MRS. CARMAN
OUT ON BOND
ANOTHER TRIAL DEPENDS ON
RESULT OF SMITHS INVESTI-
CATION OF REPORT

Mineola, l.. l., Oct. 2S--Whether
Mrs. Carman will be tried again on
the charge of numbering Mrs. Louise
Bailey, in view of the disagreement,
Sunday, of the jury in her first trial,
is an unsettled question, District At
torney Smith said today.
It is, believed certain however that
the district attorney will move for a
new trial if he determines positively
that there was an agreement made
before the case closed, among certain
jurors, to acquit Mrs. Carman who is
now out on bond. His investigation
of this report he is continuing.

l would have no sense, for I could not
but help seeing the injustice Of this
act. I paid my good hard cash out Of
my meagre earnings, for I felt it my
duty to put our platform before the
people for I sincerely believe that it
will help them, and I thought l was
at least entitled to a fair heading the
same as the rest of the candidates.
But that is all right. The Devils Lake
Journal will learn the truth some day
in spite Of all obstacles. How do the
Socialist brethren like such treatment
at the hands Of a local newspaper.

SENATOR BROWN
MAKES OBJECTION

Does the Devils Lake Journal want
fair play? In publishing the platform
Of the Socialist party the Journal
seems to take great pains in placing it
in an as obscure position as possible,
with as small a heading as possible.
The Journal seems to fear Socialist
philosophy, as much as do the rest OF
the p%lutocrats. Oh We editor, We are
likened to the ostrich, who puts his
head in a hole and thinks he is hid,
Yes, I feel some offense. If l didn't

Cyrus M. Thomas was born Sep.
TENDER 6, 1851, in Bates county, Mo-,
and died August 6, 1914, in his sixty.
third year.
He had for over a year been in fail.
ing health, yet his condition was moi
thought dangerous until a short time
before his death. When his friends
realized the end was near they i'm
mediately called the children in, but
when two of the daughters, Mrs. Jen-
ME Booth and Mrs. Lucy Wisherd,
arrived his soul had taken its flight
In 1871 he was united in marriage
to Miss Margaret Stamper who re-
mains to mourn his departure. For
nearly 43 years they lived in loving
companionship and through the year
of suffering and at last the death Of
her companion she faithfully and
tenderly cared for him till the Lord
said: 1T is enough, come up higher
for I have need of him." To this
union were born three sons, and five
daughters: L. g., Archie and Char
ley; Mrs. Ida Clancy, Mrs. Lucy
Wisherd, Mrs Jennie Booth, Mrs.
Bertha Williams and Florence, all of
whom survive and live near the home
place except Florence, who. died
when little girl. The death occurred
at the home Of Mrs. Bertha Williams
near the place where he had lived
with his family good many years.
On account Of being unable to farm
he had left the home place to his
youngest son, Charlie, and with his
faithful wife had, during the last
winter months, takenNa trip to Okla
homa, New Mexico and Texas with
the hopes Of regaining his health,
which seemed very much improved,

the surprise Of the family and his
many friends.

interment. The esteem by which he
was held was shown by the large
concourse Of friends that followed
the remains to its last resting place.
In his very last moments he ex-
pressed a desire to talk to his chill
dren ere he passed away, could he
have been able to do so, no doubt
he would have admonished them to
live near the Savior which he had
loved for so many years that they
might meet him in that home where
the circle will not be broken and
where parting will be no more. The
loved ones have the heartfelt SYM
pathy of the entire community. -

On reports from Kansas bankers
that they feared an order from w. II.
Osborne, internal revenue commission
er. which would list municipal bonds
for taxation under the federal income
tax, State Treasurer Earl Akers and
several banks today sent kilograms to
Washington urging that the order be
withheld. Such an order, II made,
would impair Kansas municipal secur-
tiles which are now exempt from state
taxation and have been freely handled
by Kansas banks and bankers.
Several Topeka bankers who are
familiar with the new income tax law.
however, declare that the new federal
act specifically exempts municipal
bonds and securities. They do not
anticipate that the government will
attempt to place these securities under
the provisions Of the income tax law.
.~The law provides specifically that
municipal bonds shall be exempt from
the provisions Of the law" said Elmer
E. Ames of the Central National bank
and president Of the Bankers Deposit
Guaranty & Surety company. In my
opinion there is no danger that mu-
nicipal bonds win be taxed"
Information that the Osborne order
was to be made was sent to the state
treasurer's office by several banks

Terrazas was the wealthfest man in
Mexico. Second to him In wealth in
the state OF Chihuahua was Enrique
Creel, his son-in-law. Creel was for
merly ambassador at Washington and
minister of foreign affairs under Diaz.
Like Terrazas, he Is a stanch supporter
Of General Huerta. So his vast hold
ings also have been taken by the rebels.
Terrazas obtained the nucleus for his
fortune, estimated all the way from
800 900 to $50. 200. 900. through the
gift Of 5000, 900 acres Of public land by
the government nearly half a century
ago for his services in clearing the
state Of Chihuahua of brigands and for
his work on behalf Of the nation dur
ing the war with France. One of his
most notable exploits was his organiza-
ton of a force of volunteers who, I'M
der his command. captured this city
from band of several hundred ban
dts who had defeated the federal gar
rison and caused the constituted Off
Gals of the government to flee for their
lives. AS a reward Terrazas was made
governor of the state. which Office he
filled many years. His successor was
Mr.. Creel, his son-in-law.
1t was General Terrazas's ownership
OF such an enormous area Of land and
his possession Of other properties Of
great value, together with the fact that
he paid to the state and federal gov
eminent an Insignificant amount of
taxes upon his holdings, that caused
discomfort among the masses Of the
people of the state and led largely to
the organization of the revolution
which resulted in placing Madero in
power.
General Villa, who has now declared
himself governor Of Chihuahua, says
that no part of the wealth of TerrazaS
and Creel ever will be returned.
