SHALL DURHAM BE RETRIEDe
Afidayits Pro and Con Heurd-Cnse
Goes Over Until Monday.


The arguments for new trial in the
case of the state against George A.
Durham finally came on for a hearing
Before Judge Elicit yesterday morning,
A. M. Harrison appearing for the de-
PENDANT, and County Attorney Peter
SOL for the state.
at the outset Mr.. Harrison stated that
he approached the argument with con-
siderable embarrassment for the reason
that the newspapers had given wide
publicity to the matter and had given
il cut and given the public to under
stand that the court had already de-
cided the matter and would not grant
u new trial. He hoped that no such
statement had been authorized by the
court.
Mr.. Peterson made the motion that
the affidavits served upon him Thurs
day night, should be excluded, as not
sufficient time had been given. He also
moved that those affidavits relating to
the conduct of the jury be excluded,
for the reason that the supreme court
OF Minnesota, in a recent capital case,
has passed upon the matter, and such
conduct was not grounds for new trial.
''I think / will hear all the affidavits,"
said the court, land those that are not
competent will not be considered"
Mr.. Harrison then read the affidavits.
The entire morning was spent in read
ing the dispositions, Mr.. Harrison being
followed by Assistant County Attorney
Somerby, who read the papers in answer
and then came the new set of affidavits
made by the defense, and the answers
by the state. The court could take no
more time in the hearing of the matter,
and the arguments upon the papers
went over until the afternoon. The de-
PENDANT was in court during the pro-
ceedings, and the necessary stipulation
and order was made allowing a con-
tinuance of the bond, that he might

WILD DOGS
OF Enormous Size Ranging the Cat
tie Ranges


John Bargeman, under sheriff of
Navajo county, has returned to Hol-
brook from an extended trip through
the mountains along the border Of
Arizona and New Mexico, bringing a
tale that wild dogs, of a peculiar kind,
are creating havoc In that region
among cattle and sheep. says the Hol-
brook (Ariz) correspondent of the st.
Louis GlobeDemocrat. The dogs have
been known for only three years, first
making their appearance in a small
band in American valley, in Western
New Mexico. They have increased
wonderfully. and are now found over
a broad stretch of country, despite the
efforts of the cattlemen to exterminate
them. They are especially numerous
around Nutrioso. In size, the dogs av-
erage about 100 pounds in weight. They
have the head and shoulders of a bull
dog but the build of timber wolf and
wolfish characteristics. In color, they
are ashy gray, with long black hairs
interspersed. Like coyotes. they are
little afraid Of man, and will follow
horsemen for miles through the timber,
not hesitating to attack footmen.
Thomas Alger, a resident Of Nutrioso.
is responsible for the statement that
animals bitten by the wild dogs. If not
killed by them on the spot. die within
a few days with all the symptoms OF
strychnine poisoning.

CCurt Officer CompeIs Him to De-

Yesterday a local photographer presented
Bob FtZsimmons with a bill for S25, which
he claimed was due for work done several
years ago. The champion refused to pay,
and thereupon Justice Beardslee was ap-
pealed to. and attachment Issued
upon the great Dane bloodhound which
accompanies Fitz in his tour OF the country.
The attachment placed in the hands CT
officer Void. and he proceeded to the West
hotel to serve IL. Ftz made no demur. but
unslpped the collar from the neck Of the dog
and told the officer to take him along.
Then the trouble began. After arranging
an imDrovised halter and strap the officer
started through the lobby of the hotel, an
interested crowd watching the operation. AS
the man and dog reached the outer door
FitZsimmons gave a whistle, and the dog be-
gan a retrogade movement likewise the Of
fcer. Void struggled like hero but in
vain. The brute was too much for him. In
Stead of taking the dog to the justice court
the dog took the officer to Fitzsimmons. Void
became angry. and told the champion he
would corral that dog IL 1t took all summer
to do 1t. or words to that effect, and he in
simulated that he might call in the local police
force to make sure Of the job.
The threat had the effect intended and

so for his appearance.
Fitzsimmons later settled with Miller, the
photographer by paying him $50.

that Mclaughlin every Christmas received a
