MANDAMUS REFUSED.
Convicted Italians Must Appeal on
Bills of Exception.

The Supreme Court, after an.
hours deliberation, refused the writ
of mandamus asked for by the at
torneys of the six Italians convicted
at Amite City of the murder of Dali
las Gaines, to compel Judge Robert
S. Ellis to permit the filing of
supplemental petition for a new trial
in the case. Any application to the
Supreme Court must now be made
in the usual form of an appeal for
a new trial based on alleged denial
of the constitutional rights of the
accused either through admission or
omission of evidence or points of
law. The petition asking that the
writ issue, charged among other
things, that the judge erred in re-
fusing to recuse himself in the sec
ond trial; erred in refusing to refer
to another motion to recuse himself
in change of venue; erred in per-
hitting certain evidence to go into
the record; erred in refusing to give
special charges to the jury request
! ed by counsel of the defense.
The petition recited that crowds
had collected about the courthouse
requiring the combined efforts of the
| district judge and the sheriff and his
deputies to keep the crowd from in
tiicting violence upon the defendants.
The alleged intimidation of a juror,
who claimed that his fellow urors
advised him that unless a verdict of
guilty should be returned, he, the
juror in question and the other ju-
rors would be lynched by the angry
populace, and the other alleged in
cldent of one Of the jurors, prior to
belng drawn on the jury, having of
tered to wager that the murderers
would be convicted, were also related
in the petition

is a lamentable state of affairs to
see strong and able-bodied men ca
pablo of earning their livelihood by
the sweat of their brows, lurking
around corners and other places
waiting for their prey. These cheap
sports should be taken up as vag-
railts and put to work cutting weeds.

THE OMAHA BEE

The Omaha Bee, one of the great
metropolitan dailies of the land, re-
Gently paid tribute to the country
weekly correspondent in the editorial
reprinted below. We run it without
comment, except to suggest that our
readers call it to the attention of
such of their own correspondents who
may figure their position a little
lacking in dignity. The editorial,
under the heading Humble but
Highly Honorable" was as follows:
Several of our contemporaries are
carrying as front page item a dis.
patch from Parsons, Kan, which
reads:
Although the first lady of the
state in prospect, Mrs. Jonathan
M. Davis, is not letting it inter-
fere with her duties as rural cor
| respondent for the Bourbon
County News. This week the
News carries the Bronson items,
with Mrs. Davis name at the
head
First lady of the state forsooth,
may be the governors wife, but she
shows her excellent taste in holding
on to the job of writing the neighbor-
hood chronicles for the hometown
weekly. Nothing could add to the
Importance of that position. Hum
blest position, perhaps in the army
Of journalism, yet honorable, and vital
to the success of the enterprise.
ut is the country correspondent
who tells when 81 Hoskins goes to
town, or when his baby requires the
service of the doctor, or his daughter
runs off with the hired man. Also,
when Sis prize pig gets blue rib
bon or his wife goes to dance at the
schoolhouse; when anything happens
or doesn't happen, the neighborhood
correspondent tells about it. If it is
sufficiently imposing, the local editor
takes it up, and, if beyond his power,
the metropolitan reporter is called
on the job, and, if the event is of ma
tion-wide scope, the Associated Press
sends one of its impartial news writ
ers to take care of events.
"But it is the neighborhood CORE
spondent who first plows up the in
formation, and gives the impetus that
moves the whole world of journalism.
The first lady of the state will
never be more useful in Topeka than
she was in gathering up the gossip
and chat around her home section for
the paper she served as neighborhood
correspondent at Parsons"

LEGALLY EXPRESSED

A lawyer thus illustrates the Ian.
guage of his craft: IF man were
to give another an orange, he would
simply say: Have an orange But
when the transaction is intrusted to
a lawyer to put in writing he adopts
this form: 4 hereby give and con-
vey to you, all and singular, my es-
tate and interests, right, title, claim
and advantages Of and in said orange
together with, all its rind, juice, pulp
and pips, and all rights and advan-
tages therein, with full power to bite,
cut, suck, and otherwise eat the same
or give the same away with or with
out the rind, skin. juice, pulp or pips,
anything hereinbefore or hereinafter
or in any other means of whatever
nature or kind whatsoever to the con-
trary in anywise notwithstanding.

Eyes. few" replied Dick; and he
laughed a little. 1t was on his lips
then to tell her about some of the
famous games In which he had par
ticipated. But he refrained from ex-
plotting himself. There was little,
however, of the color and sound and
cheer, Of the violent action and rush
and battle incidental to a big college
football game that he did not succeed
In making Mercedes and Nell feel Just
as II they had been there. They hung
breathless and wide-eyed upon his
words.
Some one else was present at the
latter part of Dicks narrative. The
moment he became aware Of Mrs.
Beldings presence he remembered
fancying he had heard her call. and
now he was certain she had done so.
Mercedes and Nell. however, had been
and still were oblivious to everything
except Dicks recital. He saw Mrs.
Bedding cast strange, intent glance
upon Nell. then turn and go silently
through the patio.
Dick was haunted by the strange ex-
preston he had caught on Mrs. Beld-
ing's face. especially the look In her
eyes. 1t had been one of repressed
pain liberated in flash of certainty.
The mother had seen how far he had
gone on the road of love. Perhaps she
had seen more-even more than he
dared hope.

clearly, and then he had to make an
effort to think. He was dizzy. When
he essayed to lift his right arm, an
excruciating pain made him desist
Then he discovered that his arm was

Dick tried to sit up, but his effort
was failure. He got about half up.
then felt himself weakly aiding back.
II guess-rm pretty SICK" he said.
He saw Belding lean over him, feel
his face, and speak. and then every
thing seemed to drift, not into dark
ness. but Into some region where he
had dim perceptions Of gray moving
things. and of voices that were re-
mote. Then there came an interval
when all was blank. When he again
Enclosed his eyes the room was sunny,
and cool with fragrant breeze that
blew through the open door. Dick
felt better; but he had no particular
desire to move or talk or eat.
On the next day he was very much
improved.

"Shore It's tough" said Ladd, after
he had greeted Dick. "You look used

Jim Lash waeged his half-bald,

"Gale. Laddy tells me one of our

she had red rose in her hand. She
