We present this week an illustration

IMPORTED ENGLISH SHIRE MARE.

This beautiful, docile and intelligent
Shire mare is owned in Colorado. The
breed represents probably the strongest
animals known in the annals of horse
flesh. a Shire will pull alone up an in
cline a load that will stagger pair of
our ordinary American horses. Shire
horses are of immense size and weight:
slow, as must be the case where such
ponderous bodies are to be moved, but
steady and sure. They are to. be seen in
perfection on the Liverpool docks and
hauling the tremendous trucks that
transfer freight in London.
The many millioned Duke of West
minister, in England, has been for years
the enthusiastic patron of the great
Shire horse, breeding it for size and

sides in one of the most ariStocratic
quarters of the city of London. and

rolls.
In the opening remarks of counsel of
the prosecution it was stated that the
prisoner, in addition to having threat
ened to murder Baroness BOlSover and
Lady Jessel, had also threatened a SIM
liar fate to number of other ladies of
title. 1t was also declared that in June
last, the French coloner' completed
sentence of two years hard labor for
backmailing a doctor, then he went to
live in the KensingtOn road, from which
place, it is claimed, he sent out num-
Der of letters addressed TO ladies' of
wealth and position demanding money
and making the most horrible threats as
to what he would do unless his demands
were complied with.
Counsel also said that case in which
the prisoner had threatened an old lady,
Mrs. Babcock, belonging to wealthy
and highly respected family, was only
concluded in its preliminary details
some short time ago. Upon that Ocea-
sion quantity OF gunpOWder and an
Internal machine, consisting of an ar
rangement of powerful springs in q
cigar box, had been found i'll previous
lodgings which the French cOlOneE'

dock. When he revived he engaged in
a furious fight with the police, dozen
of whom, assisted by number of prison
wardens, seemed unable to restrain
him. There was tremendous SenSa-
ton in the court room. A number of
ladies tainted and others screamed hor-
ribly. The judge was unable for long
time to restore order. Finally the jury
found the prisoner guilty on both
charges.

THE JURY IS OUT.
Fate of Charles Brandborg in the

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Nov. 20.-The
case of Charles Brandborg, for murder
in the second degree, went to the jury
at 6 O'Clock tonight. The jury is still
out, and likely to remain all night. The
prevailing impression is that the jury
will either disagree or, if finding the
defendant guilty. will find him guilty
only of one of the lesser forms of man.
slaughter. The charge of Judge Searle
was eminently fair and impartial.
Brandborg went on the stand in his own
behalf to-day, and told straight, salts
factory story of the tragedy. He adj
mitted he struck too hard a blow, but
maintained it was done i'm fear of great
bodily harm from the pursuing crowd.
The case as presented by the defend
ants counsel was a strong one, showing
the violent, drunken character of the
crowd which chased Brandborg toward
his nome. and the great reason he had
to protect himself in any possible way.
The summing up by Col. Peck, of Shak
Opee, was one of the strongest efforts
heard in Otter Tail county i'll many
