He r was convicted without ado and sentenced sen-tenced to a month's imprisonment in the. penitentiary. He has converted all his possessions, real estate and moveable, into cash, hought a draft on San Francisco, and departed for the Golden State He will probably buy a house on Nob Hill and set up as a swell. . . The death rate among children has been enornously heavy during the lale heated spell, much m excess ex-cess of previous years.'
