Peculiar Row in a Jury at Devils
Lake.
Special to the Globe.

Speclhi 10 luG 0lODe,
DEVILS LAKE, N. D.. June 21.-
Agnes Baldwin, tried for murder, was
remanded to cell last night at 10
o'clock for new trial, the jury having
been discharged because of no prospect
of agreement. They stood nine for
murder and three for acquittal. Some
of the nine insist that the three favored
acquittal because they are Catholics.
The defendant, it seems, has protessed
to be Catholic, though for many years
she was Baptist, One of the three
became offended when such point was
raised and threatened to throw the
offending juror out of the window if the
subject was not dropped. The evidence
does not warrant verdict of murder in
the first degree, as the deceased COM
menced the attack, but the sentiment.ot
men acquainted with such women
favored hanging, and the nine seemed
to be of the same mood. The only wit
ness to the tragedy, Maggie Blue,
turDed states evidence. She was i'm
peached OH several material points.

about 200 miles from the then head of
the gulf. In proportion to its size and
volume of water, the Colorado is the
greatest sand and salt carrying river in
the country, considerably exceeding the
Mississippi in this particular. As soon
as the river reached the gulf, it began
building a great dam across that body Of
water, and cut through this alluvial de-
post, various channels for itself. In
due time the dam was completed and
became the head of the gulf, and 200
miles of the gulf of California were cut
off from the rest and became an inland
lake.
The climate of that section is wonder
fully dry. The average rainfall is only
three inches a year, and it is common
occurrence for ten or twelve months to
pass without drop of rain. Evapora-
ton in such aclimate is very rapid, and it
was not long before the water, cut OIL
from the gulf by the COloradO'S dam,
disappeared. There was left great
basin, the bottom of which is many feet
below the level of the sea, and is the
lowest in the United States. This is now
known as the Colorado desert and Death
valley. The Colorado river, Maj. Powell
said, after thus telling how the desert
was made, had simply oVerhoWed the
dam it had built, and was pouring some,
or perhaps all, of its wafer to the north
of the dam, instead of the south. Like
all rivers with deltaS, the Colorado was
constantly shifting at its mouths, cut
ting new channels here and there, and
Mai. Powell believed it had now cut a
new channel, and this time into the
desert. 1t was possible that it had ac-
tually changed its main channel, and
would permanently flow into Death
valley, but Maj. Powell thought it was
only A temporary overflow.
Ii it was permanent change, he
added, the dam built by the Colorado
might. in time, wash away and the gulf
of California resume its old proper
tons. If it was temporary, when the
overflow ceased, evaporation would
quickly make the lake a desert again,
for in that dry climate it would go on
at the rate of 100 inches year. Maj.
Powell had no faith in the idea that the
formation of the lake would have any
appreciate effect upon the climate OF
the surrounding country whether it was
temporary or permanent. 1t would, he
remarked. compel the railroad that now
crosses the valley, to be built around it,
and that was all there was in the whole
affair. This is not the first time that
the Colorado desert has been a lake
since it was cut off from the gulf of
California. Indian traditions tell of
similar phenomenon to that now going
on, and there was no doubt, Maj. Pow
ell said, that the occurrence took place
since the residence of man on this con-
