How Prairie Dogs Disposed OF N
EviI-DispOsed Reptile.
In conversation with a gentleman who
has just made trip through western
Indian territory picked up something
new and interesting to me in regard to
the habits of the prairie dog and rattle
snake. This party said that few weeks
ago, while resting under small tree
in the territory where there was a dog
town, he noticed conlmotion among
some dogs near him; they would Run
up to place and peep at something and
then scamper off. Looking to see what
was the matter, he saw that there were
about Is to 90 dogs around a rattle
snake, which at length went into one oi
the dog holes. AS soon as he had disap
peared the little fellows began to push
in dirt, evidently to fill the hole up
but about the time they got enough
dirt to cover the entrance the snake
stuck his head up through the dirt and
every dog scampered off to a safe dis
tance, all the time keeping up an in.
cessant barking. The snake slowly
crawled to another hole about rod dis.

dogs again and went to work to push
the dirt up before them to the hole,

prise and completely covered the en-
trance to the hole, and then went to
work, using their noses to tamp with
and pounding the dirt down hard, after
which they went away. My friend went
to the place and said he was surprised
to find they had packed the dirt in solid
with their noses, having sealed the
snake well to the ground. Forest and

Amusing Experiences of Scientists
While Making Experiments.
Many amusing experiences have been
the lot of the scientists who have been
manipulating kites for scientific pur'
poses. Large birds are always inter-
ested in the strange devices floating in
the air and cannot make out quite what
they are.
No bird, however, has ever alighted
on kite or attacked one, says the Chi
cago News. While one scientist was
flying train of five kites couple OF
years ago, large silver-tipped faglo
came suddenly out of the higher aiF and
swooped round and round the tirsdkite,
looking against the sunset sky like q
huge silver ball. AS the train of kites
was pulled in the eagle followed, visit
ing one kite and then another, seeming
uncertain just what to do. In a few
minutes, when he seemed to have de-
cided that they were not good to eat,
and he knew nothing about them any
way, he indignantly few off and was

OhIo's Great wheat Crop.


Columbus. Sept. 1O.-The state board
of agriculture will issue no state crop
bulletin for this month. Enough is
known, however, to put the Ohio wheat
crop for 1897 at over $1,000. 900 bushels-
1t may run up toward As, 900. 900. That
Is to say, it is one of the largest wheat
crops the state ever produced. The
largest wheat crop Ohio ever had was
in 1894, but most of it sold for less than
80 cents bushel.
But six times has the wheat yield Of
Ohio exceeded 40, 900, 900 bushels 1t is
fair to assume that the Ohio farmers
have already realized $4,000, 900 from
the wheat crop of 1897. The other half
of the Ohio crop is being held for home
consumption, for seed and for higher
priced market. 1t means probably just
so many dollars to the holders OF it.
Added to the SIS, 600, 900 already taken,
it make total of about S35, 900, 900 that

Opening Addresses to the Jury by

CHICAGO, Dec 14.-After two weeks
spent in securing a jury, the second
trial of Adolph L. Luetgert, the burly
sausage maker, accused of numbering
his wife, Louisa, was commenced be-
fore Judge Gary today. The court
room was crowded when the case was
called.
The prosecution, as in the former
trial, was represented by States At
torney Deneen and his assistant, Mr..
McEwen, while Luetgert had at his
side as his defenders, Attorneys Har-
mon, Riese and Kehoe. Assistant
States Attorney McEwen made the
opening address for the state.
At the close of Mr.. McEwen's address
an adjournment was taken. until af-
ternoon at the request of Attorney
Harmon. In asking for this adjourn
ment Mr.. Harmon said that certain
points in Mr.. McEwens address new to
the defense needed a detailed answer,
and to get material for rejoinder time
was required for consultation with
the defendant. Judge Gary said the
request was a reasonable one, and the
hearing went over. At the afternoon
session Luetgert's side of the case was
presented to the jury.

Five jurors in the box was the record
for the first day of the proceedings in
the trial of the case of the state against
William 3. Haskell, manager Of the
Times, for criminal libel.
From the way the case started in
the morning it looked very much as
If 1t would take several weeks to select
the jury. Mr. Jackson, for the de-
Tense, insisted upon asking the first
juror regarding his acquaintance with
every member of the complainant COM
pany, and when the examination Of the
first witness was completed an hour
had been spent. The examination liv-
ened up somewhat after that, however,
and when the court finally adjourned
sixteen jurors had been called and eX-
amined, a very small number for the
work of whole day. 1t seemd to be
the effort of the defense to obtain
jurors who are as illterate as possible,
in order that they may not understood
the evidence, which will be quite intri-
cate in the way Of figures and business
methods. 1t was apparent that this
was what the defense was after, for
the reason that every man who appear
ed to be poorly educated or foreigner
who might not be we'll up IN business
matters was passed by the defense
without challenge, and it was the state
that was obliged to question and show
ignorance of the English language and
customs. 1t is hoped that the jury can
be completed today anc, the taking of
the evidence begin Thursday morning.
Some little feeling croppe7 out during
the morning on the part OF Mr.. Jack
son, but he was promptly called to time
by Judge Belden who insist I'd that the
case should be tried in a dignified man
ner and without insinuation. Mr. Jack
son said:
II received notice yesterday afternoon that
the state had determined to move for trial
the case against William E. Haskell. 1 think
l am justified in saying that counsel for the
state have practically agreed with US in the
conclusion that, under our statutes, the in
dctment against the corporation is not tena-
ble-that there is no provision of law author
izing Indictment for libel against a corpora
ton; and that that is the reason why the
case against one of the individual parties in
dicted is brought forward, instead of the case
against the corporation. I, therefore, make
a motion now, before the court takes up the
case of the state against Haskell, to quash
the indictment against the Times Newspaper
company, on the ground that there is no au-
thority of law for any such Indictment and

BARBER Charged With the Murder of
His Fourth Wife

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Charles Zanol-
Il, the barber, who has been held on
suspicion of causing the death Of some
Of the many people on whose lives he
obtained insurance, was arraigned in
police court today on the charge of
homicide in causing the death Of Jen-
ME Sumner, his fourth and last wife,
by the use of poison or some other
means. The charge was based upon the
result of the preliminary examination
upon the body of Jennie Summer, which
was exhumed yesterday. The death
certificate of that woman gave typhoid
fever as the cause. The cursory inves-
tigation made by the experts yesterday
proved that typhoid fever was not a
direct cause of death.
zanollt has already pleaded guilty to
the charge of defrauding an insurance
company, but has positively denied that
he was in any way responsible for the
deaths of his four wives and the other
persons whose insurance he obtained.

ensued, during which the chief told

again told him he was interfering and
ordered him to move on. This demand
met with refusal and the chief called

however, and left the scene The
trouble grows out of the allegations
