H Bowden, a wealthy resident of Betes county, who complained that had been victimmzed ina land On trinl, He has been here today aud employed eminent counsel to bring suit against Mr Bowden for $10,000 damages The Eldorado Sun, bas the follow ing to say of the trial and acquittal of West: “It was a battle royal be tween the attorneys and every inch of the ground was stubboruly eon tested by the counsel on both sides, but the defendant wor and was ac quitted; but there are many of our people who believe that the testi mony dieclosed an array of facts that indicated tha: there was strong probability that h+ was a party to the conspiracy cf defrauding Mr Bowden. His close a-sociation witb Beuson, one of the guilty parties to West was acquitted the transaction, anda rcumber of SSBVVSBISS IOS OGGLINOK 0OSG SBOOHOOSOGKSOS COCO other facts that were developed, be- got the conviction in the minds of many that West was a party to the transaction. In a preliminary ex- amination, the Jaw requires that when there is evidence that indicates that there isa probability that the accused committed the crime charged that be should be bound over to await the action of the grand jury. We believe that the evidence in thie case iodicated that there was a probability of guilt upon the part of West, and we believe that he should have been held for a furtber exam ination of tbe matter by the grand jury. Swindles, of the kind charzed io this, are becoming too frequent, and‘we are glad to observe that there is a healthy public sentiment being aroused in favor of inflicting the full penalties of the law against this class of offenders and miscreants DEMAS’ NOMINATION REJECTED. If Wimberly Is Appointed He, Too, Will Fail of Confirmation. Washington, Dec. 4 —It is appar- ent now that the Senate will reject the nomination of Heary Demas, the colored lieutenant of Mark Hanna who was appoioted Naval Officer for the Port of New Orleans. Demas took charge of the office during the summer, but wil! have to relinquish it as soon as his nomination is reject- ed by the Senate. The Democratic Senators will oppose him unanimous- ly, because of serious charges; and many of Reed's friends will co-oper ate. In fact, tho latter will lead the fight on Demae because of alleged party treachery to Reed, with more serious disqualifications. Wimberly has receiyed a definite promise from McKinley that he shall have the Collectorship. McKinley told him that eventually he would nomiuate him, and itis expected that the nomination will bs made in December. No one expects Wim- berly’s confirmation, however. He will fall with his partner, Demas, from the same causes, and through the same opposing influences. f. B. Soper Convicted. Harrisonville, Mo, Dec. 4.—The case of the State vs E. B. Soper was submitted to the jury at 6 p. m. yesterday. The jury was out all night and ustil 10o0’clock this morn- ing, when the verdict was brought in. It read thue: “We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of murder in the first degres.” Not a tremor paeced over the face of the prisoner as the verdict wae read. His sister, who was the only relative present, was overcome with grief.
