for plaintiff stockholders has been
rendered by Judge Calkins in the
Josephine circuit court in the cele-
brated case of the Golden Drift Min
ing Company VS.. c. w. Ament, the
original promoter OF the enterprise.
This is a suit which has been pending
since 1903, and is familiarly known
as the "Ament dam" litigation.
Originally a mining scheme, 1t
later developed into a plan involving
irrigation features, as we'll as afford
ing water for mining purposes. The
decision practically compels Ament
to account for moneys received in be-
half of the mining corporation. The
Golden Drift Mining Company was
originally capitalized at $1,000, 600,
of which s150,OOO has been expended
on the dam project.

RELEASE OF YOUNG
WALLACE HALTS TRIAL

When Chief McLane went to the
county jail this morning to get Ted
Wallace, the states witness in the
liquor cases, he found his man gone,
Wallace having been liberated the
night before by the sheriff on the
order OF the justice of the peace.
This fact brought the trial of Dan
Hearn to standstill in police court
today pending the return of young
Wallace on a subpoena now out.
Wallace's father appeared on the
scene yesterday, and finding his son
in jail, swore before the justice that
the boy was but 16 years of age in
stead of IS. This brought the case
within the jurisdiction of the juv-
emile court and the Justice being out
Of 1t consequently ordered the boys
release.
While Wallace senior had his fight
ing clothes on, he swore out war
rant for the arrest of Gideon Ross
for aiding in the delinquency Of his
son. Ross was seen Sunday at Selma
and no doubt before long will be
taken into tow by the sheriff.

Twelve Bows Drowned.

Twelve boys, and possibly more, all
Of them small lads from eight to
twelve years of age, and the children
mostly of poor working people, lost
their lives in the Merrimac river at
Lawrence, Mass, when runway lead
ing from the river bank to municipal
bathhouse collapsed under the com,
bined weight of about fifty youngsters
who eagerly crowded upon 1t, all anx,
ious to be the first to get undressed
and into the cooling stream.
When the runway crashed down into
the stream a fearful scene followed.
The mass of humanity struggled,
fought and screamed desperately for
their lives. They trampled each other
down into the mud in their struggle to
keep above the surface.
Children in their fright grasped each
other by the throats and went down
fighting each other, locked in a death
grip, while others kept their heads
and managed to scramble to the shore
where they were helped out by other
boys, who had been unable to crowd
upon the runway before it went tc
pieces, or by men who came hurryine

tending cries.

JEALOUS MAN KILLS
WIFE AND HIMSELF
Tale Of Fortune Teller Upset
His Mind.

Wilson Baker, prosperous farmer
residing one mile and a half west of
Pittsville, Md, killed his young wife
with a shotgun and then walked out
into the field hundred yards from his
home and ended his life with the same
gun.
Baker, it is said, had been drinking
heavily since the strawberry season
and had several times quarreled with
his wife, occasioned by jealousy. The
wife went about getting breakfast, and
while at this work the husband enter
ed the kitchen with a double-barreled
shotgun and without warning shot his
wife down. She died almost instantly.
After chasing his four boys to shell,
ter in a :ad rush to kill them, the
man ran t. a nearby field and commit
ted suicide with the same weapon.
Bakers ten-year-old son Frank stood
at his side when he killed his wife.
The child thought it was joke until
his mother fell to the floor dead. His
shrieks as he fed warned his brothers
of their danger and all found safety
in the barn.
The murderer is about sixty-five
years old and the woman he killed
was his second wife. For some time
Baker had been jealous of his wife,
without foundation the neighbors say.
He was superstitious and had consul
ed a gypsy fortune teller who TOLD
him that a man who frequently passed
the house would take his wife away
from him. This is believed to hay
made him temporarily insane.
