JORQON IS FOUND
Adjudged Uuiltjr of liie Murder of
Joseph Iayton, jm1 In (liven
a Life Term
MAY HB C.IVKN NHW TIUAI,
After ninety minutes of delibera
tion, the Jury in the case of William,
alias "Dan", Jordan, In district court
at Scottsbluff Monday returned a rer
dlct finding the defendant guilty of
the murder of hia son-in-law, Joseph
Layton, at the Laylon home near
Scottsbluff, on June 11 of this year.
A sentence of life imprisonment was
Immediately pronounced.
Jordan took the conviction and
sentence coolly and his wife and
daughter, the latter the wife of the
murdered man, evinced little emo
tion when the verdict whs returned.
Both women are hold as accessories
in tho crime. Attorneys for the de
fense have not Indicated what their
next movo will be, although it Is pos
sible that a inotlou for a now trial
will be filed. ' '
According to the toHtimony intro
duced, Jordan and his wife and
daughter and Lay ton, together with
Esther Catlett, a domestic, were seat
ed in the Layton kitchen. Jordan Is
alleged to have left the room and to
have fired through the window, In
stantly killing Layton. An attempt
to pain possession of the murdered
man's property is supposed to have
been the motive of the crime. A rifle
hlden in the hay mow was proved to
be Jordan's property although ho de
nied ownership. Witnesses were
brought from hia old home In Calif
ornia to testify that the weapon was
In hia possession when he left there
for Nebraska nearly a year ago.
At the time of the Layton murder
'n Juno feeling ran so high that Jor
dan was brought to the Lancaster
county jail and was Inter taken to
tho state penitentiary for safe keep
ing. Jordan stoutly asserted his in
nocence, and officers and newspaper
men who talked with him declare
him to be the coolest man ; hey ever
met under similar circumstances.
Jordan was brought, through Alli
ance several weeks ago on his way
from Lancaster to Scottsbluff to
stand trial. At that time he was In
terviewed by a Herald reporter, to
who mho emphatically abseiled his
Innocence and slated that the gun
found in the hay mow was not his
property and that lie had never seen
it. Al thai tU.e he seemed little
concerned over the probable outcome
although when asked leading ques
tions bearing on tho case ho became
very nervous.

QUALITY TO BE CULTIVATED
Not Alteoether a Matter of Curiosity
In Asking a Wom?n If "She Is
Vain Enough."
That may seem a st ranee question
to ask most women, for, according to
the opinions of the other sex, we pos
sess all the vainglorious tendencies of
the peacock, and then some; but there
are women, and we all know them,
who are not vain enough. They really
could not care about their personal
appearance, or they would not let the
wisps of hair float unrestrained about
otherwise half-dressed coiffures, or
noses go shiny when the least dab of
powder would remedy matters. It is
not so much one's personal appearance
that counts, for, after all, such people
will tell you that they would rather
tako tho time for improving their
souls or their minds, or something
equally intangible; but one should re
member that one owes a certain
amount of visible personal charm to
ono's neighbors; that even if you do
not caro whether your hair lies flat and
unbecoming on your head, other peo
ple get some pleasure out of seeing
you .with a lluffy, prettily arranged
coiffure. Again, there is a psychologi
cal effect from well grooming. A good
complexion, beautiful hands and nails,
becomingly arranged hair, a good,
erect figure all act upon one's man
ners. A wave in the nair will take
the kinks out of one's disposition. So
cultivate enough vanity to make you
always look your best and to empha
size your own good points.

But Manufacturer Got What He Want
ed and Paid for Knowledge
Chemist Had Acquired.
A manufacturer of some ratent com
pound came into tho laboratory of an
analytical chemist one day with a bot
tle containing an unwholesome-looking
mixture.
"I would give $100," he said, 'to
know what would make the water and
oil in this mixture separate."
The chemist looked at the bottle.
"Very well," he said, "write out your
check.'
"Check?" th'3 other echoed.
"Yes, your check for $100. You soy
you are willing to give that, and for
that price 1 am willing to tell you
what will make the water and oil sep
arate." Tho visitor hesitated a moment, and
then wrote a cheek for tho sum named.
The chemist carefully deposited it in
his pocket lKok, and then quietly
drorped i- to the liquid a pinch of
common salt.
Instantly the water and oil separ
ated, and whether the client was sat
isfied or not. he had got what he want
ed and be bad paid his ov.n price for
It.

Legend of Belgian Lacemakers.
Once upon a tuna there was a girl,
a dark-eyed Venetian girl, who had a
lover all Venetian girls had, ome
upon a tune. She vtts a lacemaker, ne
was a sai'.or; und ono duy when lie
had just returned frum ilia Indian seas
she showed him the laco she had been
making. Thereupon he tossed into her
lap a wonderfully delicate piece of
coral and told her it was laco the mer
maids wove in their caves deep under
the sea.
And when he had gone again she set
herself to weave her bridal veil; after
the pattern of the coral she wove.
Filmy seaweed, fluted shells, tiny sea
horses and 6tar(ish grew under her
hand until at last the veil was finished
and it was time for her lover to return.
TbU is a reel story, so he came hack,
and tlicy were married, she in the veil

Weeping Trees.
Ono of the wonders of plant life Is
the weeping tree of the Canary
islands. It is of tho laurel family, and
rains down a copious shower of wa
ter drops from its tufted foliage. This
water is often collected at t'ie foot
of tha tree and forms a kind of pond,
from which the inhabitants of the
neighborhood can supply themselves
with a beverage that is absolutely
fresh and pure.
Tho water comes out of tho tree
Itself through innumerable little pores
situnted at the margin of the leaves.
It issues from the plant as vapor eur
ing the daytime, when the heat is suf
ficiently great to preserve it in that
condition; hut in the evening, when
the temperature has lowered very
much, a considerable quantity of it is
exuded in the form Qf liquid drops
that collect near the edges of the
leaves until these members so bend
down that the tears tumble off on
the ground below in a veritable
shower.
Who She Was.
He was a new clerk in the 6tore,
and was completely flustered when
confronted by a frilly, fluffy young
woman whose beauty so dazzled nim
that he allowed her to buy a large Dill
of dry goods and depart after order
ing the purchase charged to her, but
without giving her name.
"Whom are you goicg to charge
those goods to?" asked the depart
ment manager. "What was her
name?"
"Why, Miss. Miss. Miss" stam
mered the clerk, as he scratched his
head.
"Just miscellaneous. I guess," the
boss cut in sarcastically.
