The attempt On the part of the sup
porters of G. W. Buttz to liscre1it
Judge Cowan in the mil Of the
voters has provoked storm Of cri-
ticism among the great mass Of the
people of the district. The latest at
tempt at this sort OF thing was made
when Judge Cowan granted the appli-
cation of Jacob Spenst for writ of
habeas corpus. This case was explain
ed at length in the columns Of The
World one day this week, and to show
that we presented the bare facts to
our readers, the following article
clipped from the columns of the Lang
don Couricr-Democrat is herewith re-
produced. The article is a communi-
cation from most reputable firm of
Langdon attorneys and shows the
whole matter in its true light:
In last weeks issue of the Cavalier
County Republican, of date Sept. 9Th,
1872, there appears an unsigned article
entitled: "Kneeshaw and Burr Re-
versed,' in which both the law and
the facts involved are greatly misre-
presented, which aided by suggestion
and innuendo leaves it's readers, I'M
acquainted with the real facts, to
pass very unjust judgment upon the
court, the Hon. John F. Cowan, in
his granting a writ Of habeas corpus
On behalf Of Jacob Spenst.
In the first place the sensational
title given to the article in question,
viz: Kneeshaw md Burr Rversed"
is misnomer and bespeaks very linn
tied knowledge of the law of CHA
beas corpus' on the art of the per-
son by whom said article was inspired
The granting of denial of writ Of
habeas corpus by one Judge of the
district court is not in the legal sense
reversal of the order or Judgment
OF another court. Neither is, pro-
ceeding in habeas corpus subject of
appel in his and many other states,
nor is :here any great "legal tangle''

the water. A. H. Irvine, undertaken at
Linton, was notified and upon his ar.

Identification was quite positive by
reason Of the fact that the left limb

ANOTHER TRAGEDY MARKS TEX.
AS FUED-ONE OF PRINCIPLES
OF ELOPEMENT IS VICTIM

"
Beall Sneed, slayer of Captain A. s.
Boyce and principal in the Boyce-
Sneed fued, which has startled the
people of two nations by its tragic
incidents late Saturday shot and in
stantly killed Albert Boyce who eloped
with sneed's wife last January. The
killing took place N front of the Me-
thodist church here.
A beard Of several weeks growth
furnished a complete disguise and
those who saw the shooting thought
6need was hunter.
The shooting occurred on the prin-
cipal street of the city within two
blocks of the business district.
A man fho had just spoken to Boyce
turned at the report Of the gun and
saw Boyce drop to the walk. At the
same time sneed who appeared to he
a tramp, advanced to. the middle of
the street, working the magazine of an
automatic shotgun.
Heavy loads II buckshot took effect
in Boyce's right side and death must
have been practically instantaneous.
Newspapermen were not permitted to
see Sneed tonight and neither he OF
his attorney had any statement to
make.
When the warrant was read, Sneed
waived hearing and further action de-
ponds upon the grand jury, which con.
venes Monday.
Boyce was SO years of age and had
returned to Amarillo but few weeks
since to make his first visit here since
his elopement with Mrs. Sneed.
Immediately after the shooting
sneed walked to the Jail and surren
dered himself.
Third Tragedy in Fued.
The killing Of Boyce is the last ira.
glc incident in list of tragedies that
began last January. when Mrs. Lena
Sneed ran away from a sanatorium in
Fort Worth where she had been placed
by her husband for nervous and menta.
trouble.
Mrs. Sneed, in company with AL
Boyce, left Fort Worth and there was
a sensational chase after the couple nv
Beall Sneed across the United States
into Canada, where they were located
at Winnipeg by Minneapolis detec-
tives.
Sneed prevailed upon his wife to re-
turn to Texas. She came and on &C.
count of the letters which passed be-
tween Captain Boyce and his son and
the assistance alleged to have been
given young Boyce by his father, Beall
sneed shot Captain Boyce to death in
the lobby of the Metropolitan hotel in
Fort Worth. The shooting followed a
conference with Mrs. Lena Sneed and
her husband. There were numerous
witnesses to the shooting. This was
the first tragedy in the series.
Sneed's Father Slain.
Following closely on the trial of
sneed for the murder of Captain Boyce
in which the jury disagreed, came the
news Of the tragic death Of Beall
sneed's father, who was murdered by
an insane tenant in the postoffice at
Georgetown. The demented farmer,
who was possessed of the idea that
Mr.. sneed had done him an injustice
regarding his farm land, committed
suicide.
Since the trial the movement Of all
the principals in the case have been
kept as secret as possible to avoid un-
necessary notoriety. It was generally
supposed that Albert Boyce was still
in Canada.

ODDIE'S ADMIRATION SOCIETY

Governor Oddie has won his
fight against Warden Baker. A
little over year ago our republi-
can governor and our democratic
attorney general made a nasty
political combination and put a
republican warden. the brother of
the attorney general, into the
wardenShip of the prison. For a
time everything was lovely. 1t
was a sort of mutual admiration
society for over a year. Then
something gave way and the COVER
nor decided that the unholy CON-
bination must he broken up. He
asked for the warden's resignation,
but the warden knew a good thing
and refused to give up his job.
The governor then preferred
fiimsy charges that he could not, or
at least did not, sustain before a
board composed of himself, the
warden's brother and George Brod-
igan. secretary of state. the onlv
disinterested member.
Brodigan refused to make a
combination with the governor
that would place another repnbli-
can in Bakers shoes. The COVER
nor in order to GUST Baker had to
como to Brodigan's terms and vote
for democrat. This was doubt
less bitter medicine for OddIe to
take hui his hatred of Baker made
the medicine more palatahle.
The first year of Governor
Oddie's administration contained
but little else than Norcross and
Baker The dope that filled some
of the state papers about those
men was extremely nauseatinE
In fact, it would almost make The
ordinary man throw up the soles
of his boots. Now, that one
member of the mutual admiration
society has been taken from the
public trough. Governor Oddie
would improve matters still more
if he would cut of the head of his
publicity commissioner.

FRUITS THAT DEFY
COOLEST WEATHER

AS conditions in Elko county are
practically the same ~ those in
Humboldt county, We call the
following article from the Hum
.boldt Star to the attention Of our
rNnchers and fruit growers:
If fruit trees could Withstand
the killing frosts which come every
spring in nothern Nevada fruit
raising would become 4 great in
dustry in this secti,n. AS it is
now, there are only 4 few
localities. usually in canyons or at
the mouth Of canyons, where the
drauEht of air prevents formation
Of frost where q fruit crop is a
certainty every year.
Paradise valley and Uniopville are
examples of this kind. Now comes
word from Washington that Frank
N. Never. an explorer for the
Department of Agriculture, after
spending two years and a half
abroad, has discovered fruits,
plants and grasses which will stand
cold equal to that of the North
west of the United States. Most
of Mr.. Meyers time was spent in
Russia, Siberia, and Central Asia.
He. found q Siberian bush cherry
which will live in temperature
nearly 40 degrees below zero and
among other fruits he came acros
an apricot, which temperature of
80 below will not kill. Both of
these fruits, seeds and cuttings of
which were sent to this country,
will prove of value, experts b lieve
to farmers in Minnesota. the
Dakotas. Montana and other cold
northwest States. Alfalfa that
will endure much cold and various
KINDS or grain also were found by
the explorer.
Perhaps it may be found that
SEINE of this fruit will do we'll in
tie hills and high attitudes Of
Nevada. In such event the pines
and ceders in PAGES favorable
for moisture could he replaced
With orchards, which in addition
to producing fruit would serve al
conserver of snow during the
winter and spring. 81
1t is worth Nevada's while tc
make experiments in this line anG
especially is the matter worth
investigating by Humboldt county
as soon as some of the fruit trees
can he secured.

Did you ever take a jaunt up

full little villaEe:? You can tell
more about the inhabitants Of q
town by a trip through the back
alley then many persons imagine.
Some of the back yards are as neat
as pins, while others would put
an old brush fence hog lot to
shame. We are glad to say that
the lattre are few and far be-
tween. Back yards reflect the
character of the owners. Some
times the front yard will be hub.
bling over with flower beds and
posies and the back yard will be
chiefly slop barrels, scrap iron
and brick bats. You can guess
what kind of people live there.
Sometimes both front and back
yards correspond and are wrecks
alike. You can easily place the
owners. Sometimes both font
and back show the utmost care and
attention and it is hard to tell
VIII oh rs the cleaner. You have
no trouble in classifying the people
who live here. If either the front
or back yard must be neglected,
