years old, who, IN every else but
age, is au infant. As described
~ in her cradle, she is % inches IN
height and weighs but % pounds.
She cannot walk or talk, aud eats
nothing but milk, which is fed from
a bottle. She has, however,. u
quick perception and remarkable
memory. She is quite au attrac.
tive baby, and no reason for her
stunted growth has ever been as.

seem TO be we'll attested, aud many

without being able to even con

Having been at the scene Of this
dreadful tragedy since the second
day after its occurrence, and read
the letters that have come in from
pupils Of this college and others
taught by Rev. j. Lane Borden,
from his old classmates, from the
teachers in this college, having
heard the expressions Of opinion
from many people here and else.
where, and, more than all, having
been present at, the preliminary
trial from its inception TO the close,
clleerfully respond to the request
OF the editor tor nm article on the
subject. When the news of the
murder first spread nearly every
body thought that Its victim had
been guilty Of some atrocious act,
which, u 1t did not justify, would
at least palliate It's turpitude. But
while thousands of acute minds
have been busy In various places,
and seven feed attorneys Of ac.
knowledged ability and taleut have
deeply and continuously pried into
the matter, we have nothing but
groundless aud absurd rumors,
such as the learned counsel scout.

court of justice. The preliminary
trial evoked but one witness for the
clearing OF tue jenkins boys, and
his testimony looked only to the
separation Of Ed. Jenkius from the
horrible act of bis brother Ben.
Doubtless IL this testimony had
been without effective aud direct
rebattal q plea Of insanity would
have been entered for Ben. Jen.
kins; but, happily Hs the prosecu.
tion, the evidence of one OF the
local counsel for the defense was
promptly counteracted by that of \

place, so after having opened the
defense, and summsrily closing It
In evident excitement and confu-
sion, their case vas submitted to
tue court, and he promptly commit
ted both the prisoners without bail
to the parish jail. The indigna.
ton felt against the prisoners is
very great, and In some places, l
am told, with little encouragement
would overleap restraints OF law.
The public do not understand the
relation of these parties, but each
is supposed to stand equally in
their church relations. Ben. Jen-
kins is not q member Of the annual
conference, simply on trial for that
relation, and for several reasons,
had his life been pure, might have
been excluded from membership In
the conference, or might have been
continued on trial. At any rate,
in the first year OF his trial he is
halted by one of the most savage
and ferocious acts ever illustrated
+. IN tho Police Gazette. On the other
! hand, We have ]. Lane Borden,

IN on ground that was never plowed,
and this year turned off three tons of
hay to the acre. I now have speci.
mems in my office four feet high. l
have also some samples Of wheat in
my office four feet high and very large
well filled heads, that was sown on
fresh broke land on the 18th day of
May, and feel confident it will Weld
thirty bushels to the acre. Turnips
that weigh fifteen pounds each are
common. Carrots, beets, onions and
potatoes are large and yield album
dainty, but as yet are only raised in
small patches. Prices are very high
because there are thousands of con-
su','ers and only few producers.
lam sure this is the finest wheat, bar
ley and grass country | ever saw. |
never have seen such fat cattle and
sheep in my life aud room for mil
lious of head to Craze. AS to the
amount of agricultural lands that are
valuable / will say that there are
thousands of acres. During the month
of August there were sixteen thous-
and acres entered at this Office, and
only dotted the plats here and there
slightly. There are millions of fine
lands but it is divided by ranges of
mountains and no large bodies Law
together. Plenty of timber and water
everywhere. This good place for
the homeless who want lands if they
have pluck enough to help open up a
new country; if not, my advice is to re-
main "with their wives people. "
But there are thousands of acres of
better lands than the average of La
bette county that is here subject to
presumption and homestead. Now
don't want any man to come here by
reason of anything l have said, for he
might not see it as do. But If he
has the nerve and does come he will
be able to get good land at a sinall
price. Capt. Hannah and Guy have
made some fine locations. G.. P.
Peters has also located some fine lands,
Wesley Myers, Charles Spraguc and
l.. Sturgeon all from l.abette county,
have each located $50 acres OF land
that in three years from to-day will be
worth ten dollars per acre. If any of
my readers should decide to come
here they had better come early in the
spring, say about April.
