CARP AND TURTLES. Judge Bride

eighty beautiful carp in his pond. but

that showed marks Of violence FROM the
depredatIOns of turtles.
Young carp are the biggest fools a.
mong the fnny tribe. IL the weather
turns cool they stick their heads into
the mud aud a turtle comes along and
eats tbem up.
The only remedy TO keep these carp
eaters out Of your pords is TO fence
them around with plank fense. IL il

THE STAR REUTERS.

Interesting Evidence Coming Out at the
investigation.
Washington, August lin the star route
trial to-day Senator Maxey, of Texas, was
plac d on the stand by the defense, but an
Obj ctnn was raj ed that he could only testify
| as to the general policy of the department in
| exte rding the star ru es, and that he could
| otfer no evidence bearing upon the offense as
cha < d in the indictment. He was not per-
mitted to testify.
Expo ma>ter- General Key was then called,
but as he q SO was unable to testify to any
knowledge Of the spec hc rules upon which
the Indictment is based, and could only affirm
that the general 'licy of the department had
| been one OF extension, his evidence was ruled
| out.
General Sherman then took the stand, and to
his evidence the objection was raised as in the
case of Key and Maxey. He, however rec
ognzed his signature on a recommendation
for an increase and expedition upon one of the
routes named in the Indictment and in ex-
PLANTATION Of low he came to sign the recon-
mendation, though knowing nothing, person.
ally, of the route. which was in Colorado, he
said that the Indian agent at White River
agency had been murdered, and his family
carried off and fight had taken place be-
tween Major Thornburg and the Indians.
| The entire community between Rawlings
and the White River agency was overrun
with hostile bands. 1t was therefore re-
garded as a m assure Of national importance
to keep open every possible COM
munication with the rear, and consequently
the establishment of a daily stage service in
that section had been recommended. He was
asked what was the effect OF frequent mails on
the maintenance of peaceful relations with the
Indians. He said that nothing better enables
an officer to keep posted than frequent COM
munication with the different sections of the
Indian country. At least one-fourth OF the
appropriations made were { the support Of
agencies. No agencV was opened for courier
service, and to guard the lines Of communica-
lion. The post flee depa tment was also
pressed to establish and increase quick
communication, for with intelligence
thus secured, the commanding officers
were able to anticipate the move
ments of the hostile Indians of Arr
IONA. General, Sherman said that in
that territory there were 1000 Apache Indians
of peculiar character. They entertained an
everlasting hatred toward the SPAN race,
and were kept corraled by the military, and
prevented from making depredations upon
the settlers in that country. Some'imas they
broke away from their corral after the fashion
of animals, In a recent case. one hundred
and ninety Ap,ches had broken out and
killed forty Sc tiers. They had escaped into
old Mexico, where they had been wiped out
by Mexican troops. The frequent ma Is gave
warning of such outbreaks and gave the SET
tiers an opportunity to make defense.
