HOUSES EXAMINATION.

The Accused Bound Over to An
swer the Charge Before the
Grand Jury.
The examination In the House case
was continued this morning before
United States Commissioner Stevenson.
Mr.. Franklin watched the case Cd behalf
OF the government and Mr.. M, G. Ander-
son defended the accused.
Mr.. w. Fl. Garrett, of the Putnam
postOffice, Callahan county, was called.
All he could say was he knew the de-
PENDANT and described the location Of
his house and grounds. He denied that
he had written the late Braok Cornet
Captain Dick letter signed George
Lawrence, intimating that John Bar
bOur was at Houses house, and he knew
no one BY the name Of George Law
renee" He could not reOOllect House
saying that Barbour was at his house.
He knew Barbour, but had not seen
him there.
J.E. Van Ripper had visited Houses
hOuse..and pasture and found it we'll
adapted to conceal man. When he
was there he found blankets and the sur
roundings appeared as if some one had
slept there.
Here the case rested, and Mr.. FRANK
lin contended that there was enough evil
dence to show that House had harbOred
and fed Barbour, and therefore became
an accessory after the fact. Mr.. Mac
Anderson didn't deny that House had
fed Barbour, as alleged, but claimed that
none of the officers had ever stated or
inferred that he was charged with
completely In the train robbery, and
that Sheriff Olives statement that "there
was q good chance of Barbour not being
there" justified him in feeding and even
arming his brother-in-law. The whole
case he contended rested upon presump.
ton and suspicion, and he held there
was no evidence to hold the accused.
The Omitted States commissioner, how
ever, thought differently and bound
House over in the sum of $1,000 TO ap-
pear before the next federal grand Jury.

a Homecoming.

One afternoon, the second day after
the news of Lees surrender, the boys,
who had gone to drive up the cows to
be MIXED, saw two horsemen, one be-
hind the other, coming slowly down
the road on the far hill. One horse
was white, and, as their father rode q
white horse, they ran toward the house
to carry the news. Their mother and
Cousin Belle, however, having seen
the horscmcn, were waiting on the
porch as the men came through the
middle gate and rode across the field.
II was their father and his body-ser-
want Ralph, who had been with him
all through the war. They came slow
ly up the hill; tho horses limping aud
sagged, the riders dusty and dropping.
1t seemed like a funeral. The boys
were near the steps, and their mother
stood on the portico with her forehead
resting against a pillar. Noword was
spoken Into the yard they rode at n
walk, and up to the porch, Then their
father.Who had mot once looked up,put
both hands tohis face, slipped from his
horse, and walked up the steps. tears
running down his cheeks. and took
their mother into his arms. 1t rus a
funeral the Coufederacy was dead.
A little later, their father, who had
been in the house, came out on the
porch near where Ralph stood holding
tho horses.
take off the saddles, Ralph, and
turn the horses OUT he said.
Ralph did so.
Here, here's my last dollar. You
have been a faithful servant to me.
Put the saddles on the porch" 1t was
done. You are free, he said to the
black, and then he walked back into
the house.
Ralph stood where he was for some
minutes without moving a muscle.
Then he looked at the door and the
window above him. Suddenly he
seemed to come to his himself. Turning
slowly, he walked out Of the yard. -

After the storm is over there remains
the most profitable part of the harvest
to be gathered. The amber thft can
be got while the storm is raging is
mostly in small pieces, but large blocks
of it disentangled by the waves are too
heavy to be washed within reach of the
fishermen. When the sea is smooth
enough for the bottom to be seen
through from five to fifteen feet of wa
ter the fishermen row out and look
for these blocks, recovering them by
long-pronged forks and nets.
The amber is also obtained in more
systematic fashion from the reefs,
some three-quarters of a mile off shore,
where the meeting of different cur
rents has caused it to be heaped up
with immense quantities of seaweed
and rubbish For ten months in the
wear little feet Of black boats is an
chored over these reefs, the largest
and most valuable of which is six hum
bred feet long by four hundred feet
wide, and divers sent down, one from
each boat, are pOking about amid the
seaweed, discovering blocks of the am
Der and raisingitto the surface. Each
diver remains under the water for five
hours at stretch, and the labor is
said to be very trying. Sometimes
blocks so large are discovered that it
takes two or even three men TO bring
them to the surface. Such masses as
this bring fancy prices, from $40 to
$3.50 each, the ordinary amber bring
ing only about $3.50 a pound. The
water during most of the fishing sea-
son, is icy cold, and the divers have to
endure great hardships.
The amber obtained from the water
is nearly all transparent and glasslike.
The pale, straw-tinted pieces go to
Constantinople and North Africa to be
made into mouthpieces. The bone
colored and veined slabs make jewelry
for the Italian peasants, and the sher-
ry-tinted specimens go for ornaments
for the African and south Pacific trade.
