Barnes in the Burlington eating house in this city, must servo a lite sentence in tho penitentiary, tho su preme court having affirmed tho deci sion of tho district court of Box Uuttn county in a decision handed down last Friday morning. Judge Reese wrote the opinion. "Leroy Barnes was shot and killed January 29, 1907. He was in charge of tho lunch county at the railroad de pot. Leroy's father had brought May nard from Denver to work for him. After Mnynard had worked six nights the young man found that some of his money was missing and as ho learned that Mayuard was spending money with a free hand in tho saloons ho accused Mnynard of tho theft and asked for a return of tho money. Barnes attempted to take? 10 from Mnynard, but he was unsuccessful. Maynard went to a hardware store, purchased a pistol and cartridges, went to the lunch room about 4:30 in tho afternoon of tho day he was discharged and demanded an npron aud jacket that he had there. Barnes commanded him to get out nnd took hold of May nard and pushed him out. Maynard immediately turned and fired with fatal effect. Malice on tho part of defendaut was inferred nnd tho court holds that tho instructions of tho lower court on this point were not erroneous. Tho instruc tions arc generally held not to indicate prejv lice on the part of tho court. Tho instruction in regard to self-defence which was objected to by Maynard is held to be not erroneous. It was held that there was no proof that at tho time of the tragedy the ac cused was so far intoxicated that he could not the held responsiblo'for his acts. While it was disclosed by the evidence that the deceased committed a number of assualts upon the accused, no assault had been made immediately prior to the time the deceased was killed and it is held that these facts as matter of law afford no defense to tho charge of murder, although they might be considered in mitigation, tho essen tial elements at that time having been iound by the jury to exist nt the time tho deceased was killed." Theodore Curry Dead. Theodore Curry, a well-known young man of this rcity, died last Sunday morning at 2:30, at his room in the Fox" rooming house, of dropsy. He had just returned the Friday previous from Hot Springs, where he hoped, without avail, to secure relief. The young man had been failing for several months. He has an uncle, Abner Cur ry, living in the country northeast of Alliance, where the remains were taken and tho funeral occurred last Monday nftcrnon, the body being interred in Libby cemetery, near by. Theodore Curry was an old resident of this county, where he was raised and was 31 years of age at the time of his death. His father resides in tho state ot Washington, but was not able to be present at the funeral. Deceased was for some time prior to his illness, clerk at the Charters hotel and proved a most popular employe. Rev. Jeffers conducted tho funeral services and the popularity of the young man was attested by the large number of friends who attended the fu neral, 31 teams being in line, besides many on horseback.
