gone through the top of the under
shirt. On cross-examination he swore
that Graft was friend of his and that
he was not friendly with Mr.. Pear
son.
The State here rested and R. M.
Dorsey was called as the first witness
for the defense. Mr.. Dorsey testified
that he had known Graft about six
years. About the 25th of last month
while Graft was staying in Elko he
told Mr.. Dorsey that he had got
new saddle and was going back to
Mardis and that he would make the
damned s. O. "a b Pearson
bite the dust. Mr.. Dorsey told him
not to do it; that if he did he would
not last an hour, and that he had
had trouble enough and to behave
himself. On cross examination MIR.
Dorsey swore that he had not COM
municated these threats to Mr.. Pear
son.
Mr.. Flint testified for the defense
that he had never told Call that Pear.
son was carrying gun for him and
had never heard anyone say it in his
presence. When he saw Graft in the
field and after his death his jumper
was buttoned with one button at the
bottom and possible two. HIS over
shirt was unbuttoned after his death.
About half an hour after CRAFTS death
Call rode up to Pearson's. Flint went
out of the house and told him that
Graft was dead. Call asked who
killed him and Flint told him he sup
posed Pearson did but he was not
present. Call then said "I'll go and
take him in" and threw his hand on
his gun and turned his horse toward
the south. Call told Flint on the 18th,
two days after Graft was killed, that
he would have been with Graft to see
that Charley had fair show had it not
been for his wife.
Joseph Callahan testified that he
drove the Coroner out from Deeth and
acted as the clerk of the. Coroner's in
quest. He described the condition of
the jumper as to being buttoned the
same as the Coroner and Mr.. Flint.
He also swore that the knife and
pistol were taken from under the
jumper and not rofm between the
overshirt and undershirt as sworn to
by Mr.. Hall.
William Funderbarg and Nephi
lessen were then called and gave
their evidence. A full synopsis of

Do Fishes Talk2

A naturalist has been making some
Investigations in the fish ponds at
Guilford, with regard to the much de-
bated question as to whether fish can
communicate notion of their expe-
rienoes to other fishes. The expert
menter, when he had caught a trout,
threw it back alive into the pond.
Then he put in freshly baited hook,
and only two or three trout came after
it. BY experimenting in another
pond, equally well stocked, and not
throwing back any fish, Mr.. Field
found that he could catch trout with
out any trouble. This seems to show
that captured fishes, when released,
may communicate their sufferings to
their neighbors in the pond.

900 dozen cans. A big industry in
packing clans and making and bot
ting clam juice has lately become es
tablished, and about $4,000 dozer
cans of clans we're put up this year.
Salt cod, herrings and other such

have hitherto been supplied from the
East, and there are good indications
that the industry will grow to great
proportions.

Go tons Of melons, pears and plums
have been thrown into the sea. The
latter way of disposing of the fruit
was one Of wilful waste, for it might
have been given to the poor of the
city-people too poor even to buy the
stuff, cheap as it was. But this course
would not have been business and
probably would have prevented sales
on succeeding days. One day recently
canteloupes were selling in San Fran
cisco for ten cents crate, and water
melons could not be sold even at two
to five cents each. That same after
noon 500 crates of canteloupes, 200
crates of watermelons, and a great
amount of plums and pears were
dumped into the bay.
