SECOND CARMAN TRIAL ON.

MINEOLA, L. l., May 3.-CooIly
and without trace of emotion, Mrs.
Florence Carman is personally direct
ing every move of the second battle
for her life in the trial charging her
with the murder of Mrs. Louise
Bailey in Dr. Carman's office last
June.
The trial takes place at an extra
ordinary session of the Nassau coun-
ty court which convened at Mineola
today with Justice Abel E. Blackmar
presiding. The first trial of Mrs. Car
man, which also took place at Mine
ola, ended in jury disagreement last
October.
The decision of District Attorney
Smith to bring the case to trial again
is accepted as an indication that he
has discovered new evidence which he
regards as important enough to JUS
tify a new trial. The nature of the
new evidence it is said will be Of al
most equal Importance to that of
Celia Coleman, the negro maid.
On the eve of the beginning of the
second trial counsel for Mrs. Carman
state they have no new evidence of
any Importance and the defense will
be virtually the same as the first
trial. 1--WE know Mrs. Carman is in
nocent," said George NJ. Levy, chief
counsel for Mrs. Carman, today, "and
we believe that the jury this time will
say So"

pretty new daughter at their
home. The little ones mother was
formerly Miss Belva Wyatt, sister Of
Mrs. Alva Beeler and Mrs. Charles
Thompson Of this city.
Governor Carlson had quite new
experience in Grand Junction last
week, when he spent % hours
there without being asked to make
a single appointment or favor a sim
gle proposition. The chamber of COM
merce appointed a committee Of three
to steer would-be favor askers away
from the governor during his stay
and they succeeded in what seemed to
be an impossible task. Governor
Carlson was so pleased with the ar
rangement that Grand Junction peo-
pie will likely profit considerably by
way of appointments, owing to the un-
usual courtesy shown him.

A Long Fight.

| The supreme court has just de-
cided a case of considerable local in
tercst, involving 100 acres Of coal land
up Horse gulch, about three miles
east of the city. In 1901 Mr.. C. E.
Herr obtained tax deed to the land
in question,and in 1909, thirteen
years ago, the former owner COM
menced an action in the district cour.
to cancel the deed. The case was
first tried in January, 1903, and n
decree entered canceling the tax deed.
On appeal by Mr.. Herr to the supreme
court, the case was reversed, and
tried again in the district court in
December 1907, and again decree
was entered cancelling the tax deed
Mr.. Herr appealed again, and the
court of appeals in October 1912, af-
firmed the lower court and again the
deed was annulled. MIR. Herr then
took the case to the supreme court
to have the decision of the court OF
appeals reviewed, and the supreme
court on Monday rendered decision
which not merely reverses the court
of appeals and the district court but
sends the case back with instructions
to enter judgment for Mr.. Herr, so the
thirteen years of litigation with two
trials and three appeals, ends with
a complete victory for Mr.. Herr, and
his tax deed is declared valid the first
tax deed in many years that the su-
preme court has not declared void,
when assailed before it. Mr.. Herr
and Messrs. Perkins & Main, his at
torneys are naturally very much
gratified at the final result Of the
thirteen years of litigation. There is
nothing like fighting to the last ditch
as this case shows.
A Series of Hardships.
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Spinning of the
Florida mesa, who made an overland
trip to Phoenix last fall, on a health
seeking expedition, are back again.
Friends learn with regret that their
mission was an unsuccessful one. Mr..
Spinning got but little relief and re-
turns in poor health, one of the child
rem was sick during the winter and
Mrs. Spinning is quite seriously ILL.
Their journey home was a very, very
hard one. Roads were bad and the
weather disagreeable. They reach
ed st. Johns Arizona just as the
flood was at its height. In order
TO continue their travels they had
to carry the contents of their wagons
across the Little Colorado on a foot
bridge, that was then almost under
mined by the water and very unsafe.
Their wagons were brought across
by means of long ropes, while the
horses swan the swollen stream with
out impediment of any sort and bare
ly escaped being drowned. Just as
they were safely on the other side,
the frail foot bridge that made 1t
possible for them to cross, was swept
away. The trip attended by SO many
hardships, was more than Mrs. Spin
ing was equal to. physically. She is
at the home of Mrs. Emma Miller,
who resides in the Balster house and
under DR.. Ochsner's care, her
mother, Mrs. George Spencer, and
Mrs. Miller are nursing her.

THE BEGGAR'S WISH.

One day a beggar walking along
the road came to the palace of king.
"Oh, if I were on y a king" he said,
"how happy | should be! l could have
plenty of food and drink from gold.
en- goblet, and at night should sleep
upon soft bed In the day time !
should wear rich robes and ride in q
handsome coach. How | wish | were
king!"
Now it happened that the King was
looking from window OF the palace
at this same time, and, seeing the beg
gar walking along carefree, said, "Oh
if were only that beggar walking
along the road. He can enjoy the
sunshine, for he has not care. He
can eat his food in comfort and with.
out fear that it is poisoned; no one
covets his throne and his life Is not
in danger. He can quench> his thirst
from the brooks that are filed with
clear water and not from a cup OF
gold which hides the sparkle. At night
he can sleep where he will and give
no thought to the morrow. He does
not have to wear this uncomfortable
robe or crown upon an aching head.
| oh, wish were that beggar!"
