JURY FAILS TO AGREE.

VISALIA, Jan 25.-One of the longest trials ever heard in the Superior Court of this county came to a close to-day when the jury in the Thomas M. Blake will contest was discharged because 1t could not agree upon a verdict. The contest began on the Fist of December. Over eighty witnesses were examined and the expenses of the case amounted to a small fortune. if lawyers fees are counted. for five of the best attorneys were employed.
 The contest aroused wide interest. Blake the maker of the will, was an old pioneer of this vicinity and the fam fly is known up and down the valley and In San Francisco. The Blake estate was conservatively valued at S23 900 at the time of the testator's death last Septem- ber Nine years before that he had married a second wife. who was younger than his five grown daughters. and the daughters refused to have anything to do with the new Mrs. Blake. At Blake's death he left his wife and three small children much more of the estate by his will than the grown daughters thought was just hence the attempt to break the will the charge being that he was of unsound mind and that the will was pro- cured through undue influence on the part of the wife.
 The jury stood seven for the contest ants and five for the widow after hay ing been out nearly seventy-two hours The contestants are talking of a second trial.

WERE BUNKOED
 BY A CHILD Fresno Business Men De- frauded Out of
 Small Sums. Clever Scheme of a Little Girl to Obtain Pin
 Money. Loans or Food Supplies Solicited on Behalf of Alleged Sick
 Women.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, Jan. 25.-The new woman has been discounted in Fresno by the new girl The latter is an innocent looking child, rather stout, and has the appearance of being a little miss from school Her age is placed at about II years by those who have seen her.
 This little miss has been working Q very clever bunko game on number of business men of this city. and no doubt is having a high old time" with her easily earned pin money.
 Last Monday afternoon the girl in short dresses who has taken to living by her wits entered the insurance of flee of w. T. Mattingly, on I street. near Tulare and said breathlessly:
 Mamma wants four bits. right away"
 Now 1t happened that the new girl addressed H. B. Choice, instead of Mr. Mattingly.
 'Who is your mamma?" queried that gentleman.
 The bunko girl mentioned the name of a widow of this city, whose business MT. Mattingly has been attending to.
 But please hurry up, sir" she plead ed, because the baby swallowed poi son. He was playing on the floor, sir@
 Well" said MT. Choice, unsympa- thetically, MT. Mattingly will be back in half an hour"
 The girl feigned to be worried about the baby that ate poison, but she did not wait for the return of MT. Mat tingly.
 When the insurance man returned and investigated the matter he found ho+ cyir rIb a fa hri- cation, and concluded that her game was simply to get spending money.
 Yesterday Manager Coats of the Sperry mill dropped into MT. Mating ly's office and the girls little ruse tO obtain a half dollar was brought up in conversation. He had heard of her op- erations in other places, and it is be- lieved that the clever little rogue has victimized quite number of people. Joseph House, the livery stable man, was moved by a tale she told him, and he gave her 75 cents. She went to Rob inson's grocery store and said that Mrs. (mentioning the name of a customer) was very sick and wanted a sack of flour.
 "All right" said the grocer, "I'll send it out to the house."
 Well" suggested the youthful buuko Miss, "I have my rig here, and might just as well take it myself, as they're in a hurry for it."
 We deliver all our groceries,'' ex- plained the proprietor. but I'll have it sent out right away"
 The wagon was sent in a hurry to find, of course, that the lady referred to was not sick and did not want a sack of flour in hurry at all.
 Miss Bunko was more successful in other places, and for some reason al ways ordered flour when she worked" grocery stores. Tn other places she was allowed to take the flour in her rig, and it was ''good-by four" as far as the grocer was concerned.

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 25.-Gus Machine. under sentence to be hanged February at Hillsboro for the mur- der of John D. Ledrick, made state ment to-day duplicating Robert Buck. a well known farmer. Wachline killed Ledrick three years ago. made his es- cape, was captured last November and tried six weeks ago, the verdict being murder in the first degree. The con- fession is in part as follows:
 One Friday in April, 1893, MT. Buck, with whom I was staying, took a rife and told me that he was going to look for two cows on the range near the Catholic church north of the farm of John D. Ledrick. This was early in the afternoon. He did not return until be- tween g and 10 o'clock that night. When he returned he did not have the rifle, and l asked him what he had done with 1t, and he told me he had left it near the Catholic church. as he did not care to
 The next morning he asked me to go with him, as he had found one of the cows and one calf l accompanied him, he carrying a double-harreled shotgun, and when we reached the line fence between the farm of Robert Buck and the farm of John D. Ledrick. he, the said Robert Buck, informed me that he had killed John D. Ledrick.
 I did not believe him at the time, and laughed at him; but he told me it was true, and wished me to go to Ledricks s house with him. I did so, and on reach ing the house found Ledrick lying on the floor, in what I supposed was the sitting room. Buck then wanted me to carry Ledrick'S body to the barn. I refused. He insisted, and I finally assisted in car rying the body to the barn: and then ne insisted that I should bury it. I refused and he insited that I should. saying that he would watch and see if any one came.
 He then went to the house, cleaned up the blood and then told me that he de- sired to bury the gun, he having previ- ously told me that he had shot John D. Ledrick through the window. and then having beaten him with a club. and at that time saw the club in the sitting room of the house of John D. Leurick. He then started north from the house of John D. Ledrick. and he found the rife and buried it under a log about 200 yards from the house of John D. Ledrick.
 We then returned to the house of Rob- ert Buck and he made me promise that I would not tell any one about the killing of LedriCk. This is all I had to do with the killing of John D. Ledrick. I knew nothing whatever about his being dead until informed of the fact by Robert Buck.

Color Blindness.

It has been scientifically proved
that woman's color perception much
exceeds that of man, while men, as
rule, have a keener sense of smell:
Women's training in the details OF
dress doubtless accounts for much OF
this superiority. Men, however, who
we're almost color blind have yet
shown surprisingly good taste in the
selection of dress goods for their
women folks.
