SECOND DAY.-WEDNEsDAY,
THAT DISPUTED 4 N
A RevisIe~ Of the Various Owners OF a
Piece Q. Lana In SPHINX Township.

NJ. William Hodges. of Sphinx,
was a visitor at the COURIER Office
last Saturday and had Il pleasant
conversation with the editor. Mr..
Hedges is the present occupant Of
the southwest quarter Of section IL
i'll Sphinx township, which has be-
come involved in alaw suit, brought
by Mrs Julia Neumap, sister Of
Martin Moles. Mr.. Hodges doclar-
ed that many Of the statements
made in the COURIER in its account
published Of the commencement of
the suit, were incorrect, particularly
in the abstracs Of the title
of The land. Mr.. Hodges states
that Mrs. Neuman left her husband
OF her owh accord, going to Iowa
with the purpose ofnever returning.
Her husband visited her several
times and tried to get her to come
back but she would not do so. The
first change in the ownership of the
land was in 1875 when Neuman
decided it to J. NJ. Talcott. Of this
city. Several months afterwards
the property was decided back to
| Neulnan. The next move was the
sale OF the house, leaving the pro-
perty devoid Of II residence. In
1877 the property was sold for taxes
Ito Robt. Y. Baxter and in 1879 a
tax deed was issued by the county
treasurer to Mr.. Baxter. Just prior
to the issuance of the tax deed,
Neuman gave G. w. Beggs a deed
for the property. Beggs failed to
see any money in the land with
several years Of back taxes and q
deed issued by the county, 20 gave
a quit claim to Mr.. Baxter who sold
the land to franklin BLY, Of Akron,
Bly, sold it to Isaac Gilbert and The
latter sold it to Mr.. Hodges in 1890
The issues in the case will come uI
for trial in:sSeptember.
Mrs. Neuman claims the land Al
the result Of n decree Of diyorc'
issued by Judge Smith, VIII:
granted her my right she nigh
have TO the homestead Of the Net,
man family, they having lived ol
the quarter section mentioned il
the early '7O's.

Effect of Lightning on the Body.

In describing the recent death of a
boy by lightning a dispatch stated that
an accurate picture of trees and foliage
in the vicinity of the accident was made
on the boys body, which phenomenon
was supposed to have been produced by
the lightning III a ann similar to
that of making pictures OF photography.
This, however, is not correct. While
such marks are observable occasionally
on the bodies of persons killed they bear
no relation whatever to foliage Of sur
rounding trees, although they bear a GER
tain resemblance TO those objects. There
is really no photographing of the image
Of the trees on the body. That the &C
tual cause is quite different can be proved
by experiment in the laboratory. When
electricity is discharged at high tension.
as lightning is, ON the surface Of 81 body
having a poor conducting power, a lu-
minous arborescent image is formed,
showing the path Of one or more Of the
sparks resulting from the discharge.
This was most beautifully shown in
the experiments carried out with high
tension currents in London by Swim
burne. The current would exhibit scat
tered lines of light that would develop
into most exquisite traCery and take the
form Of plants or trees. The theory of
this phenomenon is that the irregular
courses taken by the spark may be due
to the compression of air in the path Of
the discharge, or to superior conductive
ity of some parts of the surface of the
body.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

note was handed to him, the writer of
which asked whether it would be right
for a bankrupt to contribute to the good

NO" said the preacher after he had
read the note. but, my friends, l would
advise you who are not insolvent not to

MECHANISM OF A WATCH

day and night. year in and wear out.
This wonderful little machine is the re-
suit Of hundreds of years of study and
experiment. The watch carried by tie
average man Is composed Of 50 pieces.
and ITS manufacture embraces more than
2,OOO distinct and separate operations.
Some of the smallest screws are 81
minute that the unaided eye cannot dis
tinguish them from steel filings or specks
of dirt. Under a powerful magrifying
glass a perfect screw is revealed. The
slit in the head is 81, 600 of an incn
wide. 1t takes 308,0 900 Of these screws
to weigh a pound, and a pound is worth
1855. The handspring is a strip OF the
finest steel, about 81 inches long and
100 inch wide and 27-10, 600 inch thick.
1t is coiled up in spiral form and finely
tempered.

was long held as a secret by the few for
tunate one possessing it and even now
is not generally known. Their manu-
facture requires great skill and care.
The strip is gagged to 20-1, 0CO of an
inch, but no measuring instrument has
yet been devised capable Of fine enough
gauging to determine beforehand by the
size of the strip what the strength of the
finished spring will be. a 1-20, 900 part
of an inch difference in thickness of the
strip makes a difference in the running
of a watch Of about six minutes per
hour.
The value of these springs when fin
ished and placed in watches is enormous
in proportion to the material from which
they are made. A comparison will give
a good idea. A ton of steel made up
into hairsprings when in watches is
worth more than 123 times the value of
the same weight in gold. Hairspring
wire weighs 1-20 of a grain to the inch.
One mile of wire weighs less than half
a pound.
The balance gives five vibrations ev-
cry second. 800 every minute, IS, 900 ev-
cry hour, 432 900 every day, and 157,-
$50, 900 every year. At each vibration it
rotates about It times, which makes
1877, 100, 900 every year. In order that
we may better understand the stupen-
dous amount of labor performed by these
tiny works, let us make a comparison.
Take, for instance, a locomotive with
6 foot driving wheels. Let it's wheels
be run until they have given the same
number of revolutions that a watch does
in one year, and they will have covered
a distance equal to % complete circuits
of the earth. All this a watch does
without other attention than winding
once every "a hours.-Locomotive Engi-

LOBENGULA TRAPPED.
1t II Believed That He VIII Soon BE

LONDON, Nov. "A dispatch from Cape
town says that native runners who are
reaching Fort Victoria, confirm the belief
that King Lobengula has been trapped
He Is blocked to the northward by the
tsetee fly country. through which it will be
impossible for him to drive his cattle, and
to the southwark by the imperial troops
and the force of the British South Africa
company. Lobengula's forces are supposed
to be In the vicinity Of the Shangani and
Gaulo rivers. lao miles west of Fort Char
ter. Their capture seems probable.
The runners bring advices showing that
on the night Of October 20 Major Forbes
SCOUTS reconnoitered the 1nsugonini kraal,
the headquarters Of the Insugonini regi-
ment the strongest and most efficient regi-
ment of the Matabele army. The scouts
found the kraal full Of Matabeles.
Some or the scouts returned TO Mai.
Forbes and reported the facts to him. Mai.
Forbes dispatched 100 cavalrymen and two
Maxim guns to make an attack ON the
place When this force arrived they found
the kraal deserted. the natives having been
warned of the presence of the British by
their scouts and making their escape irto
the bush before the troops had time to get
to the scene.
While small detachment of the COM
Panys men were guarding a number Of
od matapeie prisoners on the night of October
rs they We're attacked by body Of Nata-
beles and sharp fight ensued. The
natives were finally driven off. During the

Burnett, was shot and killed
Accordlng TO the later accounts Of the
Dattie that occurred on Tuesday, the at

were fully prepared to receive the enemy.
IN the first rush made by the Matabeles

Drought them within range OF the British
guns and deadly fire was poured into their
ranks For moment the natives held their
ground ana then broke and fled to cover in
the bush. The British cavalry then sailed
forth from the Lager and chased the whole
Iorce. The native regiments did not stop in
thelr night. The rocky ground over which
they ned prevented the cavalry from max
ing an effective pursuit.
In this fight 500 of the Matabeles were
killed or wounded. The company's forces
lost two killed-a white man and a negro
and six wounded. When the fight was over
the road was found to be clear The Lager
was then broken up and the troops marched
without resistance to Buluwayo, Loben-
