HOW A FILIPINO DIES

Attitude Much Like q

The general, In white hat. was
marching In advance Of the firing line.
when the discharge of a rife was heard
In the yard OF a house next TO the road.
Several soldiers rushed into the yard,
but not In time TO prevent two more
shots, which came whizzing In the d.
rection OF the general. At this moment
came to a break In the hedge where
could see what was going ON. A young
Filipino was about 30 yards of. He was
turning this way and that like an ami

man turned. ran sideways few PAGES,
lay down on the ground, and second
after was dead. got a good sight OF
the whole incident, and so naturally
did the Filipino stretch himself along
the ground and rest his head upon his
arm that I thought he was shamming.
An examlnati on minute later proved
that he was dead. There is this differ
euce between the manner In which
American and Filipino soldiers die
the American falls in heap and dies
hard; the Filipino stretches himself
out, and when dead is always found In
some easy attitude, generally with his
head on his arms. They die the way a
wild animal dies-in just such a posi-
ton as one finds deer or an antelope
which one has shot In the woods.-John

WILL GO TO JURY TODAY
THE EVIDENCE Is ALL IN IN THE
HENRY DAMAGE CASE.
Witnesses That Tell Conflicting StO-
rics Are on the Stand-A Hotel Case
Other Court Matters.

1t is thought the damage suit of Oliver
H. Henry against William Henry Harris in
which the latter is charged with alternating
the affections of the plaintiffs wife, will go
to the jury about 4:3O O'Clock this afternoon.
The plaintiff continued to bring out evidence
in rebuttal for an hour or two yesterday
morning and the defense had some testi-
mony of the same character.
The plaintiffs attorneys consider that
their most important witness yesterday was
W. II. Snoderly, who formerly lived at Day
ton and Greenville. o.. and knew Henry and
his wife in both of these cities He said he
was intimately acquainted with the Henrys
and had never known of their having a
quarrel. He said Henry always treated his
wife kindly and he thought their relations
were very pleasant.
To impeach the testimony of this witness
the defendants lawyers called Miss Mary
Lennon. of Cambridge CITY. to the witness
stand. She is an aunt of Mrs. Harris, who
was formerly Mrs. Henry. Miss Lennon
testified that Snoderly once told her that
Henry and his wife did not get along well
together and that he had once seen Henry
dragging his wife about the store by the
hair. AS soon as Miss Lennon left the wit
ness stand Snoderly was recalled. He in
sisted that he did not know Miss Lennon
and had never told her anything. He de-
clared he had never seen her until she came
on the witness stand
Henry was recalled to explain some money
transactions which he had with John Keep

l.. II. Wright, charged with bigamy. was.
after the completionsof THE examination
continued from last week, bound over to
the grand jury Little additional evidence
was produced, though witnesses were
brought in who testified that Wright passed
the woman from Cicero off as his wife. Two
criminal charges were made against Wright
and Nancy CLOSER, but these were con-
tinued indefinitely.
Julius c. Morgan. formerly Big Four
conductor, was fined 500 and costs for wife
deSertion. The case was appealed. Morgan's
manner while listening to testimony and
while on the witness stand was one which.
despite his assertions that he loved his
wife and children and cared for them, was
that Of a braggart and when Judge Daily
announced the sentence he expressed re-
gret that the limit of punishment was only
800 fine. as he thought he deserved more.
Joseph Sauer pleaded guilty to drunken
ness and was found guilty of assault and
battery for which a fine of 81 and costs
was imposed. An amusing feature of the
claimed their witness fees and then upon
request agreed TO cut their claim to one
half the amount. They then told that the
members of the force where Sauer was en-
ployed were going TO make up purse for
Sauer in case he was fined. and that they
would contribute TO the fund. The girls will
thus help pay their own fees.
