The unfortunate man had taken an appeal to a tribunal higher and more just than earthly courts can be. It is to be hoped that the last great arbitriment may be merciful. Temple killed himself Friday after- noon by casting himseif before an in- coming San Jose train. He was ground to Dieces. There were three charges in Judge Mogan’s court against Temple. He was d of battery on Miss May Cadoza and on Miss Marjorie McLennan, and an additional charge of disturbing the peace was lodged against him.

Somewhere in the dim and dis- tant past, which measured in the epochs of the Police Courts means about three | weeks ago, Thomas Turner took a knife and slashed B.

Reno, Nev., has the distinction of be- ing the only city in that State which can, under present laws, maintain a public library by taxation. Cities with less than 5000 population cannot thus establish libraries. The work on the new Carnegie building is progressing rapidly. One thousand volumes, ordered for the beginning of the libra- ry, are expected to be ready for use when the building is finished, about March 1st. A notable bequest of $200,000 has re- cently been made to Webster City, Iowa, a place of 5000 population. By the will of Kendall Young, the sum of | $25,000 is to be devoted to the erecllon of a fireproof library building. The remainder of $175,000 is to be invested for a perpetual endowment of the li- brary. This is the largest legacy left in late years to any city in Iowa. ————————— Legal Light for Laymen.
