FOREIGNERS TRIED
In Magistrate Carriers Court
on Charges of Violating
Prohibition Law.

Dominick Tino, SteHano Deadato
and Vinvenzo Montesono, foreigners
who were recently arrested on war
rants charging them with violating
the prohibition law, were arraigned In
Magistrate Jackson V. Carter's court
Monday evening for trial
The warrant against Tino was dis
missed as the state had no evidence
against him. Deadato was held for the
next criminal court grand jury and in
default OF bond was sent TO jail. Mont
esono's case was not decided by Mag
istrate Carter Monday night as he
wanted time TO deliberate over the
evidence. He will probably render a
decision in day or two.

WESTON, Oct. 17.-Another Dem

with hundreds of others that have

Indignation ran high in Weston

Governor Hatfield, against whom the
Democratic candidate for governor
has conferred his fight. Monday night
opened a five-day tour of the east
ern panhandle with a speech here to
a crowd that packed the court house.
The governor was inspiring in his
references to the man who is going
about the state ylllifying him and
mlsstatlng facts.
Former Speaker Vernon T.. John
son presided.
Following discussion of national
Issues, Governor Hatfield took cog
nlzance of Cornwell's either willful
or ignorant statement. He said !:
II notice that the Democratic can
didate for governor says that II takes
forty per cent OF the money in the
compensation department to run the
other sixty per cent. A candidate
for governor, or any public office,
should seek to attempt at least to
make plausible statements. He GER
tainly must have a low estimate OF
the intelligence Of his audience.

ernon continues to go about the state
on his numerous railroad passes.
which am informed he has over all
the railroads of the state, maliclousIy
the true state or af-
fairs. If Mr.. Cornwell stands for so
many good civic principles why is 1t
that his record as senator does not
stand out boldly in the cause?
Did he advocate workmen's
law?
did his party advocate the abo-
lition of the fee system, an accom-
of Republican legisla-
ture which saved the state 500, 600
II challenge Mr.. cornWell to
point to one constructive law placed
upon the statute books by his party
during its twenty-five years of state
control"
The governor declared that the
word extravaganza" had become a
creed with Democracy, but when its
for governor was called by
the man he was attacking and chal-
lenged to a joint debate the Demo-
cratic nominee sought shelter and
backed down a la Wilson.

female employee OF the institution.
Republicans here were Of the opin-
ion taat the Exponent's story did the
Republican party more good than
any hing that could have happened.
Many Democrats who knew the story
was without vestige of foundation
were angered that such cheap politics
sho I'D be injected into the campaign.
The Exponent story contained a
statement to the effect that one young
woman, who had held a position at
the hospital more than a year, was
assessed $40 for campaign purposes,
under pain of losing her job. This
was another faleshood that was ridi-
culed by all the employees OF the in
stltution.

Magistrate William E. starcher. who
lives near by, acted as coroner in
the coroner's absence. He made a
complete investigation and found no
evidence Of foul play and decided
that Hurst death was purely accl-
dental.
The body was removed to the
Warne Undertaking company's es-
Enlistment on West Pike street and
prepared for burial. On account Of
the condition of the remains It was
impossible for any one to positively
identify the remains last night, but
after they were prepared for burial
friends and relatives had no trouble
in Identifying Mr.. Hurst.
The deceased man Is survived by
HIS widow, three sons, a daughter,
and his mother, all residents Of the

Taking up the cost of the work

campaign, during which the Demo-
cratic nominee with with offering

him, Cornwall, for governor.

"If he was suffering from any dis
ease It was gubernatorial mania OF the
stagnation'type."
