DAVIS GUILTY OF LIBEL.
Arguments, However, for "a New
Trial Will Be Heard


The jury in the case of E. w. Davis,
or Detroit, Mimi, who was on trial in
the police court yesterday, charged
with criminal libel by Game Warden
Stephens, returned a verdict Of guilty.
Attorney Countryman, who appeared
for Davis, as soon as the verdict had
been announced moved to- ahave the
verdict set aside on the ground that
the finding of the jury was not sustain
ed by the evidence. The point was
also made that there had been no proof
of publication introduced. The further
point was also raised that the defen-
dant could not be convicted on the I'M
cOrroborated evidence of the accom-
plice, who in this case, the attorney
cOntended, was the reporter who in
dited the libel.
Judge Orr overruled the motion to
set aside the verdict but on the motion
for new trial, said he would hear
the arguments. The case was contin-
ued to Wednesday for this purpose,
and Mr.. Davis released on his own
recognizance.

WONDERING WHY 1T WAS
That the Trunk Lines Cancelled
Tint Agreement.

The reason why the Eastern trunk lines
suddenly cancelled the agreement with West
ern Freight association lines TO put in Che
$1.15 rate from the Atlantic seaboard to st.
Paul in competition with the 500 line was
not learned locally yesterday. and there is
still some little speculation as to the reason.
A New York agent Of one Of the Chicago
st. Paul lines wired yesterday that the reason
not known in New York, but that the
trunk lines were putting up the bluff that
the reason for their action was based the
fact that trouble might be expected from the
interstate commerce commission.

A Story Of General Lew wallace.

When General Lew Wallace was serv-
ing as territorial governor of New Mex
leo. few years ago, he shipped home to
Indiana carload of curios for his
friends. The collection for the most
part consisted of boxes of minerals,
furs, Indian blankets and beadwork,
and with them was included diminu-
tive Mexican burro, or donkey, intend
ed for a neighbors child as a pet
When the car reached its destination,
the freight agent, in checking up the
contents of the car, misunderstood the
word "burro," and, thinking that it
was the phonetic attempt of some illit-
crate railroader to spell bureau, was
unable to find any piece Of furniture to
lit the bill of lading. On the other
hand, he found in the car a long cared
donkey not included i'll the bill.
According to custom, Whenever irreR-
ularities are discovered, he promptly
telegraphed back to the shipping point:
"Car 81, 800, Albuquerque, consigned
Wallace, arrived minus one bureau,
plus one jackass. Please trace and noti-
fy." General Wallace himself dictated
the answer, "Change places with the

He Has a Strange Power.

1t is e curious thing--the power which
human beings have over animals. There
is in Lowell boy, differing in no re-
spect from his companions, who has this
power in marked degree. Every stray
dog or cat III the neighborhood knows
him and loves to be in his company. A
vicious horse which the stablemen can
with difficulty handle will stand like a
lamb while he harnesses and unhar.
nesses him. The doves fly around him,
and in the woods the wild birds appar-
emily regard him as friend and ally.
The most remarkable exhibition Of
his power, which has long been known
and commented on by his friends, was
given the other day. A large and vi
cious rat was captured in the stable in
one of those traps which permit of easy
ingress and no egress. The men who
were looking at the animal were afraid
to go near the trap, the animal showed
such terror, but the boy, when he be-
held the imprisoned creature, fearlessly
put out his finger and stroked its head
the rat manifesting as much pleasure as

passed since then, and the stablemen
are still afraid of their capture, but he
has grown so tame and familiar with
the boy as to allow him to take him out
and put him in the trap, will come at
his whistle and manifests every appear
ance of joy at his presence. There seems
to be no question but what the boy could
train that rat to perform almost any
feat within the power of such an ami

his fare was.

"Well, you shall have one for her,

requested his agent to hand the man tho
tickets. That evening he looked about
the hall for his colored admirer, but
saw nothing of him The next morning,

he discovered that the vehicle was driven
by the same man.

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
A New Plan For Teaching the Pole Ee
Has a Strange Power-A Story
Of General Lew Wallace.

An entirely new scheme locking to
aeriel navigation and fight has been
suggested by A. W. Nitsch Of Boston.
1t is such decided departure from all
the propositions heretofore advanced for
utilizing the atmosphere for purposes
of transit as to command serious atten-
ton from scientists and others to whom
1t has been presented.
1t is the idea Of Mr. Nitsch that the
subtle magnetic attraction that holds
the needle Of the mariners compass
with answering fidelity to the north
can be utilized in magnified form for
mans convenience, profit and pleasure.
Accepting the theory advanced that
vast deposits Vf magnetic ore exist IN
the immediate vicinity Of the north
pole, and from there come the magnetic
currents distributed over the globe, and
that it is the attraction Of this thus far
unbounded field that draws with magic
power the needle Of the compass, there
is nothing, as Mr. Nitsch looks at it,, to
prevent it's being made Of real service.
~ believe, said he. that magnets
could be suspended in the air of suffi-
cient force to counterfeit the resistance Of
the air, overcome the adverse currents
and move more or less rapidly toward
the north. y Mr.. Nitsch says that it
might not prove possible, but it was
open to argument and experiment, and
there was no telling what might come
of it. As to the methods Of return
should such fight as pictured ever be
taken--that was spoken of as a problem
that would be solved quickly. Chicago
