GENEVA, Ills, December 19.-The tax.
ing Of testimony in the 20" dynamite
trial was closed to-day and States Attor-
ney Hanchette, Of Aurora, began the
opening argument before the jury. The
principal testimony before the speeches
began was given by Henry T. Tolmsn,
an expert in microscopy, who testified
that he had carefully examined the ex-
hibits OF letters and checks alleged to be
in Bauereisen's handwriting, and in his
opinion two, possibly three, persons
wrote them. A microscope was brought
in and the letters were examined by the
counsel and jurymen, soon after which

An Unfortuna,e Fireman.

Jerry Murphy, the East Los Angeles
fireman, who was up short time ago for
disturbing the peace, and against whom
a charge for assault to murder is pend
ing, was surrendered by his bondsmen
yesterday and had to return to the county
Jail. The blow fell quite heavily on poor
Jerry. He had always been we'll be-
haved man until he got drunk one day
several weeks ago, and got into variety
OF scrapes as consequence. Now that
his time was up on his first punishment,
he was hard at work trying to save up
money to help him through the trial
which was to come. He had no intention
of running off, but his bondsmen became
nervous about the possible risk.

PRESIDENT JONES, of the Chamber OF
Commerce, read report from the Execu.
tive Committee yesterday in which it is
said that letter received from Represen-
tative Vandever says that if the proper
representations are made to Congress by
influential bodies and individuals, the
small and inadequate appropriation made
for Federal building in this city can
be measurably increased. The matter
should be agitated at once. The bill
raising the appropriation for postofice
site and buildirg in San Francisco to
to $500, 600 was vsinly assailed as exces-
siye in the Senate yesterday. That is a
handsome sum snd while we do not say
it is more than ought to ba appropriated,
yet it accentuates the niggardly small
ness of the appropriation for q Federal
building in this city. Considering the
fact that it will be the only Gov
ernment building in Los Angeles, it
ought to be on q far more extensive scale
than the one heretofore designed. In.
stead of q meagre $150,000 for the pur-
pose Congress ought to appropriate at the
least $4OO, 900. The citizens paid $50. 900
Ior the lot on the corner Of Main and
Winston street, and sold it 10 the Gov
,rp nent for $28, 1000. Now the Govern
nent ought to buy adjoining land and

left arm and bruised himself severely in
several other places. He was conveyed

A CHAPTER ON POTATOES.
The Wyoming Tuber Coming Into Com
petition with the Colorado Product.

Il don't believe I'll pay as much atten-
ton as usual to my potato patch this
year." said a well known ranchman to a
LEADER representative yesterday.
Nothing in it?" was the Yankee re-
ply.
Not under the existing condition of
AFFAIRS was the reply, uttered in rather
dubious tones. ut Just this way" con-
tinued the gentleman. Last season |
marketed about three carloads of the veg
etable in this city. To market them was
about all 1 did do. The men who are
always advocating the patronage of home
industries and the use Of native products,
were the identical individuals who in a
manner boycotted the potato ~cultivators
of Laramie county. 1t is an absolute
fact that they would not allow me the
same price as is paid here for the Colorado
potatoes, when even experts cannot de.
tect the difference between the state and
territorial 'spuds.' Now | call that a
downright shame, and think the matter
should be ventilated"
Another ranchman states that he only
succeeded in disposing of his crop by
forming a combination with a good nat
ured commission mar who shipped his
potatoes for the Greeley brand, and was
informed hat they were excellent Colo
RADIO potatoes"
The reporter thought these complaints
rather remarkable and sought out a
couple of merchants and questioned them
on the subject. 1t appears that the Colo
RADIO "spud" is the rage, even to the ex-
clusion of the Utah tnber. For this rea-
son the dealers are rather chary about
handling other brands, On the other
hand the reporter was assured that every
effort would be made to curry favor for
Wyoming potatoes, which none deny are
equal to the best.
Along every stream in Wyoming po-
tatoes can be cultivated without a great
outlay of labor. The Horse, Bear, Chug,
Pole and Crow creek regions are natural
potato producers and were the ''spuds''
properly placed on the market the Wyo-
ming product would soon become famous,
vieing with Colorado vegetables. Greeley
potatoes are shipped to the Atlantic
coast. More than 1000 carloads were
sent from that point last year.

A CARGO OF FOWLS.
Two Carloads of Feathered Trav-
elers Bound West.
A Poultry Dealer Leaves iowa for
California.
Saws that Amateurs Drove Him
from the East.

"a cargo of fowls" sounds like a second
class variety actors prize Joke, but that
was exactly what passed through the city
last evening on a westbound freight train.
Attention was attracted to the unusual
consignment by the honks of geese,
quacking of ducks, growing of roosters,
cackling Of hens, gobbling of turkeys,
screaming of guinea hens and gutteral
utterance of feathered bipeds which none
but a chicken fancier can name.
A reporter followed the crowd to the
train as it stood in the yards here. On
an ordinary fiat car crates were piled to a
level with the box car adjoining. In
these well ventilated receptacles were
Gagged the fowls, doubtlessly wondering
what next unearthly torture the prolific
brain OF man would devise to mar the
existence of an unofending inhabitant Of
the barnyard.

ton in Transporting horses was many

tives. In the door sat the owner of the
stock-a verdant delegate from Iowa.
From ID. l.. Baker, OF Creston, pro
hibition state, the gentleman in charge OF
the shipment, considerable information
was cleaned concerning the freight, not,
however, without a great deal of ques.
tioning. He was extremely reticent. A
fraa fra palotion &c hia roroorI, ou.l1o.
The LEADER to state that Mr.. Baker,
wearying of life in Iowa, has concluded to
dispose of his holdings in the Banner
state and take up a permanent residence IL
the glorious climate of California. Fol-
many years he has conducted an extensive
poultry yard in the East, but has been al.
most driven from the business by indus
trious farmers wives and enterprising and
industrious amateurs. These latter Mr..
Baker was thoroughly embittered against
and thawed out a little when delivering Q
TRADE against his unprofessiOnal competi
tors.
They will ruin any business" he
said. Sons and daughters of rich me1
invest in costly incubators, build magnif.
cent memories with all modern improve,
ments and purchase the finest breeds o.
fowls obtainable. They can easily afford
to undersell legitimate dealers, for they dc
not obtain a livelihood from the industry.
l tell you amateurs with long purses can
accomplish a great deal of harm"
Mr.. Baker has heard that Southern
California is a paradise for chicken rails
ers, and will take up his abode in that
locality. He carries a goodly supply o.
food for his charges, and expects to land
them on the Pacific slope in good shape.
His hopes will hardly be realized, how
ever. Many dead fowls were noticed in
the crates on the fiat car, and the journey
over Sherman hill last night must have
been a pretty cold trip.
Mr.. Baker estimated his cargo at 1000
head OF fowls.

AN INTELLIGENT CANINE.
A Dog Drops Dead upon Learning that
Its Master is a Poor Man.

The reporter sorrowfully, yet not with
out journalistic pride, chronicles the I'm
timely death of the brightest dog which
ever disturbed the SAUNDERS of a law
abiding citizen. The curious circumstan-
ces attendant upon his demise, are well
worth recording. The animal has for
several years been the property of a well
known business man Of this city and al
ways evinced a lively interest in the mer
camille affairs of its master. During the
recent tax sale the canine was a constant
attendant, and barked j%oyfully whenever
its master secured a title to the realty of
some unfortunate delinquent. This ex-
traordinary dog, when visiting the court
house, invariably called at the various
county offices in the building and formed
the acquaintance of the occupants. 1t
readily mastered the intricate mysteries of
the ordinary record books, but was forced
to a'andon its search for knowledge when
the technical abstract books were encount-
cred.
Perhaps the foregoing is sufficient to
tax the credulity OF an ordinary individ-
ual, but the most remarkable and aston
ishing feature of the case is yet to be re-
lated.
Yesterday morning Judge K~uykendall,
city assessor, halted the owner of the dog
on the street and requested a brief inter
uiau Tho oopino raonn,;,oJ .bo loouo.
of books and blanks as an official and lis
tened to the subsequent conversation with
Wrapt attention.
As the merchant enumerated his earthly
possessions and the pencil of the assessor
moved rapidly over the schedule it was
noticed that the dumb animal was becom-
ing uneasy. His caudal ~appendage almost
disappeared and his ears lay fiat as the
historical weighty pancake. A change in
his features was perceptible and his entire
demeanor was that of hope crushed to
earth.
Completion of the reckoning developed
that the taxpayer, whom everyone, in
Guiding his faithful four footed friend,
presumed immensely wealthy, was in
reality worth but the paltry sum of
1000.
AS the interview drew to a close the
dog staggered toward the gutter. His
tongue lolled from his mouth, the eyes
were 6lmy and actions involuntary. When
the sum total of his masters possessions
was announced the dog dropped dead
without a struggle.
Poor, misguided canine, he had all
along supposed that his owner was a
wealthy man.
