKANE, Wash, Jan 21.-To Spo-
kane men will go the credit of origin
chine men who have seen the models
tion according to experiments and the
forecasts made by many flying ma
chir,e men who have seen the models
at work here.
The airship is known az the Coyne
Helicopter and it is the invention Of
DR.. w. E. s. Coyne and George Fos-
ter, both of Spokane. The declared
possibilities of the machine are such as
to startle those who are not familiar
with the plans.
Instead of little six-cylinder en-
gine the Helicopter will be equipped
with four 100 horsepower motors to
work the planes above the machine,
which rotate at rapid rate and give
the airship lifting power of $4,000
pounds. An additional motor of great
power is installed to run the propeller
which drives the ship ahead.
The ear is built on the idea Of q
plum bob. It cannot "turn turtle, !"

designed in such a manner as to enable
quires no flying start, but once the
machinery is set in motion it can rise

The two sets of planes are miniature
biplanes and the upper and lower ro-
tate in opposite directions. They are
installed at an angle and the speedy
rotation gives it the tremendous lift
ing power. 1t is estimated the car will
have a speed of from rs to $50 miles

OGDEN BANDITS ARE
ARRAIGNED IN COURT

William Lewis and Thomas O'Dell,
the men held for the Overland Limited
robbery, were formally arraigned in
the municipal court at Ogden Tuesday
morning, the charge being murder in
the first degree. preliminary ex-
animation at the earliest possible time
was asked for by the counsel for the
defendants and they were remanded to
the custody of the sheriff.
Pete Murphy and Harry Shafer, COM
panions of Lewis and O'Dell, who were
arrested at the same time, were placed
under bonds at $1,000 each to appear
as witnesses in the case.
The four men listened to the reading
of the complaints with apparent indif-
ference. The complaints charged
O'Dell with having held the gun which
shot down William Davis, the colored
porter, on the night of the holdup,
January 2, while Lewis is charged with
aiding and abetting the crime.
Chief of Police Thomas Browning re-
ceived a dispatch from Sheriff Butler
of Ely, Nevada, telling him to hold
the suspects by all means, and that a
man would arrive in Ogden to identify
them as the men who held up an Ely
gambling house two months ago, shoot
ing several of their victims and get
ting away with more than $1,000,
most of which was in silver.
The man who is expected to ar'l9e is
ranchman whom the holdups engaged
to transport their plunder across the
mountains from the scene of their
crime. The large amount of silver, the
robbers claimed. was to be used in pay
ing off a mine crew The teamster is
familiar with the faces of both the rob
bers and shortly after the robbery he
visited Ogden with Ely detectives,
