DURANT IN THE TOLLS.
The Judge Considers the Evidence
Against Him Complete.

SAN Francisco, May 3.-Theo-
dore Durant will be placed on trial
for the murder of Minnie
Williams. He was held to an
swer on the charge in the Su-
perior court and bail refused. Judge
COnlon, the committing magistrate,
in rendering his decision briefly
reviewed the case and the evidence
adduced against Durant. In con-
clusion the judge said:
"The people, l consider, have
surely wound the chain OF circum-
stantial evidence in this case
around Durant, and, to cap the eli
max, the property Of the dead girl
was found in his possession. The
chain is complete and in my
opinion nothing is wanting"
subsequently, Durant's prelimi-
nary examination for the murder
Of Blanche Lamont was had. The
evidence so far given was a precise
repetition of that al the inquest
yesterday and related to Durant's
accompanying the girl from the
school on the day she was murdered
and to his social intimacy with

Remarks.
The Caliph Of Bagdad sat on his
throne with all his courtiers and
attendants around him. 1t was
announced that a deputation Of in
f1uential citizens was without the
door, awaiting audience. Accor-
dinghy he gave orders that they be
admitted in turn. The first citizen
having been admitted, and having
thrice bowed his head to the floor,
spoke as follows:
"Most worthy descendant Of Mo-

The Caliph gave a sign to the
Lord High Executioner; there was

can be cared for in winter by raising corn
for fodder and millet. The corn crop is
practically safe one, and as soon as
grass is up in the spring stock will take
care of themselves. The grass OF this
state is the farmers greatest source of

the soil in short time. It would be a

SWINE

The Nichols Bros. OF Oakes, have a
number OF pens of Chester White hogs
that are very fine animals The head of
the herd is 6lO pound slre Two fami-
lies are shown; among them is 40C
pound SOW, 2 pair AZ months pigs, 3 six
months pigs, and six four months old.
All are large growth, showing the early
maturity of the breed. The Chester
Whites are considered the best pig for
this climate, as they can be killed and
sold at profit in from s to 10 months,
giving quick returns. They are less
easily crippled up and fatten easily on
barley, I'VE and millet, besides other hog
food on farm. Mr.. H. S. Nichols, who
Is with the exhibit, says that farmers
IN this state always have q certain
amount Of hog food that if not fed to
pigs goes to waste. The plan of having
a half dozen brood sows to utilize this
feed IS the safest one. No farmer can,
with profit, go extensively into the rails
ing of hogs in this state, as IN corn
country, but no farmer should be with
out few good grade pigs to turn off oc-
casionally and furnish meat for bis own
table.
Speaking Of the business of farming as
it is now seen here, Mr.. Nichols says:
mo farmer can afford to continue wheat
raising at present prices. Stock raising
is the only thing that will make him in
dependent and keep him from debt. We
buy all our family groceries and dry
goods from the dairy, and from our sheep
pay for about all the store bills we have.
We raise some wheat but don't depend
on it to make profit in cash Stock
