Nashville Students In nedford.
It is necessary to say out little re
garding these celebrated ouiorcd vocal
ists; they have attained an almost world
wide reputation. After years of atudy
these sludunUi started out to reproduce
the quaint, mirthful and melodious
songs of tbo negro and to show the
darkey's characteristics without cari
cature, but in a manner truly Instruc
tive und amusing to an. ineir aucceaa
has been phenomln-.il: they have enter
tained people in nearly every city and
town of this country und Canada, and
for years the mere announcement that
the Nashville Students are coming is
sutlioient to cause the public to turn
out, anxious to welcome these people
and liaton to their mualo which waa
once so common, but with the uplifting
of tho colored race has so rapidly dis
appeared, and the genuine reproduc
tion of whioh is only given by this com
pany. During the past Boason this fa
mous com puny has appeared in nearly
all the large lyueum courses in both
east and west and they will all testify
to the great merit of their performances.

Charged with Shipping Deerskins.
On Monday night of thlB week Wm.
Ulrich was arrested by W. G. Kropke,
deputy game warden, charged with
transporting deer eklna. Jury trial
was bad Tuesday afternoon in Justice
Stewart'e court, and after an afternoon
and evening session the jury, composed
of W. T. Kame, E. N. Warner, C. I.
Hutchiaon, W. T. York and F. W.
Wait, found a verdiot of not guilty. The
evidence aa Introduced at the trial was
in substance aa follows: On Saturday
of last week Mr. Ulrich, who is secre
tary aud manager ol tbe southern Ore
gon Pork Packing Co., instructed Dray
man Shearer to go to tbe packing house
and get six barrels of packing house
products and bring them to the South
ern Pacific depot. Mr. Shearer went
lo the packing bouse and found the Blx
barrels and either on one of tbe barrels
or near by, a ehipping bill. This it ap
peared waa the custom when goods
were to be shipped to fill out tbe ahlp
olncr bill and leave It with the goods.
Tbe shipping bill in question called for
two barrels of corned beef and four bar
rels of dried shin bones. These Mr.
Shearer loaded onto hie dra v and deliv
ered them at the depot, tbe same being
billed to Uodge, bweeney uo., ban
FranclBco. The treieht cleric, L,ln
Purdin. received the goods but in mak
ing out his waybill could find no freight
classification for "dried shin bones."
Agent Lippincott, udoo being asked
regarding the classification, became a
little suspicious and commenced an In
veatigation. Upon the witness stand
he testified that upon inspecting tbe
contents of one of the barrels he discov
ered deer skins. Mr. Maboney, night
operator at the depot, and Mr. Purdin
testified to having made an investiga
tion of ail four or vne tjarrsta ana louna
that all of them contained deer skrro.
Mr, Lit pincott notified Mr. Ulrich that
he could not receive the four oarreis
for shipment and Mr. Shearer took
tbem away. The oarreis were the Kind
commonly used for holding lard and
were headed up tightly at each end and
weighed about Ho pounds each. A
search warrant was issued Monday and
a search of the packing house and ad
iacent buildings waa made but the bar
rels tn question were noi louno. xne
evidence seemed conclusive that deer
skins had been barreled, billed as dry
shin bones and offered for shipment at
tbe southern racitic aepot, oui me
argument whieh the defense laid most
stress upon was that no evidenoe had
been introduced to snow tnat wm.
Ulrioh Der8onallv made tbe shipment
but that instead, if such shipment had
been made, or attempted, it waa made
by tbe Southern Oregon Pork Packing
Company, by Wm. Ulrioh as their
agent, and again defense dwelled long
upon tbe faot that Win. Ulrich, person
ally, did not transport the skins from
the packing house to the depot. Of
oouree theBe were only skirmishes made
by tbe defense, but they served to intro
duce technical law points, upon whioh
points the jury undoubtedly based meir
verdiot of acquittal. Tbe questions,
which, in TliE MAIL'S opinion, ought
to have been oonaldered, are : Did the
Southern Oregon Pork Packing Com
pany instruct wm. Ulrich to attempt
tbe snipment oi aeer 8Kinr ana aia
air. snearer transport coe aeer sains
without orders from Mr. Ulrich? If
the company did not so Instruot and
Mr. Shearer did not transport with
out orders from Mr. Ulrich, then neither
tbe company nor Mr. Shearer is guilty
but someone la guilty wool"
The Prosecution was oonduoted by
Distrlot Attorney Watson, and the de
fense by Attorney Wm. M. Colylg.
