| heard Bill Stone plead his first case.
1t was a good many years ago-more
than twenty anyway. do not remem-
Der the name OF the Judge, but notori-
Gus horse thief was up for trial on a
charge of stealing cattle. As he had no
counsel the court appointed Bill Stone
to defend the case. Stone took his man
over to window aud talked to him for
a few minutes, then announced that he
was ready for trial. 1--WE plead guilty,
your honor, to the charge against US"
announced the young lawyer. The court
wasted no time in giving verdict, for
horse stealing was heinous offense in
those days in this part Of the country,
and condemned the man to fifteen years
in the penitentiary.
"But, judge, we plead guilty!' yelled
Stone, expressions of Gmazement and
disappointment alternating ON his face.
Fifteen years" repeated the judge.
"But, judge, we plead guilty." re-
peated Bill Stone, raising his long arms
like windmills. But the judge was OBJ
durate.
'If that is the case,' said Stone, tive
will argue the case" and he forthwith
started in upon the defense. For thirty
minutes he argued and pleaded with that
eloquence that is characteristic of him,
and at the end of his harangue he sat
down and watched the effect of his
words. The judge smiled and made the
sentence five years. Bill Stone had won
his first case.-Kansas City Times.

Punching Steel and Iron,

According to a paper read before the
Engineers club, of Philadelphia, on the
proper limit Of thickness to steel which
may be punched, the statement is made
that the thicker the steel the greater the
damage caused by such an operation.
Recent tests made to determine this
matter are declared to indicate that
punching Injuries steel less than iron up
to, say, three-quarters of an inch in
thickness, at which point the two ma
terials are about equal in this respect,
and beyond this point the value of steel
after punching decreases quite rapidly
as the thickness increases; in iron the
percentage seems to be much more con-
slant.
The character of the fracture after
punching is also found to be materially
affected by the thickness of the mate

A MISSING WIFE.
Her Husbands Deten-
ton for Murder.
The Father-in-LaW of
Manuel Lopez
Believed His Daughter Had
Been Foully Dealt With.
The Missing Woman Suddenly APP
pears and the Laws Net is Re-
moved From Her Husband.

The end of we'll kept secret OF Jus
ice Huson's office came yesterday and
a singular and at one time suspicious
affair was satisfactorily explained. On
November 8 OF last year, Hildefonso
Vendeola, living near the city, COM
rlained 10 Justice Huson that his
daughter, the wife OF Manuel Lopez,
was missing from her home about
fifteen miles from the city. He had
reason, he said, to believe that her
husband had murdered her. A war
rant was ssued for the arrest OF Lopez,
Int he could not be found nor had any
one seen him since the time that his
wife had disappeared. The three chill
dren OF the presumably murdered
woman and her husband were found AT
the house without food and nearly
naked.
The officers have since been on the
look out for Lopez, reasoning that as
the BODY OF his wife had not been dis
covered and the fact that he was sus-
pected had not been made public, he
would eventually return to the city.
He did return and was arrested last
Tuesday by Constable Garhas who
concealed the real offense for which he
was wanted behind charge OF petit
larceny. Word was sent to Nendeola
TO appear and confront the suspected
murderer OF his daughter. He did not
come and when the case was called
there being no evidence in support OF
the assumed charge the case was dis
missed.
Lopez was Immediately arrested how
ever on charge OF deserving his chill
dren amp the case was set FOR hearing
on Thursday afternoon. II was con-
tinued until Yesterday the authorities
having in the meantime made strong
attempt to secure witnesses and throw
some light on the strange disappear
snce OF the prisoners vile.
He had not yet been informed OF the
character OF the suspicion against
him otherwise hemight have facilitated
matters from the outset.
Before the case was called yesterday
funny thing happened which sum
msrily stopped all proceedings in the
case. The missing wife suddenly APP
peared having learned that her hus-
band was under arrest for desert!on.
She said that she had voluntarily left
home about the time described and had
been accompanied by her husband.
They had since been living together
somewhere near the city and had not
communicated with her relatives, hence
the suspicion on their part OF her muir
"a cd nn AN nj a m "A Hf
the heartless desertion OF her children.
Tae main cause OF Lopez detention
having been removed and no witnesses
appearing in the desertion case the
prisoner was discharged.

A HEAVENLY CLIMATE.
A Story of a Columbus Day Coin
cidence.

story or columbus Day COIN
cldence.
Hon Burt Dunlap a prominent cat
tleman OF Graham county and an eX-
member OF the council, arrived in the
city yesterday morning, enroute home
from a trip through California. Mr.
Dunlap was at Los Angeles sometime
and talking on the subject OF climate
saws that IL the weather in the City OF
the Angels Is blissiul, that OF Phoenix
IS heavenly and beyond comparison
with any climatic conditions OF south
ern California. He will remain here
several days.
Mr.. Graham relates an experience Of
Columbus day. On that day he
was at Morenci when two men were
brought in dead, dangling each from
the side OF a mule. They were victims
o! recent raid of the murderous Kid
An inquest was held and Mr.. Dunlap
was memb OF the coroner's jury.
In the course OF his deliberations he re-
membered that the day was com
memOrative of the landing Of Column bus
and his reception by the aborigines.
On that the 4OOth anniversary OF the day
this incident at Morenci was probably
the only one any where in the United
States strongly calculated to recall the
frequent collisions which have taken
place since, between the followers OF
columbus and the descendants of the
redmen who fled affrighted at the
hrst approach OF the Spanish caravels.

Rainfall In Australia.

Australia e., us to have had On I'M
usual rainfall this year, though it does
not equal that Of 1890, when, according
to report just issued by the govern
ment astronomer of New South Wales,
the average for the whole colony was
g. IS inches, or SEC per cent. greater
than the average of the sixteen preced-
ing years. Forests do not seem to have
aided in cloud precipitation, for while a
densely timbered region the amount was
$3.50 inches, the mean Of nine Of the
nearest stations in an open country was
49, % inches.
Elevation, however, has marked in
fiuence on rainfall. At Wallagong,
half mile from the sea, at an elevation
of sixty.seven feet, 1884 inches fell,
while at Cordeaux river, six miles from
the sea. it is Jj.53 inches. -Mediter-

Under the New Rule.

1t i'll becomes the newly elected Of
hclai to crow about the crooked modus
operandl OF their late Republican pre-
decessOrs. Already we hear of case
OF an attachment on one OF our well
known citizen for the paltry sum of
WOO which had already been settled by
said citizen and which would have been
easily satisfied by the simple process OF
hrst calling on him and stating the ma
tture OF the demand. Instead of which
ne Is attacked and threatened and his
nome is invaded with the purpose to
take possession Of his horse and all be-
cause he refused to pay second time

Don't Drink Wine with bananas.

The statement made in connection
with the death of Colonel Gilmore that
wine and banana juice combined made
a deadly poison has caused much com
ment and much more comparing OF
notes. That TO eat bananas and drink
wine Immediately afterward is to court
certain death. as was stated by gentle
man of some experience, is not correct,
or would have died score of deaths
from poison before this, and the inhabit-
ants of the West Indian islands would
have been decimated time and again,
for the combination is common among
those who can secure wine.
1t is possible that some particular
wines are dangerous in combination
with bananas, but the rule does not APP
ply either to champagne or sherry. The
suggestion, however, that bananas are
injurious in connection with anything
is rather novel one to me. because
there are few fruits which will preserve
life and health like the banana. When
properly ripened the fruit is at once de-
licious and nutritious Louis Globe
