AN INSANITY PLEA.

Charles NJ. johnson, who occupies the
house adjoining DR.. Vests office and the
house into which DR.. West went to change
his hat before seeking protection with his
friend Van VOORHEES,, says he does not
believe that DIR. West Is in his right mind.

ago." said johnson, "he was an entirely
different man. a short time ago he had
an operation performed on his ear, and
tina. seemed to affect his mind. I have
noticed him day after day as he passed my
house and could see the change, and l re-
marked to him only few days since that
he was looking pale. He remarked that
his practice was So large that it caused
him to OverwOrk himself, which proba bly,
accounted for his careworn look. knew
his practice was very large, but L think
the operation on his ear has affected his

When told that DR.. West said he had
seen him a the time he entered his house
to change his silk hat for the old sloueh
one Of his friend. Mr.. johnson said:
well. that is only another evidence that
his mind is failing. for ne most assuredly
did not either speak with me at that time
or see me. do not even know the hour
that he was i'll my house. l leave the
front door onen all the time. and when he
entered l may have been in the back yard,
and may have been downtown. There is
one thing sure-he did not see me, whether
he says he did or not.
Regarding my having his hat all done
up in paper waiting his coming. l will
say that l was informed a short time be-
fore his arrival that he was coming for his
hat, and simply got it ready for him.

do. and if he is guilty it will be a big sur
prise to me. l will attribute it to in
sanity"
Mr.. johnson. when informed that DR..
West had admitted during the afternoon
that Miss Gilmour had died in his room
from the effects of a criminal operation.
evinced great surprise. and said:
well, if he has done that 1 am afraid
he has got himself into great hole. can
hardly see how that could be. though, as I
was in his office very frequently. and
should think he would have betrayed
himself or that would have noticed some
thing wrong. Surprising that he did cut
that body up, he did not do it 10 that

FELL FROM A scAFFoLD.
Death of Joseph Thomas, Popular
Painter.


Joseph Thomas. painter popular among
the members of his craft and prosperous
in his business. lies dead at the Morgue.
He was at work at 1918 California street,
and was about to descend to the ground
when the scaffolding upon which he stood
slipped and he fell. striking upon the roof
of piazza fifteen feet below. The body
rebounded and fell TO the ground, about
twenty feet below the piazza roof.
The fall fractured the painters skull,
and he was taken to the Receiving Hospi-
tai in an unconscious condition. He died
there at 80 O'Clock. Thomas lived at 118
Fair Oaks stree. with his wife and five
small children. Mrs. Thomas was in Oak
land when her husband was injured, and
when she arrived at the hospital he had
expired. She shrieked and fell fainting to
the floor by the side of the cot on which
the dead man lay. DR.. Simpson applied
restoratives. and the body of the husband
was sent to the Morgue.
Besides bis widow and children. Thomas
mother. a brother. who is member of tho
California Paint Company, and two sisters
survive him. He was a member of a lodge
of Foresters, and recently resigned from
the American Legion of Honor, in which
he had been insured for $4,000.

stopped at the Park Hotel, and her name
stands in the register on the same date.
Il began doing work for her when was
located in Colusa. and when / moved to
Chico she. along with other of my patrons,
used to come there for me to look after
their teeth. That accounts for her coming
there after l had moved from Colusa.
And at the time of these particular filings,
the four which / first mentioned. she was
on her way to Red Bluff for visit.
''By means of this [ was able to posi-
lively identify the head, but there were
other marks about it that would have
made me think so, even if [ had not my
chart to go by. The two front teeth in the
upper jaw overlapped, that is the corner of
one of them extended out over the edge of
the one next to it. This made the teeth
slightly out of line, but those of the lower
jaw we're quite regular.
Another feature was that Of the upper
lip, which in life was very long And
found that the distance' from the point OF
the nasal bone to the line of the teeth was
unusually long, thus indicating that the
upper lip was very long. which was a
peculiar feature of the missing girl.
''She had also very wide jaw, her chin
was pointed and the shape of the jawbone
in dictated that these features characterized
this persons face.
"But of course these other matters ]
mention did not furnish the ground for
any positive Identification. The teeth did
that, but these other, features are of course
additional evidence. and they would have
made me think the head was that of
Miss Gilmour il l had not the teeth to
rely on"
DR.. Stewart has been subpenaed to be
present at the examination on Tuesday

MISS GILMOUR'S HEAD.

The last shadow of doubt as to the
identity Of the woman's head which was
found in the bay near Sausalito on the 18th
inst. has been swept away. DR.. Robert
Stewart, dentist of Chico, positively
identified it yesterday as that of Ada K.
Gilmour. the Colusa milliner. whom DR..
Eugene f. West is charged with having
murdered.
When W. K. de Jarnatt and Miss Laura
Allan identified the head on Tuesday there
was still! some doubt about it, as there is so
little of the sembaDce of the original tn At
1t was impossible to say definitely that
that was the head of the missing girl. But
the examination of the dentist who has
had the keeping of her teeth for six years,

was probably caught in some fsherman's
net. 1t may havs been found this way and
tied to the shore by some person. medical
student or other for the purpose OF pre-
serving it. Of course. that is only
theory advanced by persons viewing the
head this morning. but TO my mind il is
about the way it happened"

Mud Shoes For Horses.

We doubt if very many persons ever
saw mud shoes for horses. They are
used on horses in blowing the low and
wet lands of theVauey north of Sumner
nearly every spring. The mud shoe con
sists of heavy board about 8 inches
wide and from 8 to 10 inches long, round
ing in the front. On this board a red
hot shoe of the size worn on the horses
foot for which 1t is intended is placed
until it burns into it to depth almost
sufficient to bury itself. 1t is necessary
that the shoe have long toe and long
corks. A piece of circular band iron to
fit over the top part of the hoof is then
attached to the board and over the hoof
to hold the mud shoe solidly to the foot.
One end of the band is fastened to the
board with a screw, which when tight
ened holds the board as squarely to the
bottom of the hoof as if it had grown
there. The horses become accustomed
to wearing them and after day or two
experience no difficulty in working i'll
them. By this means farmers are en-
abled to plow land in the spring where
without the use Of mud shoes horses
would mire down.-Sumner wash

A photograph OF Eleanora Duse now
on exhibition attracts constant atten-
ton. The picture Is far removed both
in expression and costume from the or
binary actress. The hair, guiltless of
curl or bang, looks decidedly "tousled,
straight, disheveled lock straying
across the forehead. The face is neither
young nor beautiful and is inetfably
sad. The dark, melancholy eyes look

A very amusing scene occurred once
while was serving a lady and gentle
man Of the unmistakable upstart type.
They were grossly ignorant of the most
elementary rules of table etiquette, shov-
cling the food into their mouths with
their knives, which were constantly load
ed half way up to the handles. They
managed to struggle through their din
ner, sometimes casting aside knives and
forks and attacking game and poultry by
cutting them in halves and eating from
their hands, holding the leg Sometimes,
too, they became ridiculously polite by
carving bread with knife and fork, but
the climax came when ! set two bowls
of rosewater before them as finger
glasses.
They looked at each other, and then
cautiously around the room, trying to
find some solution of hemysterious dish
before them, not having the sense to ig-
more it altogether, Whispered consulta-
tions took place, which presently grew
into a suppressed quarrel, the lady re-
preaching her lord for his ignorance.
Suddenly she was seen to shake the Wa
ter around and around, and finally, with
a look of contempt and superior wis
dom, she raised the bowl to her lips and
drank all the contents. Needless to say
that the hearty laughter of the other di-
ners made them feel the mistake. and
they beat hasty retreat.-London Tit

eEAUx YEUx.

Once Cupid was weeping In pain and dismay
And railing at cheating and theft,
For he'd lost both his bow and his arrows at
play
And all of culver was left.
"VYhat arms have | now" cried the child In
despair,
ITO kindle the heart into flameY
Ny power is vanished Oh, i'll shall fare
In lands that are loyeless and tame"
At the thought of this bitterest cup he must
sup
His tears into riyulets ran,
But they suddenly stopped, and laugh bub-
bled up
To his lips, for he thought Of plan:
allow foolish, how foolish, this sorrow to
show,
To fill all the air with my signs!
For what is the need of my arrow and bow
When | can use Nellie's gray eyesI"

A WONDERFUL CYCLONE.

1t has been said that the world grows
weaker and wiser which is literally true
of the human family, and the wisdom
of the inventive mind of men is clearly
dem nstrated by the manufacturers of
the wonderful Cyclone separator and
the peerless "Russel" engine, which
have not grown weaker but stronger and
better with each succeeding year; as
the following testimonials will clearly
show. These machines are built ex-
pressly for the Pacific coast trade.

A good story is told about a gentle
man who lives in Brooklyn and crosses
at Fulton ferry nearly every day. He is
much prosecuted by the bore who al
ways accosts you on a ferryboat in mid
stream with the stereotyped question,
"Ahl are you going across|
The other day one of these demons
hooked on to the Brooklyn man as usual

am going to hit you on the nose"
