LEGAL COMPLICATION.
Michigan Law Gives tho Mineral Range
Train Robbers Unusual Chance.

Michigan Law Gives the Mineral Range
Train Robbers an Unusual Chance.
In the case of the people against Domi-
nick and Edward Hogan, William But
ler and others, accused Of the Mineral
Range express robbery near Houghton,
Sept. 10, the prosecution is in quandary.
The case Is soon to be called for trial.
Meanwhile the prosecution has to solve a
very delicate legal problem or forego the
hope of convicting all of the five men at
present under arrest
The specific charge against the five
prisoners is robbery. The Michigan
statute defines robbery as the theft Of
property by means of violence to the
custodian or owner thereof, or intent to
do great bodily injury or to kill in case
of resistance. Fear is made an essential
element of robbery, thus implying that
the person or persons in charge of the
property must be put in fear of death or
great bodily injury. The maximum PEN
atty in Michigan is imprisonment at hard
labor for life. Dominick Hogan was the
agent of the express company, and the
1000 stolen was in his charge. If he
relinquished possession of the money
through fear of violence, he was robbed
and was not himself robber.
On the other hand, If he was party
to the theft and feared no injury, then
no robbery was committed, and none Of
the prisoners can be convicted Of more
serious offense than larceny, the maxi
mum penalty for which is five years i'm
prisonment. Therefore, to secure con-
viction of any Of the accused on the
charge. the prosecution must prove the
innocence of Dominick Hogan, whom it
has caused to be held two months in Jail,
and whose good name has been ruined.
The only alternative appears to be the
withdrawal Of the charge Of robbery and
substituting the charge of larceny, the
punishment fer which must be very
light as compared with the just deserts
of such audacious criminals. The de-
fense will make this legal technicality
the main point In their line of action
during the trial.-Minneapolis Journal.

The Great Gulf Storm.

A. late letter received from Biloxi,
Miss, gives more hopeful view of the
situation. Hundreds of men are busy
in repairing damages caused by the
storm, and in few weeks everything will
be restored. The heavy rains which fol-
lowed the great winds did great service
in melting and washing away the salt
debris that was left on shore. The
writer says, "Even the flower beds in
the Montross House yards We're washed
clean and show no signs of their salt
bath" The wharves are being rebuilt.
and the vessels high and dry on the road
are being wrecked and removed. Right
in front of the Montross House the
wreckage Of several vessels and lumber,
yards accumulated and greatly protected
the property. The yard fence was the
only one left standing along the entire
beach. The destitution in Biloxi is re-
ported AS being rapidly lessened. Among
the prominent citizens of Biloxi who lost
their lives in the great storm was Cap
tain w. II. Patton of Back Bay He
was on the schooner La Marsh, and he
and all his crew were lost. His remains
were found lashed to his schooner some
days after the storm had subsidized.

Liquid Oxygen.

Liquid oxygen when first formed is
milky in appearance, owing to the pres
ence of some impurity which may be re-
moved by passing it through ordinary
filter paper. When pure, it is of pale
blue color, which, however, is not due,
as some have thought, to the presence of
liquid ozone, which is of dark blue COL
or. Liquid oxygen is nonconductor Of
electricity, but is strongly magnetic. 1t
may be lifted from cup by presenting
the poles of a strong electromagnetic. It
seems to have very slight chemical ac-
tivity, since it will extinguish lighted
match and has no action on a piece of
phosphorus dropped into it. 1t is well
known that the A and B lines of the
solar spectrum are due to oxygen, and
from recent experiments on the top of
Mount Blanc it is thought they are
largely if not wholly due TO the oxygen
in the earth's atmosphere. Professor
Dewar showed that these lines come out
very strong when liquid oxygen is inter-
posed in the path Of the rays from an
electric lamp.-Science.
