A leading farm paper recently cautioned
its readers against feeding horses on

the bedwarfing of tradition. There are
traditions contradicted by their absurd
ity, but If for several generations sem
sible tradition goes on in regard TO
events connected with certain places,
am as certain of the localities rs though
pen and document had fixed them.
Indeed, sometimes tradition is more to
be depended on than written commu-
nication. A writer may, for bad pur-
poses, mlsrepresent. misconstrue, mis-
state; but reasonable traditions con
corning places connected with great
events are apt to be true. | have no
more doubt concerning the place on
which Christ was crucitled or i'm which
Christ was buried than | have
about the fact that our Lord was slain
and entombed. But suppose traditions
contradict each other? Then try them,
test them, compare them as you do doc
pments. 1t Is no more difficult to sep
arate traditions, true and false, than
apocryphal books from inspired books
Do not use the word tradition as
synonym for delusion. There is a sur
plus of Christian iniidels travelling in
the Holy Land who are from scalp to
heel surcharged with unbeliefs a ira
dition may be as much divinely in
spired as II book. The scenery of Pal
estine is interJoined, intertwisted, inter
locked with the Scriptural occurrences.
The learned Ritter, who has never
been charged with any weakness of in
credulity, writes: No one can trace
without JOY and wonder the vertical
ton which geography pays to the history
OF the Holy Land. wW
when the brilliant Renan went to
Palestine he was stuffed with enough
incredulity to make dozen Thomas
Paines, and yet he gives the following
experience: The marvellous harmony
of the evangelical picture, with the
country which serves as it's frame, was
to me revelation. | had before my
eyes u fifth gospel, Inutilated but still
legible; and ever afterward in the re-
citals of Matthew and Mark instead of
an abstract being that one would say
has never existed, saw n wonderful
human figure live and move. SO said
an unbeliever. In this my visit to Pal
estine, in the year of our Lord 1S89-90,
Ialso find the landscape commentary.
The rivers, the mountains, the valleys,
the lakes, the rocks, the trees, the
costumes of the Holy Land, agree
with Matthew and Mark and Luke
and John. The geography and
Typography are the background
of the Gospel pictures. They carry
different part of the same song.

a Flre Caused by Water.

A fire caused by water was the APP
parent paradox that presented itself in
the Union Clothing company's store Oh
State street about O'clock one even
ing. The watchman employed by the
concern discovered water dripping
down from the ceiling in the forward
part of the store and telephoned for
the protectives that they might come
and protect the goods with tarpaulins.
A minute later the woodwork about
enc of the electric light wires began TO
smoke and emit blue flame. and when
the protectives arrived the services of
an extinguisher as well rs of the tar
paulins were required. Chief Higgins
and one of the members of the protect
ives received an electric shock while
they were tearing away the woodwork
to which the wires were attached. The
damage was comparatively slight. The
explanation of the appearance Of the
fire was that the woodwork, saturated
by the dripping water, became a good
conductor, and drew the electricity
from the wire, the insulation of which
may have been defective in addition

We are almost always disappointed
with picture of Christ. 1t is the uni
versal criticism of such pictures, While
| admire the artistic merit of the pro-
duction, the picture is not my idea of
the Saviour. The picture is apt to rep
resent Christ either as effeminate or Sc
we're, weak or awful. To commingle
in one picture strength and humility,

than any other face that has ever been

VERY ODD TESTIMONY
William Reeves on Trial for Robbins
Hei6hbor.
Remarkably Contradictory Testi-
mony Offered by the Wit
sse at the Trial
Yesterday.

By the Standards Special Wire.
BUTTE, April 3.-Judgc Newkirk was
engaged this afternoon in conducting the
preliminary examination of William
Reeves, charged with having robbed Will
liam Ross of Sl55. The offensc is alleged
To have taken place at Melrose some time
during the night OF April u. A peculiar
feature OF the case was the startling man
ncr In which the witnesses for the prose-
cution and defense contradicted one an.
other. Some of the gaudiest perjury ever
committed in a court of law was commit
ted this afternoon in the modest little
court which the city maintains on West
Park street. With indication of truthful
testify Ia certain alleged facts. only Ia be-
contradlcted by witnesses for the
defense. Onc Of the complaining wit
nesses proved to he an original
character. When asked whether he had
seen the defendant ON the date of the
robbery he replied. "Av coorse ] saw
him.. IL was in the bunk house mt Mel
rose, and be the aid av n big rcvalvur he
made me give oop, sl55, he sayin You
- , I'll make W give oop yer
money and prcssin the coon agin' me
head" The witness then continued that
he was in bed when Reeves entered the
bunk room and compelled him 10 give IN.
&. ss"s ~ fff'tttt US his thtlt Ifbthtl
which he kept on as u bed was not very
good. After handing the accused his
money, witness said, Reeves left the room
saying that witness was holding out on
him as lic had more money han he had
given up. During cross-eNamination the
old gentleman Indignantly denied that he
was drunk ON that night, saying he had
not tasted n drop of liquor for over three
months. He said he recognized Reeves
by his voice and appearance. Il. j. Hop
kins, n section foreman, said that at about
noon of the day following the robbery
Reeves had called him To one side and
told him he had Done up old Bill, the
section man." The witness admonished
him to keep il to himself and added "You
didn't get much as the old man said he
only lost 81 or 81" To this Reeves had
replied that Ross was "A d old liar
as he got Sl35" and offered TO
show witness the money il me would
step behind some box cars near
WHERE they were standing. Subsequently.
said the witness. Reeves had offered Ia
give him half of The money il he would
n testify against him. John Smith. JUS
ticc OF the peace AT Mclrose, testified for
the defense and said that Ross had stated
he did not know positively that Reeves
had robbed him, but thought so and for
that reason lac had released the defend
ant. A large number of other witnesses
were examined and an attempt was made
Ia prove an diibi, but the attempt was not
very successful. Testifying in his own
behalf the defendant denied having made
a confession Ia Hopkins and denied hav-
ing stolen the money. The other wit
ncsses Tor the defense were equally glib.
Decision was reserved until tomorrow af-
ternoon.
