THE GAhB[ET1 MURDER
CASE AND INCIDENTS.
MT. PLEASANT PRELIMINARY

Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
STEUBENvILLE. O.. September 29.-
The employment of e. E. Erskine, OF
this city, to defend Quincy Cramblett
recalls the incidents at the preliminary
hearing at Mt Pleasant in the town
hall, which was rented by the citizens
to hold the trial in, collection being
taken to defray the rent expense. The
hall was crowded with men and women
and the sentiment was pro-Cramblett
Prosecuting Attorney A. G. Lewis, the
Adonis of the bar. was there with cul-
tured and flowery eloquence, and ex-
Prosecuting Attorney Erskine, with his
sharp sarcasm, was there to defend
Cramblett. Erskine has reputation
for gazing at witnesses in a way that
transfxes them and compells them to
tell the truth whether they wish to or
not. Despite the fact that the widow
and daughters were there in black
raiment, weeping. the audience was SO
strongly favorable to Cramblett that
at intervals they cheered the sarcastic
eloquence of Attorney Erskine till the
rafters rung. At one point In the ex-
animation, the question of allowing a
witness to testify was in dispute. The
prosecuting attorney did not want 1t il,
but Attorney Erskine. who was not
aware of what his testimony would be
and caring less,
Favored It's Admission.
The prosecuting attorney sarcasticaliy
said In his talk that were it in a court
where the presiding official knew law,
the testimony would be barred. Mr..
Erskine took advantage of the prose
cutting attorneys slip, and patting
Squire Humphreyvi1le on the back, he
assured him the law was plain and the
squire was conversant with it and de-
sired a full hearing, shutting nothing
out, so he could determine whether to
hold Cramblett
The audience cheered this sally and
the squire bit at the complimentary jol-
ly, and after shifting his legs the squire
decided to admit the testimony in spite
of the apparent angry protests of the
prosecuting attorney.
When Attorney Erskine would refer
to Cramblett as doing the right thing
in refusing to tell gray-haired con-
stables his love affairs, regarding them
as sacred the women would applaud
the sentiment When Attorney Erskine
would refer in ironical terms to jeff
Rainbow, who figured in the case for
the State, or rip UP the reward hunt
ers,"
The Audience Would Cheer,
and his plea against holding Cramblett
for the grand jury was applauded to the
echo. Such scenes were never enacted
before in a murder case.
The feeling after Cramblett was
found guilty In court was the most
intense ever known Several ministers
preached against the verdict, men al
most came to blows over it, and the fair
sex were a unit in denunciation of the
jury Several of the jury still hear
from their fellow citizens about the
verdict. The public was not satisfied
till Cramblett got another trial, which
was granted. The case has attracted
general attention all over Eastern Ohio
and in West Virginia.

BEST ARE THE CHEAPEST.
Profitable to the Average Farm
eF Than Scrubs.

It does not cost any more to raise
pure-bred stock than half-breeds and
inferior scrubs. The only difference in
the cost is the initial purchase. The
pure bred naturally costs more than
the inferior animal, but in the end one
such animal may prove cheaper than
three or four scrubs. The farmer who
starts in with the idea and buys only
little blooded stock as he can afford
it. increasing his herd gradually, may
find in the end that he is in much bet
ter position than his nieghbor who
buys any sort of attle simply because
they are cheap. The reason why more
do not start in with the idea is because
they have the erroneous belief that it
costs more to maintain the blooded
stock. This is not true at all, for the
fine cattle do Tot require more food nor
better surroundings than should be
given to any farm animal that is worth
anything. If the farmers style of keep
ing cattle is to neglect them and let
them practically shift for themselves
the scrub stock may be better suited to
his purpose, for the half-wild animals
are undoubtedly harder than the we'll
bred ones, and they will be able to pick
up a living much better on a cold,
cherries and almost foodless range.
But where the animals are kept care
fully according to modern ideas of cat
tle-raising, with sufficient food to nour-
ish them. and proper shelter and pro-
lection, the blooded animals arc Just Is
cheap TO support as the poorest scrub.
This being the case no farmer can feel
that he is not able TO keep a few and, in
time, to substitute them entirely for
his inferior cows, pigs. sheep and cat
tie. Let him begin wedding out gradu-
ally all the poorest Of his flock. and
make every addition be of the pure
bred animals. II is better to do this,
even if only one or two can be pur-
chased a year. The flock will Increase
in the natural way and as it multiplies
the owner will realize that he possesses
something that marks the cream of the
trade. Every animal that he brings
into the world has its price. and price
that fiuctuates much less than that
given for inferior stock. Such we'll
bred stock can always be sold. There
is. scarcely a herd of good pigs. cows or
sheep that cannot find a good customer
even in the midst of dull and depressed
times. This is the financial difference
in the returns of the two herds. One
adds to uncertain and varying income,
the other brings an assurance of GER
tain definite profits and values that
can be depended upon a all times. The
man of business sense can readily see
which will prove the most profitable to
him in the end.-Indiana Farmer.

Sailing THE SHEEP.
A Method That Has Given Genuin e
Satisfaction to One Who Has
Tried 1t for Years. Ff -r

Iwould like to describe an appara tus
for sailing, cattle and other stock so
they will always have salt before them
and no waste, writes Joseph H. Yoder,
in the National Stockman. For cattle
or horses I would prefer to use rock
salt placed in boxes or troughs for the
winter and scattered about the pas
ture on the grass in summer. Rains
have little effect upon it and this will
be found both convenient and econom-
ical. For sheep, however, this plan
does OF work so well. The rock Salts
SO slow to dissolve that they are not
able to get sufficient amount of it to
satisfy their wants, hence it is neces-
sary 10 use the loose salt for them.
DUNG the winter box can be fastened
up at convenient place in the shed
and at the proper height so they can
have access to it at all times of the day.
In summer if they have not a shed to
run under the box can be fastened to
gate post and have roof placed over it
so as to keep out the rain. If it is de-
sired to use loose salt for cattle the
same arrangement is can be used as have
already baen described for sheep. The
roof over the box should be high
enough to be entirely out of the way
of the animals. Where loose salt is
used it is necessary to be careful to
keep supply in the box all the time, as
the animals are liable to eat too much
if they go without for several days.

The Cont rs a Shephcrd.

Sheep are too slow in their move
ments to suit goats, which cover more
ground in day and are more inclined
to herd in one bunch and less addict
ed to scattering. When n few goats
are kept among sheep not herded, the
goats will often, for the sake of COM
pany, stay with the sheep. They are
useful in this connection, as goats al
most invariably come home at night
and sheep follow them in, THIS often
avoiding the danger of having any of
the flock killed by dogs or wild ami
mails at night. Sheep and goats do not
interbreed and so can be allowed to
run together with impunity.-W. q.

him more comfortably rested in my
arms, when consciousness at length re-
turned to him, but his anguish was evil
IDENTIFY unbearable, his former sick i'm
sensibility was better far than this
later train of torture, spasms mixed
with deep-groaned curses. AT first he
held out manfully, and gnawing the
end of my wallet-strap between his
teeth he faced the pain; but nature
could not stand it long, and finally he
begged me just to drop him where we
were.
At first I refused to dismount, and
pointed out to him the danger that our
foes might still be hunting on our
track, and happily once, more he
swooned away. But it did not last
long; once more he woke to conscious
ness and pain, and this time he ordered
me so earnestly to lay him down that,

small spruit gurgred invitingly, Ithalt-

him as gently as I could upon the

Polar Property on Sale.

Last year the Lerner expedition, or
ganized by German syndicate con-
sisting of capitalists in Berlin, Ham
burg and Magdeburg, took possession
of some land in the Bear islands off the
coast of Siberia, says Hamburg cor
respondence of the London Mail.
The sale of this property should have
taken place some time ago, but at the
last moment it was put off by the VEN
ders. Whether the idea of selling it
arose from discovery of the poverty
of the islands in natural products or
not it is impossible to ascertain. To-
day the property was put up for
sale, and the whole of the mining rights
and stock of the Bear island syndicate,
including mining plant and consider
able stocks of coal, were, after pro-
test from Herr Theodor Lerner,
knocked down IN public auction to the
firm of Knoehr & Burchard's Success
sors & Co. for 6 1000. Herr Lerner ap-
piled to attach the whole of the pur-
chase money for the settlement of his
-r'or claim of e4.200.
