MRS. HI. L.. BANS. Correspondent

between the chair and a safe. Henry C. Sharpe, mayor of Brighton. gave prac- tically the same evidence as H. J. Wilkes
 Mrs. Cora Daniel testified that she had carried a letter from Mrs. Olive to MT. Walker earlier in the morning or which he was killed. and that after reading the leJrer Walker said, If he approaches me about his wife Isll kill him."
 Olive, when placed on the witness stand, made out a plea of self-defense instead of claiming the unwritten law, as had been expected from the state ments he had made since the shooting occurred. He testified that when he went upstairs to the office that he did not know that Walker was in the office and that Walker called to him and said that he wanted to see him. A quarrel ensued, according to his state ment, and he shot WaSzer with his left hand while facing him, after Walker had struck him with his re- volver on the right shoulder, the blow having been intended for his head.
 Judge Etheridge ruled that no bond be admitted from the evidence given, and that he be remanded to 1ag on charge of murder in the first degree Although the killing of the chief of DO lice was the sensation of the hour, there were few people attending the trial as i' was not generally known that pre- liminary hearing would be given Sat urday morning.
 Olives wife was with him at the trial as we'll as other members of her fami- ly. The trial will likely be held at the fall term of court in the Bessemer di- vision of circuit court, as under the law recently enacted all cases originating in the Bessemer cutoff will be tried in the Bessemer division of court.
 The killing occurred imm media tely after the enactment of the law by the legislature.

MESA TO DECIDE IN
 S10O 0O0 bOND ISSUE

MESA. May At a specially called meeting of the Mesa city council, il was decided to call an election for the purpose of deciding whether bonds in the sum of $100,000 should be sold for the purpose of financing various city improvements.
 First and foremost comes a needed expenditure of s60,000 for the enlarge ment of the gas plant additional cleo tric equipment and power and eXten- sion and improvement of the water system. As explained by Mayor Klein man. this is not an expense but an in vestment by which additional revenue will come into the city, just as mer- chant buys larger stock of goods. It is a fact that must be faced that, next winter. the town will be short on gas, for the simple reason that Mesa has outgrown it's present plant.
 It also is desired to purchase 165 feet immediately south of the city hall lot. This is needed for a fire house, a ware house for the city utility supplies and equipment, and an addition to the present city hall.
 Mesa is growing so fast that it IS keeping the council and the citizens on the jump to supply clothes of size for the rapidly developing child. The town has outgrown it's gas, water and cleo tricity systems; it's hign school is too small by some hundred or more pupils; there is an active demand for more va cant store rooms, and in fact every thing is getting uncomfortably crowd = ed, except perhaps the seating spaces in the churches. There yet can be found room for the worshiper condi- regretted

 Speaking of Washington and of music, the father of this country wrote to composer regretfully: q can neither sing one of the songs nor raise 6 single note on an instrument. He loved music. however, and bought for his wife's granddaughter Nelly, a forte piano" then a very new instru- ment, as well as an imported harpsi- chord for which he paid a thousand dollars. He loved to hear Nelly Custis sing and play.
 The letter quoted above was written to Francis Hopkinson, who in spite of being the first important American composer, an inventor of musical in struments and a performer was also a member of the Continental Congress and Q signer of the Declaration of h. dependence.
 Thomas Jefferson, who stands fair ly high as statesman. was d good singer and an expert violinist and spent much time playing to the accom- paniments of his wife. Jefferson while in Paris corresponded with Hop- kinson on musical topics and took an interest in placing there Hopkinson's improvement on harpischord jacks. He discussed it with Dr. Benjamin Frank lin. who was not only a writer of verS witty musical criticisms, but also a performer on the ''sticcado" and the 1 inventor of an instrument which he called the "armonica." This ingenious adaptation of the then popular must cal glasses" made a sensation, and at least one woman toured Europe giving concerts on it. Both Mozart anu Bee thoven wrote special compositicns for Poor Richards invention.
