On Wednesday, Mr. Bennett re d an interest
ing paper to the British Association on an Eleo-
trical Parcel exoohnge. His notion is that
the blocking of City thoroughfa res is be.
coming a more and more serious matter, and
that the only way to relieve the congestion is
to establish q system by which parcels and
small packages may be freely interchanged
between the various buildings of a town by
means of miniature electric railways, laid pre-
ferably, but not necessarily underground, in
pipes OF u lverts. Such pipes may be laid
along the principal thoroushfares, communities.
ting to the right and left by means Of spurs or
sidings, with the premises Of the subscribers
to the system." The critics of the scheme, in
the discussion that followed admitted it's prac-
tiOability, but many doubts were raised as to
the cost. The difficulty of finding room for
more tubes under our streets would also be very
great. The ground of the chief thorouehfares is
. o~sitively Choked with pipes and wires.

o Ely ON TRIAL.

The special Policeman Who Shot John
Miller Now Before q Jury.
Michael Dooney, tho special policeman
who shot John Miller on Oct. II, last, was
on trial in the district court yesterday.
Judge Dudley DuBose, vt Fort Benton. is
presiding in the trial for Judge Hunt, who
is in the east on a vacation. The prosecu-
ton closed it's case in the afternoon with
six witnesses including Miller. In rub
stance the evidence went to show that on
the night of the shooting Dooney and Mil
Ter were together at frequent intervals from
eight O'Clock until eleven and drank
together in a saloon on Rodney street.
After eleven and until two in the morning
the officer and his companion were in the
saloon. About two O'Clock Miller made
some remark about going home. Doonoy
said he would take him home. Miller re-
piled saying, mo you won't. l can 60 home
by myself" Then both got up and went out
together, arm and arm. While in the saloon
they were conversing in a friendly way.
About a minute after they went out the
ran out and saw Miller on the ground.
Dooney standing over him with his hands
in his coat pockets. The spectators saw no
pistol. John O'Connor, one of the men who
WAS in the saloon asked Miller what was
thu matter. He mumbled something which

turned to Dooney md said: did
you do this. Dooney replied, Eyes. I will
shoot any other that lies to hold
me up" After this Miller made several at
tempts to get up. Finally he got on his
feet and started to cross the street. Doc
ney reached for Miller, but did not get hold
OF him.. He kept saying to the wounded
man, "Come On Jack, I'll take you home.'
When Miller got up he said to Doonsy.
"You didn't mean to do this. Mixer" Tn
officer made no answer. Miller then cir
cled around In the street in a bewilderei
way and ran across the street to e boarding
house on the corner. From the corner he
went down Fifth avenue to Mayor Klein
schmidt's house, where he fell down. He
WAS helped to his feet by Perry j. Hays,
Miller then ran down Rodney street, and
the people who had been Watching him lost
sight of Miller. He was found later on the
west side, near the reservoir, by the Of
ficers.
Miller appeared in court yesterday with
his eye bandaged. DIR. Rockman told how
the ball had entered Immediately below the
right eye and came out near the ear, follow
ing the cheek Q under the skin. The
doctor said the hearing was impaired. but
Miller would probably recover after awhile
from that. The sight of the right eye is
impaired. and the doctor thought it would
be permanently so.
Dooney is being defended by Il. J..

defense will present its side of the case to-

Mrs. Barnum's attorneys introduced
\ testimony yesterday to show that there WAS
no conspiracy between her son Ed and tho
two ranchmen. Carr and johnson, with the
object of divertine suspicion from Mrs.
Harnum. Several neighbors Of the family
testified that when Carr says he was in the
garden at the rear Of the house talking with
Ed BArnum about the matter he was
in front Of the house near tho gate. This
Olozed the testimony In rsbuttal. The
cumming mp of the attorneys took several
hours. @. @. Newman, one of Mira. Barn
um's lawyers, handled Carr and johnson
without gloves. Mr.. Baum. of Great Falls,
made a strong plea for his client. when
lie closed United States Attorney Weed
told the jury that the resources Of the
attorney who proceeded him had been
|%exhausted in efforts to carry the minds of
the jurors away from the evidence and to
appeal ia their %sympathies. The govern
ment's attorney laid great stress upon the
fact that the marked ~ bill Of
Inspector Sackett had been found in
Mrs. Barnum's possession. There was
nothing about the registered package to in.
dicate that it been opened, but when it

had removed it either by steaming the en-
velope or by some other process and then
rs-sealing it. He thought it highly inn
probable that the stranger who stopped at
the Barnum ranch would get up in the
dead OF night and extract the marked bill
from the envelope. The prosecuting officer
said 1t was not a pleasant thing to conduct
such a case, especially whom the defendant
was q woman, but believed that the testi-
mony clearly pointed to Mrs. Barnum's
guilt. While the lawyers were addressing
the jury Mrs. Barnum and her two daugh-
ters were seated near the jury, surrounded
by her friends and neighbors. Judge
Knowles finished his charge to the jury a
few minutes after five O'Clock. He said he
would return to the court room any time
during the night when the jury might
agree.
Judge Knowles waited until 10 o'clock for
the jury to come in and then retired. The
attorneys visited the court house several
times during the evening expecting q YER

AN UP HILL JOB,

The Highway Lady Finds 1t Hard to Be
come Domesticated
Letters received in Helena recently from
Helen Forslund state that since she got
bnck to her fathers farm near Spokane
Falls she finds it difficult to adjust herself
to her new, domestic and troussrless con-
ditions. When she left here with her mar
tied sister Helen announced that she meant
to STAY with the old folks and try to forget
that she had ever been otherwise than a
dutiful daughter. She writes that this Ia a
hard task, for no matter how hard she may
try to forget her past life. those she meets
remind her of it by avoiding her. All her
old associates have heard of her exploits
and will have nothing to do with her. 1t is
thought the girl will 90 east with her sister
and try to bury her identity in a great city
like Minneapolis.
