 main In Jail

The Supreme Court Monday morning refused to issue a writ of certiorari to compel the judge of the Nevada circuit court to llberate Mark Nc Cain and his two sons. Henry and Joe, on bonds pending their trials for murder. The three men are be- ing held at the state penitentiary for safe keeping.
 Three months ago the three McCains participated in a street duel at Prescott which resulted in one death. Two of the Me Gains, Mark and his son, Joe, were wounded. They were taken to Little Rock shortly after the affair to be held until their trials were called.
 Attorneys for the McCains en- deavored to get them out on bond but their applications were denied by the lower court. A petition for a writ of certiorari then was filed in the Supreme Court.

Act No. 2 Defeated---1 and 12 Carried
 and IA in Doubt.

TueSdaY1S $ presidential election was one of the closest contests Tn the history of the nation, not ex- cepting the 1884 election.
 The result at 1 o'clock this, Wednesday afternoon, is still in doubt with the vote standing as follows: < Wilson, 231 Hughes, 2l6. This leaves 84 votes in doubt, which includes California, Wyoming, Montana, and other western states.
 The result may be known by Thursday morning, and 1t may take, several days.
 There were many surprises in the election.
 Rhode Island elected a United States Senator for the first time in 40 years.
 New Jersey, the home of Pres ident Wilson, went for Hughes, while.. ..Ohio is reported in the Democratic column.
 Congress appears to be still democratic in both branches, all though it is apparent that the republicans made slight gains.
 Arkansas will return an incre- ased majority for governor. pres, ident, U. s. Senator and has el- ected al! seven democratic con gressmen.
 Among the acts initiated, No. 1, the primary election law, will have a majority in the state. while Act No. 2, the local option law. has been defeated.
 Amendment No. 12, which in- creases the power of school dis tricts, and permits them to levy a 12 mill tax for school purposes has been adopted, while it is ap- parent that Amendment No. 13, increasing the power of the l. & R. is defeated.
 Amendment No. IA. the road tax law. is in doubt.
 The democratic ticket in Ne. vada county won by a vote of about 5 to l. The republican candidates for president, U. s. Senator and Congress, receiving about the same vote as that cas, for the socialist candidates fol county officers.
 Act No. l carried in the coun ty by large majority, while Ac | No. 2 was defeated by a vote oi 3 to l.
 The vote on the amendment: shows that No. 12 carried, while | Nos. 13 and 14 is close.

 Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar, derived from grapes and adds to the food only whole some qualities.
 Some baking powders contain alum or phosphate, both of mineral origin, and used as substitutes for cream of tartar because of their cheaprosa.

sioners upon this showing had adj
vanced the rate by ordinance. There
had not been a single protest against
the higher rate. Not only was Mr..
Guthrie present to represent the
Olathe Gas company, but Mayor Pei
lett of Olathe, and Frank House, Sec
rotary of the Farmers & Merchants
association of that city, voluntarily
appeared before the supreme court to
testify as to the truth of Mr.. Guthrie's
assertions.
They said that the people of Olathe
had gone into the gas matter very
thoroly and that they were convinced
that the higher rate would be to their
interest, because it would eliminate
most of the furna ce users and thereby
insure larger supply of gas for cook
Ing and lighting purposes. 1t was also
shown that there was no occasio
whatever for the public utilities COM
mission TO interfere in the Olathe sit
uatlon, because it had been satisfac-
torily adjusted by agreement among
all parties concerned.
File Bill Over Protest.
On Wednesday morning Judge Will
bur F. Booth of Minneapolis, occupied
the bench of the United States dis
trict court for the first division of
Kansas, sitting in Kansas City, Kan.
AT that time the attorneys for Re-
celVer John M. Landon asked leave to
file a supplemental bill of complaint
to their original bill filed in the same
court and upon which preliminary
injunction was granted last June
against any and all interference with
the receiver in his management of the
property of the Kansas Natural Gas
company.
There were ninety-four defendants
in this suit, including the cities, dis
tf1out1ng companies state courts and
pubic utilities commissions in inter-
est Representatives of the United
Gas improvement company of Pitts
Durg, Pa, tried hard to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of the supplemental bill
Judge Booth, however, permitted the
filing of the bill over the objections
OF the Pittsburg gas representatives.
Attorneys for Mr.. Landon stated to
the court that they were very anxious
Tor final hearing upon the merits
OF the case SO that the debts of the
company could be paid and the re-
ceiver discharged. Judge Booth act
ing upon the plea of Mr.. Landon's at
torneys consented to an early hearing
and set the case for October 10. At
that time every person interested in
any way in the gas situation will be
invited to come into the court and pre-
sent his views. 1t is evidently the in
tention of the court to make final dis
position of the whole gas controversy
The action of the federal court will
not In any way interfere with the
hearing in the Montgomery coutty
district court which is set for Mon
day, October 16. On that date Judge
t1annelly will receive reports from
the stockholders reorganization com
mittee and decide what steps shall be
taken looking toward a discharge of
the receiver and a restoration of the
property of the Kansas Natural Gas
company to it's owners.

GAS CASE
All Invited to Kansas City
Hearing October 10.
Court Will Decide Steps to End
Receivership.

Kansas City, Oct. 13.-There has
been 4 number of important develop
ments within the past week relating
to the affairs of the Kansas Natural
Gas company. On Tuesday a hearing
was had before the Kansas supreme
court on an application by the Kansas
utilities commission for an injunction
against the taking of the so-called
Olathe gas case before the federal
court. The utilities commission by
this action sought to retain jurisdic-
ton and thereby prevent the gas con-
troversy from reaching a solution in
the higher tribunal.
At the hearing in Topeka the SUI
preme court denied the injunction,
thereby sustaining the Kansas Nat
ural Gas company in its position re-
garding the Olathe gas case and many
others of similar character. 1t was
pointed out at Topeka that the people
of Olathe not only approved of the
35-cent rate, but were very anxious to
have it. w. F. Guthrie, representing
the Olathe Gas company, told the SUI
preme court that a petition signed by
over SO per cent of the qualified vot-
ers of Olathe had been presented to
the city commissioners asking for an
increased rate and that the commits

What the Young Man Wrote and
What Appeared in the Paper.

The graduate of the school of jour

big daily. There was fire on Smith
street, and the graduate was assigned
to cover it. This is what the gradu-
ate wrote about the fire.
1.-THE grim, red god of fire demand
ed his toll on Smith street yesterday.
Pandemonium prevailed when he
slaked his appetite on magnificent
residence at p. m. The building
was soon one continuous, seething in
ferno, and great tongues of flame
leaped high towards the heavens,
seeking to poison with their fury the
billows Of smoke and send them on
and away to carry further destruction
elsewhere. Great streaks of livid
light shot through the pail of black
ness which hung overhead and outlin-
ed the monster rolling gaseous clouds
in grim and gastly figurations. Soon
the residence, stood gaunt spector
of its former self, its massive tim
bers holding up and standing forth
and holding like huge skeletons lash
ed by the hellish tongues of the furi-
es of inferno"

Jack Eads Will Serve From Five to
Fifteen Years for the Crime of
Arson.

From five =" fifteen years was the
sentence that Jack Eads got here
Monday when he came up before
Judge Biggs. Eads was indicted, tri-
ed and convicted for the burning of
the dance hall at Monument, on the
evening of December 81, 1915. Busi-
ness rivalry and bitter enmity prom
pied the incendiary act. The fire
was started at midnight and at q
time when a dance was in progress.
There were many witnesses called
and when the links of circumstances
were forged together there was a
chain of circumstantial evidence SO
convincing that the jury founud the
verdict of guilty. Eads was law
breaker. He has been In trouble
continually. He was convicted of
bootlegging and many of the witness
es that were on the stand said that
they had bought illicit whiskey from
Eads.
When Eads received his sentence
he was asked if he had anything to
say. He said: "You are convict
ing an innocent man, am not guilty
as charged" The court replied that
he was convicted from the evidence
that Eads was guilty and the law pro-
vided penalty of from 5 to Is years
| Eads has been the source of much
| trouble. He is a man about St
years old. His wife is less than &c

Jewett Tries to Bulldog Doe But Now
He's Sorry.
Stanley G. Jewett, of the U. S. Bio
logical Survey had an interesting ex-
perience during his recent trip into
the Rogue River country. A doe
stepped into a trap set for coyotes
and the hunter knew of no way to
release it without killing it. Jewett
decided he had seen enough of the
Roundup to bulldog it. He reached
for an ear and was butted over. The
fine work was all of. He grabbed
the animal by a fore foot and hind
one and downed it. The hunter re-
leased the trap.
The animal was free but the in
spector wasn't. He let the doe 60
and she proceeded to butt him over.
Two or three times he had this ex-
perience. The animal did not at
tempt to strike, apparently getting
all the necessary action out Of her
battering ram tactics. Finally Je-
I welt lost patience and picked up the
deer, climbed out Of the pothole
where the trap had been set, put the
| deer down on the ground and ran
for his life for about Is feet. The
doe looked after him, saw that he was
20 far away to butt and turning ran
off into the woods.
Jewett says that he has proven
that a deer may be released from a
trap without killing it and he thinks
he would like to see what q buck
would do. In this wish he was join
ed by the office force but they were
content to have the inspector per-
form the experiment.-Pendleton Tri-
