1t was merely through an accident
that the state was able to secure the
conviction of Ben Frazier yesterday in
the criminal court, Judge Hugus on the
bench, on the charge of completely in
the burglary at the Second ward saloon
Of Guudllng & Carenbauer.
The states case was weak because
several persons in Martins Ferry, who
could testify to Frazier having attempt
ed to pawn the watches. which were
among the articles taken, declined to
come over and testify. One Of these
persons was owen Frlary, OF Martins
Ferry. In the afternoon, during the
trial Of the case, Prosecuting Attorney
Meyer was told that Friary was In
Wheeling, having come over to Turk
ish bath establishment on Main street.
without loslng any time, the prosecu-
tor had a rule issued, and in a trice
Friary was brought to court, and testi-
fed that Frazier had attempted to
pawn the watches with him. This
made up the missing link In the states
case, and as a result a weak case was
made strong.
The last witness. Ed Moore, was on
the stand late in the afternoon, after
which Prosecutor Meyer made a half
hour argument for the state, making a
very strong presentation of It's side. He
was followed by Mr.. Fickiesen, for the
defense. The jury was then given the
case, and was out only few minutes,
when 1t returned with a verdict of
guilty. The usual motion for a new
trial was entered, and will be argued
later,
Chief of Police clemans was elated
over the conviction secured in this case.
Frazier, he claims. has had a hand In
many mlsiolngs In this community for
a number OK years past.

Treacherous as Indians.

4IeaGnGIQu1 H6 4A4AGAA4ns
The Filiplnos as a race are as treach-
erous as the American Indian. At this
time 1t is unsafe for an American SOL
der to go half mile outside our lines.
The surgeon at this place had an ex-
ceedIngly narrow escape only yesterday.
He was riding alone between capas
and Murcla and when about mile
from Murcla he was attacked by three
"ladrones," who fred on him from am
bush. One bullet passed through his
horses neck and one through his trous-
ers The doctor dIsmounted and with
his revolver returned the fire. killing
one OF his assaIlants. Twelve shots
were fred at him and he fired eighteen
shots from his revolver. Again, to show
the treachery of these people, a square
of four men went from caPas to a
barlo a short distance from that town
in search Of chickens and eggs. Later
in the day the body of one of them was
found by the roadside cut TO pieces with
the muTderous ."bolo." The other three
have never been heard Of. Again, while
two companies of the Ninth infantry
were stationed at Guagua, three men
and a corporal were on outpost duty
only a short distance from the center Of
the town. Eight "Amerlgos" came
saunteringN down the road and when
opposite the little detachment bounced
upon them with "bolos," killing two Of
them. One man had seventeen cuts on
his body and the other had twenty-five.
One can readily see that we not only
have the organized forces of Aguinaldo
to contend with, but in addition have a
band Of "ladrones" to watch all the
time. They never attack a party un-
less they are far superior in numbers.
A scouting party goes out, and the Fill
plno will walk out into the road and
ask the soldier for light for his cigar
cite, his gun or "bolo" he's hidden in
the bamboo. Were the soldier alone
the chances are he would suddenly dis
appear, as many have done.

The stan OF life to the Filipino is not
bread. but rice, which is the leading
product Of the Islands. During my stay
In the province of Pampauga, which is
one Of the largest rice producing sec
lions in the world. had the opportuui-
ty Of studying and observing the crude
manner by which 1t is grown and pre-
pared for use. The land is laid of in
squares called paddles. First the
ground is plowed with a crude wooden
pillow, then narrowed over and over
again to remove all the weeds, The
water is then turned into the paddy
and It is flooded, and the Filipino with
his caribou and harrow churns the soil
into a soft paste OF mud. The rice is
sowed in specially prepared place,
and is left to grow until It is about six
inches tall. when 1t is pulled up and
transplanted one stalk at a time, about
two or three inches apart in the paddy.
This work is done by the women. who
receive as compensation for their labor
the small sum Of one ''peseta" (ten
cents Americana per day. The rice is
then left to grow, and in due course Of
time IS ready for the harvest The
harvesting process is one Of interest;
the men and women take a paddy and
with a small "bolo" cut the stalks one
at a time about six Inches below the
lower part OF the head, which resem-
Dles the head Of wheat, and tie them
into small bundles which are laid in the
sun to dry. After they are thoroughly
dried out the grains are separated from
the stalk by stamping them with the
feet. These are again laid in the sun
to dry. Next comes the separating the
husk Of the grain from the kernel. The
grain is dumped into a mortar, hollow
cd out OF the end Of a log, and is pound
ed with a mall, made OF hard wood,
uatH the grains are all broken In two
or three pieces. It is then run through
machine built Of bamboo. inside Of
which is a large wheel resembling a
boat wheel. only very much smaller.
and the chaft is famed away from the
grain. The rice is then ready to be
eaten. A naive can live on two pounds
Of rice and a cigarette all day. He
doesn't need anything else.

From Our Soldier Correspondent
TARLAc. Luzon, P. l., Nov. Is via
Manila. Dec. 4, lsss.-when the hordes
OF Aguinaldo, called an army, lost their
position at the Banban river, they lost
the last glimmer of hope of success for
the cause for which they have sacEi-
feed so many lives Banban river is
the boundary line between the provinces
of Pampaugo and Tarlac, and is quite
n water course. On the left bank OF the
river the ground rises gradually for 400
yards and at the base of the foot hills
turns to the left. on the highest line
of this slope the Ff1ipinos had dug an
excellent line of trenches and long
flank trench on the left, most beautiful
ly covering the ground to the front.
Above these trenches and to the left
the mountains rose abruptly; on the
highest points were erected lookout sta
lions, and the most commanding posi-
lions along the line OF trenches were
built into parapets and gun pits. The
land In front of the trench to the bank
of the river was covered with a bamboo
infringement, and nicely hidden I'M
der the tall grass.
The Americans, in their advance from
Mabalacat. made a demonstration in
front of the trench. while one regiment
marched all night and daylight found
them occupying commanding position
on the flank of the enemy's stronghold.
and it only took half an hour to get
every Filipino out and on the run.
AguInaldo made the boast that BAnban
river would wash the American blood
down to the sea, and that It would be
the Americans burying ground. It
was not, however. The FlIIpInoa lost
their position. which was the best forth
fed place on Luzon Island. and in addl-
ton lost many lives.

During the last week the Rocky
Mountain News has been using
many columns of space telling the
people of the faulGs of their rep
resentatives in congress. Every
congressman who has shown any
inclination to support the gold
standard in preference to the free
silver fallacy has come in for con-
dcmnation. After the News has
proven everybody else incompe-
tent to sit in congress-to its own
satisfaction-it will no doubt tell
the people of one man who is en-
inently qualified for such Office.
That man in the opinion of the
News-although its excessive
modesty will not permit it to say
SO just yet-is the editor and pro
prietor Of the News, Mr.. T. M.
