Tonight; Blind Man Is PIac-
ed On the Witness
Stand Today.

The case against Jesse Snipes is
attracting considerable attention to
the court house today. The state
has introduced testimony from five
or six witnesses, and several more
are yet uncalled.
This afternoon William Surrey, a
well known citizen of Collbran who
had been called by the state, was ex-
cused by the court at the request of
Attorney Samuel G. McMullin, who
declared the witness to be intoxicat-
ed
William McCurry. born blind,
heard the alteration and the fight
in which Edward Henderson was
shot. and his testimony was one of
the features of the case today. Al
though sightless. his story of the oc-
currence was remarkably vivid and
graphic.
The defense has large number of
witnesses to call, and 1t may be
Tuesday before the case goes to the
jury.
All the jurors were empanelled
last evening, the state beginning its
case early this morning.

Tommy Ryan, the perpetual wrest-
Ter from Colorado Springs, who is
after Frank Du Cray's title since
Duke went into retirement with an
injured knee, sent telegram to Du
Cray today and the champion re-
ceived the message this morning,
asking for match at once.
Du Cray will negotiate to pit
Tommy against Hugh Steel in this
city within a short time and thinks
the local boy has a good chance of
taking a handicap match from Ryan.
providing the Springs Scot will
agree to wrestle with the coming To-
cal lad, who is lettering his shape,
ability and talents every day. Steel
is willing to take on the Scotchman
for a handicap go, two falls in so
minutes or some other arrangement.
Tommy Ryan weighs about lS5
pounds and Steel 10 or thereabouts.
Local wrestling admirers will be
very keen for the bout if it is staged
here, and due to Ryan's never hav-
ing been here and his very well
known class, the match should draw.

Miss Click Retires.
1t is with sincere regret that The
Sentinel announces this afternoon the
retirement from the contest of Miss
Elizabeth Click, of the Appleton
neighborhood, who all along has been
one of the leading and one of the
strongest contestants Her retirement
is involuntary. Some one who was
engaging in very unjustifiable tactics
made the complaint that owing to the
fact Miss Click is. substitute rural
route mail carrier, under the civil
service regulations she was not per-
mitted to engage in subscription
contest Miss Click was not to any
extent using her position to assist
herself in her race, and she was only
on duty occasionally. The regula-
ton referred to would not in itself
directly affect Miss Click; but, in
the face of this unfair complaint and
unjust criticism made by someone,
the young lady thought it best to
retire.
1t was an unfair advantage TO TAKE
of the young lady. and whoever was
instrumental in starting the COM
plaint deserves condemnation, and
The Sentinel trusts will lose instead
of profit by the action.
No more deserving and no more
worthy young lady has entered the
contest than Miss Elizabeth Click.
Ii can be said of her that at no time
since the contest started has she
made the slightest complaint against
apy of the other young ladies' She
accepted rules and regulations OF the

perfect confidence in fair dealing on
