SEVEN-UP CHECK CASE
Litigation in the Matter Not Yet
at an End.
A NEW TRIAL DEMANDED
Attorneys for the Defendant File a BIZ
of Exceptions-verdict Not sus-
tanned by the Evidence
Presented.

The litigation over the $4,000 seven
IN check case Of Phil J. Harrington
against John A. Leggat and the Butte
& Boston Mining company has not YET
been ended. The suit has been trled
three times and Harrington finally got
a verdict and a Judgment
10 over 5000, which he assigned a le"
savs ago to some of his creditors. Yes
,erday the attorneys for the defendant
fled IN court a statement and bill OF
executions on which a demand for a
new trial will be made.
The following particulars in which II
ts alleged the evidence was insufficient
20 sustain the verdict are given:
First-The verdict Of the jury is not
sustained in this case; the evidence
shows that the check in question was
nrocured by the defendant Weartn
from Defendant Leggat by FRAUD ana
deceitful means and the inoorseihett
OF he. defendant Leggat on the cheek

.~.incapabie of acting intelligently In such
'matterNand that no consideration what
ever passed between them n Wearth
and Leggat for the Endorsement OF
transfer of said check.
Second-The verdict is not supported
by the evidence because II plainly ap-
pears from the evidence that at M
time of the purchase of the check by
the plaintiff, Harrington, at the TINS

Harrington had full knowledge or sncf
facts as should have put him on ms
guard as to the manner In which thf
said wearth obtained the check IRON
the said Leggat.
Third-The verdict OF the jury is no.
sustained by the evidence because !
satisfactorily appears from the eNl
dence that the said Harrington neVe
paid 90 the said Wearth n considera

the said check, but that such transte
was made for the purpose Of cuttinl

MEDICINE BAGS.
These OF the Indians Always Contain
a Sacred Powder.

The medicine bags of the Navaios.
Aunis and Apaches, all kindred tribes
Ia New Mexico and Arizona, contain a
curious powder, known as corn-pollen
or rhoddentin. This powder, which is the
pollen Of rush and also maize, ap-
pears to be used as medicine, being
eaten by the sick and put on the head
or other parts to ease pain, but princi-
pally as sacred Offering to the sun
and moon as a sanctifier of everything.
A pinch of it is thrown toward the sun
and then towards the four winds for
help Ia war or the chase, is put on the
trail Of a snake to prevent harm from
1t, placed on the tongue Of the tired
hunter as q restorative, hung in bags
around the necks of infants as a pre-
seryatiye and sprihkled on the dead.
In fact, every action of these Indians
is sanctified by this powder, SO that, as
Capt. Bourke writes in the ninth vol
ume Of THE Report of the Bureau OF
Ethnology" (Smithsonian), plenty of
hoddentin has come to mean that a
particular performance or place is
sacred.
Capt. Bourke shows many analogies
to the use of this sacred powder, both
IN the east and among the ancient
Greeks and Romans, and it is clear
that similar practices with regard to
"medicine'-that is, mag;c-have pre-
vailed everywhere and in all ages, for
superstition seams to be the universal
heritage Of man, so deeply ingrained is
every nat are that all efforts Of philoso-
piers and "thirteen clubs" will not
avail to root it out Medicine bags or
amulets will continue TO be worn
openly or secretly, not only by the
wild Indian and Katfir, but among
ourselves who cling to the beliefs
handed down probably from remote
prehistoric ages.-Chambers' Journal

A Hundred Years Ago.

writer in the Detroit Free Press
has been looking up conditions of life
one hundred years ago, and the pro-
gress that has been made in every
avenue of intelligence and action is
enough to take away ones breath For
instance, day laborer received two
schillings day.
| Imprisonment for debt was common
practice.
There was not public library in the

Books we're very expensive. "The
Lives of the Poets" cost SIS.
Crockery plates were objected to be-
cause they dulled the knives.
There was only one hat factory and
that made cooked hats
| Virginia contained fifth Of the
whole population of the country.
| Dry goods were designated as "men's
stuff's" or s'women's stuffs."
Stoves were unknown. All cooking
was done before an open fire place.
Two stage coaches bore all the travel
between New York and Boston.
A man who jeered at the preacher or
critized the sermon was fined
The parquet of theater was called
the pit and was filled with the rabble.
The Mississippi valley was not as

Fuel viii be SupertiOus.

Edison is quoted as saying that be-
fore the worlds supply Of coal is ex-
hausted we shall surely not be depen-
dent upon it for fuel; in fact fuel Of
any dind will be superhous. It is said
that he believes that the fires of the
interior of the earth VIII be utilized in
the futnre for the carrying on every
industry requiring the use of steam
power. Volcanoes, geysers, natural
fountains Of boiling water in Iceland,
as we'll as earthquake shocks, are all
proof that fierce subterranean fires
are raging miles beneath our feet
Edison's belief is that immense pipes
may be forced through the earth's
crust which would allow a great vol
ume of steam compressed below US to
force its way to the surface. This
would furnish power to huge electro
motors, which would, in turn, generate
electricity to be used in storage bat
teries All vehicles for travel could be
supplied with these and little recharg-
ing stations with feed wires could be
erected il the streets. The power
would be so cheap that it would do
away with the use of horses. Further
more, the farmer could have rows of
pipes beneath the ground and cause it
TO produce rare exotic plants and finer
fruits than the dollhouse system.
Machines would be worked without
ccal and the atmosphere consequently
be purified from its gas and smoke.
Tie homes Of the poor would be auto
maticalIy heated and lighted with
little expense.

Children in Arizona have fallen heir
to legacy left them by the action of
Oakes Murphy while delegate in con-
grese. This legacy consists of a debt
of hundreds of thousands of illegal
claims, on which one item alone, the
Yavapai bonds, the interest will be
$4,000 year for fifty years. Murphy
thus saddled the burden on the terri
tory to be the heritage of generation
yet to be born. Murphy now stands
for statehood. Does he want state
hood? Nc, he wants. to fund more IL

thing for Arizona, but he has done
