A SACRIFICE TO JUSTICE.
Calf Shot i'm Effort to Save an Ac.
cused Slayer.

They dressed calf in the clothes
of a man in Longmont and made it a
sacrifice to the fight for freedom OF
Rienzi G.. Dickens, who is charged
with Staying his father, wealthy
Longmont banker, by shooting him
through a window on the night OF
November 80, last.
The calf became victim of a bul.
let fired by A. H. Hamilton, an ex-
pert for the defence, who shot at
close range from high-power rifle
such as the State contends was used
by the slayer of William H. Dickens
The calf, attired in a waistcoat
and shirt, was led to the slaughter
witnesses testified, for the purpose OF
determining the effect of bullet fired
from a rifle on living tissues. Seven
feet in front Of the calf window
pane was placed. A beaver board
was put II feet back of the calf.
Hamilton, the expert, with his rifle,
stood 10 feet from the glass and fired
through it at the sacrifice.
1--WE found a small piece Of the
bullet between the calf's hide and
the vest it wore," DR.. A. Stradley, of
Longmont, who assisted in the test,
testified. 1--WE did not find the rest
of the bullet
The contention of the defence is
that a bullet with an almost pure
copper jacket fred from a high-pow-
er rifle like that Rienzi Dickens is
alleged to have used exploded by the
heat occasioned in it's firing when it
strikes living tissues
The State claims that three pieces
of bullet taken from the wall of
the Dickens home, where they had
imbedded themselves after passing
through the body of the aged banker,
are pieces of a 25-calibre copper
jacketed bullet contained in a box
bought by Rienzi Dickens when he
purchased the rife.-Boulder, Colo.,

A pompous manufacturer of ma

The Press Meeting.

Here is what Bob Gonzales, the
gifted paragrapher of the Columbia
State, thinks of the meeting OF the
South Carolina Press association
at York last week:
York is a fine, old-fashioned, homy
sort of town, and we shall always
root for it. We made quite an i'm
preston on the people. We admit 1t
ourself. Col. Sparks also made quite
an impression on the people, especial
ly the feet of the young ladies who
heroically tried to dance with him.
In addition Josiah made a deep I'M
preston on the following, to wit:
Item: One I'D car, on which he in
advertently stepped. Drawing itself
to it's full height, the infuriated 4d
bit Josiah savagely on the calf, but,
alas, the damage had been done.
Item: One bed. Case diagnosed
as internal injuries.
Item: Four rockers and seven
teen straight chairs. Severe frac-
lures and other injuries.
Item: One speaking platform.
Though reinforced and buttressed for
the emergency, said platform now
presents truly melancholy spec
tacle. The roads of this section are
very fine, being among the best we
ever tasted.
The association passed several de-
lightful hours on Thursday surround
! ing 10000 fried chickens, 10000
hard-boiled hen fruit, 100000 sam
handwiches and 100000 pies, served
by the ladies of Linwood College,
Taheelia, the haunt of a rosier and
more radiant rosebud garden of
girls than the late Alfred ever
lamped. Somebody ascribed the
wonderful appetites to '*the change
OF air, or sump'n," but we think
sump'n was mainly responsible.
There were numerous delectabe fea-
lures of the trip, but the one that
probably appealed most hilariously
TO Rion McKissick's Scotch soul was
that the people would not let him
spend anything but the day.
Nothing was left undone for the
hungry guest. Even at night he
could have a roll in bed and quench
his thirst from the springs. (Judge,
honest to Pete, it's our first offense
and if you let US off this time, honest
to Pete, we'll never do it again.
The single fault to be found is that
the entertainment committees pro-
gramme called only for automobile
rides between breakfast and dinner,
meetings between dinner and mid-af-
ternoon, receptions from mid-after-
noon until supper, soirees and dances
from supper until midnight and
poker sessions from midnight until
breakfast. The remainder the time
the hapless visitor was left to shut
f1e for himself.
All in all, York done herself proud,
as they would say in Gastonia, and
we want to go there when we die.
