RODE A BULL CALF.

AS to yet the Republican-C Citizen
has not commented on the nomination
of Tom Rye for governor by the dem
ocrats. And no doubt many of our
readers have wondered who we will
favor for governor, being a republic
can paper and an old Benton coun-
ty democrat the nominee for COVER
nor. In order to relieve this pain or
anxiety in the minds of our readers
we wish to state right here that the
Experimentation is for Tom Rye
first, last and all the time. Why are
we for Rye? Because Tom Rye is
clean, honest, upright gentleman, of
as good parentage as may be found in
the state; he is above dirty politics,
and not tool of the city bosses.
Because he will serve the state as gov
ernor for the best welfare of the peo-
pie, and is a native of Benton county,
being born and reared in and near
Camden. When a small boy he used
to ride bull calf around the streets
Of this city, and with the same ease
he is going to ride the democratic
donkey up Capitol hill in November.

Constitutional Privileges.

All persons familiar with the efforts
made by some lawyers to find loop
holes in the law through which delin-
quent clients may escape their just
deserts will appreciate some satirical
verses in the Docket for September.
The verses are included with some
comments on the firm stand which
the criminal court of appeals of Okla

technicalities. They are entitled
THE Up-to-Date Defense of Cy S.

Remarks by Counsel.
Now, may it please the court and you,
Peers of the realm, who come to do
Your highest duty in the land
AS jurymen, you understand
I outline briefly for our side
The case of Mr.. Cy N. Ide-
My client here-whose whole life
shows
Him pure as the new falling SHOWS;
A victim, may say, of chance
And much confusing circumstance.
Preliminary Objections.
First, then, we ask the court to
quash
The whole indictment-pray read
Bosh
On Bluff and Buster, chapter two:
link must be black and never blue;
And if the ink used is not black
'Tis ground to send the whole case
back"
The rule, pray please the court, is
plain:
But here read the law again
quote now from authority
OF Blow and Buncom0e, chapter
three:
IF any t. shall not be crossed,
Or dot of any Il be lost. ...
These grave omissions, then, shall be
Enough to set defendant free!"
So here we have the law; and see
Here is a naked, uncrossed "t"!
Collateral Exceptions.
So the Indictment, then, is wrecked
Full of omission and defect,
Judge Pinn Hedde, in his able work
On Fifteen Thousand Ways to Jerk
The Props from Prosecution, says:

In the indictment, may Upset
The very best indictment yet.
Far better Murder should go free
That we should have an increased

Particular Error.

So, on these vital points I might
Insist upon my clients right
To be set free; but there are more
On Which we set much greater store;
The witness Blank, when on the
stand,
Was sworn while raising his left
hand;
And so his evidence, no doubt,
The honored court will have thrown
out.
And in support of this I read
From Shyster on the High Courts
Need
Of Being Even More than Loath
To Tolerate a Left Hand Oath
General Objections.
Ii this were all, it were enough
To set my client free-see Bluff
On Half Thousand Reasons Why
The Law Loves Technically.
But, lest your honor should refuse
Our claims, my client now renews
Objection to the court, it's looks,
Its jurisdiction and it's books;
Objection to the evidence,
lndictment-as to form and sense;
Objection to the desks and chairs.
The tables and state counsels airs
In fact, my client now objects
To everything; and he expects
To show, by Bluff, by Crook, by Bragg,
By Shyster, Petit Fogg and Snagg,
By that great friend of crime, D. Lay
By Trick, by Subj TER Fuge and
Stay,
That he should be set free because
OF all those loopholes in the laws.

side and rose from a wall of pottej
ferns and palms. One very large arch
wound with ivy and burning tapeIs
overlooked the whole scene. The
pews reserved for the family and init
mate friends were marked by tall
White pedestals wound with ivy ant
covered with burning tapers.

ROBERT KEEN KILLED
by A c. c. & 0. TRAIN.

Robert Keen was killed by c. c. &
o. coal train here Wednesday night
of last week.
It is believed that Keen overcome
by sleep, might have lad down on
the track, while another theory is
that he was killed and thrown on the
track to hide the crime.
Keen was about thirty-five years of
age and was single. He was son OF
Mr., and Mrs. Jonas Keen, of the
eighth district. The funeral and bur-
ial took place Friday.

HE RASHES by STEVENSON.

In the fulfillment of her last wish,
the ashes of Mrs. Robert Louis Stew
enson will be placed beside the body
of her husband on the summit of
Mount vaca, Samoa, says the Los
Angeles Times. Before the door of
the tomb will be inscribed the last
stanza of Stevenson's verse to his
wife:
Teacher, tender comrade wife;
Fellow farer, true through life;
Heart whole and soul free
The August Father gave to me.
To this tomb there will be no
means of access except rough
mountain path. When the will of
Mrs. Stevenson, who died in Santa
Barbara several months ago, is set
lied, her children, Mrs. Strong and
Lloyd Osbourne will take her ashes
to Samoa. The ashes are now in
San Francisco.

To jurors, clerks and witnesses.
Aud, having made our attitude
As clear and frank IS we'll we could
We come now To the minor phase
or testimony in the case.
Insanity.
First, we have shown by proof quite
plain
That c. N. Ide is hardly sane.
The eminent DR.. Ale Yay Nisst,
By reAexing my clients wrist
And tapping on his frontal bone,
Finds absence of the Moral Tone.
And DR.. Ekks Squirt finds one car
The thousandth of an inch too near
The cheek-a symptom, as You see,
OF responsibility.
So, by your oaths, you should agree
To Cy n. Ide's insanity,
And so acquit him of intent
And free him, that he may repent.
The AIibi.
But we have other proofs, # this
Phase Of defense may seem anliss:
My client, Cy N. lde, proves by
His witness an a-lie-by.
He was, upon the fatal day
This deed was done, ten miles away:
So, if you find him sane, you're bound
To free him on this other ground.
AS jurors who are sworn to 10
The will of justice, good aa1 true,
Whichever way you look you will
Find Cy n Ide impregnable
As truth itself-no crime can lie
With such a perfect a-lie-hy.
Evidence of Self-Defense.
But, if again you are in doubt,
Or how this crime has come about,
My client gives sworn evidence
The deed was done in self-defense.
The victim of this homicide
Made fierce attacks on Cy N. Ide.
AS he so graphically swore,
With sword mad pistol-aye, and
more!
And, as he shot and stabbed and tried
To end the life of Cy N. Ide,
My client, much to his dismay,
Was forced to shoot or run away;
And so he was lame and could not
run!
So, it is plain the evidence
Is ample proof of self-defense,
And so you must acquit, you see,
On one ground, two, or even three!
No Corpus Deficit.
But not alone on this defense
This bulwark firm of evidence
Do we rely; for we have brought
The eminent expert, Tullus Watt,
And he quite sturdily agrees
The victim died of heart disease.
In which event the case must fall,
Since there was no crime done at all
The eminent expert, Tellus Watt,
Says, in the interval twixt shot
And when the bullet struck it's mark
Excitement Quencbed the vital spark
Within the victims breast; and ne
Died, not of crime, but naturally.
So, here, again, my client stands
And asks acquittal at your hands.
Exceptions, Requests, Motions, Ped'
lions Ad Iibitum.
Now please the court, we ask the
case
Dismissed-'tis now the time and
place,
And, failing that, we move the court
Instruct the jury to report
A verdict of not guilty! Should
The court not hold our motion good,
We ask the jury to acquit
On any ground it may see fit
Insanity, if it so please;
Or a-lie-by or heart disease;
Or self-defense. If homicide
Is found, we ask it set aside,
And, failing that, we straightwa!
move
Another trial, that we may prove
A new defense-if it's denied,
We ask an appeal certified
And, failing that, we ask to be
Petitioners for clemency.
And, failing that, we ask but leave
To file petitions for reprieve.
And, failing that-weh Cy N. Ide
By then will have grown old ant
r., died!
