MANSLAUCHTER |S VERDICT RETURNED
 IN MINER CASE

After a deliberation, long enough to be mature, that is to say, exactly twentyfour hours. the jury in the case of H. B. Miner, charged with the murder of John Williams, near Glendale, yesterday afternoon returned 8 verdict of manslaughter. The yer dict was accompanied by recommen- dation of the defendant to the mercy of the court
 This verdict was arrived at with great difficulty and the predictions were that there would be a failure to agree. Judge Stanford was informed that the jury had reached an agree ment and he came to town. The de- fendant and his attorney. George Purdy Bullar, were present when the jury came in. After receiving the verdict, Judge Stanford announced that sent ence would be passed on Thursday morning.

EVE REALLY HARVEST
 FESTIVAL DATE

Somehow when an error creeps into a newspaper the public is pretty cer- tain to lay the blame exactly where it does not belong. And so when The Republican yesterday morning an- nounced in one column that the Har- vest Festival under the auspices of the Woman's club would be held Friday evening and in another column stated that the date had been changed to Wednesday evening, those who knew that Thursday evening had really been selected, concluded that the publicity department of the Woman's club was to blame for the double miX-up.
 The truth of it is that the committee was as innocent of error as though it had nothing to do with the affair. Late Saturday evening word was tele- phoned to The Republican that a change in the date of the Harvest Fes- tival had been necessitated because of a counter attraction on Friday evening. Over the telephone Thursday was cas- fly mistaken for Wednesday and so it went into the paper as changed to Wednesday evening. All of which gives The Republican an excellent op- portunity, while making a most willing correction, to further call attention to this affair which promises to be one of the most enjoyable of the present season.
 In the words of the society editor,
 "The spirit of the old time harvest af- l fairs will be carried out in every
 detail, the guests appearing in frocks fashioned for such occasions many years ago." This means that gingham aprons and sun -bonnets will be worn
 and that decorations entirely in keep ing with the occasion will predominate. | One of the features of the evening
 will be box supper, suggested by Mrs, | Lyman Bennett, who is in charge of
 the arrangements. There will be danc- l ing, and for those who do not dance cards will be provided
 1 And the date will be Thursday even i ing; the hour, o'clock, and no mistake | about it,
