DISTRICT COURT.

Aue gIduu jury reported Jle county
Offices in good condition and then adj
journed.
Pedro Malta, who recently busted a
jail guards head open with a shovel,
plead guilty to assault and was SEN
fenced to the pe~nitentiary for a year.
Judgements for taxes were rendered
against G. f. W. Seminole, T. N.
Hawkins, Mimbres Consolidated Min.
ing Co., d. G. Hobart ct al, Edward
Moulton, j. b. Galbreath and Bishop
g. Co.
The Silver City national bank, rep
resentiug a large number Of claims
against the county obtained a judg-
meut for 80, 96S.94 with interest, and
Glllett s. Son, representing similar
claims, obtained a Judgment for 81
679.21 with interest.
The case against Harry Styles, who
killed O'Neil at VIM. Wilson's place
on the river, was tried, and Of course
he was acquitted. The jury probably
thought O'Neil committed suicide.
NOTES.
The following is the list Of the jur-
ors who acquitted Davenport; E. G.
Rabb, Upper Aimbres; Yves Williams,
Gold Fill; Patrick Carroll and @. w.
Marriott, Silver City; G. W. McSherry,
W. R.. Hutchinson and Thomas Ew;
ing, Central; w. P. Doyle, Upper ella
John L. Oglesby and w. N. Handy,

L. Aayaeld, Deming.
When 1t was een there was little
chance of the jurors at this term of
court c%envicting any enc the repre-
sentative of the Diamond A cattle
company thought the best thing he
could do was to compromise the case
against Jesse Fisher. A meeting was
arranged at which Fisher disclaimed
ownership OF the cattle wearing the
blotched brands, admitted that they
belonged to the Diamond A company
and promised not to blOtch any mere
brands. In consideration or these
agreements the Diamond A company
secured the dismissal of the case.
Since Hy Fisher and B. B. Ownby
left town more solid eatables appear
on the Thinner house table. No long
er do a cup Of coffee and a smile pass
for a square meal.
1t has leaked out that ting reason an
indictment vas not found against a
certain person was not because the
jury thought the nan not guilty, but
because the jury thought one of the
witnesses had a spits against the ac-
cused. Another man was not indict-
cd BECAUSE when brought into the
grand jury room and questioned he
freely confessed he was not guilty.
The grand jury, or at least a majority
of its members, seem to have been
quite a sophisticated set of individu-
ais.
A prominent federal Official, who
was in Silver City last week, is report
ed to have told an acquaintance that
il better juries were not secured in
Grant county he would not be sur
prised to see the ~people'take the IN
forcement Of justice into their own
hands.

II. L. Cannon, formerly a well
known L~ordsburger, was recently
elected mayor of Pottsboro, Texas.
Mr.. Cannon was a candidate on the
free silver ticket. Although the gold
bugs spent big money trying to defeat
him his personal popularity was so
strong that he was triumphantly
elected and carried his entire ticket
with him. Except FL Paso Pottsboro
is probably the only city in Texas
Which is presided over by a mayor
who is a republican.

AS NEARLY as has been ascer-
tanned, 275, 900 lives were lost in
1895 by battle, railroad accidents
and other disasters in the United
States and other countries. The lost
of life at sea has been estimated as
1000, and on inland waters at I4S.
These losses in 1894 reached nearly
1000. In the United States 5000
persons lost their lives by railroad
accidents last year, and 2,6Io were
seriously injured. The fatalities
from fires were 1880, explosions
$50, falling buildings 1870, mines
73o, cyclones and storms 4Io, and
lightning 800. Loss of life by bat
tie last year, the Chicago 7ri6nne
says, cannot be closely estimated,
but it is believed that it reached

India, Cuba and South America

RUSSIA calmly calls Siberia her
Canada. She does more. Russia
observed that Canada had in four
years built 5000 miles of railway
and thus enormously increased her
business and population wholly
without outside assistance. The
Cars government sent some engi-
neers out to British North America
to see how the thing had been
done. On the report Of these
agents Russia proceeds to duplicate
Canada's achievement in Siberia,
improving somewhat upon it by
putting in the Siberian railway al
IS per cent Of the cost of the Cana
dian Pacific.

The Snakes Poison Fang.

A common belief regarding snakes ia
that they can spit or project their venom
a considerable distance and thus poison
any person whose eyes may be too intently
riveted upon the animal. The poison fang
mark the singular term, for thereby
hangs this tale-is followed by channel
in the hinder part of 1t. The edges of this
channel are curved and meet so closely al
to form a sort Of tube, the fang bends back
ward, and until erected by the muscles
which move 1t lies back against the pal
ate. When the snake is enraged, the fang
u erected.
At the base Of the fang is the glanc
which secretes the poison. This gland IL
in close contact with the maxillary bone
to which the fang il united by anchyloset
tissue. The bone itself is movable ant
may be rotated on its transverse axis b!
muscles. Thus, in the act of striking, tn,
snake erects its fang, and the act of strik
ing, bringing pressure to bear upon tn
gland, causes the fluid poison to be forced
into the tube, and thus elected into tn
wound. Doubtless the attempt to escap
from its enemy causes the victim to fore
the fang from its erectile position in for
ward direction and thus increase the pres
sure on the gland and add to the quantit.
Of poison injected New York TiIses.

The Improved Nation
al Stone Water Filter is

the most complete water filter
in the market and is the lowest
in price. No better investment
of your money can be made
than by placing an IMPROVED
NATURAL STONE WATER FILTER
in your home and Office. Every
dollar expended for pure water
is an investment on which the
interest is paid in good health.
During the late cholera cpl
demic the people of Honolulu
and the other islands saw the
necessity of having pure water
in their houses.
The Board of Education also
required that all water placed
in the school houses should be
thoroughly filtered before
using.
Out of nearly fifty NATURAL
STONE FILTERS that we had in
stock at the outbreak of cho-
lera we sold them all, placed
a second order and finally in
order to accommodate our
patrons loaned the one we had
been using in the office.
These filters are sold all over
the United States, Canada and
the West Indies, and from one
and all of the agencies the very
best of satisfaction is reported.
Let US suggest to you that
you call at our store and see
the filters in working order.
