Was Ever True By Scripps News Association New York Mav 1 Abraham Levy, cheif council for Nan Patterson began summing up lor tbe evidence this morning m Recorder GoS's court, Tbe court room was crowded for what is thrught may be' tbe last day of the famous trial. He said , "If the prose cution does not prove Morgan Smith bought tbe pistol , it is not for the de fense to prove that be did not. If tbe proB60ution has failed to prove a mo tive for the killing of Young, the de fense is not called upon to prove that the motive did not exist." Attorney Levy makes tbe charge that, though Young seduced tha defendant, there was no evidence to show that she was ever untrue to him. ' RETURN WITH SCALPS TATE . FUNERAL .

This association ia made necessary from the fact that stock "metiers" have been operating in this valley to an extent which calls for some stringent regulations. It is firmly believed that this association will take the proper steps to at . least cause tbe stock stealing business . to bj somewhat dangerous as well as in teresting. The Association djea not inteud to leave any stone unturned which will in any way . impede . the successful progress of the - class ol men who make life a burden to the honest stock grower. Every oase of stock loss will ' be re ported to tbe Association and no ex pense will be spared to ferret, out and discover tbe cause of the lots and J the parties responsible for tbe loss. If it thought by' the . Association that stock has been stolen, or run off the range tbe poisons found to be respon sible will receive prompt attention at the bands ol the law and tbe associa tion will lend its self to the officer with what information it may have at Its command and ' all ' the funds necessary to jnforoe .the ! law.
