C0RONfRS JURY
HOLDS VIE ON
MURDER CHARGE
Slayer OF John T0lbert Must
Fight for His. Life: Funeral
of Deceased TOMOrr0u

we, the jury, find that the de.
ceased came to his death from gun
shot wounds inflicted by Andrew Vize
with intent to commit murder"
The above is the verdict of the
jurors summoned to hold an inquest
over the body of John Tolbert, who
died at the Ell Centre hospital from
bullet wounds inflicted when Andrew
Vize, proprietor Of the Waldorf bill
lard parlor, shot him down last Sat.
urday in front of the Topic theater
on Main street, following alleged
threats to kill him made the dav pre-
vious, when Vize found the dead youth
and Mrs. Vie together in a room at
the Mission apartments on North
Sixth street.
The inquest held by Coroner Peter
son was brief and only the testimony
|of the immediate witnesses of the
shooting necessary to establish the
act and of Assistant Chief of Police
Slaughter and Patrolman Norman
Deaton, who attested the last post
mortem statement of Tolbert taken
forty minutes before his death, were
heard.
The body of young Tolbert was re-
moved shortly after his death from
the morgue in the hospital to the NOR
tuary parlors of +. J. Mulligan in
State street, where the INQUEST was
held.
The funeral services over Tolbert
will be held from the Mulligan chapel
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock and
the interment will be at Evergreen
cemetery. A number Of his young
friends and associates have been Sc
lected as pail bearers, and friends of
the family have already buried the
casket in which reposes the remains
under a wealth Of flowers and en-
blems of sympathy.
The direct charge of murder made
by the jury against Vize will force
him to defend his life in the criminal
court. Deputy District Attorney Don
c. Bitter. who will probably I have
charge of the case at the trial,
although District Attorney Simon is
expected to take an active part in the
prosecution, has been actively engaged
since the death of Tolbert in collect
ing all the evidence possible in the
case. Investigators have been en-
gagged in raking up the past history
of the defendant and the prosecution,
it is said, has uncovered much damag-
ing evidence.
The tragedy has evoked more inter
est in Ell Centre and surrounding
towns than would such a sordid shoot
ing scrape, because - the wide ac-
quaintance of both men, and Of the
woman who is by the shooting given
an awful burden to bear
The sheriff's office and Deputy Bit
Ter have not determined the exact date
on which Vie will be arraigned or
the murder charge now against him,
but it will probably be either Thurs
day or Friday of this week.

Postmaster C. w. Collins
and Nuttall Have Narrow
Escape When Hit by
Speeding Motor Engine

Driven at reckless rate of speed
estimated by some spectators at 40
miles an hour, and in violation of
every traffic law of the city. comfy
and state, the motor engine of the
cltysof Ell Centre crashed into an auto-
mobile in which was Postmaster C. w.
Collins and his son-in-law, Fred Nut
tall, shortly after noon today, endan-
gerlng the lives of the two occupants
and utterly wrecking the machine.
Two other motorcars were damaged
at the same time, one sport mode,
Lexington and the other ford coure
poth brand new cars. The automobile
IN which Postmaster Collins and Mr.
Nuttail were riding was an Oakland
roadster of modern tyne. The biz
motor fire engine was also damaged
IN the impact, but not to an appreci-
able extent, because of its weight.
Inc motor engine was returning
from answering a false alarm of fire
from Box 81 at Sixth and Commercial
streets, and came south on Sixth at
high speed. The machine was turned
INTO Main street headed east, and at
ruth street made the turn south at an
excessive rate of speed, but with a
shriek OF its siren just before reach
ing the street intersection.
postmaster Collins had just ioined
Mr.. Nuttall in his machine and was
just starting for home and luncheon.
when the heavy fire apparatus plunp.
ed around the corner, swinging wide.
and crashed into the little Oakland

Both occupants of the machine were
bruised and shaken by the impact. but
fortunately escaped serious injury.
lhe car, as stated, was badly wreck
ed. 1t was caromed into a Ford
coupe standing at the curb, and the
latter machine was piled up on the
side walk but not so badly damaged
Inc Lexington sport car parked a few
1eet further along was struck and
damaged.
scores of citizens who saw the ac-
cldent, if it can be called such. were
unmeasured in their denunciation of
the reckless manner and the excessive
speed at which the fire machine was
driven on its way back to the house.
II Is pointed out that on a return from,
answering an alarm, there was abso-
lutely no necessity for greater speed
than is allowed the ordinary motor
vehicle in the heart of the down town
traffic, and that turning corners un-
der such circumstances at more than
few miles an hour was flagrant dis
regard of the law and the rights and
the lives of property not only of 9th
er motorists, but pedestrians as well.
Steps are TO be taken, it is said, be-
fore the Board of City Trustees to put
stop to speeding up ON returns from
fires in the future and for the proper
discipline of the men responsible fos
the accident of today. 1t is also prob
able that the city will have pretty
claim for damages to null over be-
cause of today's incident in the ordin-
airy life of the firemen.

BIG RANCHES ONLY MEMORY
Progress of Civilization Has Done
Away With the Picturesque Life
of the Old West.

The big horse ranches have virtual
ly gone out of existence with the
passing of the Long X in Montana,
says the Christian Science Monitor.
The big cattle ranch long since sue
cumbed to the onward march of the
sheep ranger and the wired fence. and
1t was felt to be only a matter of
time before the horse ranch would
follow suit.
In this connection it is interesting
TO recall the circumstance that
though the horse was unknown on
the American continent when the Span
iardS arrived, prehistoric evidences of
the animal have been discovered in
both North and South America. The
Indians, who had domesticated the
llama, the alpaca, and the dog, knew
nothing of the horse, and were aston
ished by the sight of the strange and
unfamiliar animals which the newcom-
ers rode. Yet, with their introduc-
ton by the white races, horses which
escaped soon ran wild and flourished
on the same ranges where their an
Client cousins had apparently lived,
showing how well the country was
suited to their needs. There are a
few ranches today in the West where
the rug in the principal room may be
the hide of a wild horse, found in
Nevada or in Arizona canyons.

The Ancient Writers.

The excellence Of the ancient writ
ers does not consist in trick thar
can be learned, but in a perfect adap-
tation of means to ends. The secret
of the style of the great Greek and
Roman authors is that it is the per
lection of good sense. In the first
place, they never use a word without
a meaning, or word which adds
nothing to the meaning; they knew
what they wanted to say, and their
whole purpose was to say it with the
highest degree of eXactness and COM
pleteness, and bring it home to the
mind with the greatest possible clear
ness and vividness The ancients
were concise because of the extreme
pains they took with their epithets
almost all mOderns are prolix because
they do not. The great ancients could
express a thought so perfectly in a
few words or sentences, that they did
not need to add any more.-John
Stuart Mill.

King Louis XIV of France fell In

of Nesle. The first was not a beauty,
but she was n clever woman and a
good dresser. Her reign ended after
three years, when her younger sister
appeared. The kings devotion to the
hrst sister was secret until Louis,
after indulging too heavily In cham

was so disguised by his condition that
she ordered him to leave her pres

after her success. Then the third

love with a young nobleman, refused
to listen to the king. Louis sent his
rival to war, but the young man came
back wounded, and hero. A young
woman of great beauty was instructed
to WOO the kings rival, which she did
so effectively that his passionate let
tiers to her were sent to the king, who
promptly showed them to Nine. de la

This crafty plot was successful,
and the ambitious favorite, after in
sisting that her sister should be sent
away, was given an official place at

What He Liked,

Mr.. T. had visited the d. family
long enough to find that they were
strong on culture but weak on COM
forts, such as sufficient supply of
hot water, food and even heat. One
cold night he shivered in the living
room while the members of the family
held a discussion on their pet hobbies.
One said that she dearly loved great
paintings" another professed IA fond
ness for great works of literature"
and the third spoke eloquently on
great works of sculptors"
Finally it came the guests time to
converse. He shivered minute and
then gave a feeble smile. Right
now he said earnestly, Il have de-

Thermometer Scales.

There are several different systems
Of dividing the thermometer scale. The
one in common use in all English
speaking countries Is the Fahrenheit.
In this the boiling point is 212 de-
grees, and the freezing point 30 de
grees above zero. In the Centigrade
thermometer, the freezing point is tax
en- as the zero. and the boiling point
is reckoned at 100 degrees. 1t will
thus be seen that the 100 degrees on
the Centigrade scale and the $50 de-
grees (212 minus 32) on the Fahren-
heit scale rlresent the same differ
ence, in temperature namely that be-
tween boiling point and freezing point

IN TIGHT CORNER
Trapper Tells How II Feels to Be
Trapped.
Bear Hunter Experienced Uneomfort
able Night in Snare He Had Pre-.
pared for Ferocious Old Grizzly.

"Old Nose" was one of the most fe
rocious bears in the Rockies. He was
a notorious bad actor" according to
Mr.. a. l.. Corson in the Wide World
Magazine, and foiled all attempts tc
shoot or trap him. Indeed, he seemed
to have a charmed life.
On one occasion man named Han.
cock tried to trap him. In placing
the bait inside the trap. Hancock ac.
cidentally touched the trigger, and the
logs came down and imprisoned him
He tried to pry the heavy timbers
apart, but found that he could not
shift them an inch. From one side of
the trap to the other he went, uncon.
sciously initiating the movements
Bruln would have made in hunting
for weak point. All his efforts were
frultless.
The pangs of hunger were now COM
ing on, and night was near. Hancock
scraped up some chips and twigs, made
fire and roasted part of the deer
that he had brought to bait the trap
with. Being lightly dressed, he suf-
fered keenly from the cold night air.
He lay down on the ground, but sud-
denly he heard shifting sounds out
side and detected, by the dim light of
the moon, dark form gazing through
the chinkS between the logs. Hancock
felt safe, although his gun was stand
ing by a tree some distance from the
hnGn-fnr oil
seemed to realize the fact.
Knowing his savage nature, Han
cock withdrew to the other side of the
trap as the big form rose up on his
hind legs. He could feel the bears
hot breath surging through between
the logs upon his face; and, fearing
that the brute would thrust his claws
in, he kept moving from side to side.
Daylight came at last, and Nose
trotted off. Again Hancock built a
fire and cooked the rest of the deer
meat. He almost decided to set one
end of the trap on fire and burn his
way out. But what if he were I'M
able to control the blaze? If he could
reach his rifle, he would be in posi-
ton to shoot his way out, for he had
a belt full of cartridges.
His horse, tired of standing round,
had long ago made for home.
The next morning, the neighbors,
seeing Hancock's horse in the yard,
surmised that the OUTLAW of the Rock
les" had secured another victim. Sew
eeral cattlemen started out in search
of Hancock. In the middle of the
afternoon they heard shooting, but at
first they could see nothing.
Hancock had torn his shirt into
strips, making a rope about 20 feet
long. He had then tied two stones
to string about a yard long and fas-
tened one end of the long line to the
middle. Then he threw the stones
out between the cracks of his prison
toward the rifle. After two hours
of practice he was able to drag the
gun within reach. He then tried des-
perately to ut his way out by shoot
ing holes through a log about a foot
in diameter. Before he got very far
his comrades had located the shots
and released him.
