Le agton Court Will Dispose Of Local
\ Cases First-Tillman Was
Arraigned.
James H Tilliman, on Monday
next,, 'will be placed on trial for the
murder of Narviio 0 Gonzales.
Judge Frank 13. Gary at Lexington
on londay nadin his first. ruling in
.this all absorbing cas. The conten
tion was whRther the.mase should be
.\rderrd for fiial this week or begin
next Monday. Lexington's grand
jury, county officers and lawyers in
sisted that the business of the county
should firat.be disposed of, and that
it would takb at least all of the pres
ent week to bandle the strictly local
cases. The local attorniYs, most of
whom are of counsel for Tillman, in.
sisted that for economic reasons local
cases should be first heard, and that
the Tillman case should not. be inter
larded at an expense to t he county.
Early on Monday, the opening day
'f the Lexington court, it was evi
dent that the defence, for some rea
son, wished the case to ie set for
Monday next, and it was equally as
evident that the prosiection prefer.
red to get into the case with as litt-e
delay as possible. Council for the
defence argued that they were anx
ions to go to trial, and th sooner the
better they would like it, but three
of their counsel, who also happen to
be members of the Lexington Bar,
took tb'e position that, independent
of the Tillanu case, they insistel
upon first. completing the locil work,
and then taking up the case froin a
sister count y, and (iat tho Lxingto
cases would take all i ho week, whet her
a few were contiined o- not.
ALLEMIE CHOICE OF .111MR9lES.
It was sUggested, whether with
reason or not, that next week's jury
suited the defence bettor than that
of this wteek, bi-t many intist, that
there is no essential difference ini the
jury, and connsl for the defence di
rectly contended .t hat t he request o
fix the trial for next Monday caime
from the grand jury, the local Bar
and thse county oflicers.
Solicitor Thurmbd urged that
there would be no loss of time or
r money to Lexington inl fixing the
trial for yesterday (Thursda) ), and
if the local cases were not then con
eluded, and he thon'ght, they would
be certainly by Friday, that it would
be best to fix some day ihis week for
the CasU to begin.
James H-. Tillman waived tle ttie
on arraignmiet and it wias agreed
*hat he would not claim his three
days' t.imn when the case is called on
Monday, in lieu of his waivinrg thle
arraignmienit, arid unless 'here is some
other cause for delay the thbree days'

Wm. Elliott, Jr., E. L. ARbill and
T. 0. Sturkie.
Although the case has been fixed
for hearing on next. Monday, the-LI
still seems to be something in the ait'
which makes many believe that the
case will aot actually be taken up on
Monday.
FIVE LOCAL MURDER CASES.
Counsel for both sidqH insist that
they are eager for the trial to begin
and to get through with the strain,
and there may be nothing whatever
in the suggestion that something will
happen which will for the third time
postpone th1e hearing ol the esse,
which is atractiig such universal
attention. There are six murder
cases to be tried at this term of tho
court here, including the Tillman
case.

THE RRESIDENT'S PISTOL.
Mr. Roosevelt Never Goes In Public With
out, It In His Pocket.
A Now York dispatch to the Wash
ington Post. says: When President
Roosevelt. jumped to t-he wharf at
Ellis Island from the immigration
cutter H. B. Chamberlain this after
noon, and ran forward.to shake hands
with Commissioner General Frank
P. Sargent, a gust of wind caught
the skirts of his frock coat and whirled
thom against the back of his head.
Those standing behind the presi
dent saw a sight that evoked much
comment. Sticking out of his right
band hip pocket was the handle of a
revolver. One of the secret service
men quickly restored the skirts of
the president's coat to their proper
placo, but. the momnotary glimpse
the spectators had convinced those
familiar with such matters, that the
handle indicated a weapon of heavy
caliber.
Those unfamiliar with the presi
dent's custom wondered why he
sihould go armed when oil it coimis
sion so peaceful as an inspection of
Ellis Island. It was explained by
one of the secret service men, how
ever, that the president invariably
carries a revolver when ho goes to a
public place.
The president has carriod a pistol
every since he took theoath of office,
after the assassination of McKinley.
He has the greatest faith in the abil
ity of the qozen or more of secret
service agents who guard him, but
preffers to I armie(d himslf in case
of Einorgioicy. HIis rnost int izmat.e
friends hav kmowi of* his practice
of carrying a six-shooter, but some
the secret service men looked sur
prised when they saw the handle
protruding from t lie president's
pocket today.
Professor's Retort.
When off duty Prof. Richards, of
Yale, enjoys a joke, and his pupils
often come to him when they have
heard a now one. He adds to the
fun sometimes with a witticism of
his own. Such was the case when
one of the students perpetrated the
following antiquity:
"Professor, wouldn't you like a
good receipt for catching a rabbit ?"
"Why, yes," replied the Professor.
"What. is ity"
"Well, you crouch down behind a
thick stoiie wall ad make a noise
like a turnip," answered thbe youth,
giggling ini ecstasy.
Q nick an a fla'ih hame the reply:
"O t better way than that would
be for you to go anod sit quietly in a
bed of cabblage heads and1 look
natural."
