LOSING HIS APPETITE.

Harry Hayward Shows Signs of the Ter
rible Strain He Is Enduring.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. Ain spite of the
fact that Harry 7. Hayward presents
such calm and even exterior under the
pressure of his trial, the report comes
from the Jail that he is losing his appe-
tite. All through the long imprison-
ment and the tedious work Of selecting
the jury he was hearty eater, and
never complained Of his fare. Of late,
however, it is reported that he eats very
sparingly, and does not appear to relish
what he does eat. This is supposed by
some to be sign that his nerve is CIV
ing way, while others aver that his poor
appetite is due to the fact that man
who haas been accustomed to all the
delicacies Of life in a culinary way
would naturally become tired of such
fare as he is able to procure at the jail.
