I.W. MARLEY AND
 SONS CONVICTED
Sentenced to From One to Ten Years. Defendants Attor- neys Appeal to the Su-
 preme Court of State

1u Oul IdSl NOOA - ISSuC WN gave but meagre information re- gardipg one of the hardest con tested trials that has ever been brought up in the courts of Ma vajo County: one of vital inter est to one of our best families ot Winslow and Navajo County, and to every stockman i'll this , section of the country.
 It has been the good fortune of the Editor of this paper. with permission of the Court, to be present and hear most of the tes- time ony offered by witnesses of prosecution and defense, and from the evidence presented we could see where there was noth- ing in favor of one party or the other.
 As stated i'll issues of March, 1911. all of the hides tbat were put in soak at the Cresswell cor ral, no evidence was introduced to show that the Marleys were guilty of any infraction of the law regarding the v hides pro- duced.
 One of the main witnesses for the prosecution, Rube Neil of Flagstaff. was -cross-examined for the period of ten solid hours. The case commenced early Mon ing. with witnesses being exam ined all through the week. and was finally given to the jury on Saturday afternoon, and a yer dict of guilty rendered at mid night of that day.
 Hon E. $. Clark of Prescott, well known to Winslow people and Navajo county throughout, one of the counsel tor the prose cut1on in behalf of Navajo coun- ty and the Live Stock Associa- ton of Arizona, opened the ar gument to the jury. Mir. Clark's argument was short but decisive To make matters clear Mir Clark and Mr. Reese M. Ling, now of Phoexix, formerly of Prescott, were assistant coun- sels to County Attorney J. E Crosby in the prosecution of the Marleys.
 On the other hand, the contest was equally balanced by an equal amount of talent. Senator H. F. Ashurst, J. E. Jones of Flagstaff, and Judge g. F. Adams of Albuquerque, ill de tense of the Marleys.
 As above stated, after the brief argument of Mir. Clark, Hon. Henry F. Ashurst, Senator of our new state, made his plea to the jury on behalt of the defen dants.+A more nasterly appeal for justice and at the same time the protection of an Arizona citizen, could not be delivered by mortal man. and the wonder ment of those Arizona citizens who heard him but a brief year ago and put faith in him that elevated him to the highest po- sition of trust that the citizens of Arizona could bestow, it Is a source of wonderment why 1t is so strongly appealed to them, and had no effect upon the 12 men ill the Jury box From the evidence presented Hon. Mir. Ashurst plainly stated that 1t was not money alone that brought him into the de- fense of the Marleys. He plainly stated to the jury that at that time confronting them he had money in his pocket paid him by the Marleys. He also stated that hls experience on the range as d cowboy to which many of our local men can testify, has brought trials and tribulations

about II o'clock that evening. The court room was taxed to it's full capacity, among tie spectators being a large number women and children. Benches and chairs were brought from various rooms in the court house to seat the large audience, whol painfully waited to hear the final judgment in the case.
 News comes to this office to. day regarding the verdict in which 1t was stated that the jury although rendering a yer dict of guilty" ill regard to J. w. Marley and his three sons, recommend the clenency of the court in the case of the young. est son Dee.
 Tie final judgment rendered by the District Judge Sidney Sapp was one from one to ten years in the State Penetentiary at Florence, whereupon counsel for the defend ants immediately appealed for new trial, being denied that they appealed for d rehearing before the Supreme Court of the State.

Scottish Dish

The huokleberry. or whortleberry,
or bilberry, has always been we'll
known. The Scots eat them with
milk, as we do, but they also make a
jelly out Of them, which is favored
with whisky.
Cranberries can be found all over
the world where there. is marshy land,
but those of the United States are
considered the best and are exported
in great numbers to Europe.
The mulberry was cultivated by the
ancients and has played more i'm.
portant part in literature than any
other berry It is mentioned several
times In the Bible. while Ovid speaks
of it in his famous tale Of "Pyramus
and Thisbe'
The mulberry was brought from
Persia and the Romans much pre-
ferred it to any other fruit. II did not
reach England until 154s. and the
trees planted at Sion House during
the same year are still alive. James
|. of England was exceedingly fond of
the berry and caused large quantities
OF the bushes to be planted in all the
grounds of the royal palaces.

YOUNG NAN BaEATHEc AGAIN
rsetful Candidate sursIy Proved Him
self Resoureeful IN an
Emergency.

In the midst OF his campaign fol
congress Stephen G. Porter OF Pitts
burg, went to big town hall, says the
Washington correspondent OF the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. Before the
affair was over he was called on for
an impromptu exhibition OF Quick.wit.
tedness that stamped him as a real
major league tactician.
A young man whom he knew only
slightly walked up to Porter and said:
mir. Porter, let me introduce you to
my wife"
But the moment the man had made
the proposition he seemed TO think OF
something. began to look pale. and
became as Ill at ease as bigamist.
While Porter was shaking hands
with the wife. the man was standing
behind her making frantic signs that
Porter could not interpret, but
he knew he must be tactful and nom
committal.
80 you're the Mr.. Porter that's run
ming for congress. are youf" inquired
the young woman.
yes" admitted Porter.
And don't you fnd It exceedingly
trying having to be up all night SO
often?"
up at night! oh. ye-eh, yes! In
dssd 1t 10. Should hay so. You have
no Idea how trying 1t is," replied Por-
ter, with diplomacy, but wondering
where she got her up-All-nlght notion.
The young husband was still xaaking
queer signs. though he looked some
what relieved.
"And what does your wife think
about your being out all night three
or four times week." the woman
pursued.
Madam" replied Porter, solemnly.
a woman who has the confidence In
her husband that woman should have
doesn't think anything at all when her
is out all night"
And the young man looked as II he
earnestly desired to shout.
1t seemed that the man had been
telling at home how he was helping
Porter In his campaign.

4coIor Hearing

Some persons associate particular
colors with particular sounds. In a
recent presentation of this subject to
the French Academy of Sciences II
was pointed out that there are two
forms Of this phenomenon.
In one case the person has a sensa.
tion as II a transparent colored film,
like rainbow, appeared before his
eyes when certain vowel or musical
sounds strike his ears. In the other
case letters or written words. repre-
senting the sounds heard, appear in
colored tints. The tints are very def
mite and Characteristic and do not
vary with lapse OF time. but two per.
sons seldom associate the same col.
ors with the same sounds.

ENDORSEMENT
OF MAXEY

What the Lawyers Of His Home Town
Think Of N. 3. Maxey, Democratic
Candidate For Justice Of Supreme
Court
Muskogee, Okla, March q, 1911.
To the Honorable John B. Turner,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of Oklahoma, and the Honorable
Associate Justices
We, the undersigned members OF the
Muskogee Bar an dofficials of Musko-
gee County, recognizing the import
ance of the great amount of litigation
which has arisen from that part of
Oklahoma formerly the Greek Nation
an dthe difficulty connected with said
litigation on account Of the peculiar
local conditions, consider it extreme
ly important that there should be ap-
pointed upon the Supreme Court Com
mission, provided for by recent act OF
the legislature, some lawyer familiar
with conditions In the Creek Nation
and competent to advise and give in
formation relative to the growth and
development of the laws affecting
property in that part Of the State.
In looking over the ground for an
available candidate for this position,
we have centered upon NJ BMaxey,
Esq, of this Bar, and have determined
to request the Court to appoint him
as one Of the Commissioners. Wei
have known Mr.. Maxey for number
of years, and know him to be a lawyer
OF ability, thoroughly familiar with not |
only the local questions, which would |
arise from this section OF the State, |
but with such matters as would come
before the Supreme Court generally.
We have complete confidence in his
ability. and have induced him to apply
for the appointment.
He is already known to the mem
bers of the Court, and 1t is not neces-
sary for us to express ourselves fur
ther as to his ability. 1t will be sim
cerely appreciated by all of us il he
can be appointed to the position he
seeks, and we recommend the appoint
ment in full confidence that the results
will justify the wisdom of
the selection.
