Brainerd Arena: l was down at
Little Falls the other day. Went
right straight to the Herald Office
and found myself in the august
presence of Mayor Vasalv, who is
also editor of the 81 erald. He told
me the town was booming and that
Little Falls was the best town in the
state. I agreed with him in all ex-
cePt that Brainerd was even with
him and Il little to the better. he
said he would prove his assertion.
All right says l, and we went out to
see the town. Vasaly took soft pop
and "a little OF the stuff that killed
dad.' We went from there across
the river, saw the fine improvements
the N. P. is putting in, ALSO the -four
ing mills and foundries and went
down to the paper mill. Manager
Shepard took US through the mill and
explained how the paper was made.
The mill turns out fine grade of f.
bre paper and manila and can't SUD-
ply the orders. 1t runs night and
day and uses nothing butspruce logs
and dead heads. Little Falls is to be
congratulated on it's mayor and pa-
per mill.

ETHER WAS ACQUITTED
Tried for Burglary Before Judge
Clancy.
A GAME LEG AND A WIFE
This Is the Only Excuse for His Acuuittal
"Toot-Toot" Informed the Court
How He Came by His
Nickname

Ferdinand Either was tried for bur-
glary in Judge Clancy's court yestar-
day afternoon and the jury acquitted
him. Why they acquitted him was not
entirely clear, unless it was because
he had a game leg and a wife, both of
which were put in evidence at the trial.
The state made a strong case against
Either, but the jury evidently came
to the conclusion that the witnesses for
the prosecution should not be believed.
The evidence of the state was to the cf-
feet that on the night of the 9th CT
last September, Police Officer Lowney
was passing the tailor shop of Fass
Brothers at 81 East Broadway and saw
man on the inside taking bolt of
cloth out Of the window and then run
down Wyoming street The officer call
ed on him to stop and the thief dropped
the cloth but kept on running The Of
ficer went after him and gained on him
until the thief reached the barn of Au-
gust Either, a hack driver known as
foot loot" The thief ran into the
barn and closed the door in the officers
face Lowney pushed the door in and
found the defendant, Ferdinand Either
lying on the floor on the inside. He was
sound asleep or pretending to be so,
and the officer succeeded in arousing
him only after he had handled him a bit
roughly, and then took him to Jail.
While chasing the thief the officer
passed a drunken man lying in the alley
near Ethier's barn, and after Either had
been arrested, the drunken man was
sent to his home. LoWney was positive
that Either was the man he had seen
taking the cloth out of the tailor shop,
but Sam Golstein, proprietor of the shop,
who is friend of Either, expressed the
belief that Either was not the thief,
and said that he had seen several no.
boes hanging around the shop during
the daytime. For the defense, the de-
PENDANTS father, "Toot loot" testified
that he slept in the barn and that his
son. who lived with his wife near the
Colorado smelter, also slept in the barn
frequently, and on the night he was ar
rested, he came in about / o'clock, more
than an hour before the burglary was
committed. The witness said that after
his son had been taken away, he went
out and saw the man lying outside the
door and the man greeted him with the
remark, foot loot, it's all right" The
witness insisted on telling Mr.. Connolly
how he came to be called foot loot"
He said about IS years ago somebody
in a saloon invited him ito have drink,
and he asked him Tout, tout" which in
French meant whether everybody in the
room was included in the invitation, to
which the other man replied, Tout,
tout, no: only got four bits After
that, Either was called by those VINO
did not understand French, "Toot loot,
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-02-01

only got four bits, which finally short
ened to plain foot loot"
Mr. Connolly thanked foot loot"
for his edifying explanation and the
trial was resumed.
The defendants wife testified that on
the evening before her husbands ar
rest he was paid off and came up town.
About / o'clock at night she also came
to town to search for him and found
him on the street too drunk to navigate
so she took him to his fathers barn
and left him there, after which she
walked back to her home near the Col
orado smelter. The defendant himself
testified that he was very drunk, but
he remembered that it was o'clock when
he went to the barn, but he was too
drunk to know that he had been arrest
ed until he came to- in Jail the next
morning. Either also had several wit
nesses who testified to his good char
acter Among the number was Joseph
Perron. The jury was out but short
time and returned a verdict of not
guilty.

Turkeys Tracked by Dogs.

From the Chicago Record.
Fort Scott. Kan, Jan. 1.-The wild tur-
keyhin the Ozarks is now hunted with a
slow-tracking dog. and whole focks are
often killed in this day. Till the trained
dog was employed to follow up the wary
bird this game fowl could battle the most
skilful hunter. Now when flock Of tur-
keys is found the sportsman has little
difficulty. A good dog will follow a tur-
key track that is three or four hours old
and set the birds when overtaken, just as
the pointer does the quail. After the tur-
key has been chased awhile it hides in a
tree or under log, and stays there until
the hunter, guided by his dog, comes
within close range.
1t is astonishing what fine instinct a
good turkey dog will develop after few
months of training in the woods He will
follow a flock of turkeys for hours just
ahead of the hunter and indicate by I'M
mistakable signs when the game is near.
After turkey has received a fatal shot
it may fly half a mle>or more. A trained
dog will go straight to a wounded on
dead turkey with the same precision with
which he tracks the game

USED A BULLET.
But 1t Was Not Sufficient to Stop a Street
Car.

Car.
From the New York World.
Here is a new way to stop a car, or
to try to stop a car:
A Third avenue cable car bound up
town passed the corner of Sixth street
at 4 As o'clock a. m. yesterday. On the
car were several men, one Of whom
is employed on the World. On the cor
ner We're two young men and woman
and another young man. AS the car
passed the two young men who were
with the woman noisily hailed it, but
it did not stop.
The young man who was alone ran
out and jumped on the car as it sped
by. The woman and the two young
men chased the car, shouting after it.
The car stopped and changed cables.
The conductor looked around, but the
three chasing it were yet some distance
away. He pulled the bell. The car
started again.
Just as it did so pistol shot sound
ed and bullet struck the rear dash
beard The startled conductor turned;
the two men and the woman were run
ming away as fast ais they could The
conductor angrily asked the young man
who had jumped on:a
Were you with that party of three?''
No" said he, and,-he seemed to be
telling the truth, but l was on the
corner with them for some time wait
ing for this car. The two young fell
lows We're drunk"
Being drunk they tried to stop the
car with a bullet and then repented.

THE DAVIS WILL CASE
Dispositions Taken of Colonel
Sanders and j. B. Clayberg.
THE CHARGES ARE FALSE
Colonel Sanders Denies the Truth OF the
Accusation of Fraud and Collu-
sion-There Was Nothing to
Excite Suspicion.

Considerable time has elapsed since
the public has heard of the Davis will
case and its many variations and Con-
nections. The last part the courts play
ed in the case was some weeks age
when testimony was taken before Spe-
cial Referee Blair in the United States
court in the bank stock case. Yester-
day afternoon the referee received the
dispositions of Colonel Sanders, who
was prominent counsel in the first acts
of the noted drama, and J. B. Clayberg,
who also took part.
Colonel Sanders, in his deposition,
states that he was connected in a pro-
fessional way with the contest for pro-
bate of Davis will in 1891 and 1892. He
was one of the attorneys for the propon-
ent, J. A. Davis. He was also en-
ployed by Special Administrator Talbot
in his prosecution of the suit to recover
for the estate the shares of the First
National bank of this city from Andrew
Davis, who has always claimed it as his
own. Colonel Sanders understood that
he was to do all he could to recover
for the estate everything belonging to
it. The deponent recites conversations
he had with parties concerned in the
suit before the trial, touching A. J.
Davis, jr's, claim to the stock.

timony of J. r. Boyce, jr, given you
on the witness stand in the bank stock
case, compared with the statements he
had made to yourself and other counsel
before as to what he would testify toy
the colonel was asked.
In detail 1 cannot re-State and con-
trast that which he said to us in con-
situations with him during the recess ri
the court at the trial, but this I know:
That his statements to us of facts which
he said he knew caused the expecta-
ton that he would testify to them on
the witness stand"
In regard to absence of the transcript
of Talbot's testimony at the trial, the
colonel explains THE reason it was
not put in evidence was because coun-
sci We're of the opinion that it was like
ly to be decided that he could explain
those statements orally on the stand if
they were gintToduced, whereas. if they
were not introduced hes was an in
competent witness and there was likely

PRODUCTION than by emitting Them
Colonel Sanders said that he had
known Darno1d, the mysterious witness
for about rs years. Darnold's actions on
the stand operated; against him, and
they were not cause for surprise among
those well acquainted with him.

other counsel. to take steps to emancl-
pate ourselves from any limitation OF
that kind
Generally speaking of the trial, the
colonel said: Speaking for myself,
every item of testimony was introduced
! within my knowledge that l deemed
material and helpful to the estate and
no circumstances occurred during the
trial, which lasted a week or so, IN
duced a belief that my colleagues omit
ted anything. 1t will sometimes occur
during the progress of trial that the
trial itself will reveal testimony not
foreseen which can be obtained, but my
recollection of this case is that moth
ing of material Importance was so re-
vealed during the trial.
In your experience as a lawyer, is
question with counsel as to whether
or not certain evidence had better be
offered or left out with a view to the
success Of your client in the case?"
1T is Every lawyer has to determ-
inc that from his view of the material
ity of the evidence and its probable in
fluence upon the court"
In conclusion, the colonel has this to
say with reference to the charges of
collision and fraud alleged in the hill:
II have read the BILL and speaking for
myself, the charges are wholly false.
Speaking for the two gentlemen who
assisted me in the trial Of the case,
no event occurred and nothing was
omitted to excite a suspicion in my
mind that there is any truth in these
allegations"
The testimony of John B. Clayberg
in the main was similar to that offered

A HOME FOR NEWSBOYS
Joe Simpsons Efforts Are Being
Rewarded.
PLANS NOT COMPLETED
Accomm odations for Twenty-Five Sc,
cured-Business Men Have Inter-
ested Themselves in
Worthy Enterprise.

In little "a by - frame house at No
2S West Quartz street, the yellow cur
tains closely drawn, crevices and cracks
calked with snow, no smoke issuing
from the chimney, and no positive evil
dence of life under the roof, slept a
dozen or more little boys nearly all of
yesterday. So they do every day. On
the front door are written the words
"Newsboy's Home" About o'clock,
the little fellows emerge from their
warm nests and then pandemonium
reigned until the start was made for
the newspaper offices.
This little home" is the result of the
efforts of Joe Sampson, the well-known
newsboy, to establish a comfortable
abiding place for his fellow workers in
Butte who are fighting the battles of the
world single handed and alone. This
is only preliminary to what the pro-
moter hopes to accomplish. Three months
ago Joe started out to enlist the SYM
pathy of the business men in his enter
prise. He has been quite successful in
, asmuch as he has secured a temporary
titute newsboys and bootblacks. Joe
said yesterday: Our home is a success.
We have provisions for the accommoda-
ton of % boys. We have no systematic
method of raising funds as yet, but eX
pect to in short time" He hoped to
| interest the labor organizations in the
enterprise. The little waits take great
interest in the home and willingly as
sist one another in keeping the rooms
, clean and cheerful. In this connection
Joe said: "They not only take interest
| in it. but they are greatly improved in
their habits by having some place to
which they can go instead of hanging
around saloons and other undesirable
resorts. We hope to soon have a sup
: ply of books and magazines. We will
also have games-not gambling devices,
but games that will serve to teach as
well as amuse.'
Butte is not the largest place on the
map, but there are many, many young
boys, bright boys, here who, sad to re-
late, have not the advantages of a
good home. They seem to be satisfied
with but little and it is possible that
with elevating envrons. many good men
may emerge from the army of amoi-
! tious little boys in Butte who to-day are
encouraged only by firm will and am
bition. There are some bad boys in Butte,
but the fact is patent that they are
/ in the minority. II may be said right
here that the proportion of incorrigibles
| is greater among boys whose parents
are their guardians.
| In nearly every large city in the union
are homes for newsboys and bootblacls,
and time has proved them to be institu-
lions worthy of the consideration of the
best citizens. 1t has been shown that

THE POINT OF VIEW.
Theaters and Street Car Traction Discussed
by Man and Young Woman.

Theaters and Street Car Traction Discussed
by Man and Young Woman.
From the New York Sun.
When the Broadway car stopped at
Tenth street a woman, young and well
dressed, accompanied by a stoutly-
built, smoothly shaved man, stepped on
board and the other passengers
watched them settle into their seats.
The male passengers looked at the
young woman with respectful admit
ration and each female passenger made
a careful inventory of her gown and
hat.
Have you seen the play at the Blank
theater?" asked the young woman Of
her companion, and the other passen-
gers drew the conclusion that they were
not man and wife.
"oh, yes, I've seen it," said the
man.
What is your opinion of it,"
what, the play? Oh, it's first rate"
Eyes, but what did you think of it?'
"Why, it seemed to me to be all right,
first rate, you know
The young woman's face indicated
that she was disappointed, and at least
four men in the car looked as if they
would like to shake her unsympathetic

him.
"Did you see so-and-So in her now
play?" she asked.
Yes
"How did you like her?"
what, So-and-So? Oh, she's first
rate"
what did you think of the play?"
why, it struck me as being first
rate"
TT didn't seem to me that the third
act was justified by anything which
had developed in the previous acts.
Now, if So-and-So was the sort of
woman indicated in acts one and two, I
don't believe that she could have
reached that conclusion in the last act.
What do you think of it?"
The stout man rolled uneasily in his
seat and the other passengers waited
with interest for his reply.
st thought it first rate he said; "in
fact all right"
This silenced the young woman for
two blocks and then she said:

The young woman seemed so anxious
to arouse her escort to make some sort
