Ex Supervisor Flsnnigan. Of Iron River. Placed
in a Disagreeable Predieament.
Thomas III. Flanagan, ex-supervisor
OF Iron River, appears TO have charge
Of perjury staring him in the face. Flan-
nig'ln was witness in damage suit
brought by Cook Brothers against the
500 Railroad for the destruction OF the
formers cedar yards at Corliss, on May
10, 1893. The plaintiffs claimed that
the fire was due to sparks from the
locomotive Of the 500 road. The jury
returned n verdict for $27 800, which
was set aside by Judge Hastings and
judgment for $55 900 was given the
plaintiffs. The case has been appealed
to the supreme court. The case was
given hearing in Marinette on Wednes-
day OF last week, In speaking OF il the
Mariuette Eagle says;
"a detective for the company,'a well
known MaIinette man, was given the
case and had to hunt up the where
abouts vi Flanagan on the 10Th Of
May.
cater laboring several months, il was
finally discovered by the 500 road that
Flanagan was in Iron River on the 10th
and Goth Of May, 1893, when the fire
occurred. TO substantiatc this six wit
nesses were brought from Iron River
Wednesday and put on the stand.
They were j. w. Whalen, q. A. McRae,
+. u. Meyers and vile, and j Thompson
aud vile,
"They testified that Flanagan attend
ed the funeral of Mrs Whalen. n prom.
inent lady OF Iron River. on the 10Th Of
May They knew il because Flannigan
was nc the house OF Mrs. Whalen and
his condition was such that he talked "a
little louder than the rest oi the people
in the house According to his story
in the 500 case he was at Corliss. sixty
miles away, that day Atty Webster
for the Cook Bros. attempted To break
down the testimony OF the witnesses
Wednesday, but was unable 60 do so.
"Ihe attorneys for the 500 road ex-
pcct that the case ill be sent back for

with the testimony of the Iron River
people they will be able to knock out

BY ORDER OF THE SHERIFF.
Benner Postpones His Intended Tour Of Mexico
and Returns 20 Iron County.

and Returns 70 Iron County
And now he is Gagged.
The face that peers through the heavy
iron bars OF the big "cage" in the county
jail reflects but little hopes OF liberty.
1t is the lace OF the man who has twice
unceremoniously departed from the in
hospital habitation OF the law breakers
Charles Benner.
He was appreheuded near Eagle River,
Wis, for the second time, Wednesday.
The capture was effected by Officer
Murphy, OF Eagle River, the same who
turned Benner over To Sheriff Waite less
than a month ago. He was waiting on
the Rhinelander road for chance TO
Jump" north-bound train. it being his
intention TO go to Minnesota. Word
reached Eagle River that he was there
and Officer Murphy and companion
went to the place, about six miles from
the town and succeeded in bagsing the
game.
Sheriff Waite went to Eagle River
Thursday morning and returned Thurs
day evening. Under Sheriff Tromblay
and Thad Waite drove across the coun-
ty to Iron River Thursday afternoon
to meet the sheriff and his charge and
the prisoner was brought to the county
seat Thursday evening and placed in the
big cage" in the county Jail. His
chances OF again breaking out are
decidedly slim and he appears to be
fully reconciled TO meeting with Judge
Stone.
Benner says it was so easy TO escape
that he couldn't resist the temptation.
He says the sheet iron in the ceiling was
loose and he merely pushed it aside,
crawlcd into the garret and pried up the
bricks and the other layer OF sheet iron.
! The battered end OF the heavy hard
wood block found in the garrct would
| Indicate that the task was not such an
easy one. The prisoner also denies the
story that he had broken Jail in the
lower part Of the state three times pre-
vious to his trouble in Iron county. lie
said lac was never under arrest before
and offers to give the addresses OF prom
incnt men in Indiana, his native state
who will testify to his previous good
character. But, whatever may have
been his previous character, he is now
closely guarded in the county Jail, and
will not again escape before the juno
term OF Circuit court, when he will
answer to the charge OF forgery.

William X. Vanderbilt, il is re-.

direct and practical manner in which
he could be Of service to his country.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, if his decision is as

At the last session of the Nevada
Legislature law was passed making
il obligatory on the part Of every voter
to produce poll tax receipts for the

great dissatisfaction and was regarded
as q measure enforcing the purchase

son, a resident Of Carson, applied for
registration and was refused because
Of his inability 10 produce poll tax re-
ceipts. The matter will be carried
into the courts as test. The general
impression Is that the law will be de-
clared unconstitutional.

found that the dirt run on an average

the lake by means of a tunnel, and
work all the ground beneath the water
surface. The discovery of gold in this
unexpected quarter was made some
months ago by p. Moore,' formerly

located the entire lake, and since then
many other claims bordering on the
water front have been staked.

Whoever attempts to prune a fruit

should be able to assign a scientific
reason for pruning off one or more of
such portions of the tIee-top. II a

as likely to damage a tree as to i'm

correspondent of the Country Gentle

wood-chopper to prune his apple trees,
using no tools but wood-ohopper g ak.
The man was an expert with the
woodlands ak. He knew how to chop
down trees, how to trim off the
branches. and how to pile up the
brush and the wood; but he had not

tito knowledge essential to enable a

he went to work in the orchard as he
would when clearing ground of for

cutting and slsshing and such damag-
ing vandalism was really provoking
and Notwithstanding
The trees were large and in full
bearing; very few of them needed any
more pruning than cutting off, here
and there, small branch. But that
primer chopped off with his keen-edged
ak many large and leading limbs from
every tree. Many of the limbs were
fourteen to eighteen feet long, and six
to eight inches in diameter at the butt
end where they were severed from the
parent stocks. Then the branches that
were allowed to remain were all
trimmed neatly and clean of every
twig. leaf-spur and fruit spur, leaving
nothing but large bush at the end

long and destitute of branches and
twigs most of the limbs were. In
many instances more of the top was
away than remained. Huge
and gaping wounds on every tree,
which were never covered with wax of
any sort, were exceedingly damaging
to those trees. From the time of that
reckless pruning, the rapid decay of
the most fruitful trees commenced.
Every season the yield of fruit contin-
ned to diminish. Many of the trees,

not to keep many breeding sows in one

have separate pen for each sow. A

In the narrowing season, sows are

whether they need feeding or not, until
they got their expected ration. The
result is excitement and irritation

Average Height OF Men.

During the war measurements were
made of over 100000 men In the
United States army, and it was found
that the average height of men born In
the United States was CTS inches. Ae-
cordlng to Topinard, the average height
Of Englishmen, Scotchmen and Swedes
Is GA inches; Irishmen, 81; Germans.
&C.,; Frenchmen, 50; Danes, 66.2; Rus
slams, 65.4; Chinese, 81; Bushmen, 81;
Laplanders, GOT; American Indians,
6S.2; Patagonians, 70.3. Taking these
measurements as basis, the average
for the world would be about 65.S. Ma.
dives of the United States, 1t will be
observed, are taller than any other rep
resentatives of the Caucasian race, and
1t Is an interesting fact that residence
on this continent, or, at least, the north
ern part of 1t, tends to develop all the
races In respect of height. weight and
muscular power. Thus, in the army
measurement referred to the average
height of foreign-born citizens was less
than the average Of American born, but
greater than the average In their re-
spectlve countries. The high average
of the Indians is another point In proof.
No statistics of the height of women
have ever been tabulated. According
to Gerland, the variation in the height
of females of the various races is very
much less than of men. In the short
est and weakest races the females are
physically equal to the males, and
sometimes surpass them. On the other
hand, where the stature of the males
Is considerably above the normal, the
female departs little from it.
