HBDEAS CORPUS FOR WEST
Attorneys Appear before the Supreme
Court today to Argue Habeas
Corpus for West
Attorney John M Cochrane Appears for
the Defendant and States
Attorney Opposes.
Facts in the Case Presented by Both
Sides to Sustain Contentious
Pro and Con.

In the supreme court today is being
argued an application for writ of ha-
beas corpus for the release of W. E.
West, who shot and killed Frank
March at Grand Forks, on bail The
application is being argued by J. M.
Cochrane of the. firm of Cochrane &
Corliss for West, and is being resisted
by States Attorney Wineman, who ap-
pears for the state. The particulars
of this application are familiar to
readers from the proceedings had at
Grand Forks, where the application
for bail was made before Judge Fisk,
who refused to- admit West to bail.
Vests attorneys claim that the case
is such one as should entitle the de-
fendant to be admitted to reasonable
bail His attorneys claim that the
element of self defense enters into the
crime committed, and that there was
a lack of generalization on the part
of West in shooting March, who, they
claim, was the aggressor in the unfor-
tunate affair which resulted in his
death. The state does not admit the
contentious of the defense, and claims
that West had thorough knowledge of
what he was doing at the time he fired
the shot, and that he was at that par
ticular time, not in danger of violence,
as the men had been separated.
The case will be taken under advise
ment by the court

Of certain drugs, and any ordinary trap
set in their haunts is likely to be sue
cessful If dressed with these scents, the
attra ction of which, rat catchers affirm,
they cannot resist. An example is:
Powdered assatetida, eight grains; oil
Of rhodium, two drams; oil of aniseed,
one dram; oil of lavender, one-half
dram. Shake together in bottle and
use very small quantity to dress the
bait.
10 catch rats, cover common barrel
with stiff, stout paper, tying the edge
round the barrel. Place board so that
the rats may have easy access to the
top. Sprinkle cheese parings or other
food for the rats on the paper for sew
eral days until they begin to think that
they have right to their daily rations
from this source Then place, in the
bottom OF the barrel piece of rock
about six or seven inches high, filling
with water until only enough of it
projects above the water for one rat to
lodge upon.
Now replace the paper, first cutting a
cross in the middle, and the first rat
that comes on the barrel top goes
through into the water and climbs on
the; rock. The paper comes back to it's
original position, and the second rat
follows the first. Then begins "a fight

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Wheat: Cables
were higher in response to our adj,
vance Saturday. Our market opened
5ac lower and on very heavy selling
the market became weak and sold 11Mc
below Saturdays high point.
There has been some rainfall in the
winter wheat belt and this was what
caused the selling. The selling has
been mostly by local traders though
and the country holds on. The Wis
ible shows an increase of only little
over two million bushels which has
served to help the market. Wheat
recovered some of the early loss and
sold UP to 1874 for May but another
selling movement set in and it was
knocked down to 771&c at which point
some support was given the market and
y prices stiffened up considerably. This
decline in wheat is but natural and we
look for another boom and think it is
a purchase on any recessions for good
stiff profit. During the last hour
wheat made UP the loss of the early
TRADING and gained 15c over the open
ing selling ait 1876.
Corn has been weak also, selling Off
1Ac from Saturday on heavy selling.
At the low point some buying orders
came in and the price worked up sc
where it held steady, then sold up 1c,
closing a trifie lower than yesterday.
Oats have shared the weakness of
wheat and corn and sold off 15sc
Around 46c there was some good buy
ing and the market became strong and
took shoot up.
Provisions were some lower on early
realizing, but a decided strong under
tone developed and May pork sold 1Oc
higher than yesterday in sympathy
with the strength shown in the last
hour in coarse grains.

"SHE BURNS GREEN."
The Discovery of Borax In Death
Valley by Aaron Winters.

The Discovery OF BoFax In Death
Valley by Aaron Winters.
The greatest discovery of borax In
the United States was made in the ter
ribly hot region known as Death val
ley and in most romantic way. The
Chicago Record tells the story.
In 1880 Aaron Winters lived with his
wife Rosie, in a gulch known as Ash
Meadows, not far from the mouth Of
Death valley. He was so fond of
his wife that he would not allow her to
be long absent from him, although
their little hut on the side of the noun
tain was Il hundred miles from the
nearest neighbor, in wild, rugged
forsaken country.
One day desert tramp came along
and spent the night at the Winters
home. He told the hunter about the
borax deposits Of Nevada. When he
had seen deposits Of the same kind on
his explorations into Death valley.
Accordingly he and his wife went to-
gether to make the search. having pre-
viously provided themselves with GER
tain test chemicals, which when COM
bined with boraX and ignited would
produce q green fame. .. d..
Having procured piece Of the sub.
stance which he believed to be borax.
Winters aud his wife waited for night
fall to make the test. How would 1t
burn? 49,
For years they had lived like Piutes
on the desert, entirely without luxuries
and often wanting for the very necessi-
ties of life. Would the match change
all that? @#l ~ -, RI %%..s-' ..... =.
Winters held the blaze to the sub
stance with "a trembling hand, then
shouted at the top Of his voice: "She
burns green, Rosie! We're rich! We're
richw +. >@s.ss! II $Tc1 $4, ) -
They had found borax. The mine
was sold for. $40. 900, and Winters took
his Rosie to d ranch in Nevada. 4
