SAM DOSS ACQUITTED


the Prosecuting Attorney of
murder in the first degree, for
the killing of Otto Huitt, re-
turned their verdict at 12:45 p.
m. Saturday, of not guilty, af-
ter having considered the case
from ten o'clock Friday night.
It viii be remembered by the
readers of The Times that there
was a discussion by the "wets"
and the "drys" at a picnic at
Desloge, July 3, 1915, and Con-
gressman Meeker represented
the "wets" and Judge G. o. Ma
tions the "drys" in this discus
sion. The speaking took place
on the grounds and between the
hours of two and four o'clock p.
m. of said day. The picnic was
given by the Yeomen, and there
was large number of people,
some estimating that there were
about three thousand people on
the grounds at the time the diff
fculty began.
The theory of the State, as
shown by it's evidence, was
that soon after Judge Nations
began his second or reply
speech and during that time Sam
Doss, who was a deputy sheriff,
was standing in front of the
speaker, and Otto Huitt came
up to within few feet of Doss
and made a rather uncompli-
mentary remark about Judge
Nations; that Doss made some
remark in reply and directed his
remarks to Huitt; that the two
then clinched and were imme-
diately separated; that several
men assisted in pulling. Huitf
from and several yards away
from Doss; that several other
men caught hold of Doss and as
sisted in pulling him away, and
pushed and led him sode thirty
five feet away and into the
throng of people; that Doss
then pulled his pistol, returned
through the crowd and advanc-
ed toward Huitt, who at that
time was being held by Deputy
Sheriff, John Hibbitts and one or
two other men and fred 5 shots
at him, either one Of four which
would have proven fatal; that
as Doss was being led away by
Deputy Sheriff John Hibbitts and
r. c. Pigg, he said Of Huitt,
'T'll shoot the - -, he
can't cut my throat" or words to
that effect; that Huitt fell dead
across some benches and with
in three or four feet of two
small oak trees and within a few
feet Of where the fight first
started.
The theory Of the defendant,
as shown by its evidence, was
that for several years prior to
the killing, Otto Huitt had made
numerous very grave threats
against Doss, wherein he stated
that he would cut Doss' throat /:
that the night before Huitt told
a cousin Of his to be certain to
be at the picnic, for he was 60
ing to cut Doss' throat; that the
morning Of July Sd Huitt told a
bar5eeper at Elvins that he was
going up to The Desloge picnic
and cut Doss' throat; that he
did go to the picnic between 3
and 4 O'clock p. m. and took a
position behind and to the right
Of Doss and made a very ugly re-
mark about Judge Nations that
Doss turned his head and told
him to leave the grounds if he
(Huitt) did not like the speech
that Huitt said, "What?9 and
struck Doss with a knife in the
right eye, and then clinched and
throwing his right arm under

Don't Burn and Ruin
The Hair With Hot Iron

Straight, lank hair is becoming to but
few women and there's no excuse now for
anyone looking hOmely and unkempt on
that account Those who have foresworn
the curling iron because of the damage it
does by drying and breaking the hair.
will be glad to hear that plain liquid
silmerfne will produce a far better and
prettter effect without any injurious re-
suit whatever. If just a small quantity
be applied to the hair at night with a
clean tooth brush a lovely curliness and
natural wave will be in evidence in the
morning, and there will be nothing
streaky, sticky or greasy about it.
A few ounces of liquid silmerine, OBJ
tainable at any drug store, will prove
a welcome addition to many a dressing
table. 1t is best applied by dividing the
hair into strands and moistening each of
them separately from root to tip. The
beautiful wavy effect will last for a con-
siderable time.-Advertisement.

An Easy Way To Get
Fat And Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks. who
wish to gain weight is that they insist
on drugging their stomach or stuffing
1t with greasy foods; rubbing on useless
flesh creams or following some foolish
physical culture stunt, while the real
cause of thinness goes untouched. You
cannot get fat until your digestive tract
assimilates the food you eat.
There is a preparation known to re
liable druggists almost everywhere which
seemingly embodies the missing elements
needed by the digestive organs to help
them convert food into rich, fat-laden
blood. This modern treatment is called
Sargol and has been termed the greatest
of flesh builders. Sargol aims through
regenerative, re-constructive powers to
coax the stomach and intestines to liter
ally soak up the fattening elements of
your food and pass them into the blood.

SHEET METAL WORKERS MAY GO
OUT WEDNESDAY
Millmen sheet metal workers are
almost sure to throw themselves into
the strike maelstrom when they meet
Wednesday evening. If they strike it
will be because the outside sheet
metal workers were locked out Sat
urday noon in violation of the agree
ment between the union and the con-
tractors.
There are but 200 miIlmen, but the
moral and actual effect of their walk
ing out will have a significant bearing
upon the situation, as it will mean the
complete tying up of the sheet metal
work in Chicago.
When the outside men were locked
out Saturday, the inside men were
for striking at once. Their business
agents, with Thomas Walsh, prevail,
ed upon them to stay by their jobs
until they could vote on the question
at the next regular meeting, which is
Wednesday evening. The outside
men did not ask the inside men to
strike They all belong to one union.
The sheet metal leaders say they
will have every locked7out man at
work in short order. But AZ contrac-
tors are members of the association
which closed the doors; 210 outside
contractors have signed the metal
workers individual agreement.
Carpenter contractors met today to
determine whether they would enter
mediation meetings with the carpent-
ers. The contractors are divided on
the question of mediation, but the Of
flcials seem favorable towards the

COWS has a gutter in back of the stalls. and also the floor of the stalls is made on a slant SO that they can be easily washed out. h the horse part of the stable the fioo. are made level and no gutter is needed in back of the stalls. Convenient harness clos cts are placed in the front part of the barn alongside the horse stalls.
 Lighting is one Of the most impor- tant things in a barn. Chickens like to lay eggs where it is dark. but dairy COWS do not accomplish much unless they are given plenty of light. The lighting in this barn is well taken care of There are seven windows spaced along each side of the barn and in each end there are two more. making eighteen windows in all. In ad- dition to contributing to the comfort of the COWS a weIllighted barn is much pleasanter to work in.
 The entrance to the barn for the animals is through a wide double sliding door et the front end of the barn. There is also another double door at the back through which the litter carrier goes out to the dump.
