go and he told him he could: that he
then walked down the street with

shal's office and delivered himself up
to the authorities; that he a%fterward
went back to his home with HOotOn
and that HOotOn looked at London,
who was unable to speak, and then

to watch London: that he staid for d
short time; that it was cold and he
went to his saloon and lit a light and
a cigar and waited until HoOton and
DR.. Compton came along and then he
went back to his house with them.
London was then taken to DIR. HOls-
claws Office and his wounds dressed.
On cross-examination he testified that
London and another soldier by the
name of Shields had been at his
house, but any reference to what took
place there was not permitted by the
court as the defense refused to go in
to the matter and therefore the state
could not question defendant regard

Whatever may be SAID of the
scientific causes upon which the
Rev. Irl r. Hicks bases his year.
" forecasts of storm and wealth
er, it is a remarkable fact that
specific warnings of every great
storm, flood, cold waveand drouth,
have been plainly printed in his
now famous Almanac for many
years. The latest startling proof
of this fact was the destruction
of Galveston, Texas, on the very
day named by Prof. Hicks in his
1900 Almanac, as one of disasters
by storm along the gulf coasts.
The 1901 Almanac, by far the
finest, most complete and beauti-
full yet published, is now ready.
This remarkable book of near
two hundred pages, splendidly
with charts and half
tone engravings, goes as a prem
ium to every subscriber who
pays one dollar a year for Prof.
