The Devils Tower, Strange Wonder
Work of Nature In Wyoming.
One of natures strangest freaks, one
of the greatest wonders of the world, is
the Devils tower, or, as the Sioux In
dams call it, the mateo tepee, or the
bears lodge, which stands on the banks
of the La Fourche river, in northeast
ern county of Wyoming, says the Port
land Oregonian. The country for fifty
miles around consists of high table
lands, deep canyons and narrow fertile
valleys-nOthing to indicate the posi-
BILE existence of any such freak of ma
ture.
The tower is a gigantic column,
monster obe1isk of lava, which rises to
a height of 1,727 feet, almost twice the
height of the Eiffel tower. AT the base
the huge shaft measures 326 feet
through in one direction. Hugh crys-
tails of the volcanic rock, measuring
from l to 8 feet through, start at the
base and run unbrol1en to the top, Civ
ing to the column peculiar fbrous APP

tablelands forty miles way.

age, we have heard how portions of the
bottom of one of the oceans have been
pushed up by volcanic forces, and
even a new island added to the
charts. Ages on ages ago similar vol
canic forces started jet of lava up
from the bottom of the ancient geolog-
ical ocean that covered all the north
west at that time. The squirt of molten
rock evidently did not break through
it into the waters above, but froze, as
an iron man would say, in the hole 1t
had made. This slow cooling off, the
gradual loss of its fiery energy, proba-
bly, lasted for many long years, and
gave time for the particles to arrange
themselves in the huge crystals that
arouse all of our astonishment to-day.

The Jury Finds Him Not Guilty Of the MUIR
der OF Onicer Slack.
On Saturday evening the trial Of Charles J.
Myers for the murder of Officer J. B. Slack on
the Benning road just beyond the Columbia
car terminus was concluded by verdict of not
guilty in the Criminal Court room, and imme-
diateiy there was a yell of approval by the
crowd in attendance, embracing many people
from the northeast section and market people
who sympathized with the defendant, notwith-
standing the caution Of the court.
After the conclusion OF the arguments the
court charged the jury that the ordinance Of
the levy court In force at the time was not one
which required the deceased to arrest the de-
PENDANT, and the arrest was illegal. The de-
PENDANT was not. however. for this reason justi-
liable, and If he took life unnecessarily he
would be guilty of granddaughter, and had the
arrest been legal one the defendant would
be guilty of murder. If he was in danger Of
life or limb he had the right to take life, but
the conclusion that he was In danger must not
be arrived at rashly. He could consider the
character Of his assailant and II he bore the
character OF dangerous man he would the
more be justified in thinking his life in danger
The jury retired about $50 o'clock and at
$50 O'Clock returned with the verdict Of &C.
