ASKED TO BE EXCUSED.
w. f. krelg, one or the jurors, ihaue
request of the Court that he be excused
as juror, saying he would like to bring
few witnesses to show that he was OF
difficult hearing, and he would be under
great difficulty in the case. He also
said his mother, SO years of age, was
liable to die at any moment, and that
would tend 10 diSquiet his mind. As to
his defect of hearing, Mr. Kreig said at
times he would hear fairly well and
then have trouble at others.
Capt. Dovener, for the State, said
there was no objection to any juror be-
ing discharged for cause, and went on
to explain the law, saying the Court
could act in that manner to almost any
extent. and the defense could not object
so long as it was furnished with twenty
fair and impartial men-men equal to
those allowed to go after acceptance.
The defense objected to Mr.. kreig
being discharged, and claimed Capt
Dovener'S statements were not entirely
correct In the same connection, COL
Arnett said he did not want to emoar-
raSs any one. He regretted that any
one should be so situated as to be en-
barrassed, but he could not do other
wise than object TO his discharge, al
though the Court might, in the exercise
of a sound discretion. excuse the Juror.

The Court expressed a desire for coun-
sci TO see 100 L. s., containing the
Strauder case. a ID the matter was de-
ferred to put DR.. A. f. Stliel on the
stand to be questioned regarding the
condition of Juror Kreig. The Doctor
said he had repeatedly examined and
tested Mr.. Kreig; his hearing was I'M
haired to some extent. When person
smoke distinctly and his attention was
fixed. he could hear, but under other
conditions he was likely to misunder-
stand. Under a slight cold his hearing
was worse DR.. Stifel illustrated his
condition in general ways.
Mr.. RihedafTer was questioned, and
testified 10 Mr.. Kreig'S inability to hear
well at times.
The question As to the qualifications
OF Jurors was then again taken up, and
Capt. Dovener read the decision OF the
United Supreme Court in the Taylor
Strauder case, at the end OF which the
Court threw out the suggestion that II
the section meant to disqualify Il man
over sixty years, it might be uncon-
stitutiona!, and Capt. Dovener adj
dressed himself at some length TO this
point.
The understanding at first was that
Capt. Dovener was to close the argu-
ment. but when he concluded, Col. Ar
nett started in TO reargue. There was
objection from the State. and wrangle
as TO whether the argument was to be
reopened. In that event Mr.. Howard
said he desired to be heard, and that
would likely take the entire afternoon.
The Court said he would give fifteen
minutes to side. and that would set
tie il.
This was agreed to, and an adjourn
ment was taken until > p. IN.

Wooner believes the trust VIII be absO-

new method than under the old There
are two houses. controlling about 10 per

better terms. 1t has also been demon
Strated that the Takomine process can
be successfully used in the making of

Director Woolner claims that the process

ter's Command, Is No More.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 1O.-Word has
been received here of the death of
Comanche, the most celebrated horse in
the United States cavalry service, at
Fort Riley last Saturday. He was
twenty-five years of age, and the only
living thing belonging to the United
States service which escaped the massa-
ere at the battle of the Little Big Horn,
where Gen. Custer and his command
were annihilated. He was one of the
original mounts of the Seventh cavalry
when the regiment was organized i'm
1856, and has been in almost every bat
tie with the Indians since.
After the battle ~Of the Little Big
Horn he was found covered with
wounds, riderless and saddleless, some
distance from the scene of the massa-
ere. He was taken charge of by Capt.
ROWAN and sent to Fort Riley. where
