them was round and the other wedge
shaped, and they were about an inch
and half apart. He saw the head OF
the hammer covered with gauze rubber
fitted into one of the wounds.
Chief OF Police J. M. Glass was called
and testified to the fitting into the wound
OF the hammer found behind the bar
OF the Carlton saloon. He brought out
something new in the case. He testi-
fed to the discovery behind the bar OF
bunch OF keys and an ivory poker chip.
They were in money drawer behind
the concave boxes, and both had stains
of what he took to be blood on them.
This evidence was in the nature OF SUR
prise, and created some sensation, be-
cause it was thought that the hammer
was the only discriminating article found
after the murder. He also stated that
DR.. Kelly had analyzed some of the
stains on the hammer, coming to the
conclusion that it was human blood.
DIR. Ellis was the last witness for the
day. and testified that he had examined
some Of the blood stains, and while he
thought they were human blood could
not be positive about it.
Walter H. Auble OF the detective
force of the police department. testified
to his Investigations in the Carlton sa-
loon. He corroborated Chief Glass in
his statements
Officer O. 4. Wallin testified that he
was in the saloon when the hammer was
found, and his observation was much in
the same line as the other witnesses.
The trial will be resumed at 10 O'Clock
this morning.

MR. BrAuAEhB bt0tements
EDITORS HERALD: | wish to correct q
statement that appears in your paper of
this date, reputed to be the report of
the Democratic central committee,
wherein / am quoted as not being will
ing to favor Democrats. On April 9th
party Of three called on me, stating
they we're an advisory committee APP
pointed by the said central committee
to make certain propositions to me.
They presented no credentials ss being
what they claimed, but after giving
them the benefit of the doubt, | ex-
pressed my willingness to hear any thing
they had TO say, of which this is the
sum and substance: That the said
committee were about to submit the
names OF nine Democrats for appoint.
ment on the police force, and wished to
know il would pledge myself not to
recommend, favor. or support any other
applicants until these men were placed
upon the force. told them that had
not recommended any one as yet for APP
pointment but Democrats, and would
not do so Until at least the force was
equally divided, but I thought there
were other Democrats in the city that
were worthy OF recognition besides those
comprising the city central committee,
but would be pleased to have them sub
NIT as many names ae they wished,
either as committee or ss individuals,
and all such names would be given care
full confederation by me. but that / had
never pledged myself to any men or set
of men, and that I would not now; that
to accede to their wishes would be to
sink my individuality as a member OF

REEDY AND THE DOG.
A PULLMAN OAR PORTER ACCUSED
OF EMBEzZLING A CANINE.
A Complicated Case Before Justice Sea-
mans Yesterday-A Plea That
Eailed-Reedy to Be Sem
fenced Saturday,
Address.

O. Reedy, Pullman porter. has got
ten himself in trouble. Justice Seamans
yesterday found him guilty of embezzle-
ment. Reedy stole dog, as the court
believes. He was bringing an empty
car out from Kansas City. One of the
passengers had deg. He fixed up a
deal with Reedy, go be swore, to have
him (Reedy) carry the dog through in
his empty car to Los Angeles, for which
he was to receive $3.50.
Somewhere in Kansas Reedy told the
passenger that his dog had been stolen
or had gotten away. As the animal was
valuable one the passenger became very
much wrought up at this, and notified
Reedy that when he got to Los Angeles
he would expect him to turn the dog
over to him as he had agreed to.
When the train got here Reedy OF
of course did not have the dog and then
the angry owner had him arrested for
enlightenment. Reedy took the stand
and denied knowing anything about the
dog at all. He claimed that he had
never agreed to keep the animal or any
thing OF the kind. 1t was shown on the
contrary by two passengers that he had
taken him and agreed to deliver him Ia
Los Angeles. The contention OF the de-
tense was that if the dog was stolen he
be was stolen in Kansas, and that the
effense was therefore outside of the ju-
risdiotion OF the police court of this city.
Justice Seamans held that Reedy
swore to lie when he said that he had
not received the dog, and that as he had
received him and agreed to deliver him
in Los Angeles the embezzlement was
committed when he failed to deliver the.
animal as per contract Reedy will
come up Saturday for sentence.

A STATE DIVISION CLUB.
An INFORMAL ORGANIZATION Eff
FECTED IN Los ANGELES.
The Campaign TO Be Formally Opened
Not Later Than Next Septsm her
and Then Fought to
Finish.

The HERALD obtained information
yesterday that state division organiza-
ton has been effected in this city. The
informant refused to give any names,
but his high standing IS one of the lead
ing attorneys and fnanciers OF Southern
California makes his statement Of fact
unquestionable. The organizstion, il
seems, was informal, being more in the
nature OF personal pledges to taks active
steps az soon as the summer vacation is
over, and all Southern California is
again at home.
The gentleman in question may be
identified by some of his numerous
friends ae the one who wrote the joint
resolution for state division introduced
into the last legislature by the Hon. J.
G. Lynch of San Bernerdino.
II appears there was an informal
meeting, some OF Che leading intellects
of Los Angeles being present. There
were lawyers. bankers. physicians and
merchants enjoying a social chat. The
question Of state division came up and
it was found that the sentiment was IN
animously in its favor.
The question of action was brought up
and the temper OF the last Legislature
was discussed, also the possible advant-
ages OF the capital-removal question as
TO state division. After an earnest and
long discussion OF all the points at Issue
twas resolved that in the fall, certainly
not later than September, that plan of
campaign would be outlined and vigorous
action commenced. To this end all
present gave their personal pledges, and
what began as mere social gathering,
ended az the fret state division club of
Southern California. When q call is
made it will be such general one thst
every worker will respond.
The gentleman who furnished the in
formation further stated that il there
had been proper organization the last
legislature could have been easily in
duced to have passed state division
law. He has 20 doubts ss to the posi-
bility of getting 1T through the legisla-
ture of 1875, but fears that the hardest
fight will be TO get the consent of con-
gress. The Atlantic coast states do not
went the senatorial power of the west
increased. This will be the pitch of
battle, and 1t must be continued till won.
1t was further suggested that to Los An
qeles county would be conceded the cap
ital of South California. and that in the
apportionment OF delegates the other
southern counties should undoubtedly
have tbs larger share

everyone out of the saloon, locked the
doors and left Officer Mcguire in charge.
He searched the saloon afterwards, but
found nothing.
On eross-examination the witness said
he did not know anyone by the name OF
Nelson. He also said that some one
whom he did not know was behind the
bar with Miles when he entered the sa-
loon.
W. W. Freeman testified that he was
playing billiards in the saloon the night
of the murder. He was washing his
hands at the rear of the saloon when
Wooley went back to cali Miller. Wool
ey knocked on the door and receiving

It was full harvest moon that
illuminated the fields and the rough
white line of the road with light
more golden than silvery. The blank

TRANSPORTED into the mellow SEM

barn assumed beauty Of mystic

There were mysterious voices abroad
soft wind, a something in all nature

These were new sensations to Josh;
so new that he wandered about rest

whether he were getting the autumn
ague. He had escaped it every sea-

Utilize the straw.

Now that hay is sure to be scarce
this wi ter it will undoubtedly lead
to the feeding of all the available
oat straw, and to a good share of the
chaff and the better part of the
wheat straw, says the Nebraska
Farmer. Straw can sometimes be
used in this way to good advantage.
1t does not make bad food when
helped out with the cornstalk field
and some hay and perhaps little
bran. A dairy cow should have
something better of course. If her
butter product won't pay for the best
of feed she is NO good as dairy COW
and should be reduced to the ranks
of an ordinary COW. But there is
always on the ordinary farm quite a
per cent OF young steers. cows out of
milk and young things that would
not pay to buy hay for. These can
be carried along on part ration of
straw. They =ould make better
growth ON good hay but the increase
in weight would not be worth what
the hay cost
There is another way by which the
straw can be used as food without
being fed to the stock at ALI In the
winter time most of the food that is
eaten goes to keeping the animal
warm. This is the first demand
made by the animal on its stomach.
After that demand has been satisfied
the food that is left is stored in the
animals body as fat or else it is used
to make more muscle and bone It
is obvious then that the colder it is
the more food will be demanded to
keep up the bodily heat. But if the
cold can be kept from affecting the
animal, less food will be needed and
just that much food will be saved.
By law of nature the living BODY
becomes cold much quicker in
wind than in a calm atmosphere
This law has caused the erection of
wind breaks and sheds for shelter.
Where man cannot afford to buy
sufficient hay nor put up barns or
