COSTLY BRANDS.
A Change Advised in the Present
 Branding System.

Southwestern Stockman: A Texas stock paper has taken up for discussion the question as to whether it pays stockmen to side-brand their cattle The cause for the discussion is the fact that side-branding has a tendency to depreciate the value of hides. The side-brand, it is claimed, costs the cow man $2.75 in the value placed on the animal at the stock pen. The more re- moved the brands are from the center of the hides the higher the price paid and consequently the better figure the animal brings. For instance a steer branded on the neck is worth $2 more than steer branded on the side
 Leather manufacturers recommend that cattle, if branded at all, be brand ed on the jaw, neck or low on the shoulder or thigh. This is a matter which has had the attention of but few cattlemen, and yet is worthy of careful consideration. To show that no atten- tion has been given to the location of a brand when taken into connection with the probable difference in value of the hide, one has only to glance over any brand register to see that some brands cover almost the whole animal, render ing the hide practically valueless.

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Two Children Killed and a Woman Badly Hurt at Longfellow.

1Solomonville Bulletin: w. E. Beck was down from Morenci this week and tells The Bulletin of fatal accident at one of the mines in the Longfellow group one day last week. The mine was being worked by leasers who were running a tunnel into the side of the hill.
 A Mexican woman and two children had walked up to the mouth of the tunnel and were standing there when the Mexican who was working in the tunnel came running out halloing Fire" which is customary as an alarm when a blast is about to be shot off. The woman not understanding the meaning of the alarm and being frightened, ran into the tunnel with her two children, when immediately the blast went off, knocking. several tons of rock onto them.

A LAW UNTO THEMSELVES Operations of the Kan garOo Court. New Officers in the County
 Jail.  The Trial of a Prisoner for Stealing the Tobacco of His
 Comrades.

Since Jose Maria Sortillon has been taken to Yuma from the county jail, the kangaroo court has been without a president. The grand jury has about cleaned out the other officers, so yes terday the prisoners held an election of officers.
 There was considerable rivalry over the proud position of judge of the court, but a choice, Juan Baldes, was made without any serious outbreak. Juan Rivera was elected sheriff, but a big kick went up, flor Rivera is short term man and the prisoners wanted an officer who was destined to spend somemonths in jail. ''He is all right, , said the newly elected president, ''by the time he is out of jail, I will be out also; then it won't make any difference with me who you then elect" The de- cision of the president was accepted and after a few minor officers were ap- pointed, the court settled down to bus mess.
 A new set of rules was made for the punishment of the prisoners. The new rules are very rigid, and woe betide the luckless individual who breaks them.
 Not one hour after the new officers were installed the sheriff arrested a man for stealing. This is serious of fense and the president immediately called the court to order to try the thief.
 The prisoner was brought before the court, who appointed counsel for the defense. The atcuser was brought in as a witness. He testified that the prisoner had stolen his smoking to- bacco. The prosecution introduced damaging testimony and the trembling prisoner saw no hope but in the plea his attorney might make. The defense made a very able argument and tried to prove an allbi to the effect that the accused was in another part of the jail at the time the robbery occurred
 The court complimented the attorney on his able defense, but stated that the fact had been proven that the pris- oner at the bar was the guilty party and even if he was innocent, he mus be punished to set an example. The court then pronounced sentence, whicl was that the prisoner should receive thirty strokes on his anatomy with { strap.
 The sheriff and his henchmen seized the prisoner and proceeded to execute the sentence of the court. The cries O the poor individual could be heard al over the court house, as each resound ing whack was given. The thirty blows were given and the sheriff pu in one extra for fear he might havt overlooked a bet.
 The officers of the county jail winl at the punishment of the kangaroo court, for order is maintained and tn, interior of the jail kept scrupulousl! clean and the court saves the jail off cials much trouble.

THE DUCK SEASON.
Local Sportsmen Making Preparations
 For Enjoyable Sport.

Local nimrods are now cleaning their guns and laying in stock of ammuni- tion, for the duck season is now at hand.
 JAS yet, only few lovers of the sport, have made expeditions after the wild fowl, for the season is early and ducks and geese are few. A few amateurs, however, who have made trips down the river report that ducks are plenti- ful, but it is noticeable that they had nothing to show for the assertion.
 Such well known sportsmen as Lin coln Fowler, Dr. Jessop and Brookie Gregory say that from the beginning of December until the middle of Feb ruary the feathery fowl will be plenti- ful at their favorite haunts at the june tion of the Salt and Gila rivers, about sixteen miles down the Salt.
 These sportsmen are authority on the subject, and say that the best time for shooting geese is in the morning from 5 to o'clock in the grain fields and alfalfa patches. When the sun gets high in the heavens they fly to the river. At night is also a good time for hunting geese nd the best time is when the moon is full and while f1eecy clouds partially obscure the skies, for then they can be seen best and may be shot over decoys in the fields As for ducks they may also be shot over de- coys, for truly enjoyable sport, and water is smooth or wherever the haunts of the ducks may be. Sports men say that the canvasback duck are rarity in this country very few of them having been seen. Mallards and teal ducks are plentiful in season, and there are also numbers of widgeons Sand hill cranes and honkers are ire quently shot but they are not very plentiful
 Nimrods are as yet giving their at- tion to quail, for they do not relish 8 twenty-mile expedition after ducks and geese with a strong possibility of re- turning empty handed.
 As for quail, they are plentiful ir various parts of the valley. "A few days ago Dr. Jessop and a couple ot

He shuddered at the thought.

helped now. There's little to choose
between detective and criminal in my
opinion. The criminal inficts an
injury on society, and the detective in
fiicts an injury on the criminal; and
the best defense that the detective can
make is the old school-boy claim: The

CHAPTER II.
Horace prehlc.

There Is police officer in West Point
who has considerable reputation as a
detective. His name is Bernard Kelly.
Within an hour after the message was
sent out from Sunnyside Kelly arrived
Meanwhile we had made several i'm
portant discoveries. First we ques-
toned the servants. There We're six.
Three of them believed that they had
heard a sound like O pistol shot, about
the. time when the crime must have
been committed. The other three were
sure that they had not. OF the latter,
Hanley, the butler was the most i'm
portant witness. He was nearer to the
Long Room during the critical period
than any other person not actually
within 1t. He had heard nothing, but
he had seen something of consequence
namely a man, whom he did not
know, walking hurriedly away from
the house. This person the butler had
seen from a window. He attached no
Importance to the circumstance at the
time; indeed, he did not mention it
until ] had sharply questioned him.
This was just before Kelly arrived.
My first vague suspicious had cen-
tered upon Hanley. They were found
ed only upon his demeanor at the time
when he and I were together in the
Long Room Immediately after my dis
covery of the crime. Certainly there
could not have been a more perfect pic
ture of guilty terror than he furnished
then. His horror of the body, and es-
pecially of the blood; his eagerness to
escape from the room: his dread of
questioning, were all suggestive.
But l could not at first supply mo-
tive for him. That came later, when,
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-04-30

we need not be long in doubt. If Capt.
Marshall will accompany me to the
spot we can learn whether there was
an accidental discharge of rifle at the
hour named
II may add" he continued, that the
whole aspect of this case indicates the
work of chance. 1t had not from the
first the appearance of human device.
The absolutely impartial bearing of
the facts, which implicated equally
every person who could have been
physically present, showed a broader
grasp of detail than any man can
claim. The minor crime of Hanley
strikes in discordantly with the rest.
You can readily see the difference be-
tween design and fate which can have
no purpose. This terrible event is the
forerunner of many which will follow
upon this new development of modern
arms. And the tragedies will not all
be accidents. If a murderer can by re-
peated trials at last strike down his
victim at the distance of more than a
mile he will be less often restrained
by mere cowardice."
He bade us goodbye and went away
with Marshall and Kelly. In an hour
we received telephone message from
the last named, that Preble's theory
had been confirmed.

dinning room which adjoined It, not ten
minutes before any discovery of the
murder. Hanley, with white lips, de-
MED that he had been In that room
since morning.
Marshall and Hilton divided between
them the care of the body and did not
consult me. / passed the night in tor

came from her mothers room to speak

At o'clock l was standing on the
veranda in front of the house when
the sound of wheels startled me, and I
saw carriage containing Bernard
Kelly and a man who leaned far back
with his face in the shadow. 1t flashed
across me in second that Kelly had
solved the riddle, arrested the mur-
derer. and was bringing him to the
house. If that was SO, the prisoner
could be no other than the man whom
Hanley had seen. And then thought
Of the steps that had heard, and had

me to see the face of the shadow.

DR.. Hilton there. Margaret greeted
Preble with great cordiality. She said
that she felt much relieved at having
has advice and aid, for she had always
thought him to be gifted with an ex-
ceptionally clear mind.
IF my present theory of this terrible
mystery proves to be correct" said
Preble, II think we shall all feel great
ly relieved. 1t is only theory at pres
ent, and its basis Is no more than this"
He opened his hand and showed IA
splinter of wood about an inch and a
half long. For my part 1 had no idea
of it's bearing upon the case. The Others
seemed equally at loss.
II found this on the floor at that end
of the room," he said, pointing away
from the generals desk. 1T was
knocked off the inside of the wall by
the bullet which killed your father. 1t
surprises me. gentlemen. that when
you had found where the bullet went
out you should not have looked for the

But, Preble," 1 exclaimed, "you are
not going to tell us that the murderer
fired through that wall and across the
whole length of this room?''
"And a mile of open country be-

theory is true. Capt. Marshall, will

Marshalrs forehead was wet with
perspiration.

"You mean," 1 cried, that the acci-
dental discharge of a rifle which was
being tested is responsible for this ter
rible calamity"

Preble, "and I have proven the direc-
ton in which it came. The weapon
