COURT AT
The Koch Murder Trial Resulted in a
Hung Jury.

Judge Scott and R. C. Morris, court
stenographer. returned from Douglas
last night. says the Sun-Leader.
The court was in session eight days
the greater part of the time being tax
en- up with the trial of John Koch, a
sheep herder charged with the murder
Of Vedder. a prominent sheepman OF
Converse county. The defendant put
in a plea of self-defense. and the jury
after being out three days failed to
agree. eve standing for acquittal and
FIVE for manslaughter.
1t developed during the trial that
hoch had served two years In the peni-
Tertiary Of South Dakota for horse
stealing and had been charged with
cluded from the jury. Koch. who Is
only % years Of age. Is regarded as an
unsafe man to be at large. During the
trial when one of the witnesses swore
Lat the defendant admitted to him that
he intended to get away with Vedder,
the prisoner jumped to his feet and
broke forth in a violent rage. saying:
you lie, and you know o do when
you say that The scene created q
great stir in court and was very dra-
matte. The sheriff rushed to the pris-
oner and succeeded in quieting him.
Koch will probably be tried again at
the fall term of court.
There was also a sensational divorce
suit between a married couple Of Lusk
which took up the entire time Of tho
court for several days. The gentleman
in the case, who is a well known stock
man, was charged with cruelty and
other misdemeanors. but the principal
contest appeared to be ove the custody
OF the two minor children. and the divi>
sion Of the property. On the side of the
woman was arrayed all the forces Of the
w. c. T. IT,, while the husband had to
submit his good character upon the EVIL
dence Of cowboys and every day men
like himself. The principal disturber
of the domestic hearth appeared to be
an unmarried man of 45 years of age,
who has been giving the young matron
instructions in Delsarte or elocution in
order that they might take part in an
oratorical prize contest under the au.
spices of the w. C. T. U.
1t was the general impression of the
neighbors that the gentleman referred
to took too much interest in the family,
and his presence at the trial as a wit
ness only tended to deepen the belief.
Some even went SO far a to express
the opinion that he had alienated. the
affections Of the wife. The decree Of
the court which deprives the wife of the
custody of the children and alimony II
she marries within two years is not cal
culated to give the parties who institu-
ted the suit much satisfaction, II It was
their intention to take from the hus-
band both his property and his wife.

THE DODGE PLAcERs.

In speaking Of the Big Laramie plac-
ers below John McGill's, the Sun-Lead-
er says:
William Taylor of Rock Creek, ]. T.
Dodge and Mr.. Mertz have some rich
placer bars, which they are working.
A townsite has been laid out which
it is proposed to call Fa~untville, and
it will be a fiourishing camp before
summer is over.
The gold is mostly fine in character,
although some coarse gold and nuggets
are washed out.
The discovery of these rich gold
bearing deposits was made by Mr..
Dodge. a ranchman there, who en-
ployed some old California placer min
ers to dig a cellar on his homestead.
They saw some gravel which attracted
their Alteration, and on trying it found
it well charged with gold. Dodge then
abandoned his homestead and took up
the tract under the placer mining act.
From this circumstance the camp has
been called the Dodge City Placers" up
to the present time.
A big gold excitement is raging all
through this section.

Half Acre of Cane.

An exchange says that Mr.. Joel T.
McLendon, of Montclair, planted last
year a half acre in sugar cane. Seed
stalks cost him So 90. He ground part
of the crop, sold a part and retained
enough to plant another half acre.
From that which he ground, he made
40 gallons Of syrup of quality that
retails in this market for so cents gall
lon. He sold to his neighbors S52. so
worth of seed cane and to Leesburg gIo-
GERS 500 50 worth to retail for chewing.
Adding these amounts together and esti-
mating the seed he retained as worth
$500, we have S145. 10 as the value of the
total net receipts from the half acre of
cane planted by Mr.. Meier don.
To recapitulate: ITO gallons of syrup
at so cents equals $55; seed cane sold
$50 so; sold to grocers 5000; seed re-
served SO 90; total $145.19.
This crop was made on ordinary pine
land properly fertilized and the result
shows how profitable it is to grow sugar
cane in Florida on moderate scale.

Recipe for Grating Wax.

This recipe we have used for several
years, and it has proven to be the best
out of quite a number we have tried.
Take one pound of good white resin, one
ounce of clean beef tallow, one tablespoon
full of spirits of turpentine, and from
three to five ounces Of alcohol. Melt the
resin slowly; take from the fire and add
tallow, stirring it all the time. When
still cooler pour in turpentine slowly;
then add the alcohol. The alcohol should
not be put in until the resin is quite
cool. If put in when the resin is too
warm the alcohol will evaporate very
near as fast as it is put in. The object
of putting in the alcohol is to thin the
wax. To tell when you have enough
alcohol, dip small paddle in the wax,
touch your finger to the wax; if the fin
ger will part from the wax without
stringing it there is plenty. This is used
mostly for root grating the cherry, pear
and plum. This can be used for outdoor
grating in the spring. The wood alco-
hol is just as good as the commercial
alcohol and much cheaper. 1t is also
poisonous to be taken internally.-Ex.
