Both parties claimed the property, but
Mrs. Hoover's attorney, Mr.. w. p. Will

it had been conveyed to her by outside

that Mrs. Hoover had made out priIna

Injunction.

Seine Interesting Tests.

THE tests made on this line are Of con-
siderable interest" says Mr.. Speed. THE
first showed that the motor car alone or
with a small load could run at q higher
speed than that attained by ordinary ex-
press locomotives, and maintain the speed
without difficulty and without apparent eff
fort. This test gave rise to some eXag-
gerated newspaper reports as to the speed
attained. Subsequent tests were made
with the locomotive or motor car as
freight hauler. and not less than fifteen
heavily loaded freight cars were easily
moved and carried along the line at high
rate of speed. So far everything was sat
isfactory. Since then fifty miles an hour
has been reached in another test.
Electrical engineers appear to be quite
well agreed that at this TIME for local
trains. with constant traffic and frequent
stops. there is a great advantage in cleo
trio over steam locomotives. But this, I
believe, is the first instance where electric
ity has really been substituted on road
previously operated by steam. But these
engineers do not see their way so clear TO
the immediate substitution of electricity
for steam where the freight business is
he chief source of revenue, ana on the
great trunk lines, such as the New York
Central and the Pennsylvania the freight
yields much the greater amount Of the
revenue.

decided to refuse further to pay interest
on $19S, 900 worth of county bonds. In
a recent case wherein the Indebtedness
of Lawrence county was involved, Plow-

bonds were issued in excess OF the legal
indebtedness Of the county, and were
consequently invalid. The commission

WHY TIE MAMMOTHS FROzE.
2oworth's Theory with Regard to tn.
Remain Found In Siberia.

2oworth's Theory With Regard to tn.
Remains Found In siberia.
In ~!IowOrth's book, entitled tine
Mammoth and the Flood. the author
advances a unique theory with regard
TO the remains Of the mammoth, or hairy
elephant, whiCh~ is found in such im-
mense numbers in Siberia. These crea-
cures were so plentiful at time in
shat country that ivory hunters found it
more profitable to 90 there in search Of
that valuable article than to South At
RIGA, where elephants are supposed to be
az numerous AS boodlers in New York
city. Howorth says that they are inva-
riably found under conditions which
make it certain that they could not have
livel unless the surroundings and eli,
mate had been entirely different from
those existing at present. The remains
Of plants upon which they fed and the
southern contemporary shells which are
also frequently found with the remains
point to a sudden and wonderful change
of climatic conditions.
If Professor Howorth's argument is
to be given any weight, the Siberian
plateau is one of the most recent fea-
lures in the Known physical geography
Of the world. He figures that the pla.
teau was suddenly raised to its present
height, and that, prior to its sudden ele.
walton, it was "a warm stretch of low
land furnishing pasturage to thousands
of mammoth brutes. The rapid eleva.
ton, according to his deductions, sud,
denly CONCEALED the waters and froze
the gigantic animal bodies through and
through. thus preserving them intact
until the present day. He says that un
less these animals had been frozen i'm.
mediately after death they would GER
tainly have decayed and disappeared.
In some places, far to the east in 81.

regions of Alaska on our continent, the
remains Of the mammoth and other great
extinct animals have been found at 9

"As to the duty of a lawyer on the

was indicted for the murder of Aord

lips or to his solicitor the fact that he
was guilty of the crime.
"Mr. Phillips Immediately asked for
an adjournment of the case and for a
consultation with the judges. The con-
sultation was granted, and MI. Phillips
stated to the bench that the accused had
confessed his guilt and requested the
judges to point out to him his path CT
duty. The judges, after deliberation,
stated that he would have a perfect
right to make such legal and logical de-
auctions from the Evidence as he
thought tended to the exculpation of the
accused, but it would be unprofessional
to state to the jury any personal belief
Of his innocence.

Sioux Falls Press, 20: The case
known as the Homestake timber case in
which the United State government
seeks to recover from the Homestake
Mining company of the Black Hills dam
ages to the extent of about S1JO,0U for
the alleged cutting Of inhibited timber
from the public lands, has peel ordered
back to Deadwood for trial by Judge
Edgerton of the United States court.
The case was originally instituted at
Deadwood, but on a motion presented
and argued by the counsel for the gov
eminent a change of venue was granted
to Sioux Fells. The motion was elabor-
ately and ably argued IN both sides be-
fore Judge Edgerton last week, the COM
pany's attorneys maintaining the unnec-
essary expense and inconvenience to the
defendant that the bringing Of over 300
witnesses from that distant section Of
the state would involve, while Uncle
Sans attorney argued that i'll view Of
the %prejudices existing in that region
against government timber inspectors,
and the common sentiment existing
there among all classes in favor of using
all timber for mining purposes, the re-
turn Of the case to Deadwood for trial
would greatly jeopardize the govern
ment's chance for winning the suit.
The trial will probably take place at
the September term of the court.

MORE OF HOLMES CRIMES.
Said to Have Been Connected With thu
Annie Abduction.

Said to Have Been Connected With the
Annie Redmond Abduction.
CHICAGO, July, 22.-The Redmond
mystery is revived in a new aspect, q
connection with the Philadelphia in
surance fiend, Holmes, being shown.
Some years ago Chicago was startled
by the bold kidnapping of little Annie
Redmond, daughter OF a South Side
blacksmith. Her abductors, while
keeping their identity q secret, ad.
mitted in a series of notes sent to
the parents of the child their sole OBJ
ject was to hold her for a big ran
som. The kidnapping, as afterwards
proved, was done by a Mrs. Gurley,
| who sometime later was arrested for
the crime and sentenced, to five years
in the ~penitentiary. Mrs. Gurley re-
fused to talk much about the case at
1.-THE time, but threw out hints about
having done the job at the instigation
| Of other parties. This was considered
by the police to be done merely for ef-
feet and no organized effort was made
to look up the woman's associates.
Since the exposure of Holmes rascal
ity, it has been ascertained the Gurleys
were not only neighbors of his at Sixty
third and Wallace streets, but were on
intimate terms socially with him. 1t is
clear enough now to those who have
investigated the matter that the mys-
terious abduction Of the Redmond child
was a job put up by Holmes, and that
he used the Gurleys, over whom he had
some queer control, as his tools.
Whether the obtaining of a ransom
was his sole object or not is a matter
for doubt.
The peculiar manner of the kidnap.
ping, the way in which the child was
concealed and the mysterious wording
of the messages which were sent tc
harass the parents. tend to show some
hidden motive. Mr.. Redmond and his
wife quarrelled yer the matter, and
the blacksmith went insane and was
arraigned in court. his wife appearing
as prosecuting witness. A big lot Of
money was spent in trying to locate
the girl before the trail was finally
struck which led to the arrest of Mrs
Gurley. and yet there was never a tim.
when the child was q half q block from
Holmes store. her identity being 81
fectually concealed by dressing her il
boys clothes.
