Big Bend Crops.


That there will be short crop in the
Big Bend this season is an undeniable
fact. But the shortage will be far from
failure. The shortage is more to be
attributed to squirrels and improper
cultivation than the lack of May and
June rains. This fact is evident
to the close observer. Our hest farm
ers who properly prepared their land
and sowed their crops at the proper sea-
son and attended to poisoning the squir-
rels, viii pretty generally have fair
stances in fields of the same locality
with those above referred to, un-
der similar conditions as regards soil
and climate, the crop is very
poor. Again there are instances where
industrious farmers are losers, but these
cases are the exception and generally
confined to newcomers, who lacked the
proper experience in farming in this
region TO make 1t success. The ex-
perienced, industrious farmer, usually,
throughout the Big Bend, has very;
fair crop.

THE JURY's VERDICT.
Mrs. Barney Testifies In the Bierce-
Hubbs Tragedy.

CHrco, CAL, July ga sensation
was created this morning at the in
quest over the body of q. a. Hubbs,
who was killed by Raymond Bierce last
Friday. Mrs. Barney, when on the
stand before, testified that Bierce fired
the first shot. In her direct testimony
to-day she testified that, as Bierce went
through the door in the bedroom Hubbs
drew a revolver and fired through
door at him. Bierce then drew his pis-
tol and defended himself to the death.
When asked why she made these con-
hicting statements, she said: Gas long
as Hubbs was alive didn't wish to
criminate him, but on his death, ! think
the truth ought to be told. Also my
back was turned when the shot was
fired and witnesses only have to testify
to what they see." The jury rendered
a verdict that Hubbs came to his death
by a gunshot wound In the abdomen,
inflicted by Raymond Bierce. Mrs.
Barney was released from court this
afternoon.

he was beginning his administration.
This sentiment had no more place In the
constitution than 1t had in the begin
ming of proniissory note or de-
claration which commenced an action at
law.
Mr. Buchanan did not recollect any
debate on this subject In the original
constitution and asked Mr. Sturdevant
about that.
Mr.. Sturdovant said he had not ex-
amined the subject.
Mr.. Buchanafi-You made the asser.
tion.
Mr.. Sturdevant---l made the assertion,

subject. l am informed by friend
(Comegy0 that he believed the subject
was fully debated there.
MIR. Cosgrove said such q method OF
argument was essentially unfair, and he
was so glad II was made so apparent to
the convention. He commented on the
sermon on the Christian religion which
one of the gentlemen Sullivan of Whit
man) had delivered when the
Christian religion had not been brought
up at all, and if, as the gentle

recognized the constitution as a business
document, and decided to leave out any
mere matter of sentiment.
Mr.. Turner said Mr.. Sullivan of Whit

Mr.. Power-I call the gentleman to

greater portion of the time himself he is
simply commenting on his own motions.
Mr.. Buchanan-The gentleman is en-

basest motives to the gentlemen who
have spoken most reverently on this

MIR. Goldman regretted the turn this
debate had taken. He recognized the
great value of the teachings of Christ
and reverenced as much as any man the
supreme intelligence above man, but he
believed the convention was dealing
with things practical, and not with sem
timent or mystery, with which this con-
