Legally Dead, Jersey
Gives Slayer ‘Birth’
Trenton, N. J.—Legal resuscitation
of a legally dead murderer has been
accomplished by the New Jersey legis
lature in the passage by both houses of
a bill introduced by Senator Allen, of
Salem county. Governor Edwards has
indicated he will sign the measure.
The man ‘ returned to life” bv legis
lative enactment is Archibald Heron,
of Middlesex county, sentenced to death
fourteen years ago for the slaying of
Rev. S. L>. L). Priekett, of Metuchen,
who was a police recorder. Heron was
arraigned before him on a charge of
drunkenness, and Priekett fined him
$10. Heron was angered bv the iiDe,
and the following clay went to the re
cord r's house and fatally shot Priekett
a> the latter emerged from his home.
Heron was tried and convicted within
thirteen days after the crime. His
counsel then began a light for his free
dom.
On the contention that if Heron was
not insane at the time he killed the
minister he became insane immediate
ly afterwards, and’that the state could
not execute an iDsane man, the electro
cution was several times stayed and
ultimately the final date set for his exe
cution had passed. His lawyer then
fought oil' Heron's execution on the
ground that he was ‘‘legally dead.”
The matter was referred to Attorney
General McCran, who had the Allen
bill drawn. The bill refers solely to
Heron, and provides that if, upon ex
amination, it is found that Heron is
insane, he shall be transferred from
prison to the state insane hospital, and
if he later is found sane he shall be re
sentenced to death at once and exe
ented.
Suicide Effort Foiled By Skirts.
Chicago.—Mrs. Jeau Truedell, de
spondent, attempted to commit suicide
Friday afternoon, but. despite her des
perate efforts to end ht r life, she was
saved bv her Haring coat and skirts,
which acted as a life preserver. The
woman floated down the river for more
than a block beiore she was pulled out
of the water. When Mrs. Truedell
jumped from the Van Buren street
bridge her coat and skirts Hared out,
filling with air. The air holding in
the^folds of the skirts held her on the
surface. As she floated past the Har
rison street bridge, a tender caught
her with a grappling hook.

Mysterious Showers of
Rock Baffle Chico, Cal.
Chico, Cal.—Showers of rock that
fall "from the clouds” on a warehouse
here have baffled the police, neighbors
and various official and unofficial inves
tigators. Friday ,1. W. Charge, owner
of the warehouse, posted the offer of a
reward of $200 to the person revealing
the source of the rocks.
While the town marshal and a com
mittee of newspapermen and others
were examining the corrugated iron
| roof Thursday a shower of large smooth
I rocks fell, sending the investigators
I scurrying for cover. Others, standing
on the street at the time, declared the
I rocks seemed to come straight from the
j clouds.
MULES.
By (J. Edward ('one.
“Bard of ihe Kuskokwim."
There’s no animal in history.
From the ancients down to now.
That has held its reputation
For viciousness, 1 vow,
Like that cunning combination
Of trickster, sage and fool,
The hero of a thousand tales—
The meek and sad-eved mule.
There’s the mule that’s striped legged.
With a dark line down its back.
And a hornet’s disposition
That would sure your patience rack;
There’s the dumb, old, hones; fellow
That you used to ride to school,
Till he dumped you in the gutter,
Just because he was a mule.
From New Orleans clear up to Texas
There's another kind that thrives—•
He’s the low-down creature.
The kind the nigger drives.
But of all the kinds and classes
That defv the bonds of rule,
Is that prohibition monster,
The untamed big white mule.
Billy Jones, from Ophir. arrived '
yesterday, bringing the Yukon mail.
Frank Larson, of Tacoma, arrived
