for the frank and exhaustive statement
of the case, having CLEANED the field OF
authorities on the subject.
"On entering the service" said Col.
Barr" we relinQuish uone of the obliga-
tons of citizenship, but we assume more
and subject ourselves to a code OF our
own. This court has no concurrent
Jurisdiction with the civil courts. We
have only power to try defendant for
| otfenses directly concerning the rules
of the military service. We are made
the custodians of our own honor. 1t is
given to US to keep the service pure.
SuppoSing the defendant had been con.
yicted of manslaughter, do you think
we would have no remedy to rid the
service of his presence and to keep him
from having command of honorable
men thereafter. 1t is my Judgment
that the plea should not lie."
Noon having been reached,Ba recess
was ordered taken, and Col. Mason an
nounced that on reaSsembling the court
would meet in secret session for the
discussion of the question.
OVERRuLED.
Promptly at 1880 the court recon-
vened. behind closed doors. Outside
the building, groups of officers, as we'll
as men, were standing under the shade
trees discussing the probable conclu-
sion. Many were present who expected
! that the plea would be sustained. AS
| the time grew longer, that hope was
strengthened, not only among the
| friends of the defendant but by his
counsel as we'll, who remarked to a
| GLOBE reporter that he was glad to see
! the court take time for deliberate con-
| ciusion. After an hours wait the doors
were again thrown open. and the at

result much softer light was shed over
the group OF officers composing the
court.
The reading of the record was dis
pensed with by consent. and Mr.. Blair at
once arose to conclude his arguments i'll
support Of his plea. He said:
The Law protects society against
crime by making an example of the Of
fender, and one example of the same
offender for the same otfense is all-suf-
ficient. This court is not bound by
precedents. but is at liberty to follow
its own opinions in either rejecting or
accepting our plea"
He then introduced in evidence all
the papers in the trial held at Chicago.
duly certified, and read the charge of
Judge Grosscup to the jury, which
charge, counsel maintained, bears upon
several aspects of the case. and upon
facts which the prosecution in this trial
would have to establish. Mr.. Blair then
emphasized his last points, saying:
"When there are two courts of con-
current jurisdiction and one takes up a
case and finishes the same, this action
acts as a bar against further prosecu-
ton. 1nnu!nerable authorities are at

1t took several minutes to get quiet and
order restored, after which the presi-
dent of the court raped. and rising,
said:
The plea at bar is not sustained, and
the trial will proceed"
There was low murmuring of voices
while Attorney Blair held whispered
consultation with Judge Advocate Barr.
Then, addressing the court. he said:
"In viewo of the courts action in over
ruling the plea, ask the court to ad-
journ until tomorrow. so that may de-
termiue whether shall try the case on
its merits or apply to Il civil court FOR a

A True Snake story.

For the purpose of interesting some young naturalist who may by close ob- seryation solve the mystery, J. N. gives the following account to the Prescott Courier of performance in low animal life:
 About a quarter of mile from the old Bullwhacker mine, in a southeast erly direction, is small park almost if not quite devoid of bushes and brush, In the center is narrow ridge or pro- jeetion of limestone about ninety feet in height, the top for ten or twelve feet being quite steep and so narrow as to not permit of walking thereon.
 It is on this ridge that one may wit ness on any warm, sunshiny daya phe- nomenon that is at once singular, mysterious and interesting. On the south side, near the bottom, is hole about two feet in diameter, that as far as has been observed, runs on a level for about eight feet and then turns down on a slight incline until it is shrouded in gloom and leads to what is believed to be the biggest rattle snake den in all Arizona.
 Between and 10 o'clock on fine morning the snakes begin to issue out of the hole, first by a few stragglers, which keep increasing until they final ly form a solid stream. For the first two or three hours they wriggle about or lie quietly near the hole, summing themselves, and then they take up their line of march over the ridge. The ascent is by means of zig-zag path about foot wide, until near the top, which is formed by ledge worn smooth and very steep, as already mentioned.
 To cross the ridge in the convention al manner of snakes is simply impos- sible, hence they have recourse to 4 strategy that makes the whole perfor- nance worth trip of 2000 miles to see, and which is simply this: The reptiles form themselves into rope or chain by taking each other by the rattles or tails so that the weight of down-going ones helps to pull the others up. At point where the ser vice of the chain is no longer required the snakes relinquish their hold on each other and slowly glide down the hill on regular path that leads to another hole, which they all enter.
 When the reptile first leaves the rope or chain he seems quite weak and unable to strike. This was first dis covered by my partner who on several occasions has stationed himself here and with club, slayed thousands, as have others who know of this peculiar ity. But though the existence of this den of snakes and their wonderful be- havior is well known to every one on Lynx creek and have often been watch ed by them, the double mystery of how they manage to first get their chai,l over the ridge and the object of the un der-and-oyer march. as one might call it. has not hpen solved
