THE MURRAY TRIAL.
State to Conclude This Evening. Defense
to Take Up the Case Tomorrow.

tO lake up Tic NdSe IOinOIIOW'
A telephone message from County
Attorney Hughes, who is assisting the
state in the "Kasota Case now being
heard at LIE Sueur Center, was re-
ceived this morning in which he states
that the case against Martin Murray
is progressing very satisfactorily and
that the state will no doubt get
through this evening and that the de-
tense will go on in the morning. Moth
ing has occursed to alter the case from
what was said at the preliminary hear
ng at Kasota some time ago. He also
states that it has as yet not been de-
termined whether the others will be
tried at this term or not. A large
number of witnesses on both sides will
be placed upon the stand and the case
is being strongly contested. 1t will no
doubt be Saturday before the case
reaches the jury.
A telephone message from another
source late this afternoon says that
good progress has been made on the
trial today and some twenty witnesses
had at that time been examined on
the part of the state and three or four
others were to be examined. The state
will finish tonight. A very strong
case has been made out on the part of
the state. The defense was unable to
shake the story of Miss Welsh in the
least. The testimony submitted was
practically the same as that given at
the hearing at Kasota. Among the
witnesses on the part of the state to be
examined were one or two experts
from Minneapolis.

Storage of Flood Water.

AT the annual congress of the SAM
tary institute at Southampton Prof
Henry Robinson said the better con-
servation Of the rainfall was of ma
tional Importance. since the water
available for the requirements OF the
people did not increase with the popu-
lation. Every year a struggle arose
for watersheds, whence the supply for
large towns could be obtained, while
village populations had too often to
depend upon shallow wells, which
were liable to pollution. Flood waters
should be stored, so as to render the
flow OF rivers more equable, and the
excess water which now caused dam
age by floods would be available for
domestic supply. irrigation, and i'm

IN artistic circles of late some ecu.
Germ has been oecasioned by the in
creasing favor which photography is
finding among the conductors of Illus
trated magazines. Black and white
draughtsmen fear that the camera is
going to tell pretudicially against their
calling That may be true of the
craftsmen whose skill Is below the av-
erage, but inquiries have elected the
fact that the demand for good and
original black and white work is
greater now than It ever was. At the
same time photography is daily play
Ing a more prominent part in the pro-
duction of popular magazines, one rea-
son therefor being that every other
man is an amateur taker of "sun pic
lures" and is naturally interested In

QUEER FOSSIL.

Jaw OF Huge UncIassified Animal
Found Ia New Mexico.
Santa Fe New Mexican: The fossil
remains OF strange prehistoric animal
were discovered recently at Postmaster
Nusbaumss ranch, at Teseuque. AL
phonso Doekweiler, who has charge OF
digging ditch through a ridge on the
ranch, picked up piece of petrided
bone the shape Of a large tongue, but
with row Of twelve teeth along what
seemed to be the tip OF the tongue. He
dug little further and found the re-
uainder of what seemed to be the jaw
ni an animal that was part ichthyosau-
rus and part plesiosaurus, with some OF
the characteristics of the pterodactyl
perhaps. The jaw consisted of about
twenty layers of bone Ia the shape of
tongue, and each layer was armed with
a dozen teeth, which showed that the
animal was herbivorous and not car
nivorous. These twenty layers were
evidently the upper jaw of the animal
Mr.. Dockweiler expects to find the low
sr jaw and perhaps all Of the remains
of the strange animal. AS much as he
has found he will bring to this city
and from here ship it to the Smithson-
ian institution in Washington. Two
layers of the jaw were brought to the
city by J. G. SchumanE and shown to
friends, WHO were all puzzled by their
unusual shape. It is well known that
the surroundings of Santa Fe abouEd

seem TO prove that in long gone-by
ages the site OF the city was covered
by sea. Only half mile up the ar
royo and canyon that branch off Pal
ace avenue, near the old brewery, pref
ty petrified seashells are to be found
At many other places there are unmis-
taxable signs Of the erosion of the
waves and footprints of gigantic pre-
historic amphibians, who made their
home both in the water and on the
land in the days when the highest
peaks OF the Rocky mountain range
were only islands in a vast ocean.

PIG DYING or GRIEF.
When It's Only Friend, Cow, Was
Taken Away Tt Refused Fond.

away II hSkUstu OOQs
A little pig OF Smiths island is vast
Ing slowly away-dying, in fact, of
grief, because Of its separation from
COW to which it was devotedly at
tached, says the Boston Globe. Smiths
island, composed of 100 acres or more,
is about mile distant from Norwalk,
Conn. A lighthouse stands on its east
ern coast and its only inhabitants are
Samuel Armour and bis mother. TO
soften her state of semi-isolation, as.
well as because they are profitable,
Mrs. Armour raises quite little farm
yard stock, such as ducks, hens, goat
ard a cow. The name of the COW is
PaEsF. Pansy arrived on Smiths is
as. zen only a calf and consequently
kIle.z : Little of the outside world and
its esYious ways. From her infancy
she I'D come in contact with hens and
ducks and geese. she even rubbed
skirts with a goat, but one quadruped
Pansy had not seen was pig. When,
therefore, last spring Mr. Armour
brought to Smiths island from the
mainland fat little pig, It's appear
anee caused Pansy good deal of sur
prise and excited the farmyard gen
orally. The little pig was not popular
by any means. AS for Pansy. she
could not bear the sight of it. Buffo
(Which is the name of the little pig)
from the first manifested an intense
affection for the COW. Pansy's heart
gradually softened toward the poor
little porker and finally, to parody
Mary and her little lamb. every place
that Pansy went the pig was. sure to
go. Although in time the other live
stock came to assume an attitude Of
benevolent neutrality toward Buffo, the
dog was an exception. He frequently
chased Buffo for it's dear life. but after
awhile 9ansy interposed in its behalf
and when Hector pressed Buffo too
closely Would take the pig in her
mouth and, lifting it high in the air,
keep it there out OF harms way until
the danger had passed. And now stress
of circumstances has parted the loyal
comrades. Mrs. Armour, who is no
longer young, finding that caring for
COW with her other duties was too
much for her, sold pansy to farmer
for much less than her value, provided
that she should not be given to thu
butcher. When B1ffo missed its friend,
which was very soon. 1t was ineonsola-
ble It's squeals OF grief could be
heard all over the island. It has since
then refused its food and grows thin
ner each day. It is probable that Mrs
Armour will sell or give Buffo away
to the same farmer; otherwise the
days of the affectionate little pig will
have been numbered and grave will
be dug somewhere on Smiths island.

MEAT pEDDLERS.
They Must Pay a License Fee If They Have
Not a Regular Shop.

The law prohibits the peddling Of
meat by persons not engaged as regu-
lar butchers, and not maintaining a
shop or market. Indeed, the butchers
seem to have a cinch in this respect,
yer in the mining camps. Compiled
Laws, 1897, section 80, says: ANY per-
son or persons not having a regular
butcher shop, market or stall, but who
engages in the business Of peddling
meats in any town, plaza or settlement
or mining camp in this territory shall
pay a license of $50, which, when col
lected. shall go to the school fund, to be
paid annually in advance"
The law in another place (sections 81
and So provides that all such persons
shall also give a bond and keep a rec
ord book under a penalty of from $50
to 800.
