WINTER A HERE.
Mercury and Cutting Winds
Herald His Approach.

Lowering Mercury n Cutting Wtnos
Herald His Approach.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
Although somewhat slow in making
connection with this part Of the state,
winter apparently has finally arrived
and even the oldest inhabitant" is
put to some difficulty in trying to re-
call another year when at this time
the mercury showed a greater inclina-
ton to seek the lower levels of the
bulb than it has manifested during
the past two or three days. Friday
night was the coolest Of the season.
the thermometer at the fire station, a
government instrument, registering %
degrees below zero. While there was
a considerable moderation Of tempera-
ture as the day grew older, the same
instrument registered Is below be-
tween 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon.
Railroad traffic is badly disarrang-
ed in consequence of the cold, and
snow, which covers the tracks. All
trains are arriving several hours be-
hind their regular time and great diff
ficulty is experienced in keeping pipes
thawed out so that the cars may be
| even moderately warm. The Yellow
| stone, which has been open SO far,
was reported as about closed yester-
day, except where rapids exist and
even there ice was forming along the
| shores and but a small portion of the
channel was clear.
Snow fell during the greater part
of the day and was still falling last
night and the range, which has been
bare all season, is now well covered.
Stockmen say that little il any dan
ger need be apprehended as to the
condition of flocks and herds. Since
the stormy weather began, they say,
stock of all kinds has drifted and is
now on parts of the range where shelf
er is to be found and which have not
been grazed over. Even if the storm
should prove much more v than
is now anticipated and be of long dura.
ton, ample precaution has been taken
by all, both sheep and cattlemen, to
care for their stock by providing a
supply of hay to be fed in case OF
emergency, and there will be no repe'
tition of the losses that have occurred
in other years before it was consider
ed necessary to provide feed and ami
mails were forced to hunt their own
living. While the snow may interfere
somewhat with grazing it assures ar
abundance of moisture during the win
ter and much needed water later On.

AS SHERIFF.
Serves Process Where Latter Officer
Is Defendant.

For the first time since his election
Coroner Chapple finds himself called
upon to perform the duties of sheriff,
by reason of the fact that Mr.. Hub
bard is disqualified from acting in
this particular case, he being the de-
PENDANT in the action. The suit is n
of several in which the present plain
tiff figures and is brought to regain
possession of a we'll drilling outfit,
which the plaintiff alleges to own.
The title Of the suit is the Kelly &
Tanneyhill company VS.. George w.
Hubbard, sheriff. Sometime ago Henry
Kerkenbush bought the machinery
from the company, an Iowa concern,
but being unable to pay for it, gave a
mortgage on the plant. The time
for making payment having passed
without any move on the part of kerk-
enbush to settle, the company took
possession Of the plant and instituted
suit for foreclosure. While the suit
was still pending, Elmer Summers,
who also had a claim against Kerken-
bush brought an action and attached
the machinery. The attorney for the
company learned of this and the pres
ent suit against the sheriff is another
chapter in the litigenous complica-
tions arising out of Kerkenbush'c in
ability to pay a debt he contracted.
The machinery is at the ranch OF
E. P. Boshart, who lives near Canyon
creek, and this morning the acting
sheriff intends to go there and serve
the necessary papers. In view of the
| fact that he will receive no more-than
the rather niggardly statutory fees
instead of being permitted to charge
what he would ordinarily consider as
a reasonable fee, causes the doctor
to anticipate his long and cold ride
with but little pleasure.

INDIGNATION AGAINST LUTHER.
SheIbyvilIe Citizens Bernard that He
Take Ray to Prison.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Feb. 10.-Crowds
of people stood around on the streets all
day discussing the verdict in the Ray case
and criticising Sheriff Luther because he
does not confine Ray to jail, as he would
any ordinary prisoner. This morning Luz
ther was asked if Ray spent the night in
Jail. and he informed the questioner that
it was none of the public's business where
Ray spent the night. From the best in
formation obtainable Ray slept in his W
house. in charge of Deputy Sheriff Chester
Luther. Public feeling is rising to such
an extent that an Indignation meeting is
likely to be held before the week passes.
In charge of Deputy Luther. Ray paraded
the streets to-day, laughing and talking as
IL he were getting ready 10 take a trip 10
Hot Springs. He spent part of the morn
ing in a barber shop, surrounded by his
friends and former associates. AT noon to-
day he took dinner at the sheriff's resi-
dence.
II is very probable that tomorrow inn
parchment proceedings will be begun
against Luther An attorney is authority
for the statement that all hat is necessary
is the affidavit of a citizen that Luther is
great danger that a prisoner may escape.
Such an affidavit would be presented to the
judge, who. If the case merits ii, may sus-
pend the sheriff and appoint another to
serve. Sheriff Luther is a candidate for re-
election two years hence, and the treat
ment of Ray differently from other prison
erS may result in his defeat.

MARIAN SIGNAL LIGHTS
MIR. EDDY SAYS THEY WOULD RE-
QUIRE 100 MILES OF MIRRORS.
Experiments with Mirror Flashes and
suits Bearing on Army Signals.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-William A. Eddy.
at Bayonne, n. j., to-day continued and
in a measure completed his tests of the
rejecting power of mirror sun flashes as
compared with sun-lit and cloud-shaded
snow. AS a result of to-day's experiments
Mr.. Eddy found that mirror sun flashes
were about fourteen times as bright as
cloud-shaded snow and eight times as
bright as sun-lit snow. Previous expert
ments showed that sun-lit snow was only
about twice as bright as snow Swallowed
by clouds of ordinary density. Mr.. Eddy
considers these experiments important,
In that they bear upon the visibility of
army signals from snow-capped mountain
peaks.
The test for the relative lighting powers
was made by taking a sixteen-candle power
oil lamp held close to a sheet OF paper,
the center of which had been made semi
transparent by oil. The test was to see
how near or far the lamp had TO be held
effaced by the white glare caused by the
sun-lit now outside Mr.. Eddy thinks
from this experiment that 1t is highly
probable that the light-fash seen from
Mars at Flagstaff, Ariz., could have re-
suited from the sudden lighting up with
sun rays of snow at the poles. which had
previously been cloud-shaded.
He also calculates that, supposing the
Martians to be using mirrors TO reflect
the light, 1t would be a stupendous under
taking to effect the result described. 1t
would require mirrors, he calculates, COW
ering over a hundred square miles to pro-
due the shaft of light.

MRS. MAVERICK SAIL TO HAVE RE-
CEIvED A PARDON.
Report from N d that the Long
Suffering American Woman Will
BE Given Freedom To-day.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1N.-A special cablegram
from london to the Chicago Record says:
"a Northumberland report reaches the
Record correspondent tonight TO the ef-
feet that Florence T. Maybrick will be
released from Aylesbury prison Tomorrow
Monday.) At the United States embassy
nothing is known about the matter, and
Ambassador Choate when seen at his resi-
Gence tonight declined either 10 deny or
confirm the rumor.
Ever since Charles Thomson Ritchie, the
new home secretary. came into office. last
November, efforts TO secure the release of
Mrs. Maybrick have been active, and have
continued up to within a very few days
ago. The efforts of Ambassador Choate,
although made informally, nave been I'M
ceasing. When Mrs. Maybrick was al
lowed the privilege of seeing her New
York lawyer. Mr.. Clarke Bell, last sum-
mer, that gentleman told the Record cor
respondent that the chances for his clients
release were more favorable than they
had been at any other time during her
twelve years Incarceration.
The authorities conversant with attempt
to secure the famous prisoners freedom
assert that If at last she is TO be given her
liberty, this may be regarded as due to The
influence of King Edward, and may be m
terpreted as a token of appreciation Of
American sympathy over the death OF
Queen Victoria.

ANOTHER WRECK.
Transport Rawlins Hard and Fast
Ashore at Santiago.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Feb. 1o.-The
United States transport Rawlins went hare
aground this morning on a coral reef near
the wreck of the United States collier Mer-
rimac. She arrived at daybreak. anchored
ir the bay and then started to return to
Nispero cove, near the mouth of the har-
Dor. where is located the MORO Castle
wharf. intending to embark the troops of
the Tenth United States Infantry for New
York to-day.
An incompetent pilot attempted TO pass
on the wrong side of the Merrimac and
struck the hidden reef hard. Three pow
erfui tugs pulled unsuccessfuliy all the
afternoon in the attempt to float the uig
ship At low tide her bow was two feet
out of the water. Another attempt will
be made to float her at high tide tonight.
Probably, however. il will be necessary to
rig elaborate tackle before she can be
foated. As she lies in a protected place,
she Is in no danger and the likelihood Is
that she is not injured. but all the present
indications point to considerable delay in
getting her of.
The transport Rawlius was formerly the
United States naval steamship Resolute,
an auxiliary cruiser purchased from the
Clyde Steamship Company during the war
with Spain. She was built Of steel. az
Chester, Pa, in 1894. Her tonnage Is 2.S9s
gross, 2,126 net; length. 299 feet 5 inches:
nodded beam, 40 feet; depth. 16 feet s
inches. She is schooner rugged.
