Most OF the ~persimmons consumed here como

from Florida and California by the sun. Tho
pcrsimmons from the more northerly States are
wild, those from the southern States nearly all
cultivated.
P~ersimmons OF several varieties are now

persimmon, and it grows larger. Some cult

An Arizona Jury's Verdict Is Heartily
Approved

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Dec. 1s.-On July
l of this year, William c. Green. a
wealthy stock raiser of this county, shot
and killed James Burnett in Tombstone
A feud of long standing was known to
exist, and Burnett had frequently made
threats against the life of Green. The
immediate cause of the killing was the
death of Green's little girl by drowning,
which was the result Of dam belonging
to Green being blown up by giant pow
der. Burnett came to Tombstone on the
day of the killing with the avowed pur-
pose Of killing Green. Before he could
accomplish this purpose Green fired
three shots, two Of which took effect in
Burnett's body, causing instant death.
Green was held in $50 900 bail. The trial,
which has been one of the most scrsa-
tional in the history of this county, closed
today and when the jury returned YER
dict OF not guilty, the court room was in
an uproar of applause.
