Court Notes.

As stated last week when we went TO
press, George N. Little was on trial for
stealing money from VIM. Cole. The case
was ably defended by Mr., Gregory, and
GU, States Attorney labored under great
difficulties in prosecuting the matter. Pos
tive proof of guilt was wanting, and add
ed to this was the general and intense
feeling against the complaining witness,
which prejudiced many against a convic-
ton. The jury rendered a verdict of not
guilty, and-maybe he isn't guilty.
Sentence in the Collins case was de-
ferrcd till 9 o'clock Monday morning.
When court convened at that time. Mr..
Gregory was on hand with a motion for 4
new trial, which motion was supported
by numerous afidavits bearing on the
case. The Judge thought that not enough
new evidence was produced to warrant a
new trial, but gave the defence until
March 31st to procure such evidence. At
that time, Morgan will be here and rule
on the motion. If it is denied, we pre-
sumo the case will he carried to the su~
preme court. If granted, the trial will
take place at the next regular term in the
fall. Steven Collins, of Grand Forks, an
elder brother, cam into town Sunday
evening and was present at the Monday
session. When the decision was withheld
and bonds placed at So, 900, he promptly
offered his name which wa accepted.

BRIDGES AND SLUlCES.

Great improvement Noticeable In Their
Construction.
During the past ten years there has
been great improvement in the con-
struction of small bridges and sluices.
especially as regards efficacy and dura-
bility. The improvement consists
mainly in the use of vitrified sewer
pipe, which. if properly placed in posi-
ton, will be found in good condi-
tion after many years, while the COM
mon wooden and stone sluices, as usu-
ally constructed, need more or less at
tention after time.
When the old wooden or stone sluice
is one foot square, a sewer pipe ten
inches inside diameter will remove the
water equally as we'll, rs there is COM
paratively no friction and no impedi-
ment or stoppage as by the old process.
as the water glides noiselessly through
on the smooth. glazed surface. The
chief points to be observed in the use
OF these pipes is to have the upper sur
face of the pipe at least one foot below
the surface of the roadway, and that
the discharge or outlet end be at least
four inches lower than the upper or
inlet. Also that when discharged the
water flows off freely, and does not
back up into the pipe. Danger from
the latter need only be feared during
winter.
1t is not an uncommon thing to see
sluices and bridges of pipe where the
water has formed a channel alongside
the pipe, and the earth has caved in
from the road surface. This, of course,
shows faulty construction, stones and
pieces of the old sluices having been
placed in contact with the outer sur
face of pipe. and during high water
none of its finds its way along the in
terstices thus formed. and soon enough
soil is removed to cause trouble.
Hence never place stone or wood in
such positions, but fill in with earth
firmly rammed.
For bridges, or where the pipe Is
over foot in diameter, the bank upon
the inlet side should be laid up with

fellow rightly guessed, he would keep

how far this nephew would go for his

should live in this tomb for . year.
There was plenty OF room. He was to
live there-day and night. His food
would be brought him. He was to be
allowed books and writing stuffs. For
an hour before sunrise each morning,
and for an hour after sunset each
night. he could walk abroad. But he

set himself to earn the money"
The Beau paused SO long ut this
point that I finally asked:
did he succeed?'

name success. He stayed in the tomb
for a year. What that year was no

RlPENlNc OF FRUIT.
A seml-scientifc Little Essay Of Popular
Interest.

Interest.
There are three stages In fruit grow
ing. Young fruit is like leaves, II
takes up caSbonic acid and gives out
oxygen, being helped somewhat by the
leaves. In ripening it ceases working
for itself. and reverses its action, TAX
ing up oxygen and giving of carbonic
acid. The fruit favors are acquired
in ripening; Of them. or what goes to
produce them, we know little. There
is another change, that of acids to
sugar; this occurs mostly after growth
ceases. In some fruits, however, con.
siderable change occurs at the same
time that the size is rapidly increas-
ing. In grapes, the acid decreases
constantly in proportion to the sugar;
it is thought it does not turn into
sugar, but that the sugar is brought In
by growth from the leaves. There are
two periods of ripening-one ON the
tree, the other afterwards; some ripen
entirely ON the plant, others grow bet
ter after picking. Raspberries, straw.
berries and blackberries gain to GER
tain extent after picking; the grape
never ripens after picking. but remains
in the same condition it was when
picked, except that evaporation may
remove a considerable portion Of
water. The pear is always better if
picked q few days before it would
naturally drop from the tree. Tho
apple follows a middle course, partly
ripening ON the tree and completing
the process in the fruithouse or cellar.
After fruit is fully ripe, we wish to
keep it for use either fresh, dried or
preserved. The ferments become ac-
tive in ripening, and continue their
work afterward. There are minute
fungous growths that spring from
spores floating in the air. Plucked
fruits are essentially dead matter. and
thus are liable to attacks from the do
structive bacteria of the fungous
growth. &C. c. Caldwell. in Rural
